As somebody who's been stuck in this part of the forums for the past five years, it wouldn't make much of a dent to my life to manage the Hall of Legends as well.
I vote Apiks. Everything I've seen of him proves him to be an impartial (not to mention efficient) manager. He's also got a history of long-term commitment to a project.Sir! Are you saying I can never commit to a project? Why, the notion
The notion the notion of being distracted? :PObviously intentional to illustrate my point :-[
apiks (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?action=profile;u=80353): 4Also the issue with multiple votes or edited posts possibly not being counted, to help the voting process.

Plot twist: I will express mail a bottle of rum to everyone who votes for Bearskie :o

..... you serious?
So how many of these are real votes and how many are just maymay votes, cause I could run if you all want me to. Also, where to redeem my free alcoholic beverage of choice.
I think we need a poll at this point. You can vote twice (so you can choose a runner-up), and results are hidden until you have voted. The candidates are:I guess I was replaced by a bottle of rum. :-\ I thought I was the third person, as mentioned both...in the OP and in the second page.

PTW just because I want to see where this is going.Dammit, new york.
Also, I kinda abstain.
I vote The bottle of rum, probably.Dammit, jack sparrow.
Cons
- Not an alcoholic beverage.
See, this is why you don't post and rum. I edited my OP, and I'm just gonna leave this to NAV now.I think we need a poll at this point.

The competition isn't bad either, but archiving to protect against broken images is the kingmaker.
Disqualified.
No (other) questions asked. Elves do not represent Dwarf Fortresses, not unless they're Cacame Awemedinade. Bearskie is, quite clearly, Bearskie, and not Cacame.

I can firmly attest to the fact that Bearskie is not an elf, and is, in fact, a bear named Bearskie
Does that make me a Highlander? :oDisqualified.

Just like how I'm a derp named Derpy. And Th4DwArfY1 is a dwarf named Dwarfy.

Pffft. Trust the immortals to band together.
I am totally okay with elves representing dwarf fortress, so i must be the odd one out.Elves... Are like onions.
Gentlemen, I can assure you that I am of the ursine persuasion. Indeed, I am deeply wounded by the sordid accusations of me being, of all things, a squishy humanoid with little ears!
Certainly, our two kindred species have their fair share of striking similarities - a lush full body of hair, the tendency to feast upon our fallen foes, and a fondness for song and dance - and I do understand how certain mix-ups may occur... but surely, let that not distract you from the fact that I am, assuredly and truthfully, a proud registered seven-hundred pound grizzly roaming the Canadian wilderness.
You have my word and honor as a gentlebear.
Is anyone keeping track of the votes, or is it all bears now
SKOAR-BOREDFixed that for you.

Who was it again who had the intention to find missing images and write down the HOL?I recall that was Bearskie, although my memory stretches only to one of the threads in the Hall of Fame--that being ThatAussieGuy's [CLOWN] Checkerboard Defense, one of the first effective and efficient (of ease of use and creation) defenses in its time released, documented with pics (sadly photobucket decided to... kick the bucket, with monetizing and forced loading everything).
Oh, wait. Is NAV an option? Cause if so, I vote NAV.Err, NAV is the one passing the torch. :P You can't vote the person who wants to pass it to someone else.
Can too.Oh, wait. Is NAV an option? Cause if so, I vote NAV.Err, NAV is the one passing the torch. :P You can't vote the person who wants to pass it to someone else.

I did convert TAG's Dwarven Checkerboard (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=164560.msg7511039#msg7511039) to PDF.
However, Bearskie put plenty of work and effort, and completion of Hall of Legends conversion to PDF to save our artifacts from issues resulted in Photobucket broken links.
Like I said, Elf -> Trees -> Plant -> Paper -> Document -> PDF -> Hall of Legends -> I vote Bearskie!
Looking at how he organized Necrothreat I and II to PDF, apiks has the skills too. I'm sticking to my guns with apiks. And he has time, which is what we all need for this to be maintained and run in an orderly mannerI think that goes for all candidates though. Time and consistency to organize and format every 1st week of every month for updoots. :P
Vote me and I promise to dump everything, put all my threads in the Hall, and then ignore the job completely.New candidate? :o

I just realized that I haven't done so, but I wish to return my vote to its original - for Immortal D, in the name of good sportsmanship and honor.D'aww, <3 :-* However, I'm afraid you missed the fine print on that rum
I do wish to remind Immortal D that I did have my vote for Bearskie for a long time and would like that bottle now.
Immortal-D please.
Immortal-D
Vote for Immortal-D.
I vote for Immortal-D.
Thanks for your work on the Hall of Legends NAV!
You know what? I know longer abstain, I give my vote to Immortal-D.
I mean, I barely know all four candidates but know him slightly more. Plus, Invader Zim avatar. Gotta respect that.
I vote Immortal-D
After looking at all the candidates, the HOL would be in good hands with any of them.
Immortal-D was the first to offer his candidacy so he gets my vote.
Immortal-D is a super chill and objective kind of fellow.
+1 to the D.
I'll vote for Immortal-D, simply because they are the only candidate I have interacted with on these forums. Good luck to all, and thanks for stepping up to curate the Hall.
Woo Immortal-D :D (I think NAV said Nov 14th was when he'd count? ...Or is it more 'when he'll get to it that is before December' :) )
Either way, super grateful that I even have votes. .-.; Super awesome to see all the support, to everyone of the candidates (and to other votes and nice ideas :D)

What? Bearskie specifically said this was not a democracy; I just assumed we would fight to the death. I mean, nobody has seen Monk12 since you took over :P
On a serious note, don't sweat it NAV :) You've done an outstanding job during your tenure, but school is a priority. Just to keep the ball rolling, I will throw my hat in the ring and vote for Apiks.
I vote Apiks.

As an aside, perhaps think of giving a link to this in the HoL? It was pure chance I saw it.
As a double aside, I certainly did not see your tenure as one of neglect. Well done, Sir NAV!
Vote for apiks
+1 to Apiks
Sure, I'll vote for Tiruin.
Voting for Tiruin. Vote numbers were appreciable.
Tiruin sounds good to me
PTW mostly, especially if a poll might be going up.
If a poll does not go up, I vote for Tiruin.
I switch my vote to Tiruin. I've gotten to know him/her pretty well on my discord, so yeah.
Sorry Bearskie, without that Rum...
+1 tothe underdogTiruin
Go Tiruin! You have my vote. :)
Plot twist: I will express mail a bottle of rum to everyone who votes for Bearskie :o
..... you serious?
Brb voting for myself.
I vote for bearskie.
Since Bearskie is actually running, seems least busy and not going to winter hibernation like a bear, they'll get my vote. The competition isn't bad either, but archiving to protect against broken images is the kingmaker.
Bearskie is an elf. Elves like trees. Trees are like plants. Plants are mashed to paper. Paper is a document. Documents are in PDF. PDF are used in archives. Archives are great halls. This is Hall of Legends. My vote is to the elf. The elf is Bearskie!
Okay, I'm changing my vote to Bearskie.
That's enough evidence for dwarven justice system. Hail Bearskie.

Given reddit has more activity, ex when comparing 44.01 release notes, I'd say bay12 should be forum Canada, not reddit.eh, just threw it together in a minute for a dumb joke not really thinking about the size or activity of the forums.

I don't care.
It's glorious :D
Congrats random forumite who I didn't vote for!do to not having much free time I shall step down from being curator of the Hall of Legends, I hand this responsibility to the previous curator of the Hall of Legends.
Don't screw up, OR ELSE.
I wasn't referring to you, death. I didn't vote for Immortal-D either.
Sorry for being late as usual. Here is the final vote count, with all the votes quoted.You...quoted me as voting for someone. :P I did mention that as a candidate--I didn't vote.
I wasn't referring to you, death. I didn't vote for Immortal-D either.
I thought you were going off of Immortal-D's joke, also I did vote for Immortal-D.

I voted for neither you nor him, hence the "I didn't vote for him either".
All in all, an understandable series of mistakes. Now quit spoiling the fun of my joke, or else!
Woop woop, congratulations are in order for our jazzy new curator, Immortal-D!Yes indeed, good job, good luck, enjoy it!Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Woop woop, congratulations are in order for our jazzy new curator, Immortal-D!Am I allowed to 'throw the match', as it were? Because that is totally a thing I will do, if the prize is worthwhile. But that does raise the question of exactly how I can anonymously bet against myself.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Simple. You give me the money, I bet the right amount of time, we split the winnings.Just don't make it obvious like a player in my D&D game did and you're fine
Thankfully no one elsr has seen this flaw.
