Arbiter

[NF]

As Kond pointed out on chat, it has indeed been over a year since I was made arbiter so it's time for us to choose who will be looking after the next year. Anyone that is interested in putting their name forward should make themselves known on here. Also feel free to nominate other people as well if you think they will be a good choice.

We'll give it a couple of weeks to make sure people have a chance to see this post and then I'll set up a poll for the vote.

If nobody posts and nobody votes, you have it for life, and that is fine with me.

[Kon]

I nominate Anubis, NF and Whizbang

[BlackDove]

Joke's on you, NF already has it, meaning he's the most qualified, so it goes to him per default.

So far we have:

Whizbang
Anubis
Me

Any more nominations?

[M.Steiner]

Just a little note but our nominations process has always been to nominate up to two people. Kon has put forward 3. Nothing major, but if we're disregarding that and allowing any & all nominations this year we should probably set a new max. Otherwise (other than common sense) there's no reason to stop people from posting any amount of nominations they wanted.

Since 2 nominations are also needed to get on the ballot, I'll give NF his second

[NF]

Cheers MS for the clarification. Two seems a reasonable limit but, given that I didn't make the rules clear in my post, I suggest we let Kond's nominations stand and see if we get some seconds.

[Anubis]

I second NF and Whizbang.

Sorry it's taken me a few days to get to this, had a busy week!

[Whizbang]

Sorry guys but I have to abstain from the election. My life is super busy right now and with me losing 1.5-2hr of my life to driving to/from work on top of the 10+hr a day at the office and then all the husband duties at home.....well, let's just say that I'm the least qualified in regards to time. While I'm honored at the nods of confidence, my life says no. Therefore I say sorry guys.

[M.Steiner]

Could leave nominations open until the end of the week (so they'll have been up for 3 weeks, which I think is more than enough time myself?), but whilst it hasn't been done before, I wouldn't be against just having NF remain in the role for another year personally. Since Mech has abstained, he's the only person with the required amount of nominations needed to be put on the ballot and even if they're left open longer, we're not guaranteed to see any more noms and may end up doing that anyway.
