+''I'm surprised too.''
+Hello, I am your handsome Mystery Images writer, Tucayo.
+====Who’s this Tucayo you are talking about, anyway?====
+Perhaps some of you don’t know me, perhaps some know me from writing Mystery Images (which I have done for 43 issues). But, if you don’t know me, let me introduce myself. I am Tucayo, and here is where I tell you all my qualifications:
+*Former ‘Shroom Director
+*Former ‘Shroom Sub-Director
+*Former Fun-Stuff Director
+*Host of both Shroom Awards and Shroom Mafia
+*Former Super Mario Wiki Patroller
+*Former Super Mario Wiki Sysop
+*Former Super Mario Wiki Representative for NIWA
+*NIWA Founding User
+*I have written 154 sections over the lapse of 43 issues. (2nd most by any single user)
+*Former Userpedia Admin
+*I won a Golden Mario, Golden Bowser, Golden Peach and Golden Toad in the past End-Of-Year Awards
+*I won Favorite Director and Favorite Writer in the Shroom Awards I and Favorite Sub-Director and Favorite
+====OK, you have won things and stuff, but what have you done for The ‘Shroom?====
+This is the best part. In my term as Sub-Director/Director the ‘Shroom grew the most. When Stooby and I became Director and Sub-Director, respectively, there was a huge writers drought and a decreasing interest in The ‘Shroom. But all this was changed. How? Well, take a look at some of the things we did:
+*January issue was established. Before us there was no January issue.
+*The first Special Issue came out, becoming a huge success.
+*Fun Stuff, Music & Art and Pipe Plaza teams were created.
+*Core Staff term was created.
+*’Shroom child board and ‘Shroom Staff board were created.
+*The ‘Shroom namespace was created.
+*Shroom Awards were created.
+*The biggest revamp in The ‘Shroom took place. Many sections were created and our focus changed. (I’ll admit it, this one happened against my will).
+*Application system was established.
+*The basis for the Section of the Month was established.
+*<nowiki>#</nowiki>mwshroom was created.
+<br>And perhaps some more things I can’t remember, but that’s basically it.
+====What are your plans?====
+One of the things I hope to accomplish is to make The ‘Shroom a vital part of the Super Mario Wiki. And how will this be accomplished?
+*First of all, announcing it on the site with Sitenotice.<br>
+*Another of my plans is to have ONE Special Issue. No more. Surprises of course.
+*Games and contests. During all my time here I have noticed there is a better response when there are prizes. 3 games during the year and the winners will face each other in a fourth game, that is the prize game. To make it fair, the 3 games can be held on the wiki, forum and chat.  What kind of games? Drawing contests, game shows, quiz games, scavengers hunt (I would love this one) and more.
+*Return an old feature I encouraged, which is to have a guest writer every issue.
+*Staff meetings. I had thought of this since 2009, but never suggested it. Holding monthly staff meeting at chat can help us plan the next issue, discuss applications, dates, and everything that has to be done. They can be really useful.
+*Some users who want to sign aren’t very proficient in English, so we can suggest them a section where grammar is not needed, like some Fun Stuff sections, or Music & Art. Also to remove the sections limit.
+*Tributes. For example, if one issue marks one year of Z3r0 Tw0’s retirement, or whatever, we would feature one of 02’s past sections for newer users to know his work.
+*Remove the Spotlight. It was a great idea, but that’s already the purpose of the PipeProjects. What could be done is to enforce a particular PipeProject each month.
+*I noticed neither of my fellow candidates proposed a major change, so here’s my proposal for one: create a set of Opinion Sections. What is a newspaper/magazine without Opinion Sections? Just a News Bulletin, and we are not that. So I propose three opinion sections:
+**An Inside Look At…: This section would feature each month a certain aspect of videogames (glitches, hacks, easter eggs, etc.) and talk about it, so readers get to know them better.
+**Users Voice: The writer of this section would poll users to see what they think about features of the wiki, or aspects of the Marioverse.
+**Should Have Been will be classified as an Opinion Section, and it will extend its coverage not just to games, but to anything else related to the Marioverse.
+*And of course, I’d be sure to have both SMB and MG1 in my Core Staff so some of their ideas you liked are applied and everyone is content.
+====TL;DR?====
+I’ll sum up why you should vote for me.
+*I have experience. (Nearly 4 years)
+*I love The ‘Shroom and I’ll always put The 'Shroom's interests before anything else.
+*The ‘Shroom grew more than ever during my 2-year term as (Sub)Director-
