Congratulations, Ajiellyn: New Moderator of Fan Corner

Splat · #1 01-19-2009, 05:19 PM

Ajiellyn has been elected FC mod following Havoc's decision to resign a few weeks ago.

Congratulations, Aji! I'm sure your passion for Oddworld will be a great asset to the mod-team and to Fan Corner, and also thanks and consolations to all the other nominees in the election.

Anyway, you may now shower Aji with praise and adoration.

Hobo · #2 01-19-2009, 05:22 PM

Welcome to the Zulag Two team! Enjoy being my minion!

***Nate*** · #3 01-19-2009, 05:23 PM

Huzzah! Congrats be to Aji!

Welcome to the team. The ritual hazing will occur at the peak of Mount Wannahockaloogie at 2200 hours.

***Wil*** · #4 01-19-2009, 05:24 PM

;glares at Splat.
I am ever so pleased to announce that the voting held in Fan Corner has resulted in Ajiellyn being elected its newest moderator. Many hearty congratulations to you, Aji! Like the other admins, I can’t say I venture into FC much, but from your sterling, dedicated work on the Oddworld MMOSG and Fanfic Library alone I know that you are exactly the right person for the position.

Please welcome our new member of staff!

Congrats again, Aji! May your reign be golden and glorious!

F everyone’s I, Splat asked an admin to make a thread, then posted his own while I was writing, then I merged.

Woo! Grats to ya!

Strike Witch · #7 01-19-2009, 09:06 PM

...Who?

congrats anyway.

Anonyman! · #8 01-19-2009, 10:14 PM

I never go there anyway. Have fun, though.

Jordan · #9 01-19-2009, 11:25 PM

Grats, you earned it.

Havoc · #10 01-20-2009, 02:02 AM

Congrats! Have a good time keeping all those bastards in check

Ajiellyn · #11 01-20-2009, 02:29 AM

Thank you all so much! This really means a lot to me and I promise to put my all into it and do the best I can.

I want to give a big thanks to everyone who voted for me; I was at first really doubting I would get anywhere in this as I tend to post almost exclusively in the FC (and I don't think I'm well-known elsewhere... to quote Ghost, "Who?"

) This is obvious, but, without you voters this would not be possible!

To me, fan works are our way of breathing life into a series even when it is quiet. The FC is really where I belong and I look forward to continuing my work there and watching the other artists of all sorts continue theirs.

Is Aji the member with the lowest post count ever to take office? I just noticed how low it is.

***Alcar*** · #13 01-20-2009, 04:45 AM

Welcome to the Moderator team Ajiellyn! I still have to refer elsewhere to spell your username correctly

:

Is Aji the member with the lowest post count ever to take office? I just noticed how low it is.

Out of 202 posts (current, visible, and physical), 92 of those were posted in Fan Corner and/or Non-Oddworld Art & Literature; a staggering 45.54%.

Alcar...

***Wil*** · #14 01-20-2009, 04:56 AM

Well that’s reassuring given her position, but doesn’t answer my question.

***Alcar*** · #15 01-20-2009, 05:01 AM

She is. I believe the next in line was Pilot, who hovered around 300 posts when taking office.

Alcar...

***Wil*** · #16 01-20-2009, 05:02 AM

Give me database access and I’ll work it out exactly.

***Alcar*** · #17 01-20-2009, 05:19 AM

Sure thing! The username is: oddforums; and the password is: gig@nt1cvvhal3s.

In the mean time, I took the liberty of calculating it myself. Using 13-11-2001 11:58 PM +1100 as the date and time that Pilot was officially crowned the Spoiler Forum Moderator, he had at that time 145 posts (current, visible, and physical). Meaning, he holds the record for lowest post count while taking office.

You just missed out Ajiellyn!

Alcar...

Soz, I had a brainfart and had to go look you up. >.>

Oddey · #19 01-20-2009, 05:39 AM

Congratulations Aji! Even though I had hoped for Carnix, I think you'll fill the position just fine.

Exactly what I was thinking!

I tip my hat to you, Ajiellyn for surly a person who created an Oddworld MMOGS deserves some kind of reward

Wings of Fire · #23 01-20-2009, 08:03 AM

There are exactly the same number of mods today than there was yesterday and one less than there was a year ago?

Carnix · #24 01-20-2009, 08:11 AM

If i decide to finish my Oddworld MMORPG do i get anything?

Aji I can congratulate you without bitterness and wish you well with your modlyness (lol - spell check tried to change that to moldiness).
I'm happy just sitting pretty with Alcar and Havoc's votes.

I very almost wished you a slow and painful death...

Munch's Master · #25 01-20-2009, 08:30 AM

Well done Aji! No disrespect to the other candidates but IMO, you deserved it most and I think you'd be best at the job. Good luck at the job!

Splat · #26 01-20-2009, 09:37 AM

Random elections stats!!!

Each vote was worth the number of posts in FC that the voter had made over the last year.
So, Mudling has posted 105 times in FC over the last year, so his vote was worth 105 posts to the person he voted for.
My intention in doing this was to fairly pick a moderator who most represented the choices of FC's frequent posters. The more you post in FC, the more you influenced the votes.
So...

In first place came Ajiellyn. She received...
9 votes.
1204 points.

In second place came Carnix. He received...
7 votes.
530 points.

In third place came Moosh Da Outlaw. She received...
1 vote.
260 points.

In fourth place came Wings of Fire. He received...
6 votes.
168 points.

Top five most powerful voters:
Oddey (369 for Carnix)
GlacierDragon (313 for Ajiellyn)
Moosh Da Outlaw (268 for Ajiellyn)
Carnix (260 for Moosh Da Outlaw)
Abe is Now! (185 for Ajiellyn)

Bottom five weakest voters:
Alcar (16 for Carnix)
Mox Co. Executive (12 for Wings of Fire)
OANST (7 for Used:))
Hobo (7 for Wings of Fire)
Killy (2 for Wings of Fire)

Carnix · #27 01-20-2009, 09:41 AM

Lol - my 1 vote cancelled out WoF's "winning streak"!

shaman · #28 01-20-2009, 12:18 PM

congratz Aji.

Enjoy the mysteries of the employee lounge... and don't forget us norms out here m'kay?

OANST · #29 01-20-2009, 12:58 PM

Welcome to the fraternity. For some reason, even though I'm a mod I sometimes have a difficult time accessing the Employee Lounge. I will rely on you to keep me informed of goings on. Congrats, again!

grins and wrings hands

Do democratically elected (and genuinely required) moderators have intrinsically more value than those who got their position via cronyism and/or impressment?
