If the question above completely confuses you, then you really need some background before voting. Required reading:

* Description and rationale for the Director position
* Candidate debate

Just vote for whoever you would like to hold the Director position. Candidates may vote however they like, and a vote for oneself is perfectly fine and expected.

We don't spot every fake account, but often we do, and if we find anyone voting twice under different accounts, that could be enough to ban you from the forum. So just vote once.

I read the candidates' platforms before voting, but not the debates. Is that going to be problematic at all?

I read before that it wasn't "Bruce," but I think it's a lot more poignant if this guy, Bruce, is being a killjoy. Groos? Neahhhh.

Only 64 votes out of the entire Caravelnet community? Are there only 64 people who actually post in the forum and play DROD?

Well, not really 64 votes. At least 8 of them didn't vote.

I'm of the impression it might have happened because some people either chose an answer to the first question but not the second, or to the second without the first. You don't need to answer all the questions in a multiple-question poll, but as a result the vote totals don't need to be the same for both columns, and neither column total has to add up to the total number of votes for the entire poll.

I think if you click 'View Results' it counts you in the Total Votes without answering any of the questions. Which seems more likely for several people to do.

Actually for the contest thread that number is huge.

Before I started entering contest I never looked here. I spent my time getting help with rooms and the rest of the forum was a mystery to me. I beleive that is true for many users of this forum. They have one interest, either help or rankings and that is all they really pay attention to.

That is why having a Director of the Department of Grand Constructions is such a great idea, and why my favorite candidate MeckMeck GRE would be the best leader to stimulate more intrest in other areas of the forum.

Five hours to go, and it's looking like jbluestein's gonna get it, though Chaco could squeeze in if last minute votes arrive. :)

Nice job, jbluestein. While I am naturally somewhat disappointed that I was not elected, I am glad that you were elected and I think you'll do a fantastic job using your power for the greater good. I look forward to the period in which your actions matter more than most.

Well, the election is over, and naturally I am pleased to have won.

I'd like to thank all the participants in the process, including those who voted for Chaco and MeckMeck -- taking an interest in the whole process is important.

A few statements about the future, such as I can make now:

I don't know entirely what the process will be for appointing positions in the Department of Grand Constructions. I imagine it will be fairly informal. But at the moment, it looks like I'll be appointing an Art Finder, a Voice Finder, and a Forum Reporter. I have some ideas for some people, but I'd like to encourage people who are interested in the roles to drop me a PM, or to make a post in a relevant section (here, or in the Department Thread).

Also, I'd like to announce that all children under the age of thirteen years old are now...thirteen years old! Furthermore, everyone will change their underwear every hour. Underwear will be worn on the outside so we can check!

(With apologies to Woody Allen)


Josh

I would be interested in being a Forum Reporter, if you would have me. I've been around a while, and I already read nearly everything, so it would be easy to make note of good threads while browsing. It wouldn't take more than a half hour to review the threads and write a short blurb about each, even if I don't have time to do it on the spot. I could do it in the "Miscellaneous Info" section of my profile - no one reads that, and I couldn't lose the list.

I would choose threads based on 3 major criteria:
1. Is it a thread that would bring benefit to readers, whether that benefit be in entertainment, information, mental stimulation, etc.?
2. Would the thread still be relevant if the Illumination were delayed another month?
3. Has it never been mentioned as a topic pick before? (I can find this quickly with the forum search function, searching for author "ErikH2000" in board "The Illumination" containing the topic ID number e.g. 17312 for this one.)

I would require the following information:
* Whether to whittle them down to a certain number, look for a certain type, etc. or whether that will be done by someone else.
* When the deadline for getting things finalized will be, preferably known a day or three beforehand.
