Director Election

Our current director is retiring, so we have.... *drumroll* a Director Election!


Director Election

It's that time of the year again, the Director Election!

What is This?

  • This is an election to decide the new director of The 'Shroom. Naturally, the one with the most votes wins the title.
  • If a director retires, then an election is held again in the latest issue of The 'Shroom.
  • An election takes place every December Issue regardless whether an election has already been held that year.
  • The current director may run in elections if they wish.
  • This election will start December 20nd.
  • In the January issue (18:00 Jan. 19), the winner will be announced, and they will have at most a week to announce their Core Staff in the comments section at the bottom of the page, as well as their calendar.
  • There will be a debate between the candidates, please also state when you can participate in the debate in order to get this to work.
  • You must submit your campaign at least a week ({{{2}}}) before the release of the January issue, or else it will be considered invalid and removed by the Core Staff!
It is currently 02:35, November 18th (EST/EDT)

This election ends {{{3}}} (EST/EDT)
Candidate Rules
  • Anyone may run for director during any time of the election (except in Overtime), but they must have a forum account.
  • A user may only run for themselves, another user cannot nominate them.
  • All candidates must say what changes will they make. They can also campaign to promote voting for them.
    • Campaigns must use acceptable grammar (judgment is given to the Core Staff).
    • Campaigns must be original. Nobody is allowed to steal another candidate's ideas. However, if campaigns, for the most part, differ from each other or have key elements to which the candidates disagree on, then sharing a few ideas here and there is allowed.
    • No joke campaigns are allowed to be ran.
    • No bribing voters is allowed.
  • Candidates can also hold debates among them in the comments section at the bottom of the page.
  • This is what a voting section should look like:
===Candidate===
What will you do, etc.
 #'''X'''
 #'''X'''
 #'''X'''

So as you can see, that candidate has three votes.

Voter Rules
  • Voters may vote with their username, no signatures allowed, or they opt to list themselves as X ('''X''') in order for their vote to not be immediately identifiable– note that people may see who voted in such a manner in the page editing history.
  • Anonymous editors (who do not sign in to edit) are not allowed to cast votes. If you have an account and are simply logged out, please sign in to your account. If you want to vote and you do not have an account, simply create one, sign in, and vote!
  • Voters may only cast one vote.
  • Voters may change their vote at any time while the election is in progress.
Ties
  • In the case of a tie, the Core Staff will establish a runoff election for another week between the tying candidates. Ties beyond that will be handled if they come up by a process decided by the Core Staff.
Duties of the Director

This is what you must do if you win, so read carefully.

  • The director must accept or decline all new writers' ideas for sections they want to write.
  • The director assigns a section to users who want to write, but don't know what to write.
  • The director gives out a warning to users who have not yet sent in their sections one week before The 'Shroom is due.
  • The director puts The 'Shroom together, and edits the front page, the single page, the 'Shroombox template, and the Shroom Issue template.
  • The director writes the Director's Notes section, which comments about the month's issue.
  • The director includes the due date of the next 'Shroom in the Director's Notes, and in the Shroomwarning template.
  • The director gets to choose their Core Staff, this is: Fake News, Fun Stuff, Music & Art, Pipe Plaza, Critic Corner directors and Sub-Director.
  • The director must send applications to users who want to become writers.

Looks easy? It is not. So get ready.

Now get out there and go!

Comments

I have to truthfully say, I didn't expect so many support votes. O_O — Stooben Rooben 17:40, 21 December 2008 (EST)
thats rite. Super-YoshiMust...eat...sig...Talk? C???
Wow 32 people voted for St00by! He's in the lead. GrapesGrapes Grapes

Stooben will phail like the others, but... McWolf

How wonderfully optimistic! Thanks so much for your helpful views! :\ I believe in you, Stooby. BLOC PARTIER.
Wow, MCDimentio being a trolling moron. Surprise? --Blitzwing 13:04, 22 December 2008 (EST)
It's comments like that that'll make it even more certain that I'll do my best, just to prove him wrong. — Stooben Rooben 23:36, 23 December 2008 (EST)
McDimentio? Don't you mean Mc Wolf? GrapesGrapes Grapes
He got a name change. BLOC PARTIER.
Oh. GrapesGrapes Grapes

I feel that Stoob really does deserve to be Director, but if he is only going to be on 1 hr. a day, will he be able to do his work on time? MisterJaffffeyPeteyPiranhaBanana.gif G0 Issue XXII/Director Election

yah come on hes st00by he can do anything :O Super-YoshiMust...eat...sig...Talk? C???

=D Lol. GrapesGrapes Grapes

Yeah, although I feel sorry for the other competitors being up against the most popular User on the entire Wiki... I really want Stooben in charge. (He payed me to vote for him.) th_DimentioSigLeft.png Dom »» McTalk th_SMKDimentiobyStooben.png

Jaffffey: I've rearranged my schedule quite a bit, so I should actually be on for around 3 hours a day, which is more than enough time to get things situated. :D S-Y: lol Dom: I actually feel some guilt about that too. While I have the feeling that some of my support votes may be "fan votes" (for lack of a better term), I feel more than confident that I won't let any of my supporters down. — Stooben Rooben 21:50, 3 January 2009 (EST)
