I can see everything, you know.

No Bo$$, I do not hate you, and have no reason to. Adminship is something we cannot simply grant to users who request permission. Some wikis have complicated nominating and voting procedures, and among the great many people who reside on them which calls for such a process, let me tell you, it would be even harder for you to get voted in than through us administrators on the Battle Bears Wiki having a discussion about it.

We have considerably less active users than others, so we have a clear view of who might be suitable for the roll. Psyche was brought in because of his commitment and friendly personality, of which we experienced more on the Battle Bears Forum than anywhere else. Kodokor12 was quick to impress us with his thorough editing and good sense of organisation and management. He too has become more active on the Battle Bears Forum in the process.

One other reason these people were chosen was because of their involvement on our wiki PM on the Forum. I made this relatively clear, and I was hoping you too could more often take part in our discussions, wiki talk, and match planning (both for testing and competitive matches). However, you rarely turned up, so we couldn't get to know you on a more personal level, and that is something highly important for us if we are to ever consider granting you adminship. Everyone we have brought in has gotten along and had a great time, regardless of our capabilities, knowledge and opinions. Serious arguments and disputes must be completely avoided so that the wheels can keep turning.

It saddens me that you would ever think that I do hate you, because that's the kind of thing that we simply can't have happening between administrators, or any others for that matter. And no, I am not declaring you are no longer eligible for adminship. Everyone always has an equal chance and opportunity, but like finding work in the real world, first impressions count, previous experience is beneficial, coping in social situations is important, and not everyone has what we're looking for.

I cannot guarantee you will become an administrator, but I can guarantee that if you can show not just me, but all the administrators that you're the kind of person we want to work with side by side, indeed, we will grant you what you hold most dear.
