Yes, an adversarial system does seem to be quite strange.
I am actually already sysop, having requested it for interface translation months ago.
While I'm sure Dmitriid would have no problem nominating either me or Jeorjika, and I would have no problem nominating either, I'm not sure Jeorjika would nominate me as the whole purpose of his campaign seems to have been to replace me because of my alleged hatred for Romanians, and my failure to "satisfy the community", despite the fact that there _is_ no community.

Hi all,
Currently there is a sysop election on mowiki, where 3 candidates are pitted against each other rather than being voted on separately: Me, Dmitriid, and Jeorjika.
This I find a strange situation. Especially when there is a situation with different parties, the best solution seems to be to have representers of all sides be made sysops rather than vote between them (unless there is a comromise candidate acceptable for all).
Could you perhaps try to resolve the situation by promising that if you get elected, you will nominate the other candidates for sysophood as well, and ask them to make a similar promise in return?
