This is how it went down.
Yeah, I was too lazy to type it all up again, but that's how it goes. Except a couple of new provisions:Okay, so I had this crazy idea; an AWARDS ceremony, where all DC members are eligible to win in a certain category. Kinda like the Emmy's or Oscar's or whatever.
Categories would be like this:
Most Charasmatic
Best Newbie of the Year
Most Playful
Most Likely To Die By Way Of Punchbowl
Or something... all positive things, of course. I don't want there to be any feelings hurt.
This is how I'm going to see this thing working:
There will be a committee board of about 6 who will choose all the categories, and which members (I'm thinking about 5 for each category) will be nominees for them. This, of course, means a committee must be devised, which means five of you are welcome to join. You must meet the following requirements though:
1.) You know the community here very well.
2.) You cannot let bias get in the way of who goes into which category.
3.) You can work well in a group. (As in you don't constantly refute everything).
If you think you meet these standards (they're simple enough) then please feel free to just join in (but only 5 slots are available of course).
As far as voting/rewards go, votes will probably be handled by Personal Message rather than a poll. I know this seems VERY inconvenient in comparison (sorry!) but that way when the winners are announced it will be a SURPRISE instead of, well, everyone already knowing who the winners are. (Unless you think that's stupid - then I'll nix it).
Rewards will be a professionally made banner which boasts text that reads "(YOUR NAME HERE) - DC'S MOST (whatever) MEMBER OF [2007]".
PS: Committee won't form until after the Thanksgiving Holidays because of all the travelling.
1. You no longer have to be awesome to be on the committee. That was so ARBITRARY. But its still good if you're awesome of course.
2. If someone wants to be the "president" or the "leader" of this thing instead of me this year (for whatever reason), then don't hesitate to volunteer. It'd be cool if a different person ran this every year. I will require this though:
1. You've been a member here for at least 2 years (you joined no later than November 2005)
2. You're not a SLACKER. In this position you have to plan meetings (or one meeting anyway), communicate with your committee and keep track of all the votes diligently. Its not that bad, but its good if you're on top of things. So yeah.
So there it is.
Anyone who wants to be on the poll for the committee, please post here and nominate yourselves now.
