I suppose I should update this thread with a note that voting has now closed and the seven winning candidates are Casliber, Risker, Roger Davies, Cool Hand Luke, Rlevse, Jayvdb, and Vassyana, in that order.
How does everyone feel about these results? I'm pretty satisfied with how things turned out. While I only have a definitively positive opinion about one of the seven (CHL), none of the others have given me any particular reason to think they won't perform well, and I'm optimistic that we're going to see a much improved ArbCom.
CHL had my strong support, no huge issues with most the others except to say that Vassyana is apparently a Prem Rawat Kool Aid drinker which is a pretty big negative IMO.<snip>
I had no idea who Casilber, Risker, or Cool Hand Luke was before this election. I'd never heard of them before, so really can't say how I feel about them. Heard of Jayvdb, never interacted with them. As for Rlevse and Vassyana, I know both of them reasonably well (Vassyana even more so). They've both got good heads on their shoulders. I disagree that Vassyana is a "Prem Rawat Kool Aid drinker".
I managed to dig this up and I think that it was more an issue of wanting a pair of fresh eyes rather than "OMG he's biased etc". And if Vass is a prem rawat kool aid drinker....what does that make me? (IMG:
