Failed. (candidate withdrew)

Candidate statement

I think most of you have encountered me at one point or another, either here on the GWW or on the IRC channel for it. As such, I gather most of you know a little bit about how I work on the wiki. I strongly believe that I can approach any situation with neutrality, which is invaluble when intervening with drama or sorting a potential block/ban, and I feel I would be an asset to the wiki with sysop tools. There's not else much to say, as ultimately the decision to support or oppose goes down to my contributions, and questions posed by you. So if undecided, ask away. Would like to withdraw.

Support

1. Support. To give a (good) reason is always my weak point. Well, let's go. I know you very well, and I know your thoughts about the wiki. I trust that you are a positive addition to the sysop team. You are constructive, you think before you do, you are helpfull and you know the rules. I have a feeling you can decide and judge on a proper way. It's time for some new meat =) -- Cyan 14:54, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
2. Support. I feel that we, as wiki users, will benefit from Shadow Runner having sysop tools, as he has always assisted in fighting vandals and appears to be skilled at conflict resolution as seen here. From what I've seen, I also believe that he will be able to keep a cool head and an unbiased view when going about his sysop duties.--neshot. moo. 17:42, 18 July 2010 (UTC)...
3. Support. Do I have to give a reason? >> Your an intelligent and trustworthy person that can handle the responsibility of being a sysop without abusing its power. You have contributed to this wiki is very constructive ways and have been able to resolve conflicts without people going insane. You are the perfect type of person to be a sysop. P.S. I would like a few get-out-of-ban cards if you make it :D. The Emmisary 19:11, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
4. Support Level-headed, active, good at conflict resolution, constructive, plays nice with people, unbiased, intelligent, authoritative, sane, knowledgeable, skilled. Just in time too since we need more sysops at the moment to keep the peace. Hope you pass through and become a great sysop. Just remember not to let all that power go to your head! :-D. --Lania 22:47, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
5. Support. What other people said above. -Cursed Angel 09:50, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

Oppose

1. You seem like a nice, reasonable person, but what I see in your contributions is mostly friendly chit-chat on userpages, and undoing vandalism. That latter is great, but it's not enough for me to support you as a sysop yet. Manifold 23:03, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
2. While I agree Shadow Runner is a good member of the community I don't share the view he needs Admin Tools, and so I look down on this as a popularity contest for the sake of a popularity contest. This is mildly supported by the (distinct lack of) reasoning for people to Support his RfA and tasks he would perform as an Administrator. People shouldn't just be given the Sysop flag because they're popular, no offense to Shadow Runner, but I don't consider this to be best for the community. A F K When Needed 11:59, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
3. Looking at GW2W here, you seem to lack a lot of experience. Having <300 edits on both combined. I agree with A F K, popularity isn't a good reason to be given adminship. --Naut 15:49, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

Neutral

1. ...who the hell is... i don't even?? --ilr 01:06, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
2. He's... alright. I would prefer to see more time spent editing, but I see nothing to oppose over. -Auron 01:13, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
3. Yea actually I gotta change my vote to neutral. It's cool if you become a sysop n all but to be honest after hearing the arguments and thinking about it I can't give 100% support. Why do people care about editing? Hardly any sysop does it anyhow. I'd still like those get-out-of-ban free cards though :D. The Emmisary 01:20, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
4. Wall o' text basically saying that you don't need to be an admin, your contributions don't warrant admin-ship, YOU DON'T NEED TO BE AN ADMIN, and being an admin doesn't make you/the wiki benefit in any way. But if you want to grow your e-peen, I'll support you fully! Iffy 96.231.229.227 01:28, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
