Admin Elections (edited)

[Tiana, eh?]

Hi, all. Guess what? I've been computer-grounded. I may or may not be able to get online, and probably not regularly at all. Doom and stuff. *shrugs* This, of course, effectively disables the only active administration until I get my PC time back... just so the universe knows, this sentence is an edit. I won't be completely dead. I'll be reading through a few threads. Probably not posting. If anything that absolutely needs me happens, Jandalf can PM me. I'm here still. I'm STILL ALIVE! There. That's said. I'm sorry if I sounded a bit doomy in the original post of this. It's not so bad as it sounds. Just I won't be posting. Keep up with everything and listen to Jandalf. I'll STILL BE AROUND! I must emphasize that. I just WON'T BE POSTING!!

I'm not stopping being the admin. I'm just stepping down until I have my real-life under control. [/edit]

Jandalf, I'm going to email you with further instructions.

But. For now.

The followings are the agreed candates for admins:

Joan
Mekka
Caffeinerush (stepped out)
Duncariel

Two of them will be elected as Admins Six and Seven. The other two will get a power bump.

Now, this thread isn't for voting. It's just to let everyone know. Jandalf will be handling this (she'd better; I can't. Any internet time I get will be slim to none, and probably not spent online...) Don't post your vote, a poll will be made later.

However... the nominatees now have the option in this thread.

You may withdraw. (please don't, we don't want wins by forfet)

Or you may post the following.

Your Party name, and your campaign speech and stuff.

Have fun with this, but try to have the next two admins selected and set up by the end of the month, please! MEI can't run without admins for that long...

Yup. That's all for now. I turn the board over to Jandalf in my absence, and Padme if she ever returns. That's all. My RPG characters will go into comas. Live with it. Consider Luke meditating, and Taania asleep. Any aliases... well... (shrugs helplessly)

Bai!

EDIT 2:

As CR won't be an admin due to his stepping out, we need a new candadate so it's four people in. Er... any suggestions? At all? (panicks) We need the two extra admins!! (runs to check the members list)

EDIT 3: I nominate Cy Skywalker to run as admin. Someone PM her and see if she's okay with it. Kk? If she won't... er... phone me, Master.

[Jandalf on Toast]

All righty, everyone. I am muchly saddened by this announcement... and in our head admin's absence, I'll try to make things as clear and smooth as possible.

From now until an indefinite point in time, all private messages having anything to do with administration etc. go to me. We don't want to flood Tiana's inbox with stuff she won't have time to reply to, so it's in your best interests as well as hers to redirect your comments/concerns/so forth to yours truly.

I'll see if I can't start off this admin election tonight so that we can get things rolling. I'm going to put it in the General board...under a sub-board especially for the purpose, methinks, for the sake of organisation and not getting it mixed up with all the other things. We'll leave all the election business there. This announcement will be locked, and I think perhaps it'll stay up until we have our two new admins.

Also: there were ideas floating around about starting up a fantasy based RPG, but unfortunately the creation of that is going to be postponed for a little while. If all goes well, I'll be able to open it up sometime after the election deal is all finished with.

All that said. I'm going to encourage ye members to keep regularly visiting AND posting on ME:I. This forum can't run without admins, but without members as well, it wouldn't be what it is today. You are a very necessary part of this community, and I do hope you know that. Let's keep things going so Tiana may know her efforts in starting this forum up weren't in vain, eh? I know she would want the Insanity of Middle Earth to continue on. And no, this is not a eulogy...she lives! A little more elsewhere at the moment, perhaps, but I'll do what I can to keep in contact with her and all that.

May the Plot be with you!
