Mscoree
Well, Mscoree is a wonderful user who tries really hard to keep this wiki going at all times. He is in the top ten editors and has shown dedication to be on there, with his map game Night of the Living Alternate History joining one of the elite in finishing successfully. He is very active and his Doomsday articles are good even though they still have a few problems. He has also worked very hard on his Yellowstone articles and has helped expand the timeline considerably. He is seen as a generally positive influence on the Community TL. He was nominated once when he was slight immature, but he has really improved since then, and has begun attempts to build bridges with users he was fallen out with in the past. He is a great guy helping me out whenever I need help and even when I am super annoying. He also helps to put spam pages up for deletion and helps out to tell about annoying anons. That is why I believe Ms should be Constable. OCT MARIUS, HAIL HIM  01:36, November 20, 2013‎

 * Regardless of very obvious historical issues he has had with people i believe he has shaped up well, and would be a great addition as constable, ive had a great time getting things together for the Yellowstone TL with him and have seen noticeable improvement in behavior. The Unchallenged Conqueror #FP (Talk to Me)
 * Mscoree seems to be a great and active contributor to our wiki. Despite problems in the past, he has become much more active and mature in the time following his previous nomination. He frequently works on many timelines, and has modded in many map games, is the top non-TSPF contributor besides Iwaschris, and helps people out around the wiki, most notably adding categories, and frequently giving feedback on pages. Due to this, I believe he should be made Constable. phyrexia_symbol.png Yawgmoth, Lord of the Wastes phyrexia_symbol.png
 * He seems pretty fair, and has good grammar (more than I can say about other people on this wiki), and he's a friend. For these reasons (and ulterior motives) I support him fully. Daxus Inferno (talk) 01:52, November 20, 2013 (UTC)

 * I like him, but he's clearly not ready. I mean, remember his thing- not even a month ago - on the TSPTF page? Every Silver Lining has its Cloud...  (And here I am!)
 * What thing? You mean when I made an appeal to the TSPTF in accordance with the rules? Mscoree (talk) 20:52, November 20, 2013 (UTC)
 * How much longer can you possibly wait? You never are ready, just ready enough, as they say. MS has demonstrated an unprecedented and unrivaled dedication to the wiki, at one point even making over 1,000 edits in one week. He has dozens of pages, in dozen of timelines. There's a reason that new contributors contact him as opposed to some of the admins on the site. NonEuclidean (talk) 21:11, November 20, 2013 (UTC)
 * So, a lot has already been said about Ms. I sincerely consider him to be a great guy, although I wasn't his friend right away. We were not too close, but he was a leader of a whole community, which he still (arguably) can be said to lead. He has been recognized through NotLAH and now FMG. He helps a ton with YS. Frequently on chat, he really gets a chance to communicate with the users of this wiki. Lately, his behavior (I spelled it the British way on accident first!), not that it was bad to start with, has really been worthy of the TSPTF. He is a great guy, as I have said. He has my full support, and I wish the TSPTF considers Ms as he is now - a thing I feel is important for all users nominated to the office. Thanks you for hearing me out! He has my vote, and I hope he has your vote also. [User:Reximus55] [User talk:Reximus55] 22:25, November 20, 2013 (UTC) (Does LG get a vote, since that would be a bit biased?)
 * Of course LG gets a vote. All votes are biased, in real life and here. 22:28, November 20, 2013 (UTC)
 * When I say idiot I mean that he doesn't learn. Not that he's stupid. Also, by that comparison, all the people who are friends with Ms don't get a vote either Also, Rex, your sig be screwing up the page.
 * Just so we're clear, everyone who means the requirements gets a vote. Mscoree (talk) 23:09, November 20, 2013 (UTC)
 * This probably isn't the best time to voice this opinion, but I'd just like to say I'm not a big fan of the weighted vote system. Even though I've already gotten seventeen votes, it's still almost impossible for me to win, since if just two or three TSPTF members vote no then I require a practically unfeasible amount of TSPTF votes yes. Just something to think about. Mscoree (talk) 00:30, November 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * I agree on the flawed voting system. It would be the equivalent of having 2/3rds of Congress approve any new congressman + the vote of the people. Daxus Inferno (talk) 01:05, November 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * It is kinda like modern unknown dictators like Vladimir Putin, who has made it law to run for an office u gotta have the Dumas approval. So basically Putin's party stays in power  No matter what the people think  FLAWED. Now everyone say what u think.

 * Okay slow down, but I see what you're saying. Mscoree (talk) 02:02, November 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * Rex, lose that thing. I have removed it from this page, and I don't want to see it ever again. Seriously, that is just insane. Ms, do not screw up the layout like that ever again. OM, read the rules next time. Lordganon (talk) 12:08, November 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * I have removed the signature without an actual name on it, and because Dax wrote his on there twice, I removed both of them as well. Feel free to write your names on there again, but actually make it a username and don't sign it twice again. Lordganon (talk) 12:08, November 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * There is nothing "weighted" about our system. It is specifically designed to head off attempts by people that have basically nothing here from spamming through a bad nomination over the objections of the staff. So, in other words, exactly this situation. Lordganon (talk) 12:20, November 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * Overall, I have to say that virtually none of the claims about what Ms has been doing are in fact true. All his attempts to "help" have been a nuisance, and not been even remotely helpful. Lordganon (talk) 12:20, November 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry I made the discussion section its own subsection. There was a lot of comments. Can you add those people's votes back that you removed? Also the system you just described makes it "weighted". Basically some votes are more valuable than others. Mscoree (talk) 14:11, November 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * I added the people LG removed back up for the time being. They can re-add themselves when they get around to it. Mscoree (talk) 17:00, November 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * The weighted vote system... *sigh*... is a poll of the most respected members of the wiki in addition to that of regular members. Well, when I say 'respected' I mean it loosely. We're counting Scraw in that category after all xDD  The Mighty Guns is too Glorious (or lazy) to go to source mode and type out his real sig  (Dammit, Guns!)  20:02, November 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * It's not a poll, it's a vote. Certain votes are separated. Mscoree (talk) 20:58, November 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * "Every thing u say about MS is Wrong", ha LG r u trying to be funny because for all I know  U have never even talked to Ms on chat  I get it LG you do a lot for this wiki but when the people want a leader  Give them one.  Everything I have said about MS is true. He is ninth on the leader board. He helps me a lot, his Doomsday and Yellowstone articles  ARE  awesome. He did bring many new users in, for example how many people do u see who started around the same time on here  and are still on here?  He is active in map games Ava R-word, plays as Italy. Also last but not least  He was immature last time  but now he is not. For example has he done a stupid thing like alternate History memes recently, NO! Plus when you guys deleted some of them I lost my cool thing on my page that showed my picture with  HAIL MARIUS . It was really cool.

 * Motion? Motion to stop Oct from being allowed to even post on this page? Any seconds?  23:53, November 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * Let Oct rant. God knows all of us have. Mscoree (talk) 00:48, November 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't mind rants, as long as they make sense. Also, frankly, this is embarrassing. The behaviour of many of these editors would have resulted in bans on many other wikis and for that matter should have here.  00:51, November 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * Oct and folks are just voicing their opinion, much like how you are. No need to get banned for that. Mscoree (talk) 00:55, November 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * There's a difference between voicing your opinion and what they are doing. And you, Ms, know that I am not talking about Oct.  01:02, November 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * I really wish this little feud between LG and Ms would stop so TSPTF could focus on more important things than their petty squabbles. Isn't there some way you both could come to some sort of compromise? And Oct, dear Christ. Stop posting.  Flag_of_HRE_(The_Kalmar_Union).svg.png Labarum.jpg CrimsonAssassin- "I have special eyes" 01:45, November 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * It seems that several people (including myself) are in favor of resolving any conflict with Lordganon, which is why I have decided to seek out mediation. The two of us and several mediators will be attempting to resolve this dispute hopefully in a mature and civil fashion over the course of the next few days. I for one look forward to discussing with Lordganon, and hope that we can put this silly feud behind us. Mscoree (talk) 00:52, November 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * I am going to be rather blunt with this, as the 'new kid' I feel as though I caught the end of this whole issue that has gone down between Lordganon and Mscoree, but in all honesty I don't give a rat's ass what happened. I feel as though Mscoree would be just fine, I don't have any problems with him, and people need to put their egos aside, I joined this wiki so I could be around people who enjoy alternate history just as much as me and I've met some great members. What I don't want to see is this wiki torn apart by petty nonsense. User:LightningLynx89
 * I think the election system needs reform. Any system where some one can get 24 votes to 6 and still lose is broken. Lordganon even said the sytem was "designed to head off attempts by people that have basically nothing here from spamming through a bad nomination over the objections of the staff." So in other words the system is designed to make sure only people the staff like get in. NonEuclidean (talk) 15:09, November 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * ^ No sh*t. Anyway, you could (theoretically) get a 75% majority in the UK, and not be voted in. I think it is probably similar in the USA, if you look closely.
 * NonEuc, there's a simple argument to that. One of the supporters is Oct, and the other is Warman. Together they count for -20 votes. Therefore Ms loses, actually; 4-6.
 * Yes in the United States there is a less than ideal voting system, but we shouldn't be striving for that. Mscoree (talk) 21:03, November 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * What are his critics objecting to here? A new comer that might achieve great things? He has no reason to dislike the TSPTF once he's in it.... If you can't beat them join them. The responsiblity may improve him. How about a trial period? It has no preccedent, I know, but it may satisfy all parties.He does work hard, even if some say on the wrong things. TSPF would benefit from his work ethic and he would benefit from the task. David Rain (Sometimes...) (talk) 20:30, November 29, 2013 (UTC)']
 * The trouble with Ms is that he has a horrific case of foot-in-mouth.  23:16, November 29, 2013 (UTC)

 * I put their names back per request. I'll inform them that they have to revote a third time. Mscoree (talk) 21:55, November 30, 2013 (UTC)

CourageousLife
Cour is one of the most respected map gamers on this wiki, and indeed is one of the steadying influencing on the wild implausogasms of some of our more recent members *wink*. He's also had bountiful experience dealing with trolls and idiots, as he has moderated several map games where these species are more common. Come to think of it, he's had bountiful experience in general, having spent nigh on two years on the wiki. Who else signs off like this?

Impeachment
It is entirely possible that a member of the TSTPF may neglect his duties and/or abuse their power. If this happens they must have their user rights removed. To keep it fair, the following procedure has been adopted.

Rules

 * User who feels a TSPTF member should be impeached from his position, must first contact the TSPTF on their talk page with their complaint and attempt to work out the issue with them.
 * If user refuses to accept any compromise from the TSTPF he may then bring up the TSPTF member for impeachment.
 * Impeaching user must explain why he thinks the TSPTF member should have his user rights removed.
 * Registered users' votes must have two-third supermajority to impeach a TSPTF member (Only users who have been registered for over a month — from the day the nomination is put forth — are counted).
 * TSPTF members’ votes must have a two-third supermajority to impeach a TSPTF member.

To view past impeachments, see the archive.

Reasons
There are only a few recognized reasons why a TSPTF member should have his user rights removed:
 * They are not actively participating as a member of the TSPTF.
 * They have not been carrying out the responsibilities they volunteered for.
 * They have have not been fair, restrained, and/or constructive in their dealings with other editors.
 * They consistently refuse to follow the conventions and guidelines of this community.

Note: One of these reasons alone is probably not enough to impeach a TSPTF member. Consider that before demanding an impeachment.
