[OOC] Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

[Write]

Alright well, I'm back. Had a bit of a medical scare doctors thought it could've been cancer - but now it seems we've ruled that out.

I should have a post up by the end of the day.

@Write

I think "medical scare" is an understatement for possible cancer. Glad to hear that that's been ruled out though.

@Guess Who

Yeah, you're probably right.

It is cleared up now, we know what's up and it's completely fixable my surgery is scheduled for next week so no worries.

[NaraK]

Spring Break is here!!!

@NarayanK

Lucky bastard. I still have a couple weeks. At least the teachers are all going on strike the week after so I'm kind of getting two weeks of break.

I still think the Beacon awards should be considered, it seems like it could be really fun! And there's a bunch of positives to it as well. (Promotes activity/thoughtful content, creates a monthly/bi-monthly event).

@Write

Just so I can get a better idea of what you have in mind, basically you just want everyone to post in the IC as we normally do. Every month or two though we all vote in the OOC whose post was the most enjoyable to read, made us laugh, was really creative with a fight scene, had the best background music, and/or whatever other categories we can come up with.

@Guess Who

Yeah that was the idea!

@Guess Who

Yeah that was the idea!

@Write

Well I'm game. Yo @Lugubrious, want to add in Write's idea?

[Write]

To expand a bit more upon it, this was the general thesis around it.

You'd have to elect someone whose dedicated enough to run it, or elect a new person for each award ceremony and whatnot.

At any point during the lead up to the awards you can nominate any post for any of the given awards.

Once the two month period is one week away, the person who is running the awards either for that month or in general (depending on your decision obviously) will post all the nominations. Then people will vote for each section either via PM or strawpoll or any other method that ends up being selected.

'host' then announces the winners on the last day or so.

Those were my general thoughts about how to go about the awards.

[Forsythe]

So we'd run contests within the IC as well? Sorry overkill much? What's the goal anyway?

[Lazo]

@ForsytheThey are bragging rights awards for the stuff we have to write anyway, so I'd assume most people could and would just carry on as they are.

@WriteDon't really care about it either way. I wouldn't really object to it if there's someone willing organize all that, and I guess it would encourage people to read posts not immediately related to their characters, particularly with something as self-contained as the current mission environment. At the same time, part of me is reticent to take part in anything that requires extra input on my part, such as reading these posts and picking a favorite, so even if it does become a thing I may just ignore it and just stay focused on writing my parts.

[Forsythe]

Yeah I think you underestimate the laziness of people :D

[Plank Sinatra]

Keeping up with the other characters in a game where they're all in the same classes is usually a good idea

[Forsythe]

Yeah but it looks like much more time is spent on missions *shrug* Don't get me wrong, nothing wrong with trying, but somehow I don't see people suddenly starting to read everything just because they can get to vote on who gets a pat on the back Heck there are so many reasons not to post even in team collab I could quote form our skype group xD
