Drum roll, please...
So. After discussion and stuff that had happened a short while in the past which was sparked by Tiana's decision that she wanted more admins, this nice little list of candidates was chosen:
Joan Mekka Duncariel Cy
Consider this a formal request to each of the four listed above: please post here to either accept or decline your nomination, and reasons for declining if that's what you decide. As stated in the announcement by Tiana just a short while back, it would be really nice if you accepted and all, since there's really no democracy in winning by default, but if you've considered and must decline, that's understandable.
Once I've gotten notices in from all four of you, I'm going to start up the election officially. This will be for all members to participate in, because yes, the people will decide! It's a democracy! Huzzah!

*squints* Weeeelll... um, I guess I accept, as long as I can bring my toe Ring. And if there are no wombats invovled. Wombats are evil. They want to eat me. None of you are wombats, are you? World-Dominating Pigs I can handle, but no wombats, okay?
I shall now commence writing my speech. *plotty hands*

Huzzaaaaaaaah!!! Wait...*realizes she is no longer part of the crowd*
Ummm...uh...I'm...I'm Joan, of the Evil-ish Dark and Dark Grey Siders...and...uh...I greatfully accept the nomination for Admin. More on me later. For now, I'd like to express my support and appreciation for the other candidates. Also, I think we should all remember the much thanks due to Jandalf for stepping up to the plate. With our Admin 2 in charge, everyone knows that ME:I is in capable hands.
~Joan~

Man, we're on the ball...
M'kay, I hereby renounce my current name of 'Tiana'. For elections, at least, I shall be myself, because that's how it should work in a world of Elections-that-are-fair. And I accept the whole nominations thing. Yeah.
Now I have to go write a Cursed speech... *wanders off muttering*

Well, all you three want to be admin, so now I don't feel so bad saying this. I don't really want to be an admin. I like spending my time particing in 3D contests, improving my animations, and gaming. For me, I don't think being admin would be fun, and I wouldn't want to do it. I'm not much of a control freak. I just like flames. Furthermore, I'm not in to writing, and don't like reading through too much stuff, except when I'm interested in it. I hope its ok if I opt out. I'll still stay around and post & code stuff in the site. So you can pm me for coding suggestions/support/requests.

hey, can I post now that the 4 candidates have replied? I'm going to anyway.
CR, it's too bad you didn't want to be an admin, cuz I would've nominated you in a heartbeat, and I was going to too, 'cept you said you didn't want to. I think y'all would be great admins, personally speaking.
I am in favor of Dun and Mekka.
course, if CR changes his mind, i cast my vote for him too.

Yes, I will wait to hear speeches but, I have my heart set on a two people.. Even though one of them isn't anymore... *tears* But, I will wait for speeches to make my final decision.. Interesting choice of people if I do say so myself...

Okay...thanks for responding as quickly as you did, guys. Tiana posted that she'd like Cy to step into elections if possible, then... Cy has ESPS to keep her busy, if memory serves me, but on the flip side she's got experience through that, as well.
I'll ask for people not to post their preferences here — we'll leave that to when the poll comes up.

I've decided that My party is Greyside. Not very creative, I suppose, but it'll do in a pinch.

Aww, Caff... you're bailing out on us? *pouts* I mean, sure I'd like to be admin & stuff. I'm just not in to how this is done. I like the way it was, with Tiana just promoting people as she sees fit. Democracy is great, and I'll leave it to you people.
