Need Admins ASAP
I need one or two people to assist with administration. Because of my timezone and work responsibilities, it's rare that I can actually get on the Wiki when someone else is, and it's clear that that's causing problems. If you're interested in becoming an admin, please write a brief message here; don't delay, as I'd like to get this sorted within 24 hours. Thank you for your help. '''R A 2 ; aka Resetti's Replicas.

I was considering applying last night, but I didn't want to do so at the same time as the Heat L scandal.

I have now been on the wiki for over 2 years, making over 4000 edits and getting to be a judge in the arena. I visit the wiki multiple times a day, just to see what's been edited, and to follow The Arena tournament.

I founded and have all the powers on this wiki, so I know how to use the Admin powers.

I would like to use the powers to cleanup some unnecessary pages and images, and to help out where possible.

CombatWombat555's opinions
First things first, I'm not seeking to become an admin: I'm off to university in the autumn and I expect my free time to evaporate, certainly enough that I couldn't give enough time to administrate properly. Jimlaad43, you would have my backing for admin, but I'm not sure that now is the right time: you've been involved in some volatile situations recently, whether of your own doing or not, and I think things need to cool off a bit first. After then, yes, you would have my vote.

Until then, I would like to nominate Drop Zone mk2- he has been a constant presence on the wiki for ages now, making consistently high quality edits, and I feel he would be a responsible admin. I should point out that these are entirely my own views, and have not spoken with him about this nomination- feel free to decline. Combatwombat555 (talk) 19:12, July 16, 2015 (UTC)

ToastUltimatum's opinions
I don't think the need is as desperate as RA2 makes out; Between himself, me and ManUCrazy, we have most timezones covered, particularly as I quit work in a little over a week. We can certainly last more than 24 hours. But if someone writes a decent proposal, I can be swayed. If Jimlaad wishes to go forth with his thoughts, I'd like to see an RfA done in the proper manner when he feels the time is appropriate. Toast Ultimatum  19:17, July 16, 2015 (UTC)
 * I thought RA2 said that he wasn't able to come as often as he wanted to because of timezone issues and real life?
 * Moving back on topic, I probably won't put my name down now due to inactivity here over the past few years and the fact that I'm admin on two other wikis. If you guys encounter another pinch point in the future though, maybe I'll stick my name down and hope for the best haha  STORM  II   22:04, July 16, 2015 (UTC)


 * Honestly kinda concurring here. Toast and ManU seem fairly active, and even if RA2 has to reduce his activity, I get the feeling that they can still handle things? I mean, I could be wrong. If we're definitely going for a new admin, I can't really vote, given I've only been back for a few months and I don't really know most of you whippersnappers, but I trust your judgements when it comes to selecting them.  /M|ddle Eye\  (Talk)    22:24, July 16, 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh, is that the case? You have my apologies, I've implied that there were no other admins present.  I'll support Jim, but leave the final decisioning to one of you two. R A 2 ; aka Resetti's Replicas.  ( My Talk ) 22:38, July 16, 2015 (UTC)
 * Is this still open? If so, I'd like to put up my own request. RelicRaider (talk) 12:55, July 19, 2015 (UTC)
 * There's never a time where you can't make an RfA. We'll need to archive all of this first, but once that's done (I'll do it when I'm sure this won't get any more responses), you can make it here. Provided it is for yourself, that is, we're past the stage of nominating others. Toast  Ultimatum  19:08, September 2, 2015 (UTC)
