The Hall of Fame Committee

[Trumpet Thief]

chaos: xD I doubt is should be in the fame of infamy, but I will give thought to the "Hottest Member" contest, next time it comes around.

Rubedo: ed, I want to continue this GSD conversation as well.

[Raistlin]

I have AIM and mIRC.

It seems to me that an mIRC channel would be best...

[Yamaneko]

Just use #tga, no one else does.

[Raistlin]

*smacks Yams* >=o

[Pheesh]

i'm not a member but something you guys could try is make your own room in mIRK eg. #tga, #chat. I can understand that it may be overrun but guesses are that it will be so boring and empty that no-one will want to stay....like #tga *smacks raistlin*.

i only put this idea foward because i think your meetings could get mixed up in the normal talks and the spam *cough*cbc*cough*. that....and i'm still trying to squeeze in to the commitee :P

anyway, just a suggestion

Peace out and :rock:

Yeah, mIRC would be best, definitely. Five of us use IRC a lot, and Hero did before he left.

[theundeadhero]

The only reason I don't use Mirc anymore is because I can't download stuff onto army computers, and most of these don't have the Java needed to use #EOFF. Chat is out for me. My Yahoo and MSN messenger accounts are in my profile (free for any and all here to add to, I like talking) but due to the time difference PMs would be the best way for me to communicate.

Now that I'm for sure on the committee I have a few questions on how it will be ran. I know that any member can nominate for this, but when? Can any member nominate at any time and then a discussion will be made on each individual nomination? Will it be an event set to regular intervals such as twice a year or three times a year? If it is timed, then I would assume that several nominations would be recieved at the same time. Would each nomination be handled case by case or would a set number of the nominations be included and it's the committee's job to vote which ones make it in? Is it a majority vote or will it be required that say, 6-9 members have to agree on it to be approved?

Basically, any time. Anyone can nominate any member to Raistlin, or me by PM. We haven't decided on when to have our first meeting, but when we do get to meet, all the present members at the meeting will discuss the nominations, probably individually, but all together at once or not, depending on the number of nominations, and discuss why someone nominated should or should not be inducted.

We haven't decided yet, but most likely, we'll meet a few times a year...

Each nomination will be handled. Even if one person nominates a person. The committee's job is to decide whether that person is HoF worthy or not.

Is it a majority vote or will it be required that say, 6-9 members have to agree on it to be approved?

I decided that it would be two-thirds of the committee's votes for a nominee to be approved. If it was majority vote, then we would likely have more members inducted. Each nomination will have a vote, yay or nay from the committee's members, and I think that we will require that you include your reasons why you vote that way, unless it's too much of a hassle for anyone.

Also, I think we'll have voting be done by PMs, where I would include a summary or quote the chatroom to help members who miss the meeting and have them vote based on that or use their own discretion when I PM.

It should be anyone can nominate any member to anyone on the committee. If for what ever reason someone can not make it to the next meeting then they have to forward all the noms the recieved to you. I don't really see a reason to limit it noms to just you two.

[Agent Proto]

Yeah, good point ed.

[edczxcvbnm]

Yeah, good point ed.

This appearantly why I am here

[Raistlin]

Yeah I agree - people should be able to nominate to anyone on the Committee.

Also...I dunno, but I'm not sure I like the 2/3 vote. That seems to low. I mean, if the argument for HoF isn't strong enough to persuade more than 7 or 8 members(whatever's 2/3 - what do we have now, 11?), then I don't see how they can be HoF worthy. I, personally, would rather start high(say, 100% agreement), and then if no one's getting inducted, start lowering it.

I dunno - maybe it's just me. But the way I see it, better to have less people inducted than more.

[edczxcvbnm]

Let comprimise on 83% then.

[Agent Proto]

I can do fine with 4/5 votes.

[Sepho]

Works for me.
