Nth Andante
This is the most suited player for the type of tournament this is.
(I know, i already participated in it previously. As an representative of the Everybody Edits forums)Norwe is spontaneous, has a stream-of-consciouness posting style, usually posts on catch-ups by commenting on past pages posts, gets rather fired up in certain moments in games, is relatively as playful as me in games and likes casual shitposting

for all the fuss that was made when I was willing to do the work to help facilitate nominations, and now that we have about 3 weeks left to finalize a representative and a backup, it is a bit weird that no one actually has stepped up yet to do this.
Atp I'm just assuming its going to be the person with the most nths because there's no real system and only realistically 2-3 people have expressed a willingness to play.retired

I will say part of the reason we wanted to be more hands off as mods is that we wanted to leave open the possibility that the site doesn't have a sufficient level of interest to compete. If the process goes off as desired, that's great. But "actually, we as a community don't really have any great interest in seeing this through" (either explicitly stated or implicitly through inaction) is also a perfectly acceptable result of this process. It is ultimately what the community feels is best for the community.
I say this only because I don't want users to feel pressure that they MUST choose someone now that the process has begun, not to discourage picking someone if interest exists.Official Gimmick List:

I'm going to remove my nominations in general, because it is looking as of this moment like Liar's Club is without a nominee so I'll be stepping up for that community again.
In the interest of transparency, I'm saying it here and seeking to not be involved in conversation about choices going forward.

Guess I'll kick my nomination to cat.
Assuming that it's really just a two horse race at this point, cat is both one of the best players onsite and has plenty of experience with the shorter deadlines.
I'm obviously biased on that front, but I can more objectively say something that might not be immediately obvious: cat isn't the most outspokenly enthusiastic, but his passion for mafia runs incredibly deep.-

Just a note, Catboi is up for vote for Epicmafia community right now out of 4 people, so there is a chance they end up having to rescind their nom here.retired

I also am legitimately baffled by the administration's approach to this.
If your goal is to just let the site slowly die, player numbers tank, and let the queues hang on the edge of the precipice of no return, this is a stellar job.
It is incredible to me that the site's own administration doesn't believe in rallying up any sort of spirit, representation, advertisement, etc. Zero attempts to galvanize the community, and they let what remaining beacons/rallying points passively fall into a permenant state of disrepair.
You have players eager to represent the site without clear behavioral redflags. At least get out of the way and let them do it.-

Catboi and Andante got an overwhelming number of noms. ND39 got exactly two, I'm not sure if anyone else did.
Can do a simple ranked choice voting, probably IRV style elimination. 1-2-3, no commentary or teardown needed. Build a candidate up if you want to.
Have the candidates confirm interest, give a deadline of like the 16th to give us some leeway and let the mods have a veto for behavioral concerns.
Mods refuse to serve as an objective, authoratative leviathan in the one place they should be and are kicking the can to a group that is obviously never going to be completely unanimous.
At some point we just need something to work, and I think this does. If I get enough agreements/people are fine with the deadline suggestion and IRV voting I can just start it within the next day or two. If people are worried about me specifically posting deadlines whine at the mods to post a countdown and maybe they'll actually put a minimum amount of effort in.Last edited by Prism on Sun Apr 03, 2022 2:01 pm, edited 2 times in total.-

tl;dr of my suggestion:
Three candidates: catboi, Andante, ND39. Public ranked voting, simple 1-2-3 with names, that works like this:
Deadline of April 16th, midnight EST. Start the vote April 4th or 5th if there's something resembling consensus, even if not unanimous. First place goes second place gets backup.
Avoid player teardowns/criticism, building up/complimenting players OKLast edited by Prism on Sun Apr 03, 2022 2:00 pm, edited 2 times in total.-

As a sign of good faith all of those people I normally refuse to get within 10 ft of-Gamma, Koba, etc.-it's open season, feel free to yes/no, insult my parents, burn down my house, etc.
Just completely sick of "Let the community decide" while refusing to set up even the most basic structure to allow for it.
