Define 'Cynical' Awards Ceremony 2006

Postby Arloest » Sat Nov 18, 2006 3:52 am

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).
4.) You're AWESOME!

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 2006".

So how 'bout it?

PS: Committee won't form until after the Thanksgiving Holidays because of all the travelling.

Just a few suggestions to add to the awards ceremony pot, even though no panel has been formed, I figured I'd just drop these off for consideration into the awards.

Most [Randomly] Insane Member sounds like a good addition around these parts if you ask me, heheh.

Also, there should be an award for Forum Member of the Year, since therew's many of us here who definately wouldn't qualify for the Best Newbie award.

Both of those sounds pretty appropriate, yes.

I think this is a great idea and if you can put your name down for one of the comittee judges now I'd like to.

Further categories could be Most Prolific Artist or Person You Most Want Back (for those that have left the forums or just disappeared).

Hey, sounds like a great idea to me! If you think I'm suitable to help in any way, I'd offer my services. Sounds like a lot of fun.
