    That brings up another question. Are current members only up for nomination or can future members be considered? I want to nominate my son and daughter for Cutest Male and Female.

    Just for anyone who missed it, please read the first post of this thread! Particularly the part in bold. This time around you may listen to the results being revealed live on either Skype or TeamSpeak - I'm yet to decide which I'll go with.

    Skype
    + Skype has the benefit of auto-recording on my PC so I can easily save it and let people listen to it later on.
    + There's also the obvious benefit of a lot of people already having it!
    - The downside is that it could be awkward when everyone is being noisy to keep the results churning out, especially if someone is really noisy or there are a lot of people.
    - The other downside is that you need to have an account, and anyone in that room will suddenly know your Skype account once you're in the room.

    TeamSpeak
    + TeamSpeak has the added benefit of people being able to mute or turn up/down the volume on particular people who happen to be obnoxiously loud or extremely quiet, so it's much more user friendly once you're in.
    + TeamSpeak also doesn't require any account creation.
    - The downsides are that few people by comparison have it installed. They would need to download it and install it on their machine.
    - ...and that I would have to record it on some other system. Maybe Audacity or something, I guess?

    Stream It?
    + Anyone can simply load a page and it'll work.
    + Will be a boring random window on my PC, perhaps even some Notepad or something, as I obviously don't want to show off the results ahead of schedule when I flick between Excel/EoFF/IRC/etc.
    - It could cut out. Sadly I have a habit of my PC cutting out during streams...
    - Little to no interaction with me.

    I was more worried about the drunk part than that skype part.

    I expect there will be drinking involved. It's tradition... right? I know I'll be drinking. Hopefully I can hold out long enough to not sober up before the end this time...

    I don't understand the definition of 'pacing oneself'. I'm awful at it, seriously. I just drink until my glass is empty then refill. I get pretty drunk pretty fast sometimes.

    The great thing about TeamSpeak is that people pretty much never mute people but rather just turn them down. On Skype sometimes people who have loud and quiet microphones mix up and it's really hard to hear some of those in the chat. TS? Just right click the name, they've got a personal volume setting, adjust until they're all about even!

    You can also temporarily mute your own microphone and/or speakers. I was a massive sceptic of TS when I first tried it but it grew on me really fast. I wish Skype had such functionality! And the entire call doesn't drop out just because one person leaves. And you can make silly chatroom names and descriptions. xD

    He is terrible. When Rantz, myself and Lev were staying at his flat, he went mad after half a glass of SoCo.

    If it's done on Skype I will not be participating in that bit. Skype makes me extremely uncomfortable.

    I will be in the tread and on chat though

    This feels early this year, but I guess not since it's the end of May. Summer is going too fast.
