Cryptic Crossword Clues - it's the way we prove we aren't LLMs
Winner Stays On; the arcane tradition, often seen in pool halls, where the winner stays on the table. By on, we don't actually mean that they have to climb on the table. That tends to be frowned upon.
Dalek Dave. A Dr Who fanatic who wanted to stand for election in UK local elections. He was an accountant and CCC fan, who stumbled into CP one day and decided it was much more interesting than working for a living, so he squatted in the lounge. (My apologies to those who just had an unpleasant mental image of this).

Sounds like a plan. You want to take over management? I'm fine either way.
We may need to change how it works though - winner stays on didn't seem to encourage most people.

What could we replace/complement WSO with though ? I think what stopped some people answering was the fear of having to set one. It was easier when DD set it every day.

Yeah, the Dalek was OK - but after his massive defeat I think he was too embarrassed to show his face again. His rep shows he hasn't logged in since the end of 2016 ... so chances are CP messages go straight to the Junk pile or he's changed his email.* Pity.
* Or he's doing the work he's paid for instead of hanging around the Lounge. Unlikely, I know, but ...

Ah yes he had political aspirations - I would have thought he would have been snapped up by Boris

I think that's the problem. We either need a single setter (which is hard work over the long run as I found out with TotD) or a rota system. Perhaps a User Group of Setters to decide who does when?

Great minds and all that.

If you can't go with WSO, you are really left with two options:- A permanent CCC setter
- A rota of setters
