 #'''Strong Support.''' This is a critical time for the wiki. As I write this paragraph at the risk of repeating what has been said both above and elsewhere, this wiki now basically has only Toomai as an admin. We need another admin, everyone. And who better than ToastUltimatum? Some of the other candidates I want to run for admin, such as RD, have little to no interest in adminship. On the other hand, Toast has interest in adminship, not because he's power-hungry, but because he genuinely wants to help the wiki, which is more than can be said for many people that have submitted RfAs. Toast is known around the community as a very helpful user. He has adminship experience from many other wikis. When there is a new user, he is always welcoming and trusted by them. When a new user breaks a policy by accident, he explains the policy to them in a way where people listen- firm enough to get his point across, but not so firm as to scare the new user away. As we all know, he isn't the type of user that would abuse admin powers. Okay, so he hasn't handled many disputes, but that's a good thing-- this means that the wiki doesn't have that much user disputes, and if it did, I would be completely confident in his ability to handle them. Thank you, Toast, for all you've done for me, this wiki, and its users. I wish you the best of luck in this RfA.

+:::After seeing the events that have transpired in the comments section, I find it necessary to change my vote to '''Extremely strong support.''' I sense that Omega Tyrant is beginning to live up to his name. He apparently seems hell-bent on shooting ToastUltimatum down. For what reason, I don't know, but it shows that this wiki may be beginning to fall apart. As an admin, I think Toast could provide healthy opposition, if you will, to Omega Tyrant, rather than having the often-repeated process of People support something --> OT opposes it --> Everyone changes their vote to agree with OT. Admins are not kings.
 #We need more admins before the SSB4 rush, and I trust ToastUltimatum with this powers. He is already an admin on many wikis, including [[icaruspedia:User:ToastUltimatum|three]] [[fzerowiki:User:ToastUltimatum|NIWA]] [[lylatwiki:User:ToastUltimatum|wikis]]. I completely support Toast.

 #A good admin needs to know the policies (check) and enforce the policies (check). Toast is a respected user who does get asked questions by new users. Sure, this may be because he welcomes them. The point is that he helps them anyway. ''This'' is admin material. Toast is also a good editor and had rollback, two things that I think go in his favor. To me, Toast could be a good admin. And, we may not need new admins ''right'' now but will do in a few months time when more SSB4 news and rumors start to surface so better to get admins now than to recruit them closer to the time on short notice. <span style="text-shadow:2px 2px 2px gold; font-family:Elephant">[[User:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:red">Solar</span> <span style="color:green">Dragon</span>]] <sup>([[User talk:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:black">Talk</span>]] <span style="color:white">'''•'''</span> [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|<span style="color:blue">Contribs.</span>]])</sup></span> 06:39, 5 August 2012 (EDT)

 :Note that Luigi540 updated his vote after I put this, so the above text will not match what is currently on the page.

+At the risk of unleashing OT's wrath, I must say I see some problems with his logic. I will refute some points he has made in this section.
+''"Out of touch" is an action of theirs. 'Don't do shit' is an action of theirs. Was it kindly worded? No. But non kind words =/= attack."''
+"Out of touch" is more of a description than an action. "Dinosaurs" describes them instead of their actions. Besides, PoD might not make much edits, but when it becomes necessary to use his administrative tools, he does so.
+''If you were PoD and got offended by those words, how about actually get in touch with the community and do shit if you're going to hold on to your admin position?''
+Again, PoD might not make much edits, but when it becomes necessary to use his administrative tools, he does so.
+''Those were indeed "actions", saying the users' names guilty of those actions is not a personal attack. Read the guidelines on what a personal attack is actually like.''
+Okay. "Insulting or disparaging an editor is a personal attack '''regardless of the manner in which it is done.''' When in doubt, comment on the article's content '''without referring to its contributor at all.'''" "Disparage" means to "Regard or represent as being of little worth," which I believe you did to PoD and Emmett.
+''If you're going to use the amount of vandalism to support the need of another admin, there should be at least one separate act of vandalism occurring every three days.''
+While Toast has said vandalism is part of the reason he filed this RfA, is it the main reason? No.
+''Outside Curious, a clearly deranged individual with mental problems, vandalism is pretty much nonexistant here.''
+Again, vandalism is not the only reason for this RfA. Also, SW:NPA claims: "It is as unacceptable for anyone to attack a user with a history of foolish or boorish behavior, or even one who has been subject to disciplinary action as it is to attack any other user." Calling Curious a deranged individual would almost certainly qualify as a personal attack.
+''...yet Emmett constantly insulting users for saying things he doesn't agree with is perfectly fine?''
