Congratulations to ShittyKitty and Alkador!
lolwtf? Two elections? Will there be 2 elections ~June 30th as well?
Anyway, I always expected ShittyKitty to be elected, he was a hot favourite for #21 before, so I'm glad he got in this time, he trully deserves it. Well done, Josh :D
I'm shocked about Alkador though, never thought he was a favourite. Alky, I thought you wouldn't be considered, since you only got regularship a few days ago (even though gfox downplayed it's importance in Member elections), but you made it, and you deserve it :)

Hang on, are you serious? I think I heard that Afterburner was Recon's alt before, but what shocks me is that both are Wi/Ht? Members. Surely there's no place on our exclusive list for an alt?
The only real promblem with an alt + regular account in the wi/ht club, is that the member could be using it to get more weight behind their votes during elections, which could be a little unfair. However im not suggesting that, this method is being exercised, im not even sure that there is an alt account in use (speculation), but if there is maby this 'issue' needs to be addressed.
i've been here for a few hours, can i be a regular? :) *looks up at you with adoring eyes*

to be a regular you have to be elected buy the current regulars, who can be found listed on RCVL (RedCircles versus list). There is an election once a month, to be considerd a potential, you must help out users who ask questions, and participate in other threads.
Good Luck

I've been keeping up the experience deposits for three veteran Wi/Ht? members and I've even posted with all three accounts at one time or another (fooled ya). If I didn't the accounts would probably be sitting at level 13 or lower right now. I promised these people a long time ago I'd watch their acconts for them. In the last election only one of the three finally voted and the other two (Afterburner being one of them) haven't voted for a long time. You people and your conspiracy theories kill me. To the all the Wi/Ht? members, now you know why I proposed item "B" during the last election. Anyway, I still have all the e-mails from the election archived so if spancker or gfox want to know who voted for who...

This sounds alot like the FAQ, tutorials arn't needed, as long as new users read the FAQ like they are instructed to.
And for anything that the official FAQ missed out on (which isn't much) Newgrundling made a unofficial FAQ ,which i can't find.... it isn't on the search and im not prepared to search through 100's of pages to find it.

I have to agree. Alkador regularly posted a little story to entertain the other members and that's just fine, but I don't recall a simple story being part of the criteria for becoming a Wi/Ht member. He seems to have bought his way in with favoritism. But honestly, anyone who didn't see it while it was happening had to be blind.
Well, it's not the way democracy works dude, it's everyone's opinion that counts, not only a few's one. You can say whatever you want, but apparently most of the members disagree with you. You could be a politician too you know, your knives are flying pretty low ...

It really is a shame I have to keep repeating this... There were several times that Alkador's position in the RPG Club was in jeopardy, and I kept sticking up for him. Finally, Alkador was given a last chance and it didn't work out. I wasn't going to go back on my word, so I had to vote him out. And as a matter of fact, Alkador did IM me after that happened and told me there were no hard feelings between us, and he understood that I did what I had to do.
I may not have voted in the last couple elections, but people have made good decisions and I've been pleased with the results in said elections. I actually did intend to vote in this election, but I got the email two days after it was sent and by that time the election was already over. Now, this is the first time I have felt that the outcome was not the best decision, and I do believe I have the right to voice that opinion.

Ok, I understand your concern and I too did not expect this coming. If you're curious about this 'bragging' and what not, that was only to Inuzuka-Kiba and as a joke, and it was supposed to mean nothing. I had told RC the night before that I was expecting someone like ramagi or Denvish (I later found out that they didn't want to really become members) instead of me. It was a shock to me and may I repeat that I didn't do any form of sucking up or whatever to become a Wi/Ht? Member. But I am glad you have voiced your concern, at the least, and I assume that is how some other people are feeling.

I don't want to bring the idea of the RPG Club much, as that is the sole reason I came to this place, but I feel I posted the story for my love of story writing. The readers enjoyed it which made me write more. It was not any way to work my way to becoming a Member. I was very very happy to get the Wi/Ht? Regular spot as I felt I had spent a long time working on that and then I suddenly get voted as a Wi/Ht? Member. Please dont' point fingers at me for trying to suck up to anyone, as I haven't done that. I had known the majority of the Regulars and Members for about 2 months and a few others (like you and Recon) prior to coming to the place and that was it. I didn't try to wiggle my way around their thumbs, if that was what you were mentioning. If not, I am sorry for my misunderstandings, I just hope you can understand what angle I am coming from.

BonusStage, I have known _redruM_ way before I even went to Wi/Ht? and I only learnt that he was a member after a few days of posting in the forum. We used to talk once in a while, but I still feel that I am being accused of sucking up to others. If you are ever so curious, I am a person who likes to talk to everyone, including you, if you remember. Anyway, I don't want to be evil sounding, but I feel like I'm being pinned against the wall as of current if you can understand my concern.

Sigh, I will only say this a final time, but the reason I came to Wi/Ht? was to totally forget about anything of RPG and a way of 'moving on' with my NG-life I guess. Now that I got in (don't know how, but it can't be undone) was not because I kissed other people's boots. Recon...I'm a little...well perturbed at the moment, so I might as well send you a nice little e-mail. I haven't sent you one for a few months now.

Nobody cheated there is simply speculation, of the methods Alkador used to gain membership to the wi/ht club. There are no facts about him using 'unfair methods', the whole thing has been blown well out of preportion the past day or so. Im staying well away from this whole situation. I hope that answers any questions you had.

Even if he wrote it wrong, he posted the wisest comment of the whole page. Bonus and redrum, just relax, don't get upset about someone else's nomination, because no matter if you or anyone else would've deserved it better, this club isn't worth people being angry at each other.
I'd be interested to know how many votes people got, not that I'm expecting that information to be released. I really do think that -Mazza- has done more than enough for the Wi/Ht forum to be deserving of membership; I'm constantly impressed with his replies and quick finding of requested movies/games.

Ha ha! Man, I haven't given up completely, but I didn't bother "wasting" a vote on you this last time, because I knew that with your current (in)activity levels around here, very few, if any... other members would be voting for you. Still... if you'd only POST MORE OFTEN AROUND HERE, more people than just myself and X would be voting for you on a regular basis!

Sure.
2 members at once is actually how I LIKE it to be, but many other members like to go with one at a time, so I defer to their judgement. But take a look at this period of time in Wi/Ht? history:
Wi/Ht? #11 . 06/29/02 .. 07/19/03 .. 327836 .. Afterburner
Wi/Ht? #12 . 11/18/02 .. 07/20/03 .. 397797 .. D0GMA
Wi/Ht? #13 . 07/07/02 .. 07/29/03 .. 332379 .. Dobio
Wi/Ht? #14 . 07/27/02 .. 07/30/03 .. 343163 .. Crono-
Wi/Ht? #15 . 09/12/01 .. 08/09/03 .. 214132 .. Mystboy
As you can see:
Afterburner and D0GMA were basically elected within a day of each other.
Then Dobio and Crono- were elected at almost the same time as well.
And Mystboy was added only a week and a half later.
That was the fastest period of expansion this membership has ever ever seen.
Well, which would you rather be if you had the choice?
Would I rather be member #22 or 23? Well, 22. But not because it's earlier, because it's an even number. (see my 36 vs 37 April Fools Thread for more on that).
Now, if it was a choice between #23 and 24?!?! I'd take 24, no second thoughts. Much better number. 23 is prime. 24 is two dozen, the number of hours in a day, etc. etc. Beautiful, just like 36.

Sign-up date would work as a tie-breaker, yeah. So SK would have been it either way, eh? The only other way I can think of to break a tie would be for the election-runner to cast an "extra vote" in one way or the other to decide who gets the earlier number. Or to ask spancker (assuming he can be reached and even KNOWS the two people who tied O_O). Nah, you're right... sign-up date is much better. ID#, specifically (in case they signed up on the same day #;-}>).
Just for future reference, the earlier signup/ID# method will thus be used by myself as WELL as by Recon in all future elections run by us, peoples, so take note. This is, of course, assuming we ever have 2-at-once elections again. I haven't decided what to do on my b-day. Either #24 will be elected or #24 AND #25 will be. Let's not bother speculating in here, though, unless members have actual constructive opinions either direction.

Whatever, man. Not a huge deal.
Are you saying that you're a slacker? Hardly.
I'm saying that as an overall group, Wi/Ht? has been reluctant to push for rapid or constant elections in the past, with the exception of a few time periods (like the one I pasted to Tom up there).

Alt-accounts on NG have nothing to do with the votes, though, because the votes are done by e-mail. And unless someone has spent YEARS carefully crafting an alternate persona on NG, and managed to get elected into the Wi/Ht? TWICE with different "personalities".... how on earth would that happen? Unless a member is giving out their E-MAIL PASSWORD, how the hell could the E-MAIL VOTING be affected? See what I'm saying here?

Okay, guys.... I don't think it's very fair to Alkador (or most any other Wi/Ht? inductees or hopefuls, for that matter) to compare him to ShittyKitty in terms of how much they DESERVE being elected into this membership.
How many people have started up and run an insanely large and useful NG Total Listing, eh?
One.
So everyone's going to pale in comparison to SK in that respect, eh? But this membership isn't supposed to be about listmakery. I might point out that spancker asked me to join before I even started posting the top 50 saves list here. SK was elected because A) people around here like him, B) he's already one of us, C) he's well-informed and shares that info with others, D) while he can be a bit... touchy when it comes to noobs re-answering a topic, he's often IN those other topics chiming in and being helpful as well. E) yes, he ran the NGTL, and many many months have gone by in which he probably deserved to be elected in already but there were no elections going on. F) he created the NG Lister, which helped many Wi/Ht? members (myself, jon, Dogma, RC) with our listmakery, and we are thankful to him.
Enough reasons, eh?
Now, as to Alkador... look, I'm going to say this once: I voted for ShittyKitty and EKRegulus because I thought they were the most deserving people to elect and I thought they'd both make great Wi/Ht? members and yadda yadda yadda. It didn't occur to me THIS time to vote for Alkador, but when I saw that he'd been elected I wasn't upset or annoyed or anything else like that... clearly, more members who voted in the election felt he deserved to be elected than anyone else they cared to think of voting for... with the exception of ShittyKitty.
Now, perhaps Alkador's fanfic-posting in level up! helped keep him in their minds when they were trying to think of someone besides SK to vote for, and perhaps he has sucked up to people, and yadda yadda yadda, but I would hope that most of us Wi/Ht?ers would treat election into this membership a bit more seriously (though not TOO seriously, no, lightning #;-}>) than a lame talent show or attention-whorey popularity contest.
So... yeah. He's been elected. If you don't think he deserves to be in and you're not a member: I'm sorry, but that's the way it is. If you don't think he deserves to be in and you ARE a member: I'm sorry, but more people who voted disagreed with you than agreed. I don't know what to tell you other than: next time an election is coming around, if there's someone you REALLY couldn't stand to see elected... you'd better start campaigning AGAINST them well in advance of the election if you really want to stop people from voting for them. And even that might not work.
Oh, and I could remind you all that some people weren't exactly overjoyed with the addition of Dobio to this membership, and that he hardly ever hangs out on Wi/Ht? at all, and really didn't hang out here all that much BEFORE he was elected, either, but that no one ever makes a huge deal out of that anymore. Can't we all just relax and realise that "what it takes" to be elected into Wi/Ht? has changed over the years and that it's not a perfect science? Christ. Just swallow your disapproval, congratulate Alkador, and try to help him become a more helpful and useful member around here if you think the lack of that is what makes him a not-very-deserving inductee.

Are you referring to Wi/Ht? or to the RPG club by "this group"?

That would be interesting to know, yes, though not exactly essential.

Bullshit. How on earth would even a CORRECT guess of how many people voted in this election tell him how many voted for Alkador specifically, eh? If anything, it would tell him how many voted for SK, since I think just about everyone (if not ACTUALLY everyone) voted for SK.

I really do think that -Mazza- has done more than enough for the Wi/Ht forum to be deserving of membership; I'm constantly impressed with his replies and quick finding of requested movies/games.
Well, I hate to be an obvious-pointer-outer, but if you really would like to know the vote results details... and you'd really like to be able to help people like Mazza get in... then you COULD simply allow us to vote you into our august organisation. #;-}> Seriously, man, if you do decide to change your mind about wanting to remain a freelance Wi/Ht?er, let me know prior to the election in late June, okay?
