Recent events out of the staff's control have made a revote for the positions of Magnus (second in command) and Maximus (third in command) of the Autobots necessary at this time. The last vote is no longer valid, as two of the three candidates are not viable for candidacy any longer due to regrettably unavoidable circumstances.
The stresses of real life have given the Autobot leader, our admin Feenixfire, a hard time. As such, she's passed responsibility of holding the site-wide revote on to me.
Feenixfire has already decided that the only still-eligible candidate of the original vote- GriefAura- and the former Magnus of the Autobots, Skyspray, will be two of the three candidates of the new election. The third candidate, however, will be up to you- the site's users- to decide for yourselves! So, before the revote can be held, we'll be holding nominations and debates for the third potential candidate.
Would you like to nominate someone for candidacy? If you have a candidate in mind that you'd like to see in the revote, please list their name here, and tell us why you think they'd be a good fit! The only one rule we'd like to implement right now, is that you're not allowed to nominate yourself. If someone's already nominated the Autobot you'd like to see become a candidate, then go ahead and say-so, and support that nomination! As of this moment, nominations for the third candidate for Autobot High Command are open. Once a small handful of nominated Autobots have been clearly distinguished from the rest of the group, debates can be held where the nominees themselves can explain why the think they'd make a good fit.
Have fun, everyone, and let the nominations begin!

Last night I had a brief attack of the don't-give-a-Scraps but that turned out to be something else more medication-related.
I think we could use a few new mods, myself.

Breech, this is not staff related. It is high command related. So please refrain from dicussing that here

I would like ( if other people are okay with it) the third candidate. Bruiser is a higher ranking member in the ranks. I have been here since early 2013 learning from the best and brightest. Bruiser has been a part of the Elite Guard and was Head of Engineering (which if some of you remember when the Prime, Magnus, and Maximus were setting up near Cybertron on TFU, all the heads had to lead at that time).
So I really think I could help if I got the nomination, and got the Magnus or Maximus.

I certainly hope you actually read what I wrote, Bruise, instead of just using this thread to further your own agenda. I specifically said that the one and only rule of this nomination for candidacy was that you could not nominate yourself. So, please, next time read a little bit more thoroughly.
That being said, I, myself, would like to nominate Bruiser for candidacy. Now, if you could listen this time Bruiser, because this is important. The next stage of the revote would have been to take all the more notable nominees, and to allow them to have a brief debate, and a small vote for the rest of the site to choose which nominee wins the popularity contest, and can move onto candidacy. If you've got the urge to reason with other people as to why Bruiser's best for the job- don't. Just wait for the next stage.

Thank you Grief, and while it does seem like I was nominating myself I did no such thing. Just giving people a reason to nominate me. (That's why I said if other agreed) although I will admit I was a bit hasty and didn't read the instructions very well, for that I am sorry. Oh and if I can, I would like to nominate Sparkflare as a candidate as well.

I think this could have gone a little better.
Giving people a chance to put their names forwards before then going onto a voting phase/opening a poll up on the thread.

Coincidentally, this thread happens to be exactly what you just suggested. Congrats. .o. And it's looking like it's going fantastically. So, since you've posted here, would you like to actually nominate someone for candidacy, Gears?

Curveball!
with all honesty, the ones who deserve it more are working on the sidelines, helping others ic and ooc without thinking of themselves, and only doing what is fun and right for the community. I hearby nominate Taggon for a high command nomination.

Hey, I have an idea for this thread! Why don't we talk about who should be in the ranks of Autobot High Command! JK, I read up on everything on here. Just couldn't help myself up there. Welp, here I go. It's pretty obvious that they're are two types of mods/admins on this site, the way I see it, one type seems to be respectfully active and respondent, helpful, while the other type does not seem to fit into that category so well. Within the first admin and mod group listed, are rpers whom to me, seem to have fun while they rp, and do their job. These active mods and admins are creative, professional, and try their best to change the site or uphold rules. One such an per is CallMeAst♥ , whom is not only this, but an old friend. I nominate her for a position in higher standing in Autobot ranks. I also will suggest Doctor Chiro , whom also fits under the same category Astrinal does. Many appreciate her knack for detail and listening to other rpers well, I believe. I also nominate her.

That's a good one, I've rp'd with Taggon a lot before, and I can say he is truly an underrated member of this community.

Astrinal cannot take a place in the autobot High ranking until Black Sun steps down from her position as Decepticon 2iC. (I'm not trying to backseat moderate, I thought I'd just reveal that information)

I Shadow-Strike nominate myself as Prime. Now I know some of you may argue that he's a Decepticon Assassin but I would argue that's irrelevant, why you may ask. I don't know just roll with it. So yeah Shadow-Strike for Prime. (On another note I'd also like to recommend Doctor Chiro in this candidacy thing. In all seriousness the above post was a joke and I would prefer if we all keep focused on the candidacy itself rather than me, although I do appreciate having had two people vote for me. All posts after this one have been deleted due to their focus on me. Any further posts that are not focused on the Autobot High Command Revote will be deleted.)
