I don't think anyone thinks Airmax's presidency was great.

I genuinely don't know. Supadudz is in charge this time it seems but whiteflame is definitely an authority though it seems all the mods are chilling for today at least to me.

I am curious if there is some kind of psychological difference between those that initialise my username as RMM and read it that way vs those that take it as RM (madman being one word).
I can guess a couple difference in how the brain breaks issues down and handles new problems vs old ones but I wonder if there's more subtle ones.
Over time I have noticed that people who refer to me as RMM tend to at the very least be highly extraverted and analytical at once (a rare combination).

@Sir.Lancelot
to run you'd need to ask to delete the 'vote for RM' thread or actually it won't matter as it seems they aren't enforcing that (at least close this thread by mod assistance) and have 1 thread (not 3, like Wylted) about your presidency, what you offer and all of that.
The rule is 1 thread about your presidency, period. Others are allowed to make their own threads if they support another though.

That's how he works, he makes you thinks it's all jokes and stuff until you realise he's deadly serious.
Wylted is never as friendly and jokey as you think, trust me on that much. He's a very sinister mastermind type of guy who appears artificially chaotic, in ways he's the inverse of what my username is. I guess it depends how you interpret it though, maybe he is the 'rational madman'.

@PREZ-HILTON
You were never transparent about your intentions to run against me when pretending to support me, not this election nor the one before. That said, I do not mind this being removed. It definitely is not bannable, I would accept a warning only and as president you just supported tyranny for a slight thing. We can both see it is not doxxing.
This is actually an excellent example of which of us is actually for freedom and fairness.

Hope you enjoy your festive fun. Depending on where you are in the world and how you celebrate it (many Europeans celebrate it at the evening of the eve) may it be enjoyable and the food be plentiful. If you're very poor and the food is barely available, that is a great shame.
If you don't celebrate it, that's cool but I don't get this BS 'offense'. Nobody would dare go to Middle East and say 'call your Eid celebrations 'X mubarak' nor would Ramadan ever be renamed 'unislamic fasting'.
Christmas was jacked from Scandinavian Paganism and turned into a Christian festival, enjoy it and if you don't celebrate it either enjoy your excuse for family time this late December or get hyped for New Year's or treat it as any other last week of a month and try to make the most of it.

Does diplomatic mean being fake nice and outright lying if I suspect someone of malicious intent? Just curious.
If the use of the word 'shit' was the issue, I can talk cleaner. I am genuinely asking how I seemed to break those 3 standards.

Nobody was with me through the shit, nobody will be there with me after it. :)
I know how to spot a real friend or not, on here I have none for now. That's okay, from what I see this isn't about that level of friendship and I happen to tend to befriend people who chill out in the background anyway, it's why they like what a lively person I am so those that like me tend to sit back and trust I'll handle my own shit.
The role is solo, no team is happening. If you want to work with me, you're welcome to, after I win but you get no official anything. You can keep pretending I'm being defensive and paranoid, I see exactly what you're doing here.
You never ever asked airmax these types of questions and tried to twist everything he said, never once. This isn't fair grilling or some intrigue to vote for me. I see through you Wylted and am done answering anything other than direct questions from you, cheers.

@PREZ-HILTON
I didn't soften anything. The team last time were some rapidly shifting thing from David and Barney who had completely fucked me over personally and who I came to realise had no idea what they were doing and strongly needed guiding a lot.
Whiteflame has impressed me over the last year. He is actually a much better mod than I thought, I don't think he's a natural leader at all which makes what he's pulled off even more amazing. It's a natural team-playing follower thrusted into a leadership position who hasn't fucked up even once overall.
I am giving credit where it is due, I agree with almost all of his calls, his voting is terrible and overrated but his calls on votes in terms of moderation are pretty reasonable even when/if I've disagreed with his call.

@PREZ-HILTON
That depends on the person. It also depends who I am up against. Currently we have a series of people either too inactive or too spineless to say they're running that are only going to opportunistically run later if they feel like it even though if you run you can drop out anyway (proving it's a spineless move, not a noble one since they aren't forced to stay running if they do).
I am the only one who since the start of the 18th EST (I assume it was from EST time) to now, has run clearly, open to feedback, criticism and all sorts.
I am also familiar with your carpet-pulling tactics, you can keep asking your questions intended to screw me over with what I answer, this time it will absolutely not work.
Created:

@PREZ-HILTON
I can work with all of those people but airmax is not really an okay thing with me, na.
If airmax became mod I'd be willing to step down, I resent him as a person and think he's a corrupt, manipulative two-faced guy I can never trust.
Supadudz I disagree with but he's very honest and straightforward, Mike and I have no issues, he's just got lazier with the website for the past year (and a half actually).

@ILikePie5
You have a toxic playstyle in terms of how I experience you and I have a playstyle that apparently pisses many off, even those I hypercarry.
That is a mafia games matter and I can agree I don't fit in there at all anymore, it's still an area I'll take interest in and in fact you are not only a skilled player (relative to the norm there, you are definitely above average) but you are also a regular and passionate one. So, I am pretty sure there is going to be 0 friction between us on any matter there.
You can believe what you want, I don't like you but when I have to, I will unblock and work with you to any degree. You don't get that as you have a fundamental belief that all the other stuff is a mask I wear and only the raging me is the real me when really all are different elements/sides of the real me.
I am not interested in proving anything, I know for sure I won't have your vote and you also know you won't have mine. We don't like each other, me forcing even slightly here is pointless. You aren't the same as Athias, you are someone akin to a select few who genuinely dislike my vibe and who I am as a member here (Athias is similar but more so is convinced there is a better agenda to support, namely 3RU7AL's though I don't doubt he'll vote you over me if that member doesn't run). I don't really care about it because I realise you won't budge.
As in, I could spend years reformed and you'd still believe I'm a scumbag deep down, the reason is also why I dislike you and why we won't get along. You are a very rigid thinker and experiencer of life where I'm a very fluid, lax-structured one. We will not see eye to eye on this, I am sure of that. It actually leaks into so many other issues where we clash, even in IRL politics.

Plan? Surely it depends on user amount and interest.
Debate tournaments of varying structures will be tried out. I gain nothing revealing them nor will i pretend there even is a secret grand scheme.
I guarantee you they will not all be as simple as loser is knocked out permanently. ;)
Some may, for simplicity. The idea is to make them so fun they can be simultaneously and still keep interest, a side leaderboard of sorts, special awards for voters inside the tournament for quality ofvotes etc.
The website does not reward us enough short-term and many human brains need those tiny rewards, I dont just means those medal things here, I mean real pat-on-the-back type recognition.
We will also host events to do with images etc and I for one can choose best avatar etc if needed, solo.
I can hardcarry the entire year of entertaonment if need be minus certain months for irl shit but even then I can pasively host to a decent degree.
This is a hobby for me, not just a waste of time, no matter how dead it appears to others. That is what makes me unique vs most and why I do not care if I lose this either as I know I can still co tribute and enjoy regardless, just less so in terms of official anything.
If I give my all to the events even if I lose that defeats the purpose of the office and what choosing an entertainer means.
Until they separate the roles, I am not gonna be head site even host without being president. I also do want that foot in to prove objectively I can reason with and handle the mod stuff behind the scenes, I have a lot of wisdom they have on and off relied on, regardless. When I say they I mean whiteflame and Barney, Supadudz is not really doing his job. Yes, I say it publicly and yes, I am absolutely certain of it.

@AustinL0926
How do you know about airmax? ;) well maybe you know by the thread about him the mods made but that is still strange as you joined very recently.
The President is a balancing act with the mods, you don't want a president that is going to be a 'yes man' or 'good girl' to the mods. You want someone who is both a thorn in their side when it counts on behalf of users being wrongly or overly punished and yet is also an approachable person.
The other problem is it's a site entertainer hosting official tournaments, events and such and I guarantee you that ilikepie5 or anyone else is not gonna do shit about that half of the job. I will.

There was a thing, an app for cell/mobile debating known as Amino.
Amino is annoverarching app that lets users create communities inside but this had the right wing circlejerk leak many Disc servers had.

I know of a couple of discord servers but one is entirely biased to the left wing mainstream and the other(s) are the polar opposite... lol
The do it on the voice call at times but it is generally chit-chat channel debating.
I lost interest fast in them due to lack of any formality to it and blatantly biased judging.

@Athias
Where have I insulted you? (Quote me verbatim.) And I can't control your impressions of my speech. I'm not talking to you in a degrading way, or attempting to talk down to you.
I can only presume that this recent display is an expression of your feeling threatened
but it doesn't mean much without the confidence of those over whom you presume to preside.
your bloviating and overestimating your relationship with the moderators.
On time? Did he miss a dinner date?
You don't get brownie points
Your slinging mud at 3RU7AL for the most minuscule of reasons had little to no effect last time; I doubt they'll have much effect this time.
while not direct insults, it is very obvious the tone you're talking to me with. You are allowed to talk down to me though, that's not an issue, that's part of what it takes to campaign here. It seems you don't want 3RU7AL to receive the tone and grilling you're giving me, which is inherently hypocritical and that is my point.
Created:

@Athias
During our exchange you have done nothing but insult and talk to me in a degrading way. If you can't handle me in any shape or form critiquing 3RU7AL failing to show up yet, I don't know what to tell you.
If you aren't so close-minded that you can't open your mind to the prospect to voting me, then you actually are a prospect and if you didn't notice there are others watching. I answer you whether you vote me or not, that is called honest exchange. At this point, I feel I have answered everything you could answer.
Created:

@Athias
Do you intend to turn this into a contest over ad hominems? Isn't that what alienated you last time?
Actually that is how Lunatic and Mikal won Airmax the votes. That said, it will never be my strategy for presidency here, I am very easy to represent well in a defensive manner.
Created:

@Athias
Please outline the capacity of DART's president. Because it's been a year, and I believe you still don't understand what it is.
A person in charge simultaneously of all official site entertainment events for that year as well as in charge of bwing a liaison between mods and at-odds users with the moderation team. A further duty that is optional is to be a noticable face and listener to members who have issues eith users they are not sure they should bother the mods with, this requires them to trust you as a private ear to whisper into and also heed the advice of.
Created:

@Athias
On time? Did he miss a dinner date? The campaigning process as I understand it "began" just three days ago. If and when 3RU7AL decides to throw his hat in the race, you will eventually know. (You don't get brownie points for announcing your campaign first.)
Well, I get longer for people to critique me, ask questions and formulate their campaigns as angled against me. So yeah, there are some brownie points in terms of integrity and voter awareness vs being a surprise candidate later.
What did you in fact notice? Your own projections and perhaps insecurities--I presume--which you have trouble keeping under a lid? I mean "lazy and spineless" is a bit much, don't you think?
A person is either lazy, perhaps due to being busy elsewhere they have to be lazier here, or they are afraid. I cannot think of a third reason to hesitate campaigning than sheer negligence which is a brand if laziness.
Created:
-->
@Athias
If someone's too lazy or spineless to show up on time, they cannot say mud was slung at them for noticing it.
When 3RU7AL shows up, I will critique and attack as much as is needed, more so to point out that this user in the past few months has proven time and time again to be ignorant of moderation whether it's vote moderation nuances or forum moderation nuances let along multi-accounting or bot-usage rules that I (yes really me) corrected.
If that user wants to run, let them run. If they can't take the heat, tell them don't run. I couldn't care less why you are preemptively leaping to the defense of the user who hasn't yet set up their campaign. If anything this is you slinging mud at me on that user's behalf.
Created:

@SirAnonymous
If you mean in terms of chats with mods, yes I am definitely good at being that.
If you mean overall, I do not really see that as my primary feature. I think what sets me apart is that I am so intertwined with all parts of the website that there is barely any part of the rules or new userbase I am out of touch with.
Notice that whomever is running against me has not even been active enough to know they had to campaign yet.
