The "General" Superlatives Topic.

[ShadowTiger]

There's nothing stopping anyone here from introducing and debating categories. :p THAT part is the same regardless of the voting method.


I'm leaning towards the second (More recent) method though, just so nobody has to be a baby about it, as we've heard. I'm amazed nobody cares which method they'd prefer. The first method is much, much more interactive. The second method is more like "Let's just vote and be done with it."


Of course, it's only been one day since this forum had even been created. (Two, really.) That's not a lot of time at all, considering that we're all doing this in the wide open spaces of GD's vicinity. I don't like it how people can feel that they're being rushed when we're not on a very set deadline. I'd like to do it quickly, yes, but not so quickly that people don't get their say.

Here's a few more categories that I can think of:

Worst Temper
Most intellectually confusing posts
Most likely to post on AGN when he's 75
Most lifeless (the person who spends the most time at AGN)

I like those. Add them in.

How were the superlatives done in the past? If I remember reading correctly, different methods were done different years. Which one worked the best, seasoned veterans?

[moocow]

Make up an official document or whatever of every category. Anyone who wants to participate can fill it out and PM or E-Mail it to you. Then you can go through them. Set a time limit.

I stopped reading posts after Beld's, so if someone already suggested this, I apologize.

Best Programmer - this one should be removed. the only programmers here all work on ZC. So really, the choices would be DN for ZC and Sean for ZCL.
Best Photoshopper - as was previously mentioned, we should take this out. we haven't had any member photoshop wars in ages

should be added in--

Worst Temper
Most intellectually confusing posts - doesn't this kinda go hand in hand with the 'least understood' award?
Most likely to post on AGN when he's 75
Most lifeless (the person who spends the most time at AGN)

[phattonez]

^^Least understood could also be just stupid posts, intellectually confusing is like what happens to me when DD is talking about some really advanced math.

I've got some award ideas:

Morbo Award: Most morbid member
Sheep Award: Biggest brown-noser
River Award: Whiniest member

By the way, I'm glad to see that you guys are thus far successfully avoiding superlatives that can be objectively determined.

So far, so good.

Maybe you should just make a sticky thread with the superlative categories?

[ShadowTiger]

This thread is already as stickied as I can make it.

The Superlatives work, though I'm loathe to introduce as many of the negative categories for the very reason that some people didn't want to do a Superlatives at all. I find it hard to believe that someone can be voted "whiniest member" and not whine about it.


May as well start soon; I think we have enough categories, unless people want to procrastinate more.



And for the love of god, would people please choose a voting method without pussyfooting around it or dodging it or phrasing your answer in the form of a suggestion?

Method 1:

1. We can suggest categories for the superlatives. (Best avatar, Most likely to ____, etc.)
2. We can decide amongst ourselves which are good and which are bad.
3. When we have a solid set, I'll tell everyone to PM me with X amount of names to nominate. Obviously, these nominations will be kept in the utmost of secret.
4. When I have enough, (Not so much enough, as "The deadlines has passed." ) I'll just start making polls in the Superlatives forum just like Foxy did in 2004.
5. They should all be no-reply. It'd also be nice if it were invisible until the time of voting, and if voting in each poll doesn't bump it. Those aren't up to me though.

Method 2:

This other choice we have is that once we finish the ideas for the categories, you can all just send me your PM's with one (Or two? - We'll talk about that too.) people listed as your votes for each category. Then I'll Put them all together in my PM Box and Wordpad, and just make a single topic in GD with the final results. No muss, no fuss. Just PM me once and wait for the end game. That's it. No choices. Just naming your best bets. You won't see a single poll.

Reply without picking a method, and I'll totally hate you forever. *Chagrin*

Method 1 or Method 2.
Nothing else please.
