The last voting was not anonymous - I wouldn't stress over it. Just ask the
question here and let people post responses. If anyone can't post to lugnet,
they can always email someone and get them to on-post it.

Limited numbers of terms only reduces already small pool of bright, capable and
willing prospective GMs. I'd let it go.

I note that the Galactic Chief is a purely administrative role established by
this GM as part of his administration. The GC can be fired at the GMs whim, and
in his undisclosed discretion. The GC role ceases to exist at the end of the
term of the GM, and may be re-established by the next GM, at his whim.
The last thing we need is more voting for admin roles :-) What we need is more
time to PLAY!

Long live GM Hendotron
