these are the candidates this far

Hi ladies & gentlemen...

I'm writing this in order to confirm the following is correct and that you are still interested to run for the admin position. Tomorrow, the 8:th of november 2008, I will resign my duty services as admin for the ladder and the plan is, and has been for a while now, to hand over all ladder administration to you guys and make the ladder ran by itself, it's players. I have announced the elections and nominations way in advance and on KnightKuniberts request I have also extended them to the above date.

Here are the names of the people that are running for admins right now:

TheMasterOfBattle (Germany)
KnightKunibert (Germany)
Pelopidas (USA)
Svek (Sweden)

Nordmann was also nominated but retracted his application due to real life reasons. This leaves us down to 4 candidates, unless I have forgotten anyone, in which case you should remind me quickly & I apologize.

Since my idea was to have 3 different admins, for various reasons, and the amount of candidates exceeds 3 we will announce the elections for the 3 positions tomorrow, unless any of you retracts his nomination, in which case the remaining 3 would be automatically elected without elections.

I'd also like to make one or two clarifications:

1. You all run for admins. Whoever becomes admin can then become judge, or not, it would all depend on how you guys want it to work. It would all be up to you how you hand out the judge positions, if you will use an judges at all, and so on. Personally I'm not comfortable with the ideas of judges for reasons I mention in the FAQ. I do however get the feeling that most don't agree with me and would rather have them. I won't debate the issue here and now, and it will be up to you to do as you wish.

2. This also goes for the ladder in general: As I wrote to Pelopidas in the forum recently the admins will have the power to do whatever they want with the ladder, how it works, and it's rules. You could for example re-write all the rules or lift the recently placed cap I enforced, or whatever you can think of. As I have explained several tilmes you will be the ones running it. My personal hope is that you'll do it wisely and with care, hopefully looking after the interests of the ranked players and it's future , but I won't ever interfere in any case.

Please write me if you are on the list but aren't interested in being admin, and, also feel free to write me if you wish to become a candidate for the positions - you have this day to do so.

With regards,
eyerouge
