Member of The Year

Marvelous idea....

Nowe we're going to have somekind of Ms and Mr Literature Pageant, and we act like those peeps on TV, showing off like peacocks :D :D :D

But, personally I prefer that we nominate other people. That way, great members who are shy (yes, I know some of them), could be come nominees as well. And I think it will make the contest more "legitimate" (nominated and voted by others :p )


I think we could use some MODS "power" here by making the nomination and the poll threads as sticky ;), so everybody who check out the site knows about this "competition"

So it can be anybody? I need criteria....or can I nominate more then 1 person, I can't choose - I won't choose!!!!!!! You can't make me choose.

Papaya, my suggestion is that we nominate 3 people , which you think "deserve" to get the title. Any criteria, but please state the reason. And you're able to nominate yourself as well , and please also state the reason.
And after a period of time , say end of this month, we'll check the 10 members who got nominated the most. Then, we create a poll and let people vote among the 10 until, say 30 December. So, on the 31st December, we'd have our "MEMBER OF THE YEAR 2005"

I think it summon up all suggestions?!

:D

:sick: shot down.

i think that once the 10 members are chosen, then they have to make a small speech in the form of a longish post describing why they should be voted as Member of The Year.

and another rule, it has to be a member that is currently active. if they are not here, or have been away for a prolonged amount of time, then they are not eligable to be voted in.

otherwise, not criteria at all.

and a small question, will everyone be able to see who votes for who? for example, if I vote for Nightshade, will she be able to see that?

(smeagol...hmm....pits pits ashes, the eye...AAAAAH!!!)

Do we have to post nominees on this thread and if then when are we going to start posting? from today?

not yet i dont think. it doesnt sound all finalised.

we need a new thread for this called Nominees or Nominations and everyone can post here. but i think that somehow, we should have it so that people cannot see who others voted for, because that will influence peoples decisions for sure.

How bout creating the nomination thread with guidelines as follow:

-nominate 3 names and please state the reason
-self-nomination is welcome (please also state reason :D )
-free criteria: you can nominate based on post counting, old/new/ activness, wittines, you name it
-You can freely change your nominees. However, nominees take in to account are only the ones in your last post in the nomination thread

note:

-nomination thread will be open untill 30th NOvember
-10 most nominated members will go to next round (poll round)
-poll would be open from 1st of Dec to 30th of Dec


Maybe anyone would like to modify the above?

We need a volunteer for the Project Leader :D...We already have our dedicated reporter, Nighty, to cover this event..right Nighty?

Yes!! and as such I cant be nominated :banana:
it would spoil my objectisism :D
3 oooh who would I vote for oh hey I already know :D ;)
