i just want to preface this by saying i don't have a problem with anyone, you're all beautiful people and things are fine as they are, i just thought this might be fun and liven things up a little
ok so what if we voted on a sandbox owner every 2 months
it doesn't have to be a new owner, just whoever has the most support, and if it seems like the current owner and a new candidate have about the same support it goes to the newbie (to prevent business as usual)
idk how you guys like voting on stuff you can figure that out but the general idea is just a bimonthly election
bebop wants you to think he's giving you 10 upvotes but in reality he's cleverly utilizing power dynamics to solidify in your mind that he's worth 10 upvotes, and that you're the one seeking his approval for coveted upvotes not the other way around
real mods are even more dangerous than role mods because it's less obvious that their sole purpose is to subjugate us and actually moderating is just a distraction from upvoting
i don't think there's anything wrong with the same owner being around for long periods, but they should be someone who actively uses the lobby and does things to keep the place entertaining, like cub did before she stepped down
I think the period should be extended from 2 months to maybe 4 or 5? Or make it biannual?

it's really hard to make sure that the voting isn't trolled though or that people don't vote for their circlejerk friends
i think someone brought up a "board" of people helping decide and i still think that's a good idea, it could be comprised of past lobby owners/mods/etc, the current lobby owner would also have a say
i agree with lobby owner being changed semi-frequently though it stops things from getting stale!!!
It'd also be difficult to have the change without some sort of regiment? Like nothing stops the owner from stopping it from happening, or changing around the rules, and then it'll just be annoying if we need weekly admin intervention
every time owner switching season comes up it totally consumes the lobby and everyone's always discontent with stuff at that time, I don't think it'd work because people will always vote their friends or themselves over an actual good option, the aforementioned chaos that comes with switching owners often, the fact that nothing stops someone refusing to comply once they are passed the lobby, and other stuff pushed me towards saying no to owner elections.
While I think this is a great idea, I'm concerned about how voting wil go to really prevent people from cheating and I don't think we can trust that people will not vote for their friends. Idk. Totally dependent on execution
