  • $\begingroup$ Very pleasing to see that all the 3 people I voted for, got elected //(-_-)\\. I just couldn't find the time to read the long answers by some of the more learned candidates and voted for the candidates who provided short, direct answers to the questions -.- $\endgroup$

Congrats to the new moderators team. I am sure you will make a great job!

On a personal note, I am glad I took part in the election, and it was really a good mood going around the chat. Many great candidates.

And by the way, thanks to those who voted for me both in the primary and in the final part

Congratulations to the new moderators. I may not have been elected, but at least I can rest assured that moderation of the site is in better hands than mine - not that I would have been bad, mind you...

    $\begingroup$ We had a very strong set of candidates. I think everybody who was on the final ballot, and a couple more besides, would have been fine. $\endgroup$

As any of the Worldbuilding chat users could tell you, the election was very intense. In a good way. A large part of the candidates were spending more than 10 hours every day connected. The very first election of the site was very interesting, and curious to the worldbuilders that we are.

Anyway, long story short, we collected some statistics from the election, which I put together in a post for our blog:

Democracy Building in the Worldbuilding World

The whole process of the election is presented as well as some details on the votes attendance and results. Probably a great way to understand how elections works on Stack Exchange and how our great new team got to be elected.

If you have any question, do ask them here, or on chat, or directly on medium.
