I am sorry, I stopped doing that. £`£^£e£o£e£f£jπ£\?£_£`£d£\* 01:58, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

I wasn't trying to be sharp with the above comment, I was only trying to apologize. I know that my behavior was wrong, so I said I was sorry. I wasn't trying to talk to you meanly. I tried to stop doing that. £`£^£e£o£e£f£jπ£\?£_£`£d£\* 02:30, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

(See Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/Encyclopedist)

You don't yet see my general attitude. It doesn't matter to me what you said; it is only that you said anything here in response to my oppose vote. You have now made two personal comments in response; if it were possible for me to intensify my opposition, I would.

Please see Misplaced Pages:What adminship is not; this is a policy proposal I support strongly. Adminship is not a trophy; failure to be granted admin privs does not mean you are a bad editor. Adminship is not an entitlement; no matter how valuable you have been to the project, you do not deserve adminship -- nobody does.

Adminship is a position of trust and requires a cool head at all times. Editors can do many things here but admin actions belong to a special category; it is almost impossible to perform any admin action without somebody taking offense. For me, a key trait of good admin candidates is to ignore insults great and small. React to threats to the project, not to one's own dignity. You don't have this quality; you suggest to me a person who may overreact at a critical time. You may be a very valuable editor, but I cannot support you as an admin. Sorry.

Following the comments above, a number of unsigned comments appeared on this page in swift succession (see history), all by 65.35.196.0 (talk · contribs). I have no way of knowing whether this is the nominee speaking or not.

I want to e-mail you later, I have a lot of thoughts spinning around in my head. I gave up on adminship. I refuse to edit for an encyclopedia that, unfortunately, includes people of your low caliber, attitude and intelligence. I hope the worse for you and anything you try to do in life, take care.

I have never heard something so idiotic: you oppose people more when they try to talk the problem over, and you say it is overreacting. How can people negotiate with you, when you are considering that to be belligerent toward you. Don't argue with it, it is bullshit, and you are wrong. I don't care anymore about you think or anyone else here, because I refuse to edit here anymore. I honestly see why people would rather vandalize after dealing with people like you. Misplaced Pages would be better without you. You tell me that you would oppose me more if you could is like me saying I would stick needles in a voodoo doll of you if I could. Then you make some stupid political statement about it. Hell is too cold for people like you.

I am already happy to know that you are already a miserable, unintelligent, and most likey, worthless person in life that gets off on other people's misery.

Whatever, sorry that I had the bad luck of meeting you.

For the record, let me emphasize -- for the benefit of all nominees: I may support your RfA; I may oppose; I may make a neutral comment; I may overlook the nomination entirely. In no case do I judge your value as an editor or your worth as a human being; only my estimation of your probable success as an admin. I hope that all my comments are well-reasoned; but they are all only one man's opinion. They carry no special weight and I can't see why anyone would make any effort to alter them. You're welcome to reply to my comments where appropriate; but the only reason I can see for you to reply here is if you feel my behavior is an issue. Otherwise, I'll take it as evidence of a thin skin -- a poor quality for a prospective admin to display. John Reid 17:58, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Nice job with the card set! Ouuplas 07:02, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks; I'm glad you like it. They're really only a stopgap, though.

If you'd like to help out on this page, I can think of two things that need doing badly:

• Get images and permissions for use from game mfr and others -- cards and whole game sets. Good images of even one or two cards from each deck would be great.

• Research history of game, especially Touring and related games. Nothing exists in a vacuum.

Any kind of help of course -- I don't want to do this all on my lonesome. John Reid 19:21, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for your support on my RFA. I do appreciate it. For the record, it is my typing skills that suck. lol. Thanks again.Gator (talk) 13:17, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Well, you're a shoo-in. All I mean to say is to build on your strengths. My grammar is pretty good, so I do a lot of copyediting; I know how to research and verify information so I do fact-checking. I know very little about most subjects, so I don't try to debate involved points of fact. Whatever you do, I only hope you will do impartially; and break a sweat.

My RFA

Thank you for commenting on my RFA. I appreciated the comments and will endeavor to improve with my new sysop status. If there's ever anything I can do to help, please don't hesitate to contact me. --Myles Long 15:11, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

I do think you need more experience in project namespace; but I couldn't go so far as to oppose; you may do well and I can't say. I do strongly suggest you pick one or two areas in project and get involved -- but please don't just run up your project edit count. I look for substance not appearance. Good Luck!

Smurrayinchester's RFA

Thank you, John Reid
	for voting in my RFA. It passed with a result of 100/1/0. Thanks for your vote! If you have any comments, please say so here. smurrayinchester 19:29, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Doesn't look like you needed much help! Congratulations; now go get that broom and go to work. John Reid 22:41, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

re: 67.8.235.146

Looks like you got it under control. — Mar. 24, '06 <freakofnur_xture|talk>

He's made 3 edits today, which you reverted with one edit, and done nothing since then. Let me know if it gets more serious, like adding swear words or penii or something. — Mar. 24, '06 <freakofnur_xture|talk>

Makemi RfA

Thank you for voting on my RfA. It passed with a consensus to promote of 45/7/1. To those of you concerned about the fact that I am a relative newcomer, I encourage you to poke me with a sharp stick if I make a mistake. Or better yet, let me know on my talk page, and I'll do my best to fix it. Makemi 04:47, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations! I hope to see you hard at work. John Reid 20:42, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

My RfA

Sorry. Don't worry about it; adminship is no big deal. You're just a little new. Another 3-6 months of good work and you should be a shoo-in. John Reid 20:46, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

My RFA

I regret doing this :-( But I believe you opposed my RFA based on evidence brought by User:Stockdiver. Just to let you know if your oppose was concluded by evidence by Stockdiver, you should be aware that Stockdiver is a abusive sockpuppet of a known vandal, Mcfly85. And that the evidence brought up was from December. Thought I would let you know... Moe ε 03:54, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
