Can I ask what you mean by this? It seems like the only thing that would prevent you from being DT1 is if somebody took you off their trusted list, but maybe there's something I still don't understand...
See the following from theymos:
Each user's number of "votes" in the last two criteria will be limited to floor(earned_merit / (10 or 250, depending on the criteria)). If you trust more people than your limit, then you will vote for the people to whom your vote will be the most useful, more-or-less.

So essentially, Foxpup currently has 8 users with >250 merit trusting him. Of those 8 users, 5 have between 250 and 500 merit, and so get 1 vote in this category. 3 have >1000 earned merit, and get 4, 6 and 7 votes each respectively in this category. Foxpup needs a total of 2 votes from different users. It is conceivable that all these users' votes are currently being used on other members, and so there would be no free votes available to give to Foxpup. If a user is receiving more than 2 votes, then only 2 are counted and the others are redistributed to "people to whom the vote will be most useful". As far as I know, theymos has not given details of how this is calculated.


What day is the drama new dt update scheduled for?
The start of each month is as specific as we have been told. Previous dates were March 5th and February 5th.
