12/11/2015 4:13:28 PM Posted: 2 years ago Aloha, DDO!
Since the election is coming up very soon, I just wanted to take a moment to ask you for your vote. I am not going to talk a lot about policy--if you're interested in that, check out my sig for a link to our platform. Instead, I want to say that DDO is a community that means a lot to me, personally. I have many friends I care about here, and it provides a format for an activity I love. I want to give back to the site, and the Presidency--be it through discussions with moderation, through voting reform, through community organization--is a way I can do that. I, as well as Zaradi and now Saph, have and will invest countless hours of effort into making DDO a better place. We care about the site, and we care about our capacity to make a positive impact. Thank you all for making DDO a great website, and I would greatly appreciate your support in the upcoming election. Thanks! -Bsh1 I'm a Bish. |

Then you guys could corner the market together, and then who knows, maybe you could both go on to conquer the world. JK I like Wylted and it was difficult for me to vote against him, had I not already pledged my vote to you, maybe I would have voted Wylted, although I have noticed you are actively involved in the site and it's members, which is a great contribution. But my overall vote would have been preferred to be , Bsh1/Wylted |

12/14/2015 1:48:49 AM Posted: 2 years ago Given that no more unknown election rules come up for absolutely no reason other than to prefer certain members over others from the moderation's view, what do you actually hope to do that is of literally any worth during your next term that you cannot do as a normal member that is just vested in the community?
