Well folks, looks like its election season again. Up for grabs are 11 ArbCom seats (9 two-year terms and two one-year terms vacated by Fritpoll and Vanished 6551232), unless our Dear F(l)ounder changes things to get his favourites on Arbcom.
At this point, NewYorkBrad and SirFozzie are pursuing re-election. The terms of FayssalF, Shell Kinney and Carcharoth are also expiring, but no word yet on what they'll do.
A few non-arbs have declared their candidacy: PhilKnight, Harej, and Chase me Ladies, I'm the Cavalry.
Its very early in the game, but any thoughts on this year's horse race?

It would be the troll of the century. I'm sure I'm ineligible; they have been progressively upping the edit count requirements to run and to vote so as to exclude trolls like me from consideration. Several people were very upset that I voted last year. It requires 1,000 lifetime edits to articlespace, and that you be over 18. You appear to be eligible to run. Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing it happen.

That's too bad, it would be fun to see. There aren't expected to be very many candidates this year, so you might even win! No way Jimbo would ever appoint you, but it would expose his hypocracy.

Oi I thought you disapproved of destroying Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...oldid=305729709 . And what are you doing in this nest of trolls anyway? I *do* disapprove of destroying Wikipedia. Sometimes a shock to the system can be theraputic, though. Yes, trolls come here, but so do other people. It is a place to discuss Wikipedia, and here I can say things that I can't say on-wiki.

I'm considering running if there aren't many candidates. I imagine another dozen editors are considering the same.

Sounds like Peter Damian has his answer.

Sounds like Peter Damian has his answer. Nah, I'm not here for the WR vote or anything. In fact, if I really, really want to be elected I should be staying as far away from this place as possible. If there aren't enough viable candidates, I may throw my hat in the ring for the hell of it. I'm not going to hit the campaign trail, though. If I don't win, its not a big deal.

Why do you think posting on WR would reduce your chances of being elected? iirc I didn't post on WR before or during the election in 2008 as I didn't want to be seen to be canvassing for additional support from this motley crew.

QUOTE(Doc glasgow @ Thu 18th November 2010, 5:58pm) I'm considering standing, but as I don't have so much time, I'd be applying for a job-share post. Now, all I need is a co-nominee. I asked Giano, but he's not biting.
Sure. All you need is 15 minutes a week and a set of D&D dice, right?
