1. What do you think the job of the new Admin will consist of?
It's mainly about talking with Kim and Kaj. There aren't many exclusive features an admin has comparing to a mod. The main thing would be communication with the site rulers/creators. Another thing which admins can do is give or remove team badges.
2. What would you like to do as an Admin?
I would like to improve the mistranslations and help so that there won't be any miscommunication. Make this server fully English. But most of all be a mediator between the community and Kim/Kaj. That is my main goal. Although as an Admin, we personally cannot do much, we can help ensure that there is communication between these two parties.
3. Why would you like to be an Admin?
I would like to be useful. I am online and active basically all the time, so I would like to use that time in order to make things, even if by just a little, better.
4. What skills do you bring to the table that would make you a better Admin than the others?
I am fluent in both Dutch and English, which would make things easier since Kim and Kaj are Dutch. This alone would help avoid some miscommunication and moments like "Huh? What?". Other than that I work great under pressure and don't lose my calm. I am completely unbiased and impartial, I would not hesitate tell people, no matter how well I know them, get along with them or look up to them, that what they are doing/saying/the way they are behaving is improper. I do consider myself respectful and even if I don't agree with someone's POV I will say so in a respectful manner while bringing actual arguments (which I find valid, because arguments are just as subjective as anything else), I don't provoke and cause an uproar or a fight within threads, never have done so, never will. Also, since I'm really often online I can work on given tasks really quickly!
5. How will you improve the community as an Admin?
Through communication! As said, the admin function doesn't offer many great features. Admins aren't independent, they still depend on Kim and Kaj. But the biggest and greatest thing is communication. Neither Kim nor Kaj are online that often, don't reply often to mails or they take a while, may miss some great ideas which the community has. My main goal is to be able to present the ideas/complains to them. No one knows better what this site needs than the ones who are playing it.
6. What else do you want us to know about you before we vote?
No matter who you vote with, leave your biases aside and actually think of who is a suitable person for this position. I get that you may like one person more than another or that you know a person better than the rest, but it really isn't a popularity contest. Think well about your choice so that you won't complain later on about the new admin.
7. Which of the parts, that the job as an admin require, do you think would be your weakness and/or flaw? How would you work with it, and improve yourself ?
I think that would be the fact that I would depend on someone and maybe wouldn't work as fast and quickly as I'd like to. The only way to work with it is to have patience.
