-> Election Time <-

[BusterBunny]

Folks,

here comes the time to vote.

First of, BzAli was kind enough to empty his PM box, and receive your votes. So, in order to vote, you first have to PM BzAli.

Are only eligible people who had a country before I was nominated as head moderator (that would be last week), or are moderators in this RPG.

In your message to BzAli, you will state your country and/or mod role, and you will rank the following candidates:

Friedrich II
Ladislav
SaT

The rank order should be like this:

1) **player you find the most suitable for the head mod role**
2) **second best for the head mod role**
3) **worse for the head mod role**

For the first position, 3 points will be awarded.
For the second position, 2 points will be awarded.
For the third position, 1 points will be awarded.


You have until Friday, February the 4th, at 11h59PM to cast you vote to BzAli. So please do so as early as possible.

Please post any questions in this thread.

Cheers!

As with the battle orders deadline, CET (GMT +1).

Why can't we just post our votes on the forum so that everyone will have a first-hand view of the voting breakdown?

I think the fear is that people will start to blame mod decisions on voting records. If I vote for A, and B gets elected, and suddenly B's decisions as mod started coming down against me, I might think he had been influenced by my vote. And vice versa.

Voting in secret prevents the issue.

I see voting influence being a problem, but I don't see what you mentioned being a problem. I think it would be best if the by-member voting results were posted afterwards, at least. This would make sure everything was done fairly.

You know what they say PE, "A liar won't be believe anyone else."

Regardless, I can't think of any modern election where person by person they give the results of the vote.

I think the great majority of us have every bit of confidence in Bazza's ability to be trusted.

So first Bz calls me a liar, and now you're calling PE one. Your "side" really aren't the most polite bunch, I must say.

For God's sake, reading NK's statement as calling PE a liar is a real stretch. Let's just have the damn election and move on.

amen.

Who are allowed to vote? Only registered players? Someone mentioned Calipah voting...

 

[BusterBunny]

Secret voting is part of the most basic principle of democracy.

You wanted democracy, even the ITF crowd demanded for this form of voting, so I have allowed this most basic right to the forum members.

Lots of people called lots of other people lots of things. It doesn't prevent us from voting.

I, as official vote-counter, would like official confirmation, in this thread, that cccino has withdrawn from the election.

In order not to grant an unfair advantage to those who voted before cccino withdrew, I'll, once confirmation has been posted, delete cccino from those votes, and reassign points as follows.

3 point to your no. 1 candidate, 2 points to your no. 2, 1. point to your no. 3.

Thank you for your attention.

As per the corrected first post of this thread, I confirm.

Thanks BzAli!

Election result​

​

Valid votes received: 20
Invalid votes received: 1

It has been a requirement for a vote to be counted that it listed all three candidates. Those who submitted an invalid vote received a PM, informing them of this demand, and if they resubmitted a valid vote, it was counted.

Votes received before cccino withdrew from the elections had cccino deleted from the priority list, and the points were then recounted.

The result is:

Friedrich II: 30

SaT: 45

Ladislav: 45

All votes received have been saved.

With this result, I recommend, but without having the authority to decide, that either
a) a second round of election is held, with only SaT and Ladislav as candidates. For this election, I once again volunteer to receive and count votes.
or
b) The candidate listed by most as their primary choice for the position, who is to be found amond SaT and Ladislav, is declared the winner.

I will only reveal the winner under condition b), should both SaT and Ladislav announce publicly that they will accept the result.

It has been a true pleasure playing with all of you. I wish the EU: M RPG the best under the new head-mod, whomever this may turn out to be.

 

[unmerged(8915)]

hmm.

i will talk with SaT as soon as I see him and we'll come up with a solution even though option "B" sounds more reasonable

and i accept the results and everything thank you for the votes, guys.

 

[unmerged(8054)]

Under these circumstances, with both candidates having accepted that the candidate with most priority 1 votes will win, I hereby announce:

Ladislav: 9 priority 1 votes.

SaT: 7 priority 1 votes.

As such, I am proud to declare Ladislav as winner of the election and thus head-mod of the EU: M RPG.
May his reign be long and full of fun and roleplaying.
