The 2018 SimPvP Admin Election was a public election held on the server's forum, found here: [1]. Hosted by clipchip, SimPvP players were given the choice between two candidates: DakkaDok, former admin and longtime player, or clipchip, also a longtime player but having no prior admin experience. After a plethora of votes, clipchip won by a single vote, gaining the forum title "Honorary Admin".
The Election
Though he had plans to run as far back as the summer of 2017, clipchip formally posted a poll to the forum on November 20th, 2017. Here, players were given the choice between the two candidates: incumbent admin DakkaDok or clipchip himself. After posting the poll to the forum, the two candidates rallied to gain voters, and the poll's results fluctuated throughout the following days.
Clipchip, as the leader of The Royal Allegiance, sought to gain votes from his fellow members; however, only a select few RA members voted for him. At first, DakkaDok seemed to be winning the polls by only two or three votes at a time: he remained at this top position for a few days. However, as clipchip took a harder stance and rallied more voters in his favor, recruiting many unlikely players to vote for him, his numbers soon rose exponentially.
Poll Results
As of December 11th, 2017, the results were the following:
clipchip: 16 votes (52%)
DakkaDok: 15 votes (48%)
Thus, on this date, clipchip had announced his victory to the server, which soon resulted in current admin Yukarion giving him the forum title "Honorary Admin".
Aftermath
Despite winning the election, Yukarion stated that clipchip would, in fact, not be receiving official admin powers; the forum title was his only award. Clipchip, initially furious, soon ignored this, continuing to rally support as he planned to peacefully transition power between DakkaDok and himself. Regardless, Yukarion stuck by his word, granting clipchip no true powers.
In 2022, over 4 years after the election, clipchip would be made an official admin of Sim PvP.
