@MarshallTigerus To be clear, there is only one shirt

Shalvenay

hey there @daze413

daze413

@Shalvenay heyo! This election thing is a pretty good distraction.

Shalvenay

how're things going?

daze413

Saturdays are pretty slow for me, work-wise, so am just reading the newly-filled questionnaires

Shalvenay

we are spoiled for choice here

daze413

01:36

@MarshallTigerus oh, woops, didn't read the above.

Shalvenay

@doppelgreener yeah, some people JDGI regarding the distributed-moderation nature of Stacks

Possibly useful reading for candidates:

Q: What do moderators do here?

There's an election going on right now, and as a result there's rather a lot of discussion about the role that moderators play on this site. ...actually, that conversation has been going on for quite a while. One of the hardest problems that faces those hardy souls who step up to nominate the...

I have a number of shirts floating around for this business venture. My fans shall have the pick of the lot :)

@daze413 Ah, no this has been upgraded. Three shirts!

@Shog9 I feel as though this chart may be a little biased #AlternativeRoleplayFacts

@doppelgreener isn't a mod already?

O.o

I could have sworn he was

doppelgreener

@M.A.R. i've been getting that a few times just since nominating! i'm not actually!

(but it's very flattering)

M.A.R.

@doppelgreener No I swear I saw you as a mod on RPG the other day

Mithrandir

But - but - but then doppelgreener will be blue! :O

doppelgreener

@Mithrandir this has crossed my mind 🤔

M.A.R.

@Mithrandir I see nothing wrong with it

Mithrandir

19:45

@M.A.R. I'm awesome at those :}

Maybe @doppelgreener can tell me if I epically failed here.

M.A.R.

Not epic

Epic failures are reserved for epic people

Mithrandir

My name is a character from an epic fantasy series.

M.A.R.

Oh man, being mean to you is fun

Hang around more, so I can keep being condescending

Mithrandir

@M.A.R. But dangerous :} *evil grin*

M.A.R.

People on meta.ELL sometimes make me wanna scream

@Mithrandir So I can maintain sanity by . . . no you're not

@Mithrandir finger hovers over nuke button

M.A.R.

NO YOU'RE NOT

doppelgreener

@Mithrandir approved and edited to correct typos (they might be dyslexic), i have no idea what 'lnorm' is though.

Mithrandir

@doppelgreener gracias

@Mithrandir pushing your responsibility up the chain now, eh? ;)

M.A.R.

Is mod-fight more like a rooster fight or a gladiator fight?

Mithrandir

19:52

@ArtOfCode Merely waiting to report a double mod and cause an intersite scandal...

M.A.R.

@Mithrandir My parent site isn't set to Literature. Bring it on!

Mithrandir

@M.A.R. It's invisible because it takes place is modworld

M.A.R.

@Mithrandir Lame

Mithrandir

@M.A.R. Don't tempt me :} *evil cackle*

Mithrandir

@doppelgreener Linnorm, apparently.

Such bureaucratic efficiency!

in Language Overflow, Dec 4 '15 at 20:45, by StoneyB

I feel adequately classified now.

Riker

@doppelgreener are you running?

yes you are :D

Mithrandir

@Riker yes he is.

Riker

20:17

good luck!

you'd be a great mod

doppelgreener

@Riker I am

Thank you :)

Riker

M.A.R.

@Riker No, he's probably just chatting

Only 1500 reviews. Noob.

Riker

I mean obviously some people are ;P such as mith

imma have to get 150 rep so I can vote

M.A.R.

Oh wait, it's votes

doppelgreener

20:18

@M.A.R. yeah, i'm curious what the graph looks like with reviews as the horizontal axis

M.A.R.

921 reviews?

Bah

chemistry.stackexchange.com/review

You guyses have almost as many questions as chem

But 1/3rd the reviews? O.o

What could be the reason?

And dang, how does Nathan get time to do so many reviews?

Mithrandir

@M.A.R. What about EdChum?

M.A.R.

@Mithrandir Meh, reviewing on SO is pretty easy

There's always questions to review

It's these sites that you need to go review hunting

Mithrandir

@M.A.R. *if you code

M.A.R.

@Mithrandir Donchu asterisk me!

Mithrandir

20:25

@M.A.R. cud u prufer eye justt edit?

M.A.R.

No really, amassing that many reviews is easier than what this site's top reviewer has done

1 hour later…

doppelgreener

21:27

Yeah on any given day there's 0-3 reviews I can actually do, in total

on stack overflow i can just steam through to the max review limit every single day ezpz

nitsua60

@doppelgreener If I really lurk hard I might review a half-dozen in a day. Just not ever that much there. I think once I saw 5 in the queues.

fectin

I've only ever seen a queue length of one, and that rarely. I lurk less, but still.

BESW

I think I saw 13 once, a long time ago. It was scary.

nitsua60

@doppelgreener looks like we've got a primary going. It'll be interesting to see whether the meta you just posted makes you a lock for a landslide or makes you contentious. In either case, I think it's a great post.

OTOH, the convo in the side-room made me consider withdrawing. Left a bad taste in my mouth.

@BESW Whoa.

BESW

@nitsua60 "Contentious Landslide" would be a good name for a collaboration album between Chris Rock and Mel Gibson.

doppelgreener

21:37

@nitsua60 Might want to wait 'til SevenSidedDie makes his response to see what you'd like to do.

(if it happens in a timely manner)

nitsua60

@doppelgreener Yeah... no need to rush anything. It was just... a little disheartening. In nicer news, one of my regular Wednesday players went into labor an hour ago =)

Off to order this onesie

Mithrandir

@nitsua60 tell her congratulations from the Internet

nitsua60

@Mithrandir Thanks! We rushed to finish off a campaign about a week ago, expecting this, so the only cliffhanger'd be the baby's name =D

BESW

Hooray!

Gerry

@SPavel A suspended user can't run for a mod...

nitsua60

21:46

@BESW That's... one of the scariest duos I've ever had to imagine.

Mithrandir

@Gerry until a year after the suspension ends.

Gerry

Yes... though with KRyan currently suspended, the length of the period is more or less irrelevant as far as the current election goes.

fectin

22:02

KRyan is suspended?

nitsua60

@fectin It would appear so.

fectin

... huh.

nitsua60

Hmm... if anyone thinks it matters, the votes on the questionnaire have gotten off-balance again. I'm on record as saying I think it's better to have them all level for the random-ordering on page-load that'll result but I can't do anything about it, having used my votes already.

doppelgreener

22:21

@nitsua60 Hooray! They're all back on 3.

@fectin Oh wow, shoot.

fectin

I don't think they need to be, but that seems to be the consensus anyway, so it's just good housekeeping

nitsua60

@doppelgreener Woo-hoo =)

(It's on my todo list tonight to read through all of them and make some notes. I followed the first few as they came in, then got swamped.)

fectin

22:42

I went through the past few days of activity, and can find anything that looks suspension-ey. rpg.stackexchange.com/posts/98580/revisions, maybe?

MadMAxJr

22:55

Man. The site community goes feral here every election.

mxyzplk

23:23

@MadMAxJr Hm, I'd challenge that, I think the process is going pretty well. A surprisingly high number of good candidates, and good discussion. It's not near as contentious as the IRL elections!

fectin

23:36

^truth

MadMAxJr

Yeah, but like clockwork the Meta gets these giant us vs them posts.

I don't have the heart for it, so I don't get involved.

Shalvenay

...KRyan is suspended? o.O

MadMAxJr

Appears to be suspended for seven days, yeah
