2023 Wiki Conclave Vote

The 2023 Wiki Conclave Vote commenced after Alepf announced his retirement on November 30th, 2023, a vote was held to determine the new triumvir. A conclave containing eight members handpicked by Alepf was formed to determine his successor. After several hours of deliberations, Chloe came out as a clear winner with endorsements from all but one of the members of the conclave, making her the new triumviress (also known as triumfemina). Following the conclave, Alepf immediately resigned as wikiposter and declared Chloe to be his successor. 
== Background ==
On 29 November 2023, Alepf publicly declared on the Wikiposting channel of his intent to retire from his status as a Triumvir of the daily-wikiposting channel. He subsequently created an application form which anyone was allowed to apply to.

Voting for the deliberations was done with several transferrable votes, as well as a "detractable vote" (condemning) that would subtract from the recipient's total.
== Deliberations ==
For the first round of deliberations, Ms. 196 dropped out of the race for wikiposter triumvir, and each of the candidates agreed to vote for everyone present, so that it would be a 8-way tie. However, it was found that there were actually 7 candidates, making a tie impossible, and if such a tie were produced, it would go to an election in the wikiposting channel, which Cattum would almost certainly win.
Chloe was the first to withdraw her vote upon knowing this; instead now campaigning for herself. She made a promise to make a 7-member schedule for wikiposting, of which each (not-withdrawn) member of the conclave would be able to participate. As well as this, she pointed out she was friends with Neil which would therefore make negotiations easier, and promised that "their voices would be heard."
Chloe faced opposition from Octopus, who was running on similar lines. For most of the deliberations, Octopus and Chloe were neck and neck until the tie was broken by a vote from Sofia. Eventually, Chloe secured the votes of every member of the conclave, including Ms. 196, despite her dropping out.
