Things Heating Up Fast
This is looking to be the best election since Garf v.s Ak both sides in heated debates chat leaks and everything who is to be trusted no one knows! A truly exciting race.

The Standing So Far
After many recent polls the two top candidates are Chase and Moonmnan. Moon has the support of the staff and many of the older users while chase has the support of gen 5. With a few exceptions on both side. Other candidates are laying low with very few supporters. In the crat election Henry seems to be the top choice right now but neither side has done much campaigning so we will see.

Chase Exposed?
Young and Moon have released many concerning messages received from chase claiming chase is guilt tripping many people into voting for him. Chase denies these accusations as a mere joke, and told young to go to discord if he wished to argue. This election is heating up fast.

New Mod Advertisements!
Mod candidates can now edit to try and get their advertisments on the home page!

Obi-Wan's Take On The Mod Candidates
Hey obi here im gonna break down each candidate all their pros and cons and my rankings of each. Enjoy

Martysays
Martsays is a gen 5 user who quickly made a name for himself. He has a great personality decent stats but not to much experience on the wiki. He also as far as I know has no experience with templates but makes up for that with his knowledge of css. Overall his stats are not even close to some of his candidates such as chase, 0 avatar and moon man. But otherwise solid candidate and my personal top 3.

Moonman
Moonman is in my head the best candidate right now. His stats don't even compare to everyone else's and his exsperience is far more than all the other canidates. He has already been an admin under the Zach and Ak administration and did a decent job. His only downfall in my eyes is staff relations. Recently he has called out staff on a few things but I don't believe the tension will last for young. Overall solid candidate my top choice right now

Chase
Chase is a weird spot for me. His stats are definitely solid but are still worse than moon man, his experience is pretty good as he was in staff v.s users 2020 and the Awqua event. In terms of personality its a flip flop tbh when I first met him he was kinda annoying but now is kind and helpful. Kinda like ak. Overall middle ground candidate but a solid choice.

23Aee
I don't know much about him, his stats are whatever nothing to write home about and no template knowledge that I know of. He does show good knowledge of css though which is promising. I can't talk much of his personality as we haven't really talked. I would say a middle ground candidate but like the rest a solid choice.

0 avatar
0 avatar is a great candidate. His stats are the best of gen 5 but otherwise thats all I got for him. Idk much about his personality and I haven't seen anything suggesting css or template knowledge. Solid middle ground Candidate.

MartSays
Honestly, I have no idea. He seems nice enough, and he has a respectable amount of posts and edits. Sort of like the middle ground for me. Not too bad, but not too good

Moon man
I think in basically every way, moon man beats out all the other candidates. He has more experience, edits, posts, and has a decent personality. The only problem that he might face is the “give them a chance argument”. I honestly think that point is really faulty as it is, but it could still be a roadblock on his campaign. This is the candidate I’m supporting.

Chase
Chase is a wild card. I’ve talked extensively with him on Discord, and he’s nice enough. A bit annoying at times, but not unbearably irritating. The part about him that irks me is that he is (mostly) the person that’s pushing the “give them a chance” argument. Overall, he has good stats. I can’t remember if he knows any CSS, but that probably won’t affect my vote.

0 Avatar
I think 0 Avatar has good stats as well, but he’s not that noticeable and hasn’t made an application yet (as of writing this). Middle ground candidate for me.

23Aee
Don’t know about this dude. He’s a bit sensitive to cussing, which is problematic is you’re going to be a thread mod, as him becoming one would probably mean censored cusses. Decent stats, just meh for me.

Hashiuga's Predictions
So far, the Mod Election has been kinda rough, a lot of candidates mostly gen 5 have been running, with Moon Man and Chase being the sole non-gen 5 candidates. In my opinion, Moon Man will blow everyone else out of the water. As we have seen from his poll

https://big-nate-comments.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000000284635

That as of May 10th, 2021, Moon Man has 67% of the wiki on his side, with Chase 50 percent behind, and MartSays, with one vote, and 23Aee and OMGDayt looking very unpopular, now, let's jump into this.

Why Moon Man Will win
First of all, I'm not saying this is completely set in stone, just what I think so far. Moon man is FAR superior in pretty much every way, he has experience on this wiki, was admin under two administrations, and his edits are miles head of the other candidates. He is seemed to be like by a LOT of the current staff, with 2 of the 4 admins (Only 2 have voted) on his side. When you have an admin, who have proved themselves and have gotten a large amount of power and influence. The admins have a lot of leeway when it comes to terms of promoting. So when Obi-wan posted a bit of propaganda, I was thinking, "Gosh, Moon Man has won." This doesn't mean he necessarily has, with the mod elections so early on, this is probably the best time for other candidates to sway (haha, pun) people's opinions. In about a month, my prediction is that the Elections will be decided. (MOD ONLY)

Why I support Chase
Chase is not necessarily the best in my opinion, but should be mod. Moon man has been mod and admin A LOT,which means he should give other users a try, which is one of the reasons I am voting for Chase. In my opinion, Chase is nice, and would be good fit for thread mod because of how active he is. I mean, in the past week, he had 1.2k posts, which is absurd. You're probably wondering, the Gen 5 users running are JUST as active as Chase, but experience is where they have a drop. Chase has been on for a YEAR now, while the gen 5 users have been in this wiki for a couple months at best. I could use CSS and coding to completely BOOST them out of the election, but mods don't need coding knowledge.

Those are my predictions so far!

Overall Standings so far

 * 1) Moon Man
 * 2) Chase
 * 3) MartSays
 * 4) 0 Avatar
 * 5) 23Aee

Aee23's Predictions
Now, I know I'm not a great candidate, but I think the rest are. So here are my predictions:

Chase and Moonman will probably get into an extremely tight battle, but in the end, Chase will lose. MartSays will gain a few votes but still not get even close to winning. 0 Avatar will be about the same as MartSays, but with a few less votes.

I will obviously have no votes.

Why I'm supporting Chase:

He's the first person I really knew on the wiki, and he is very nice and helpful. However, I don't really talk with him much.

I'm also supporting 0 Avatar because he is very nice, he's moderately experienced, a good friend, and has wayyyy too many edits.
