It is true, Velia, that I didn't wait for your opinion on the matter, before I started the vote. However, aside from Brandon, Dragonus Nesha and myself, NatiChan has also said she believes we need at most two admins (coder and all-rounder), and from Taka's next post, I figured he agreed as well. I'm sorry I forgot about you and I apologize, if I was too hasty.

You are definitely right, that adminship isn't something to be demanded. I'm sorry if I came across like that. I was only putting myself forwards as an active member for these past few months that, due to my qualifications, could be a potential good candidate. I'm confident in my abilities. You're right that an admin has to take part in everything. But I never said I was just a coder. You said that the pages that have been contributed to the most since I joined, weren't the result of my work. You can look at my contributions (and I believe you did), and you will see that I did my share in that half a year I've been around: I was active practically every single day since I came here, and I can say that me and Taka were for the most part the only two people that edited here steadily during that time. You can confirm that with him. I produced around 500 edits, 59% of which were on wikia pages, 13% on templates and 15% on files, for a total of around 88% edits being on non-talk things. You have been around for way longer, so of course you will have more edits! In the one year you have been actively editing on the wiki (that's twice as much as me), you've done over 2600 edits, with 65% on articles and 20% on files. But, if you go through all of our edits and add them together, then check our average character-per-edit, you will stand at 163.88 characters per edit, while mine will be 269.56 characters per edit on average. If we consider article edits only, your characters per edit on average raises to 280.12 characters per edit, so a little more than myself, but... you can see that there isn't that substantial of a difference. And about the heavy stuff of writing 10k long chapter summaries? I actually did a 12,000+ long chapter summary of Night 1, and Taka told me it was unnecessarily long. We spoke to DancingFairy back then, and the summary ended up staying, however. I'm sorry for this thorough breakdown but.. I just have to say I felt a little bit attacked, when you mentioned the weight of my contributions. We are pretty even there, you and I, the only thing is that you have been active on this wiki twice as long as me. You have more experience than I do - I've never denied that - but let's not touch the weight of my contributions please, because the facts speak for themselves.

If you have any more concerns about me other than me being here for only six months, I would like to hear them, however. I didn't mean to ignore your concerns, I was under the impression that I have addressed everyone's words in this thread. It might be that I have missed some, however, because the thread has grown quite long. I believe one of the concerns was related to the older members' issue with trusting me. I can completely understand that, since you don't know me, and it's hard, if not impossible to trust someone you don't know. But the reason you don't know me, is not because I've not been around for long enough, but because you haven't been here during my entire time of contributing on this Wikia. I don't think you should judge me as untrustworthy based on that. I believe in this case, it is wiser to ask someone you trust that has been around, that can either confirm or deny my trustworthiness, like Takashichea (and I believe he's already given his opinion on that matter).

I don't really have any specific comments to make to Brandon's and Taka's latest posts, because I mostly agree with them. I want to say, that I added Brandon's votes to the table, but I haven't added Taka's, because while he does say he doesn't doubt my contributions and would vote for me for the coding position, he ended up saying he's thinking about other solutions now, so I'm not sure anymore. I will wait until he makes a final decision.
