Raethe likes to talk in the third person.  I'm just messing with you. So I think you guys have done a great job over here. Your organized and have willing members. Its cool to see this stuff. Its also cool that they are going to let you elect a MOD. I mean look at you your all grow up. Anyway I know I'm not a member although I would like to be so I voted due to my experience on the boards. Its good to see this election is a little "cleaner" than the last one if you know what I mean.

Monsta, just post in the Email List topic with your email and you're in. No big deal :P

The other election was funny, though. Good times.

EDIT: Whoops, forgot to read the other posts on page one. Two moderators doesn't sound like a bad idea. It would make things more efficient, like Raethe said. I'm not bothered at all if I wasn't a mod, and whoever is chosen will do well.

I think two mods will be good, since this Reading Excuses thing could get very large.

I also agree with the idea of two mods.
"The custom of royalty in referring to oneself is to naturally employ the royal 'we'.  We are very happy, we are very sad, we are bored and suffer from ennui.  For a royal prince there's no such word as 'me', It's always 'we'.  So rightfully I should be two or three, don't you agree?"

Once again, why don't we stick with the "Ride it out and plan after we get an idea" theory? If one mod + Fellfrosh can't manage the group, then we can ask for more as we need them; I'm sure Sprig will be helpful, if only so he doesn't have to do it himself, lol.

I didn't really think Fell was going to be doing much moderating at all. I dunno, it's not like adding two mods for a board would be much more difficult than adding one. It might actually be easier since either way we'd have to track someone down to do it for us if we decided we wanted another mod later.

Again, though... It's hardly life or death. Just going for what seems easiest here.

I vote for both Raethe and Chaos. If nothing else, if things get too tense, we can sit back and watch them mod each other to death.

although I'm tempted by the amusement factor of  an SE monkey winning out over Chaos and Raethe, I had to resist.

Alright, folks. There is a distinct possibility of us taking both as our chosen leaders.

If anyone has any problems with this course of action, tell me now, and your please will be ignored... I mean taken into account.

Please be prompt, as the decision will be made shortly.

Sounds good to me. I'm not exactly sure two moderators are needed just yet, but I think it's a great pre-emptive action that will keep Reading Excuses in relative tranquility. We don't know how hectic things will be once submission time rolls around, so I'm all for this course of action of two moderators. Really, there's no reason not to have two moderators.

It is agreed then.

Chaos is there ever going to be an election on TWG that you don't win? I'm starting to get depressed here. Although I voted for you because I had never seen Raethe before that doesn't mean that I don't want to see you loose. Nothing personal but when you vow to capture someone it doesn't make them want you to be an elected official.

Ahh, democracy at its finest.

Vowing to capture someone? Eh? Sounds like there's a story here I'm missing - do tell. Better yet, write it out and do it as a RE submission. ::)

The PM has been sent. Hopefully over the course of tomorrow, our Mods to be are raised to their new status, and RE shall have it's official leaders.

Updates shall come as the are received.
