''Candidate, please summarize why you are running for adminship below.''<br>

==== Support ====

#<s>'''Weak support'''</s>. DF has demonstrated the necessary professionalism, dedication, and temperament that admins require. While there have been a couple minor issues with [[SW:1RV]], I don't think it's extremely consequential, and I have no doubt in my mind the wiki would be much better off with Disaster Flare as an admin.

#::Most of your oppose reasons seem rather minor, and what the user could do with his/her life/self is completely irrelevant here. Also "''In the end, the situations seemed to turn out well, but it seems you need a better gauge of when something is going to turn nasty or not.''". Admins need to be willing to "stick the oar in" to any discussion that seems like it might fly off the rails, whether it gets nasty or not. <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:12pt">[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#083; text-shadow:0px 0px 3px #0b7">'''Serpent'''</span>]] [[File:SKSig.png|16px|link=]] [[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#ed0; text-shadow:0px 0px 3px #fd0">'''King'''</span></span>]] 10:40, 4 March 2016 (EST)

#:::<s>That makes sense. I wrote this late at night, and it doesn't have a whole lot of sense to it. I'm going to change to '''support'''; while I feel there's enough admins, they're not around enough to deal with the rampant vandalism. Perhaps one more would be the magic number for admins @ SW.

==== Comments ====

My only question: What do you think you add to the admin team? Right now we have a pretty balanced team - Miles has the seniority and wiki knowledge, Serpent King and Nyargle share "charismatic idea man", OT has the competitive knowledge, and Toomai has the strange ability to keep everyone under control and working together. What makes you think you could add something to this team to make it better? <small>---Preceding unsigned comment added by [[Special:MyPage|you]].

:Well firstly, my communication skills are typically really good, especially in debates and towards newer users. Granted, I will admit I've had some slipups, particularly in some of our spats (which I do apologize for letting my feelings take control in those situations). If I'm being honest, at the moment out of all the active admins, Serpent has the best communication skills, and even he himself has said mine are much better. Beyond that, I'm kinda like the "all colors of the rainbow" kind of aspect, when looking back at my history on the wiki. My competitive knowledge has been improving, my wiki markup and coding skills in general are pretty good these days, and I may be somewhat inaccurate here, but I've had history on not just SmashWiki, but also on three other wikis I can recall off the top of my head, so I'd like to say my wiki knowledge is about on par with Miles, maybe a bit less. Basically, in a nutshell, if there's a new obstacle, I'm willing to overcome it and take it to improve myself not just as a user, but as a person as well. I want to be able to help better the wiki in every way possible, not just in one category. Hope this helps.

::If you look at his contributions, I'm pretty sure you would say you would pass this but yeah, I'm expecting deeper thought than just that.

:::They are both active and good faith, but still socks [[File:PoultrysigSSB4.png|20x50px]][[User:Poultry|<font color="red">'''Poultry'''</font>]][[File:PoultrysigSSBM.png|20x50px]]''([[User talk:Poultry#top|<font color="blue">talk</font>]])'' the Pumpkin Pie 14:29, 19 March 2016 (EDT)

::::At that point, I'd tell them on whichever one they use more the existence of SW:SOCK and then ask them to choose which account they'd like to keep. After they've chosen, I'll infinitely block the account they didn't choose. It's honestly fairly straightforward.
