thanks royalbaby

Here are some (some new, some not) people I found in a quick search that seem to be better known by Banana than Patrik, and in some cases know Banana better than Patrik


 * HellNinja
 * Tidal
 * Royalbaby
 * Auf/AM Waves
 * Pokegeek
 * Me

First consider someone who is new to Banana and new-ish to me, Tidal, who has been a conceptionist for a while, became active here in early 2017, and used to be community administrator. Looking at Tidal's user namespace shows you that although he knows Patrik pretty well (which makes sense) he appears to know the "older" conceptionsists a bit better, like Zathsu, Tacocat, and Banana. Additionally, I've seen Tidal having conversations with Banana in chat dozens of times, whereareas I've only seen him and Patrik in chat (or discord, for that matter) a few times, and I check chat at all times of day.

Next consider Auf. He might seem like he hasn't been around very long, but I saw him on the DCOW wiki under a different name ages ago. Back when the wiki nearly died and everyone kept going to that chat, I saw him having a lot more convos with Banana. In fact, has AM Waves/Auf even held a conversation with Patrik before?

Next consider me and a lot of the former staff. I barely knew who Patrik was before....ehh.., March? I've seen so many interns and moderators and sentinels come and go recently that they've been starting to blur together, so I didn't think Patrik would last very long or go on to stay community admin. After all, look at what happened to Radium: he's basically gone, for now. It's not really any one's fault that like 80% of the oldest users who aren't staff don't know who Patrik is, but....they don't. In contrast, you can ask basically anyone who used to be staff (like me) if they've ever talked to Banana, and you can frickin' guarantee they'll say yes. That's a very large, important number of people who

Finally, consider yourself, Pokegeek, and Royalbaby. As someone said above, neither of y'all know the candidate you oppose that well. But the difference is that although people like me and Patrik haven't seen Royalbaby around much, and Patrik knows you and you know Patrik, Banana knows who you are, along with basically every other "new" user here.

If you give me until Tuesday I can come up with a dozen specific names.
