Sure, pick one to be the leader of, if you'd like. That's the idea. XD

And I like the afterparty idea, Grin. wink
Halloween Queen and Autumn... somethingthatrhymeswithautumn. XD

Can I go make my thread now?
Or should I wait until all the other categories are filled?




@Grin: Yeah, an afterparty!
Um...Autumn...Bottoms?
Only thing I could find to rhyme sweatdrop
Lemme think on it a bit more.
Autumn...
...
Shot 'em
Got 'em
Fought 'em
Want 'em {Eh heh}




Gosh, I'm so unimaginative xDDD

It's okay, Shindig, that's a hard thing to rhyme. XD

But yeah, you can go ahead and set up your thread if you'd like.

Um, can we get someone to change the title of the event forum?
I'm a mod (or used to be, I haven't paid attention to if I still am XD) but I never learned how to change subforum names or anything like that...

In the meantime, we have like, 11 spaces to fill! Ack!

Forum titles can only be changed by Captains or Vice-Captains.

Or Rocket, for that matter.

Ooh, how about a contest for ANYTHING autumn-themed?

Like, a short story, or a poem, or a drawing, or a TekTek, or an avatar edit, or just anything that requires creativity...

And then there could be different categories for the contest, like

Best Autumn-Themed Short Story
Best Autumn-Themed Poem
Best Autumn-Themed Fanfiction
Best Autumn-Themed Drawing
Best Autumn-Themed Outfit Design
Best Autumn-Themed TekTek
Best Autumn-Themed Avatar Edit

Etc.

And like, each category winner would get something on their wishlist, or like gold, or something nifty like that.

And the WHOLE guild could vote, 'cause we could make different threads for the different categories with the little poll-dealies.

Like

"Which drawing was the best?"
Option A: Suzy-Q's 'Leaves'
Option B: Annie-Lou's 'Squash'

Like that?
And different people could head each catergory's thread, that way it isn't a lot of work on one person.

And it wouldn't have to be all about the weather changes, because that can only go so far. It could be like, back-to-school, or the end of something, or death (autumn kinda symbolizes that), or anything that you can possibly connect to autumn, concrete or abstract.

I guess that's not so much of an event idea as it is a contest, though. XD
I dunno.

Hm...

Reading this, I think we should combine the two ideas of the Halloween and the Autumn together: They'd be seperate, but together.

It's hard to explain, but people who aren't really in favour of Halloween contests can do the Autumn stuff, and people that really love Halloween can participate in the Halloween one.

Of course, everyone can participate in both. ;D

And we need catchy names for the ladies who win these fine contests.

Halloween Queen and... Um.

D: I don't know.

We can have a party afterwards or something.

The Fall Ball. With Autumn's Guests of Honor. ;D

I'll be the judge "representative" for drawing, since that is the one I'm least likely to enter... How many of these categories are we allowed to enter? Is there a limit on how many entries?

Autumn Want 'Em.

I like that.

So we have two ladies being our Halloween Queen and the Autumn Want 'Em.

With the Fall Ball as the afterparty?

;D I think we got ourselves set up. Now we just kinda need to do the finishing touches, I'm guessing?

@Breathless Zephyr: Awesome!
Do you want to represent anything?





@Chibi: Sounds good to me.
I think that we can enter as many as we want, but we're only allowed to win once.
If you win more than one, the runner-up will take the prize.
Since the prizes are going to be the same for each contest, it sounds about fair.





@Grin: Want 'em it is xd
That sounds so awesome.
We rock.

And um, I guess you should be able to enter all of the categories.
Even the one that you run, actually, since everyone will be voting, so there's no way you could fix it in your favor.

And... I dunno about limits on entries in each category... Maybe we should let the heads of each category decide that? If it were up to me, I'd say for contestants to just pick one drawing/TekTek/story/whatever, because that makes it easier... but I dunno.

Breathless: All right, we've got a donor! Awesome! <3 Two of the twelve prizes are covered, yay!

Grin: Sounds good. Hey, could you rename the event forum for us?

I think I'll go set up a thread in the event forum so that it's easier to keep track of the list of peoples and stuff.

That makes sense. There are four or five categories I'd like to enter. Next question... what are the prizes going to be? How many categories are people supposed to be representatives for?

Autumn Want 'em. Lol. Sounds like you guys got it all worked out. I'm not sure if you need my help, but if you do....
PostPosted: Tue Oct 16, 2007 7:58 pm


OH GOD WE DO gonk Help uuuuus.

Would you like to head a category, Captain? :3 That'd help a lot.

Or maybe donate, or just help arrange what the prizes could be, or anything else that we haven't really covered? XD

Um, okay. I have some experiences with contests, so here are some things that might help if you answer:

In General:
- What are the prizes going to be?
- How many categories do you want people to be representatives for?
- Can representatives enter their own categories?
- Do representatives have a say in the voting (for example, they get 25% of the vote, voters get 75% of the vote kind of thing)?
- Are there prizes for the runner-ups?
- How long does the voting go on for?
- Where else will you get the prizes, beyond donations?
- Where do people send prize money?

For each Representative:
- How do people submit their voting?
- How will you subjectively show their entries?
- Can people vote for themselves?
- How will you avoid mule votes?
- Will you allow people to enter more than once?
- Do people PM you questions or just post in a thread?
