I've revised this answer to include considerably more detail on the history and underlying motivations here, @user1306322. I'm afraid it has become rather long in the process; quite honestly, this story could fill a book (but no one would read it). I hope I've managed to at least capture the spirit of this system in this summation. — Shog9 ♦5 mins ago
lol I have work and stuff to do (also how the f does one pull from bitbucket? it seems goddamn impossible) and I'm sitting waiting for election results.
@Hakase Compiled it myself. Originally, I saw some repetition and thought I might be able to do a whole square, but then I realized there's not an exact pattern being repeated so it would require a lot of work to do that
@MichaelMcQuade I don't recommend being on a public place for elections though. It is quite a feeling train to lose (this applies to every single candidate, not just you. Everyone has a risk of losing.)
personally you are my #1 and I hope you win, so I hope you understand that it is a general warning easier
I just shot a bunch of pics of the evening sky, at random angles at first , then very precisely in three different ways, and they all failed to get recognized properly by ps
4 batches of pics and the sky got dark by the time I finished this experiment but it didn't matter, I just wanted it to work

In 23rd episode of Kanon 2006 anime, Yuichi goes to School Ayu visited and met her there. Yuichi offered to grant her third wish.
Ayu then realizes, that third wish is... and we only see mouth moving.
What did she wished for?
You guys dodged a bullet by not electing me. I was going to change my avatar to Azu-Nyazi, declare myself Mod-Emperor of Anime and Manga, and become the worst tyrant the SE network has ever seen.
But in all seriousness, thanks to everyone who voted for me.
Diamond or no diamond, I'm planning to move ahead with some of the plans I talked about in the election.
The viewing circle idea was that several people would do a synchronized watch of a series all together so they could answer each others' questions and have discussions about it.
The watching part was going to be more everyone starting the series around the same time and watching at their own pace, asking questions on the main site along the way.
I agree doing anything truly synchronized would be hard because of time zones.
I guess you could just ask people to do that in a meta post, but chances are low that somebody would see that post, and then that they'd do it or keep doing it
dropoff rate is high at these things usually
one thing to encourage people to keep asking would be to show progress
like keeping a list of asked questions by participants of this viewing circle
it could work but I'm pessimistic about it even then
It was more about diversity, and honestly it was just my selfish wish. I don't watch Naruto or anything so a lot of the time I have nothing to do except moderation.
I think it's the same for a lot of us. Out of the top shows: Naruto, One Piece, Bleach, DBZ, and Death Note, I'm mentally finished with Death Note and DBZ and have no interested in answering questions on them, ten years behind and lukewarm on One Piece, and don't care at all about Naruto or Bleach.
I still love anime but I find myself drifting over to Sci-Fi and Fantasy a lot because I get sick of playing the third-grade writing teacher and asking people to add references to their answers.
I'm too lazy to ignore that many tags so I just have Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, and Fairy Tail ignored. And I used to have identification request ignored for a while.
I still see lots of terrible one-liner answers, but nothing that's going to kill us.
I really enjoy participating on the main site. But it does get frustrating when I'm the only one on the site following a particular series, so all my questions are unanswered or self-answered.
Now that the election's over, I guess it's time to change my avatar. And not to Azu-Nyazi.

I heard that you can get some dentists to give you Vampire teeth,
Do you think they could give you pointy shark teeth like rins?
