[1] Level 18 Half-Elf Paladin | More than there are drops in the ocean | True Neutral | I like Balloonman. To put it simply, he is simply brilliant. I feel that Balloonman is the best candidate for ArbCom this year. |  Strong support

[2] Level 16 Goblin Assassin | More than there are stars in heaven | Lawful Neutral | I like the Cavalry. His late-in-the-day flanking maneuver at the Battle of Biscotti Gap opened up the enemy's left wing and set him in rout. He then brilliantly followed up this tactical victory with a vigorous pursuit, while being pursued himself. The pursuing went on and on and on, but ultimately, Cavalry caught up and the horse unbuckled brilliantly, flared his nostrils, lifted its hind legs and began to... oh wait, this is Casliber's slot. Sigh, anyway, I feel that Cavalry is the best candidate for ArbCom this year. | Strong support

[3] Level 21 Orc Ranger | More than there are blades of grass in the steppe | In flux | I like Casliber. The incident with the Wallachian Gypsies was long time in the past and anyway, he has a soul now. Since then he has been brilliantly drafting 1500+ character statements on the most fascinating subjects and has become an Epee National Champion in the Republic of Kampuchea. Clearly, he is the best candidate for ArbCom this year. | Strong support

[4] Level 16 Human Barbarian | More than the GDP of Sri Lanka | Lawful Evil | I like David. It's true that I am perhaps a little bit less familiar with his work than with that of some of the others but what I've seen has been, well, not to put to much spin on it, brilliant. David is not only a brilliant guy, but also extremely knowledgeable, friendly, outgoing, helpful, handsome, modest, insightful, intellectual, down to earth, sophisticated, well educated, well mannered, well behaved, well groomed, well tempered, well done and very healthy. He is thus very unlikely to get sick on us and miss days of work if on the Committee. Because of that I feel that David is the best candidate for ArbCom this year. | Strong support

| Elen_of_the_Roads • talk • contribs • logs • block log • editcount • rights |
[5] Level 13 Hafling Bard | More than there are moments in all lifetimes | Chaotic Lawful | I like Elen. I did not support her the last time she ran for this highly coveted spot, but since then she has done all the right things, all the good things, and all the best things. Her performance has been bristellar. And also stebrilliant. She has said the right things. She has thought the right things. She has sung the right songs. In a very melodic, yet somewhat sorrowful voice, slightly reminiscent of early Slayer. She would be an amazing addition to the Committee and I'm sure all the other brilliant members that remain will welcome her as a fellow pear. Elen is the best candidate for ArbCom this year. | Strong support

| FT2 • talk • contribs • logs • block log • editcount • rights |
[6] Level 28 Elf Sorcerer | More than Infinity squared and divided by zero | Neutral | I like FT2. Ever since he got that A+ in 5th grade PE class he has wanted to be an Arbitrator and ever since then I sincerely wished him well. His climb up that vengeful mountain has been Sisyphian at times, the heavy stone tumbled back down but FT2 persevered and picked it up again. And now he is offering to once again share his brilliance with us. Let us not knock that stone from this Sisyphus again. Let his task be at an end. Let him join the Committee, as he is clearly the best candidate running this year. | Strong support

[7] Level 14/15 Dwarven Dual Classed Figher/Cleric | More than 13211438943782234530994 millions | Lawful Neutral, tending Evil | I like George. I like William. And I even like Herbert. A man's mustache is his own business, however ill advised the aesthetic considerations may be. Stalin had a mustache, and what a wacky guy he was. A robust display of upper lip hair has been a hallmark of leadership from Genghis Khan to Vincente Fox and Georgewilliamherbert upholds this brilliant tradition. He is clearly the best candidate for ArbCom this year. | Strong support

[8] Level 34 Gnome Rogue | More than enough | Chaotic Good | I like Giano. Oscar Wilde once said "Modesty is for those who have nothing to be modest about". Heed his words Giano! You have been too shy for far too long. You have many brilliant qualities which need to shine all through out the land of Wikipedia, shine into its darkest corners. Illuminate these pages with your brilliance, engulf us in your soft warm glow, make us see that which was unseen to all but yourself. Stretch out your hand above these poor wretched masses, toiling in squalor, abused as villeins on these manorial estates of darkness, and give them your light. Lead them, for they need your lead. Feed them for they need your feed. Tell them for they need your wisdom. You are clearly the best candidate for ArbCom this year. | Strong support

| Harej • talk • contribs • logs • block log • editcount • rights |
[9] A Yeti | Only 1, but what an extraordinary edit that was | Neutral Evil (sorry, somebody had to be) | I like Harej. His vast experience and brilliance will make him a welcome addition to the Committee. He has traveled on many roads, but not with Elen. He has seen much. His gaze is now sad and heavy after all that he has seen. He has seen so much in fact that it would make an ordinary man's gaze even sadder and heavier. He casts his sight upon this Wikipedia and sees much good to be done, many stones to be lifted, but not FT2's stone. He out experiences all others and so is the best candidate for ArbCom this year. | Strong support

[10] Level 2 Hobgoblin Hermit | 42 | Chaotic Good | I like Iridescent. | Strong support

| Jclemens • talk • contribs • logs • block log • editcount • rights |
[11] Level 99 Luftballons | If you knew you'd drop dead from amazement right on the spot | Neutral Good | I like Jclemens, despite the fact that he started out by spray painting stray dogs and selling them as pure breds to dim witted society ladies. He's come a long way since then. He's since hit upon the brilliant idea of using hair dye instead, and presenting his canine creations as modern art pieces. Some might call this riding Damian Hearst's coat tails but there's nothing wrong with being a hanger on if you hang on to the right thing. And boy, can Jclemens hang. As such he is just the best candidate for ArbCom this year. | Strong support

| John_Vandenberg • talk • contribs • logs • block log • editcount • rights |
[12] Level 24 Flemish Scribe | More than | 2004-09-05 | I like John, despite his Hohenzollern connections. He stems from a long dynasty of brilliant orators, muck rakers, trough feeders, sun worshipers, debt relievers, iron chancellors, riboflavin consumers, weight watchers, and sentient robots. He has combed the beaches of Wikipedia with his trusty metal detector and found many a rare coin, as well as my lost keys. When he looks into your eyes you see unfathomable depths of wisdom, a sparkle of brilliance, and some symptoms of early glaucoma. He walks with a steady gait, but also a confident swagger. He wears size 15 shoes, which makes him the best candidate for ArbCom this year. | Strong support

| Loosmark • talk • contribs • logs • block log • editcount • rights |
[13] Multi-class, at least one class of each level and each race | Do you really want to know? | Chaotic Neutral | I like Loosmark. Loosmark is a very multifaceted editor. He is many brilliant facets. | Strong support
| |
| Newyorkbrad • talk • contribs • logs • block log • editcount • rights |
[14] An Administrator on Flemish Wiki | More than there are atoms in the ether | Neutral Good | I like Brad. Tis in dark times as this that we turn to the paragons of the past for satisfying sustenance. Brad has been a pillar of the Committee ever since I can remember. At least he was there last year. If FT is the Sisyphus and Off2 is Prometheus, then Brad is surely our Atlas. Well known for his wit and the heavy burdens he carries, Brad is the best, and most brilliant, candidate for ArbCom this year. | Strong support

| Off2riorob • talk • contribs • logs • block log • editcount • rights |
[15] Level 14, but only 300 xp away from level 15 | More than there are Cute Kitten Videos on YouTube | Chaotic Good | I like Off2riorob. I am not exaggerating when I say that here we have the Prometheus of the Encyclopedia. Where would we mortals be without this gift of fire that Off2 has bestowed upon us? Back in the caves, hiding from the dinosaurs that's where. And how many times has Off2's liver been torn out by angry Wikipedia vultures at AN/I, only to grow back again. Two times. And is it not good when one of the Titans, such as this brilliant editor, chooses to side with us, the puny flesh? Yes, it is good. But isn't Goethe's Prometheus a blasphemous bastard? Yes he was, but Goethe was into that kind of thing. And didn't Goethe... Maybe, but back to the topic. Off2riorob is the best candidate for ArbCom this year. | Strong support

| PhilKnight • talk • contribs • logs • block log • editcount • rights |
[16] Level 18 Githyanki Paladin | More! More! More! | Lawful Good | I like Phil. He is a virtuoso of arbitration. A radiant shard of civility. He is the Santa Claus of dispute resolution. A Tooth Fairy of brilliance. An Easter Bunny of immense proportions. A Yeti of mediation. A Sasquatch of sanctions. A Turkey of praise endowment. A gamecock of spunkiness. A babe of innocence. A soothing lotion on the irritable skin of difficult Wikipedia topics. An acne medicine that has not been recalled by the surgeon, general or otherwise. An untampered with aspirin of headache relief. A blue pill for the editors that have lost their interest. A powerful enhancement for consensus. A credit card with no limit, and low fixed APR rates. A bank that is always open. And the best candidate for ArbCom this year. for | Strong support

| Sandstein • talk • contribs • logs • block log • editcount • rights |
[17] Level 20 Swiss Pikemen | Only 6. But many many many many More blocks. | Lawful, very very Lawful | I like Sandstein. No, really, I do. I have liked him ever since his modest beginnings as a humble barrister in Ares, who resigned his post rather than impose an indefinite block on an editor. I know that some may think him as generally "too lenient" but that is only because Sandstein always defers to the will of the people. It's true that the death of VanishedEditor in his bathtub at the hands of a half-crazed Deletionist has made Sandstein take a harder stance against half-crazed Deletionists as a group, perhaps sometimes failing to properly nuance amongst them. Still, his handling of difficult cases has been precious, precocious, pure gold, proper, pleasant, darling, dear, diligent, debonair and extremely cute. Let Madame TopicBan sing her joyful song, in celebration of this, the best candidacy for ArbCom this year. | Strong support

| Shell_Kinney • talk • contribs • logs • block log • editcount • rights |
[18] Level 8 Vampire Slayer | More than you, buddy | 2005-06-10 | I like Shell. Her experience in dispute resolution is simply enormous. And gigantuan. She has successfully intervened to end the perennial edit wars between the Pissed-Off Lesser Antillians and the Dour Masurians, in the famous LA/M Conflicts case. Her brilliant insights and wise statements have led to peaceful editing amongst editors from small island nations. I look forward to Shell solving similar conflicts for big islanders as well. She should probably start with Iceland. At some point in the future, her extraordinary skills in dispute resolutions may even be applied to non-island, but coastal, countries. And then states with a lot of rivers and lakes in'em. Of course not much can be done for land locked countries, and as far as that goes, Wikipedia's screwed. But that is no fault of Shell, who is the best candidate for ArbCom this year. | Strong support

| SirFozzie • talk • contribs • logs • block log • editcount • rights |
[19] Level 16 Undead Death Knight | 8872.999999999999999 | Lawful Good | I like SirFozzie. SirFozzie is a perfect incarnation of the appearance that an arbitrator should have. He is the Shining Star of ArbCom Mountain. He is the Fate of this Project. He is Invincible and Iron-Willed, a Guiding Ray of Sun. Beloved by all, and respected by most, he is breathtakingly brilliant and amazing. SirFozzie is the Highest Incarnation of the Wikipedia Love. A Shining Beacon on the Road to a Glorious Future. A Careful Citizen, a Cordial Comrade, a Beneficent Brother, a Fortuitous Father, a Coalescing Cousin, a Neighborly Nephew, a Neptunian Neighbor, a quiet Resident, a Dexterous Dweller, Indispensable Inhabitant, Occult Occupier, Sympathetic Squatter, Salacious Sultan, Stupendous Stud, Sanctified Saint, Sultry Salamander, goes well with coriander, not prone to meander, but speak his mind-er, leads his faithful followers, will slay the dragons in their lairs, don't take crap from no bears and the best candidate in these past years. | Strong support

| Stephen_Bain • talk • contribs • logs • block log • editcount • rights |
[20] Level 18 Gnome Non-player character | Think of a number. Now square it. Subtract three times the number of your neighbors who own a Ford Escort. Take the natural log. Apply the Fourier transform, and invert that sucker. Divide by pi and multiply by the number of fleas on Jimbo's dog. Now subtract 1. It's 9 isn't it? No, it's suppose to be 9. Do it again. 9? Hold on... something's wrong... You sure you didn't get 9? Anyway, it's more than that. | Lawful Neutral | I like Stephen. Joke capital was used up in the other Bainer sections. I got nothing atm. This brilliant guy deserves a seat as he is clearly the best candidate for ArbCom this year. | Strong support

[21] Level 45 Demon Archmage, self-polymorphed into a sheepdog of a local farmer | More than there are... sigh... I don't know if I can keep this up | True Neutral | I like Xeno. Xeno + block button = hilarious. Xeno + ArbCom = brilliant. | Strong support |
