Halopedia:Covenant of Halopedia/Elections/Eighth Term

Voting has closed.

And so, a new election rolls around. As if it weren't enough to deal with the fallout of the '08 elections, the world must wait with bated breath as Halopedia decides its new Usergroup leaders.

EwCDnaudee419 (7)

 * I, Incendiary, nominate EwCDnaudee419 for CoH Councillor. Since EwCDnaudee419 became a councillor he has proven a valuable member and has put a lot of time into the CoH. Incendiary 07:39, 20 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I accept this nomination. --Councilor Εw C 'Dnaudee  Battle Net My Editcount Administration 10:01, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

As per nomination. Incendiary 16:50, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

- He is by far the most active member in the CoH and he also has the most experience of all. So, he gets my vote. -

- He is definetly the most active member of CoH and is extremly helpful. I had no question he couldn't answer. - Varactus 'Vadamee

- His contributions to the wiki and to the CoH are irreplaceable, he is amongst a league of about 3 users that have been so much to the CoH in my experience.

- Friendly, knowledgeable, and committed, EwCDnaudee419 is very much the epitomee of what Halopedians stand for and strive to be. 20:26, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

- A loyal, trustworthy, and fair Councilor, I strongly support his continued leadership. Spec Ops  Commander   Spartansniper  4  50  18:59, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

- He has done lots to make the wiki better and is friendly and helps with any queries (is that how it's spelt?) you may have. Lekgolo123 14:28, 8 April 2009 (GMT)
 * Not enough edits. Read the voting policy. Nicmavr   Concorde  [[Image:Concorde.jpeg|14px]]  Take Off   Speed of sound!  15:56, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

- He has always shown his fellow users respect, and has cared for this site longer than most have been a member. He has always kept this site free from spam, and has made many contributions. Sniper hound

Kougermasters (10)

 * I, Specops306, nominate Kougermasters for CoH Councilor. During his time here, he has made some invaluable contributions to the CoH, helping to welcome new members, and so on. -- Councillor   Specops 306  -  Qur'a   'Morhek  00:07, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Per nomination. -- ' Administrator  Specops306  -  Qur'a 'Morhek ''  Honour Light Your Way! ''' 01:25, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Per Specops' nomination, after looking at Kouger's contributions and CoH history, he's clearly a suitable candidate. SevenCycles 00:14, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

I Prophet of Intent believe that he is a suitable nominee.Prophetofintent 00:35, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Very helpful to this website, extremely active, and friendly. He has also long wanted a position on the CoH like this. Happy hobo  -117  The Guy

JKouger has done some astounding work with Covenant articles and even helped with CoH articles. He deserves this honour. Ascy undefined 'Vamal  Ultra Elite   contribs  12:36, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Notanoob 23:56, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

After seeing his contributions, I'd have to vote for him. Nra 'Vadumee 12:26, 8 April 2009


 * Sorry, not enough edits. You have 11; minimum is 50.

Nicmavr (3)
I, Kougermasters nominate Nicmavr for a position in the Covenant of Halopedia Council. I can't really describe all that Nicmavr has done for this Wiki; he's done so much. But I can say that he has been a loyal and efficient vandal fighter, he organized a Greek version of Halopedia, and he's been a true friend. He is also an excellent contributor; look at his editcount! It's time the CoH had a full Council again, or at least an almost-full Council.


 * Ok, I'll give it a shot. Nomination accepted. Ascy undefined 'Vamal   Ultra Elite   contribs  12:36, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Specops306 (Declined Nomination)
I, Notanoob nominate Specops306 for Counciler, as he has plenty of experience as one, and well, it doesn't seem right that he hasn't been nominated already. (I mean, come on, it's in his sig!) On top of that, he is very active, has a wounderful edit count, and can only do us good.


 * Actually, I'm stepping down from the Covenant of Halopedia. Recent health reasons mean that my availability is already limited - scheuermanns kyphosis isn't fun to have when you have a "job" that needs you to sit at a computed chair for long periods, and that's just administrating. So for this term election, I'm afraid I'm going to have to decline. --  Administrator  Specops306  -  Qur'a 'Morhek   Honour Light Your Way!  01:19, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

CommanderTony (Declined Nomination)
I feel as if the Usergroups are nothing more than a relic from the past, no extensive projects or prolonged activity has come from them in the past two to three elections, therefore I deny the nomination for another term as a General of the UoH. Though i'm keeping the title of "General" in my signature. General  Tony ,  Administrator of Halopedia  Talk 3/20/2009

Spirit-of-HALO (11)
With Tony Declining, I'll still help. :D Brigadier    Comm|    Mission|    Papers|    Commendations|    H.Q.  01:03, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

- Spirit-of-HALO has proven to be an excellent leader and a great user overall. If it weren't for certain past events, misunderstandings, and other unpleasant factors, I would open him an RfA. Kougermasters 01:22, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

- per Kouger, very fair and I have seen him be very helpful towards newer users. Spec Ops  Commander   Spartansniper  4  50  22:09, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

- I support the nomination of Sprit-of-HALO for the fact that I believe he has the most experince and reliablility, in my opinion bar Comander Tony, but since he resigned from the nomination he is the next best choice. Go get em' Spirit! - User:Halo Scout

- well other than CT,Spirit of halo has the most experience, he is my ship afterall :) - User:Captain James Cutter

 * I accept nomination for my fifth term as a UoH General. With Tony no longer accepting nominations it seems that I will be the General with the most experience and it will fall on me to actually be active again.--Bam! Ryan   The   Greatest  17:49, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

A great General, Ryan has probably seen the most experience of the nominated users.  1st Class   Cadet   ONI recon 111  |   18:33, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

JEA13 (1)
I, Kougermasters, nominate JEA13. He is a great user and leader, and he will do well at the helm of the UoH.
 * As there is an obvious limit in nominees, and with the most important of them declining, I will accept the nomination. -

ONI is a great user and an even better Friend. He would be a great benifit to the UoH. SPARTAN- G0  24  20:42, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Forerunner (5)
Forerunner was one of the few people who urged to revive the Ancients. This shows his/her determination and spirit in keeping the Ancients as an active usergroup.

- His name and contribs shows that he is the most suitable person. -

- Aww jeez, this was a hard choice, Subs or Forerunner, Forerunner, along with myself and others, pushed for a return of the AoH, so I think Forerunner's a good choice for the job. Spec Ops  Commander   Spartansniper  4  50  22:16, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

- With a name like that, why not? :P In all seriousness though, making a responsible user with good editing habits focused on a single subject will work out well, I can feel in Notanoob 19:20, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * User has voted for multiple people for the same usergroup.

- Hence, The name Forerunner. Captain6 22:20, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

- I know Forerunner has enough experience to handle the job, and even his name shows how well suited he is for it.  Phil.e.  [Talk to me] 23:41, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Nicmavr (1)
After trying so hard with Simon rjh to re-found this usergroup, I found it a pity to see it fall. But with this election I see new hope. Nic is someone I know and trust, and I very much think he exceeds the qualification to take lead of the group in the footsteps of Simon rjh, Subtank, Lovemuffin, and myself.

 * I accept. Kougermasters  05:07, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

- Per everyones reasons. Incendiary 07:43, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

- We need a leader, and I think that Kougermasters can be one. Besides, Kougermasters is active enough to support it.
 * User has voted for multiple people for the same usergroup.

- He would do much better in the CoH, and it's hard to lead 2 usergroups at once. -

Hmm, I'm not sure how much experience you have on the SCoH. I agree with what JEA says, but the SCoH doesn't have a lot of nominees, so I'll stay neutral. Ascy undefined 'Vamal  Ultra Elite   contribs  18:13, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

- Nothing personal. I think Kougermasters is a great user, makes a lot of content contribs etc. But two user groups...? Anyway, he's much better off just leading the big CoH. The 888th Avatar (Talk) 03:36, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

 * User is disqualified from voting, campaigning on userpage. [[Image:Fleet Marine Force insignia.png|50px]] General  Tony ,  Administrator of Halopedia  Talk 3/23/2009
 * Now I read that policy, and I think there is some confusion as to what "campaigning" is. Campaigning is when one actively says why they should vote for a particular person. An election "campaign" is when candidates try to convince others to vote for them. I didn't do that. I merely posted a link to the page, implying "vote for me if you support me". I didn't try to convince others to vote for me, period. I didn't list reasons why people should vote for me, or anything of that kind.


 * I am fairly disappointed that things were not considered more carefully when that policy was made. I am actually surprised that it is even a policy. Why is it a crime to list votes on one's own user page, which is a user's personal user space? I would understand in other places on the wiki, I've had to deal with similar problems before, but one's own user space...? I am also fairly disappointed that an admin felt it necessary to enforce that policy without more careful consideration.
 * If I was fired up, I would just remove the disqualification. I've been stubborn before. On Avatar Wiki, just a few weeks after I joined, I argued against an admin for hours about the title of a page. I won. But I'm not going to do that today.
 * I do feel that I am still relatively new to Halopedia. I understand global wiki policies with a high degree of proficiency (blocking policy, rollback, article format etc.), and have a great understanding of how wikis work. But from this incident, I have come to the conclusion that I still don't understand fully how this particular wiki works. For example, I was considerably surprised to find that article improvement and new policies were developed by user groups rather than old-fashioned community input like other wikis, even Wikipedia.
 * For that reason, I'm withdrawing my nomination. I'll still participate in the Standards Council, and I expect to submit a whole lot of proposals after the elections. And I'm always around for cleanup and vandalism, just ask. I wish the other candidates well. Thank you. The 888th Avatar  (Talk) 03:22, 23 March 2009 (UTC)


 * :| Well I didn't mean to cause this much trouble by suggesting to remove it just in case it was considered as campaigning by someone else. (I think a warning itself would of been more suitable instead of disqualification o.O) But I do think the policy is good for this particular wiki at this state, because I can see alot of aggression if there was campaigning..the site changed quite a bit when the skin changed and all these features were added NARUTARD AND PROUD

Technically, you weren't campaigning, you were just notifying people that you had been nominated, and informing them that they could vote for you if they wanted... um... ChurchReborn (or Justine, which do you prefer?) what's a Narutard?! Is it someone who likes Naruto or whatever it's called? — Ko ug  er  ma  st  er  s ,  Lo  rd   of   Va  li  nor  07:00, 23 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Well I guess it's up to opinion as to what it is. I took to half and half, but notified just in case someone else saw.

Anyway. YES. THAT IS A NARUTARD. I own all 27 volumes of the first part of Naruto, starting on the 2nd part with 2 so far ( They're expensive, 7.95$ per. :, I've watched basically all of the main episodes of the main plot of part one and I've watched a few of the shippuden episodes (meaning part 2), oh, and I like to draw it. been a pokemon freak lately though ^_____________^ oh, and I prefer my real name usually. had to throw this in too ^_^ NARUTARD AND PROUD


 * Well, to avoid conflict I've withdrawn instead of making the elections ugly, because I hate it when votes on wikis get ugly, it misses the point of a wiki. I'm usually very careful around wiki policy, but I didn't think this would be an issue. So I guess I'll be even more careful in the future, and wait for the next election...

I think the Gamers of Halopedia is dead. Kougermasters 05:07, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it's dead. I think someone should revive it, like what GS and Simon did with the AoH. Ascy undefined 'Vamal   Ultra Elite   contribs  12:36, 20 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I want to revive it, even though I'm just a Carjacker in it. It's a cool usergroup and I don't want it deleted. User:SNES Lover

I'm not sure how the standards council will actually do...I can get the article quality better stuff, but some of the stuff that was come up with is to change all British spellings to American just because the game and Microsoft are American. Now if policies like that are going to be brought up and passed, I think it'd do more damage than good. o_O I know that's just one but the general idea is always there with me when I see the name of that group. ''' J u  s  t  i  n  e I'm too cool to sparkle. That's what my sonic screwdriver's  for.''' 18:58, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah. I don't think we should be changing the spelling ways just because Bungie and Microsoft are American. It really makes no difference, as it means the same thing anyway. We should focus on improvements rather than how we should spell a word. Ascy undefined 'Vamal   Ultra Elite   contribs  19:03, 20 March 2009 (UTC)


 * It concerns other problems too, like officially causing this to be a Halopedia standard: Nicmavr has Rollback Rights. instead of: Nicmavr has Rollback Rights . Even this is bad: Nicmavr has Rollback Rights. Another example is Biography Articles Format Standards, the Neutral Point of View standard (which a lot of people need a lot of help with) Article Quality Levels Standards, Categories Standards, Battle Articles Format Standards, and yes, Language Standards. There are also Quotes Standards and hundreds of other standards that need to be implemented. Plus, I was one of the only eager users that were actually interested in the SCoH, albeit in a slightly foolish and enthusiastic way. I suppose I sort of view myself as the "savior" in a sense of the Standards Council. And about the CoH... the SCoH doesn't require much work anyway, so I will still be able to helm the SCoH and continue my responsibilities in the CoH. Kougermasters  21:36, 20 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't see a problem with any of that, but it was major stuff like the spelling changes that made me a little skeptical about the group.  J u  s  t  i  n  e I'm too cool to sparkle. That's what my  sonic screwdriver's  for. 22:12, 20 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Also, I hope all similar references are grouped together like this. Or like this. We really don't want the quality of our articles to be bad like this. Just saying... Grouping references into a group should be practised throughout the whole community. Laziness is bad! - <font color="#FF4F00">5 ub<font color="#FF4F00">7 ank (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 07:22, 21 March 2009 (UTC)


 * And you go ahead and add a references tag thing. Wow, Subtank... Kougermasters  09:23, 21 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, we need Kougermasters just to have it technically active at lest, as I would pretty much dedicate all of my available internet time to it, so he doesn't need to be as active. Also, we need a game music standard, and more complete standards, like where to place certain bits of information. I always pictured us just making templates, where we would have something like "(insert x* types of facts here) *x facts are classified in the x facts standard found here:..." It might be extreme, but I would love to see it happen and gladly help.

Really now, what is the point of the Gamers of Halopedia? It seems immature, disorganized, and rather pointless. Sure, they work on Halo game-related articles, but doesn't the community at large do that well enough independently? I don't think we need that user group. <span class="buttonlink" style="border-width: 2px; white-space:nowrap;background-color:blue;padding:1px 2px 1px 2px;color:black;"> Kougermasters  <span class="buttonlink" style="border-width: 2px; white-space:nowrap;background-color:brown;padding:1px 2px 1px 2px;color:black;"> Mythic  <span class="buttonlink" style="border-width: 2px; white-space:nowrap;background-color:purple;padding:1px 2px 1px 2px;color:black;"> Map  <span class="buttonlink" style="border-width: 2px; white-space:nowrap;background-color:gray;padding:1px 2px 1px 2px;color:black;"> Pack   <span class="buttonlink" style="border-width: 2px; white-space:nowrap;background-color:red;padding:1px 2px 1px 2px;color:black;"> April 9, 2009   <span class="buttonlink" style="border-width: 2px; white-space:nowrap;background-color:darkgreen;padding:1px 2px 1px 2px;color:black;"> GO GREEN!  02:07, 22 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree, and this is the second straight election that its gone without so much as a single nomination. Spec Ops   Commander   Spartansniper  4  50  02:38, 22 March 2009 (UTC)


 * The Gamers of Halopedia is not immature or pointless. I see it as a very useful usergroup that is just under-appreciated. (That's how I see it.) - User:SNES Lover


 * I don't think the GoH is a bad idea. But its not what Halopedia is about anymore - we're about the story, rather than the gameplay. There's a completely separate wiki for gameplay. --  Administrator  Specops306  -  Qur'a 'Morhek   Honour Light Your Way!  03:12, 22 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I totally agree with Specops306. The GoH can be useful. Also, since there is a Halo Gaming Wiki, can someone put a link. (I never heard of it.) - User:SNES Lover


 * We should be about story and gameplay... but anywayz, Specops, what happened to the Councillor in your signature? You're still a Councillor (that we're all proud of) until April 20... I mean, I can't just go putting Councillor in my signature yet... can I? <span class="buttonlink" style="border-width: 2px; white-space:nowrap;background-color:blue;padding:1px 2px 1px 2px;color:black;"> Kougermasters   <span class="buttonlink" style="border-width: 2px; white-space:nowrap;background-color:brown;padding:1px 2px 1px 2px;color:black;"> Mythic  <span class="buttonlink" style="border-width: 2px; white-space:nowrap;background-color:purple;padding:1px 2px 1px 2px;color:black;"> Map  <span class="buttonlink" style="border-width: 2px; white-space:nowrap;background-color:gray;padding:1px 2px 1px 2px;color:black;"> Pack   <span class="buttonlink" style="border-width: 2px; white-space:nowrap;background-color:red;padding:1px 2px 1px 2px;color:black;"> April 9, 2009   <span class="buttonlink" style="border-width: 2px; white-space:nowrap;background-color:darkgreen;padding:1px 2px 1px 2px;color:black;"> GO GREEN!  03:18, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I haven't resigned, but I thought I'd try and change my signature to more accurately reflect my future position. After April 20, I'll be an Honor Guard Ultra, but otherwise a normal member of the CoH. I'll keep the userbox until then, though, and I'll try to respond to promotion requests before the next CoH leaders start their term. --  Administrator  Specops306  -  Qur'a 'Morhek   Honour Light Your Way!  08:37, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok. Can you maybe tell me when you have free time (on my Talk Page) what it's like being a Councillor, and what duties, responsibilities, and abilities one would have? You're also going to have to reconcile with the problem that for the foreseeable future, only one of the Councilors will be an admin, and they have to be equal. Can you please explain via Talk Page? Oh, and do you like my new signature? — K o  u  g  e  r  m  a  s  t  e  r  s  08:41, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Ok, when is this Election going to end? Its not mentioned in the SiteNotice nor in the Main Page. People have most probably have forgotten about it and there are a lot of pending promotion requests in the Usergroups. So??? -


 * It says when it's going to end at the top of the page. As for me, I would like my promotion request answered at least. But yes, I hope the Election ends sooner than April 20... maybe tomorrow? — Ko ug  er  ma  st  er  s ,  Lo  rd   of   Va  li  nor  20:26, 23 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh, don't expect your request to be answered, mine had been there since several days ago, and there has been no Councilor activity at the page for weeks! As one of the three Councilors has retired and the other has shown very few signs of activity... -

Yours is the only unanswered request in the CoH... — Ko ug  er  ma  st  er  s ,  Lo  rd   of   Va  li  nor  21:02, 23 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Actually, now, unfortunately, yeah!!! :P:P:P -


 * Hmm.. in his rush, Specops seems to have forgotten to answer your request, forgotten to sign my request that he answered, and he seems to have put me in the user box section of the Weapons Masters... Interesting. I hope this election ends soon. — Ko ug  er  ma  st  er  s ,  Lo  rd   of   Va  li  nor  21:26, 23 March 2009 (UTC)


 * lolz? No HaloDude, no Specops... where's Ew C at least? Now we need him the most! Dang this election could infact bring good to the groups... -

I haven't seen James for nearly 2 weeks, so I have no idea what happened to him or where he is o.O ''' J u  s  t  i  n  e I'm too cool to sparkle. That's what my sonic screwdriver's  for.''' 01:50, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * No props Specops, Im infact glad I got promoted! XD So, Church, you Don't know what's up with HaloDude? If you don't know, something serious must have happened to him... -

Yeah, I have a question, why was this taken off the sitenotice and not on the Main Page, I just spoke with a user who had no idea that it was even going on. Spec Ops  Commander   Spartansniper  4  50  14:54, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

I propose ending these elections on April 7th, in one week. — Ko ug  er  ma  st  er  s ,  Lo  rd   of   Va  li  nor  08:29, 31 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I think we should make these known again, like I said many users don't even know this is going on and should be able to vote, ending it early will just prevent people from being able to. Weapons   Master   Spartansniper  4  50  18:14, 1 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Firstly, no, I'm not ending it early. I'm giving it time to pick up momentum again. I'm also sure that's against policy. Secondly, I've added a notification template to the UoH, CoH and AoH that they elections are still ongoing. Hopefully they'll drum up more activity! --  Administrator  Specops306  -  Qur'a 'Morhek   Honour Light Your Way!  12:06, 8 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Add another one to the GoH this time Specops, will you? It is going to be revived! :P -


 * Thanks to Sub-71 and I. Only 10 more days!!! — K o  u  g  e  r  m  a  s  t  e  r  s  03:37, 11 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Great! Finally the GoH will be active again. I'm glad we have great users like sub and kouger (and many others!) that give all the help they can. Thanks to them, and anyone else who helped.

Also look like our group leaders will be quite different too... Nicmavr   Concorde    Take Off   Speed of sound!  04:36, 11 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Who's gonna be the most active Councillor? ME. Who's gonna be the most active Senator? ME!!! lol... and JEA13 says it will be hard for me to help manage two user groups. — K o  u  g  e  r  m  a  s  t  e  r  s  04:38, 11 April 2009 (UTC)


 * LOL yeah, this time you have really amazed me! XD -


 * You know JEA13, un-time stamped signatures really p1$s me off. I think I'll make a blog about that, actually. — K o  u  g  e  r  m  a  s  t  e  r  s  22:01, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Just a question can there be more then three overkillers in the GoH? 23:52 12 April 2009 (UTC)


 * There can be five leaders maximum in each user group. I think that's the maximum, anyway. — K o  u  g  e  r  m  a  s  t  e  r  s  05:59, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

I have an important question that I am eager to have answered. Since the Ancients of Halopedia elected leaders are already making user boxes and pretty much trying to start leader their user groups, would it be alright to start our leadership abilities now? I am anxious to clean up the Standards Council, add my name to the Senate, and eventually start implementing new article standards. And I do have 11 votes for the CoH, just as SoH has 10 votes for the UoH. I'm just wondering if us elected leaders can start doing stuff, or have to wait and let our usergroups be inactive for 8 more days. I don't know about you, but 8 days seems a lot time to wait now that we're so close. With regards, — K o  u  g  e  r  m  a  s  t  e  r  s  05:59, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

The answer to that would be no. Voting does not close until the 20th, and until then nominees retain their previous status. -- ' Administrator  Specops306  -  Qur'a 'Morhek ''  Honour Light Your Way! ''' 06:17, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Correction 3 more days O.o 12:23, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

To Sub-71: O RLY!? I think not... 2 more days!

To Specops306: Can we start our duties the second it becomes the 20th (Halopedia time), or do we have to wait for you to formally announce the end of the elections? — K o  u  g  e  r  m  a  s  t  e  r  s  23:21, 17 April 2009 (UTC)


 * (Claps)...now that's dedication... The 888th Avatar  (Talk) 01:20, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

The dawn of April 20th and the closing of these elections are the same thing. So sure. Come the 20th, we'll have a new bunch of usergroup leaders. -- ' Administrator  Specops306  -  Qur'a 'Morhek ''  Honour Light Your Way! ''' 01:54, 18 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Alright, thanks. But what if I go on Halopedia, at say, (wikia time) 23:49 and it's like April 19th, or something like that? — K o  u  g  e  r  m  a  s  t  e  r  s  02:01, 18 April 2009 (UTC)


 * You wouldn't be councillor yet. Best to wait at least until midnight. --  Administrator  Specops306  -  Qur'a 'Morhek   Honour Light Your Way!  02:48, 18 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I think that would be... around Sunday, I think. My time, anyway. Good, I'll have lots of time to start my duties before school starts again. — K o  u  g  e  r  m  a  s  t  e  r  s  08:34, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

To Kougermasters: O RLY? Correction! One more day.... Dun Dun Dun..... 11:08, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

To Sub-71: O RLY?!?!!? I think not... nay, for it seems- it seems that there are only a few hours to go! I estimate around 11 or so, though I have always been a poor mathematician. — K o  u  g  e  r  m  a  s  t  e  r  s  01:14, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
