I'm willing to use my 9 to take the juice from any of you fools!

pointless and uncalled for

If Tom falls ill then we wait on word from our commanger in chief as to who is appointed acting head honcho. However, should he suffer from a throat infection and be unable to talk then leadership is determined by a very complex and ancient series of methods.

First of all the candidates step forth to present their case. If they can complete their hustings without someone trying to stuff a racoon in their mouth then they are worthy to proceed to the next stage.

The next stage is the trial by fire. All remaining canidates must enter into a discourse on the nature of Johnny Carson. If the bonfire should be determined to have died of boredom then the candidate is eliminated.

The final stage is the vote. Each poster writes their chosen candidate on a piece of paper and hides it within twenty miles of their place of work. The candidates must then seek out these secreted ballots. Once the final count is in then the chosen one is fit to rule this board until Tom returns.

If you mean in terms of the nuts and bolts of online board maintenance, I guess it might be Cal, who's working on the new version of the board. Also, the moderators of each forum might come into play to keep the board running if Tom wasn't able to.
Other than that, I don't think there's a "pecking order" to Barbelith.

Dudes, stop pulling nikon's chain.

It's me.

I'm the one.

No, it's Jack Fear: he's the Absent Father to my Domineering Mother. You're all gonna turn out gay. Or schizophrenic (in the 1950s). Or both.

19:27 / 21.02.02

Hold me Mommy.

(mmmmm, indian gods)

If Tom steps down, Knowledge +1 gets to pick who the next leader is.

That is all the people need to know.

Listen to Ganesh: he understands.

Fortunately, Tom is never ill, nor unable to function as Supreme Commander of the Barbelith, because of the modifications the Tyrrell Corporation made when they launched the Nexus Series 7.

Only the Lizards know his incept date.

He works tirelessly for his people of the 'Lith but should he ever get fed up with us and take a holiday in Cambodia, or be captured by the Greenland posse, Mordant C@rnival would effortlessly take control of Tomsville Worldwide, being an experienced disciplinarian.

On behalf of the dynamic revolution of the Brummagem Dawn, I hereby claim this board on behalf of Ozzy, that bloke out of ELO and Jasper Carrot!
All will kneel!
None will mock our accents!

Haus about we all give each other a big lovely huggle?

I'm sorry, I think that should be "What in sam hell?!"

No, it's what in the blue hell?

Wherever the word Daddy is mentioned, Kooky will be there.

Even Daddies can have Daddies, though. And mine is that weird fucking Godhead thing MC has going. Sweet Jesus!

Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!

No, Sweet Jane.
