could've been worse. Obviously not all of them are perfect or even desirable, but given the candidates, I couldn't have expected a much better result.
The candidates I really objected to will not be appointed.
Going by percentages, the top 5 differentiated themselves, but Vassyana, Jayvb, Carcharoth, and Wizardman were pretty tightly bunched.
Lifebaka received 116 votes, Laniveil 117.
I don't know that Vassyana should be appointed. S/he finished 7th in the %support metric by a mere 0.9% over Carcharoth. In the other 2 measurable metrics (raw support and net support), Vass didn't even finish 8th. S/he was all the way back in 9th in those, while Carch was the clear #7 in both. If this were the BCS (I know, it's not, it's the JWCS), Carch would be the clear choice.
Who knows, I
suggested to Jimbo that maybe appointing an extra arb or two maybe a good idea if the results were close...
