So, we have five to many candidates...

Shog9

@Seth Naw. You have 12 runners-up.

Seth

Really? We have fifteen and I thought only 10 could move on..

Heya @jokerdino :)

Luis Alvarado

There are some evil people in the elections lol. I just got 3 downvotes

Seth

Luis Alvarado

Curious if there is a prize for getting negative votes

Seth

00:17

@LuisAlvarado Well you got +1 from me :D

jokerdino

@Seth Hey :)

Shog9

@Seth Only 10 move on to Round 2, but only 3 are actually elected.

This is a very healthy election so far

Seth

ah, now I get it.

Luis Alvarado

thanks Seth, when I get to president, you will be the vice

Seth

LOL

@jokerdino You have the second most votes ;)

jokerdino

00:19

Really?

Let me check for a sec.

67, 60 and 58.

Luis Alvarado

be right back, need to fix so plumbing issue here

jokerdino

I have the least downvotes tied with Obs.

Seth

@jokerdino oh, I was just counting rounded scores.

jokerdino

I would be happier without a downvote ;)

Seth

lol

jokerdino

00:21

Anyway, primaries doesn't mean anything :(

Seth

no one got away without one..

@jokerdino for the popular folks, no.

jokerdino

As in, it doesn't determine who wins the election.

Seth

well no.

Luis Alvarado

voted for joker, roland and obsessive

because their first letters say JOR (Jor-El)

Seth

@LuisAlvarado you aren't going to vote for any more?

Luis Alvarado

00:31

I can vote for more?

lol

I thought it was 3. Took me like 5 minutes to actually decide which 3

Seth

@LuisAlvarado This is primary.

You only get 3 in election, in primary you get unlimited.

Luis Alvarado

ok added mateo and ringtail.. aka he knows who

sorry did not know that

Seth

@LuisAlvarado well, you only get a primary if there are more than 10 candidates, and AU has never had more than 10.

Luis Alvarado

and now feichinger

and hhlp

Seth

lol

Wonder who will really win?

Luis Alvarado

00:34

isn't it obvious

it will be....

Rolandino! (Roland and Jokerdino)

Seth

lol ★

I think you will make it too :)

Luis Alvarado

lets see if I get to the second part

if not, it was fun to go for it

Journeyman Geek

XD, perfectly good reason for me to stand >_>

Luis Alvarado

I personally think the first 3 are all good, knowledgeable and the rest have all contributed well.

Seth

@LuisAlvarado the order is random :S

Luis Alvarado

00:38

well the first 3 that have more votes

Journeyman Geek

:/ I am getting lots of downvotes

Seth

@JourneymanGeek are you allowed to see upvote/downvote stats?

Luis Alvarado

I find it down that that is an option

downvotes I mean what???

Journeyman Geek

@LuisAlvarado: Like, people are like 'I actively do not want this chap to be a mod'

as opposed to "I like these people so I upvote them" or "Meh, whatever"

Oh, its their right. I just wonder why these 17 people feel that strongly

RolandiXor

01:35

Things changed up a bit this year.

I haven't cast my votes yet.

jokerdino

01:46

@RolandiXor Last year, we have no primaries.

and you are leading. Cheers.

RolandiXor

@jokerdino I would like to find some info on the process again.

I forgot some of the details.

jokerdino

We skipped the primaries last year because we had less than 11 candidates.

Journeyman Geek

yup

did EC get disqualified last elections too? ;p

jokerdino

no, he didn't have enough rep the last time

RolandiXor

02:06

So, what do the votes in primaries mean again?

jokerdino

The top 10 candidates progress to the next phase.

Journeyman Geek

yup

RolandiXor

Oh I see.

Community is ahead.

Journeyman Geek

jokerdino

FEichinger

14:13

What the ... I have 21?

smartboyhw

@FEichinger Good

FEichinger

I'm slightly surprised. I expected something like two or three, like barely enough to make it to the elections if at all.

But getting so close to Amith and mateo is ... definitely a surprise.

2 hours later…

jokerdino

guntbert

@jokerdino: definitely not :-)), thx
