One is good enough.

Kreegah!!! · 01-25-2011, 08:30 AM

If one's good enough, then you must have had paltry offerings in the way of nominations.

Speaking of such, how was the turn-out? Lots of submissions, or lots of abstentions (get out and vote, you lazy buggers! [well, vote next round anyway])?

Wooster · 01-25-2011, 09:46 AM

No not really, maybe. It was the first try, so it's all good.

Um, I think we will releae the names once we get them tabulated.

Speaking off, of to work Wooster.

Kingsnoke · 01-25-2011, 09:49 AM

Kingsnoke wonders how long the tabulating will take.

Wooster · 01-25-2011, 09:58 AM

Depends how busy I am. xD

Inuyasha · 01-25-2011, 10:01 AM

And someone has to nominate us right

so if some one nominates us can they do it for multiple months

is it based on popularity on multiple nominations/recommendations polls
or is it Judges decide based on what they think

Wooster · 01-25-2011, 10:11 AM

Both the committee and nominations will be involved in the member chosen.

Inuyasha · 01-25-2011, 10:13 AM

Ohh ok got it

MotM Nomibot · 01-25-2011, 10:26 AM

Glad you do. The list of nominees will be up soon.

Indefinite. Wooster will tire of the exercise and randomly decide based on a complicated mathematical formula based on a Scategories Die, a Magic 8 Ball, an extrusion of lavender and lemongrass, and the breathless preponderance of the universe as seen through a rhomboid spyglass.

The formula is thus: Wooster's Time to Extricate Himself from Flock of Sheep multiplied by the Stress of Why Sheep Are in my Workplace (cubed), subtracted from the inviolate Theorum of Missing Scotch, divided by -0. Long Day, Woo.

We nominate.

The committee works through the nominations, removing ineligible submissions. Then they likely look at the reasons the remaining eligible nominations were nominated. They tally it up, then, it seems from what I've read here, that they discuss who should be awarded not just by nomination count, but also by reasons listed.

In other words, if I have this right, any actual voting is done by the committee. Multiple nominations for a guy may up his odds, but only if there are plenty of good reasons and examples of his deserving the award mentioned in the submissions.

For example, if RandomGuy! received 4,879,452,243 nominations, but the submissions only mentioned his name and the text "He's cool", but "SensibleMarauder" receives 1 nomination complete with 8 paragraphs of well-reasoned character highlights and 26 month-relevant post/thread links displaying his forum prowess, the one who wins would likely be SM, not RG!

^Extreme example

Someone wants to be on the nominating comittee.

It is true, Wooster did indeed come up with a complicate formula on how the winner will be selected; however, only a select few know the ingridents to the secret sauce.

Wooster is fast. He has already finished. Now he has no more to do and can laugh at the rest of the committee.

Indeed that would be true, but there is more in the special sauce than that.

Kreegah!!! · 01-25-2011, 11:11 AM

I'd rather be on an authorized Detractor Committee, where I can harass failed nominees for the duration of that month, like a Drill Instructor telling recruits why they're failures and nobodies. Gets 'em prepped for the next time, and I get the joy of seeing tears.

NarutoRulez · 02-01-2011, 09:54 AM

Not to be that gal but I was wondering whether there are any plans on when the MOTM February event will start. ^_^

MotM Nomibot · 02-01-2011, 01:31 PM

1st of every month. You can nominate now if you'd like.

Kingsnoke · 02-01-2011, 04:54 PM

Kingsnoke might nominate someone this month.

Makoto Cifer · 02-06-2011, 01:50 PM

What are the prequists to become MOTM?

2. Any member nominated must have made at least 50 posts

3. The member must have positive rep

5. No member can win in two consecutive months

A prerequisite to be nominated is a prerequisite to win.

Wooster · 02-07-2011, 06:58 AM

True.

I guess we have waited long enough. Time to get the nomination for this month up and running in high gear.

Shikamaru Nara · 02-07-2011, 03:29 PM

Question - I saw that the colored username reward was taken away. JAFL gained chatbox acces because of his username color, does this mean you will not be giving away colored usernames anymore?

False - Chatbox access is an 'all in except for those excluded' type of a group; JAFL was put into the MoTM group, which was never 'excluded' from Chatbox access. That is why he could see the Chatbox, not because of his username color.

Also, as you can see, JAFL still has an orange name.
