Okay, I would like to thank those of you who have suggested my name for adminship. Also, I'd like to thank those of you who did not, because without you, I'd have no blind ambition to go after a promotion. Anyway, the main point of this comment is to express who I think deserves adminship (I'm not suggesting they all become admins, but the ones I list are people I have confidence in).

1) The Anonymous User. Yeah, I'm sure I'll take some flak for suggesting one of my friends, but I see TAU as a reliable and respectful user. He's been around for a while, compared to the lifespan of the wiki itself. I find experience important in this kind of situation. I mean, I'd rather have someone who has a stable, healthy existence on the wiki than a fairly new wikian because the experienced user has already shown that they'll be here for a while. The new wikian may edit every day, and many have been here for a few months, but look at the admins who are gone. They were the same way. Its entirely possible that TAU will quit the wiki one day (as I'm sure we all will, the more and more TD moves into obscurity), but he seems like the kind of user who would notify us and allow time to find a replacement, rather than just vanishing.

2) Lalainee is in the same boat as TAU. She is one of the most respectful users here. And, in my opinion, she is one of the most deserving of respect. Neither she or TAU have stories of their own, but that could also work as an advantage. When you aren't writing a story, your schedule is, in theory, that much more flexible and free to handle any admin duties you take on.

3) Gideon. Ah, the Gandalf of our wiki. A lot of people have suggest him already, so I won't go into much detail about why he deserves it, since that seems apparent. I know he's declined before, and judging by his comment below, he is not actively seeking adminship (but will allow himself to be drafted). Despite that, I still think he is a solid, and worthy candidate.

4) Myself. Yeah, I know. What an ego, right? But, consider this. I've been here longer than most of the current users, I've established myself in the community, and I've never caused any hub-bub. (I like that expression). I feel as though I have what it takes to be an admin, should I be selected.
