Karmafist's Quick Tutorial In Avoiding Having To Nominate Yourself

 * 1) . Go build a rapport with an assortment of users, by I don't know, Not being a jerk...
 * 2) . Go to one of those users' talk pages and ask them "Hey [User X], I've got Y amount of edits and i've done [Whatever], do you think i'm worthy of adminship?"
 * 3) . The other user says some form of either "Sure, i'll help you out and nominate you", "No, but keep at it for [x amount of time] and/or [y amount of whatever], and you'll be a shoe in", or "No way in hell should you ever be a administrator, (with objective reasons why or random insults that break WP:WQT)". I always try to avoid the last one because nothing is permanent, and I believe even a vandal can reform if they wish so to the point where they could become an admin given enough time paying back for their bad karma.
 * 4) If option 1 happens, then you're all set. If they forget, remind them of the conversation. If option 2 happens, come back after the things that needed to be done have been done, and ask again. By this time, if the other user renegs on their word, you'll probably have enough experience to find somebody else to nominate you.

And voila!
