 OK! I have a suggestion, How about we get everything finished a week before the ball and not have to rush it the night before again ^^' Also try not to get food poisoning again half way thru.

I think it might be fun if someone played a villain as their only character, and terrorized all the rooms randomly. It would be similar to Eren and her demon king, but would not have to worry about their own room and would be tied to the plot. It might help when rooms slow down c:

I have so many suggestions. sweatdrop Plot Holy crap yes. The plotting committee almost always disappears once the main plot is decided upon. I think they should be around to keep tabs on the room plots to make sure they fit/important main plot points are hit. Hell, the main plot could evolve this way. It seemed that with the iron thing, a lot of hosts (myself included) were like "uh, how do i include this?" Time Okay, so Gaia seemed to drop the ball on talking to us, but I feel as though if we're told something late (like the whole WIP forum thing), the ball should be pushed back, or we ignore it if possible. The week leading up to the ball was very crazy for me at work, and so I had budgeted my time, but finding out I needed to move things to a new forum last minute was very anxiety-inducing. Deadlines The main hosts need to be strict on this if it's decided. Running the information committee with Hope, it seemed that nobody wanted to talk about how their rooms were going, or if they had everything done. The Mule! Having a main floater character on the main account has always been so interesting! The character always threw a curveball, and it would seriously help with dull moments. Main Thread I did love having Hope's AURBee, but I feel like we need a main thread as well as we did in the past. It let us have all the information needed in one place. Keep the AURBee too, but keep that more for updates (like a news room). Staff If a room has few co-hosts, then we should decide to not have any official room roleplayers. It's not fair for some rooms to have an abundance of staff, and others to have only two. Either let the official room roleplayers move, or have a co-host or two in such rooms move. Now for responses OMG IT COULD BE LIKE A BACKSTAGE THEME AND JUST STAFF TOTALLY OUT OF CHARACTER IT WOULD BE WONDERFUL I am totally in love with all of your ideas. The only thing with the kickstarter is that we never asked for it, they approached PinkieKitty. Maybe if we asked for a new one? The kickstarter helped in so many different areas.

Need more filler planned out before hand when thread is too slow to progress for main plot. More filler need more filler need more filler needmorefillermorefillermorefiller AGH.
Moar advertising during other events through out the year would be good. Might join advertising committee.

Keep the AURBee too, but keep that more for updates (like a news room). That's what the AURBee was supposed to be. However two of the rooms did not get their information to me on time. I also need a back up writer incase something happens again. Like this year, third day of the ball, I found out I had a death in the family, so we needed a day to just be together. I can't be the only one giving updates. I already have a plans how to improve the AURBee too and I'll be able to get it started much earlier in the year this year.

Suggestions:
To make things easier on the Information committee, I genuinely thing each room should have a thread that only the main hosts post in. Without making new posts, they edit the information in the top posts, and QUOTE the iinformation committee head with each new update.
Information in that post would be such as the following:
Links to ALL of the art created for that room, such as banners, character/avatar art, thread art.
Finalized lists of Contests, Games, and Prizes. Which should all be finalized AT LEAST two weeks BEFORE the ball -I was SO frustrated this year I literally CRIED you guys.- Each prize should be iconed as well with the image that gaia provides in that list because I'm telling you right now, it's so tedious gathering all of this information as it is, we (i) don't have time to try and get the Icon image. Remember, in order to keep it from being repetitive I have to make all of these lists/game descriptions into my own words, and keep it interesting. It's very tiring and time consuming.
List of all hosts, cohosts, official room role players, links to their characters, stories and their plot line importance.
Room Story Synposis (non spoiler version of your rooms main plot)
Any other information that is requested eventually that I can't think of at the moment.

I already have a plans how to improve the AURBee too and I'll be able to get it started much earlier in the year this year. I mean having it titled "Informational Thread". It might just be me, but not having it labeled could provide some confusion. Having the Annual Ball account make it instead of a user would be beneficial for the reason you mentioned.

i honestly think that we should stay away from August balls, i get that majority vote etc etc but both times we've had the ball in August that ive been here, its been plagued with people getting ready to move to college campus/ or those few who still have a college/uni class during the summer(NH)/Winter(SH) have all their assignments due really close to that time.
+ majority vote doesnt always mean that the people are active in the planning of the ball, much rather have most of the hosts active than be catering to people who just want a say in whats happening.
hosts/secondaries/cohosts should be the ones choosing the dates for the ball as its them who are volunteering their time.

I know the ball originally started in the spring, then eventually made it's way to the summer, but now it appears it is making its way to the fall, we may want to start looking at entering into the fall where people will generally have a better set schedule due to school, and we can work around it instead of putting it over the summer where people are having family stuff to do. I also think having it in the fall will still give us the popularity, we just would have to avoid clashing with the back to school event on Gaia.

I feel like when the vote is done, there are loads of people hyped up for the ball because it's usually soon after the previous one, but they don't really get involved in the ball itself afterwards I'm sorry for speaking I still feel awful for not being helpful during the ball and I'll just go back to hiding now I just really felt that may have needed adding

Tiny of the Tigers Hmm...Make sure the story's in the different room's aren't too complicated - I noticed that sometimes there's too much story going on in the individual rooms, and those that are coming in late or go to sleep for the night are greeted with things happening that they don't understand. Having fun and adventure is great, but at least make an easily updated post so that others can catch up.
