It baffles me how people can be so gullible. Rumour of the supposed "uprising" circulated through the copy/paste of a Skype convo. Pearson said it. Pearson. Not one of us. No screenshot, no sketchy chat PMs, just something Pearson said on Skype. How does that have any legitimacy? Answer: it shouldn't, and it doesn't.

As for my bur request, I was just as surprised to see at as anybody else. Indeed I did not see it coming, and as much as I was touched that John would write it, I'm frankly glad it failed, given current happenings.

So, in short, John is right in that there's nothing really going on. His bur request for me was random and completely on his own accord. You don't have to believe me, but that's the truth.

Now to address the current demotion and promotion requests. The reason Nults had a demotion request was because, well, he told everybody to go firetruck themselves in chat. That pretty much speaks for itself. He resigned anyways. G's demotion request is a bit more complicated. Mallace's promotion was because, well, we had just lost two chat moderators and needed one to replace them. Mallace simply happened to be the most viable candidate with the highest and greatest potential, as agreed by the administration.

Speaking of which, nobody get mad at Mallace, he has nothing to do with any of this.

I'll say here what I said to Par earlier. I don't care if I'm a bureaucrat, vice president, or even an admin at all. Right now, I only have one goal: keep Pearson's influence on the wiki to a minimum. And, quite honestly, it doesn't feel right for our vice president's user page to look like this: =G-man.= ==aka  Indoctrinated By Pearson== ADMIN  VICE PRESIDENT 6,694 EDITS SINCE JOINING THIS WIKI APRIL 3, 2011 
 * I LIVE IN  Spain
 * MY OCCUPATION IS  Serving Pearson
 * I AM  ordered by Pearson

(At least that's my opinion.)
