Lith from what see you have pretty good chances either way. I'm sorry for not throwing in my full support behind you, but I've never really cared much for all of this admin stuff. Maybe I should, but I don't.

And even if we get a new admin, and even if it is Lith/Cooba/space, there will be some candidates who won't get a shot at it. It's a zero sum game. And the way I see it, it's not even a "game" where the end goal is some grand revolution or upheaval of the current system. Sure Toni has talked about a new ladder system being implemented (opponent quality), but at the end of the day the ladder will still mainly be about activity. It's not like the football leagues where you are forced to play every week.

Which might not be a bad idea actually, because I hate how you can just say no to a clanwar unless you occupy the 1st spot on the ladder. NF didn't have to accept the challenge from Yastogs, they accepted it cuz they're nice guys. But I digress.

Now although it might seem that there is public support for a new official and although I really wouldn't mind seeing a new admin (hell we might actually get one), it is up to the current board to decide. And no I'm not sure whether it's the JJ or the jj board.

Oh and on a sidenote: when you guys say there are only 3 CCers you forget DZ only left CC cuz Grytolle allowed it and Viv is actually part of the strategy CC division as well So there is a lot of you guys there.

But I think that isn't all that relevant, seeing as how you've never really abused your powers all that much. The occasional kick will always happen I guess (although that little ladder incident with tad and danika was sort of weird, yet supposedly no admin powers were used, nvm, water under the bridge).

If we postulate that a new admin is needed then we have to look at the 3 loudest candidates (yes it's all about being loud):
1. Lithium, who has always wanted it, but was usually in a clan that wasn't viewed upon too favourably by the rest of the community, but who is, by all standards a perfectly good candidate. Probably has the popular vote. He could also play the clan card, seeing as how this might be all viewed as an extension of clan politics. JJ2WC as opposed to the ladder boasted officials from all clans, not because of merit, but because of recipocity.Let's face it, merit has very little to do here. Yet even if we look at what an admin should be like, one can't find too many faults with Ron. Watch your comments though, he wanted to ban DL just cuz she was mentioning dupe a whole lot.
Female dupe ftw btw

2. Cooba, who has the experience, and who has always felt a bit left out by the jjnet establishment. Here is the chance to make ammends and jjnet-ers might like the idea of uniting the two communities where they get to still keep the upper hand as it was they who "promoted" cooba to his newfound status. Appealing also because of his experience. Popular vote very much against him, as he isn't from an active clan.

3.Spaceboy. Well he is impulsive and strongheaded. That is both his strength and weakness. The admins might not view it so much as a strength, although maybe they should. He is most definitely a guy who gets the job done. And let's face it, he has grown to be more mature through the years and lately only Kenny trully pisses him off. I think he lacks popular support and I'm pretty sure the admins don't want him in their midst. BRFH also doesn't (yet) represent a strong "political" backing to his cause. Unlike cooba he is an active player though. But unlike both of the above, he mainly just plays during the weekends. Although I personally wouldn't mind at all if rep were an admin, I think his chances are pretty low. Flaming DZ won't help I think Sorry rep, I know I'm not acting like a friend, but I don't think you'll be the new admin.

4. Enigma. He is from NF, and seeing as how my view is that this is just clan bickering, he doesn't stand a chance in hell to get elected. People basically want another clan up there. If we take rep's decision to allow each clan to be represented in his jj2wc team as a good decision, then picking enigma is a poor PR decision from the board. In fact this is basically an issue of trust. That's why people want "their own" to be at the "epicenter". Nobody wants to be left out.
But if you look at all the other credentials Enigma is definitely a top choice. But like I said, maybe this isn't so much about the personality as it is about trust. Kind of like the monetary system, without trust, this system loses all its value and power. Unlike the monetary system here you have DZ with real servers he can shut down at any time, so the analogy only goes so far.
Plus, knowing Enigma, he's not really looking for a promotion And that is probably his biggest drawback

The 1st two candidates are a close call in my opinion (or I might be wrong), but the other two aren't in contention IMO. Again, depends on how you understand the game that is being played. I'm pretty cynical myself

Realpolitik and Henry Kissinger ftw

Well ok, not really, sexy dupe trump Kissinger any day of the week.


And why is the word sex censored on jjnet, I ask you!?!? Whoever promises to uncensor it gets my vote. I want to say GJ sexies when my polish beauties, or the sexy Ana pwn in ladders!!!!
