Debating competition - DEFINITELY!!! I'm assuming the creative writing and essay ones will go somewhere in the FanFictions, but I hang around there...

Well, if you want ideas then I've got one for the big debate: Which Pokemon game is the greatest? People can debate for RBGY, GSC, RuSa or FRLG... Well, that's about it at the moment, I'll probably think of more ideas after school today.

Well, if they just say things like that, then they're not very good debaters are they? Maybe you should put a "How to debate" Guide just before the debate starts or something so that the newbs or people who can't debate can see how debating should be done or something... Meh, I've got school in half an hour, tests and everything... my brain just doesn't seem to be working today...

PC got a tendency to skip all forms of introduction, rules or any thing regarded to reading, and jump right into posting...

Proof? In MOTM there are still people voting 4 people in a category. Sometimes there are people who vote someone more than 4 times. In one of my threads where I said specifically not to post there because I'm trying to assemble a FAQ, but then there are people who refuse to read the first line of bold text and jump right into posting.

Debate = sadly not too suitable for PC... plus it's chaotic to debate with 30 people on at once

Are we still gonna have a singing competition? Hehehe...

LanceLite May 7th, 2004 12:08 AM

I think a pokémon karaoke competition is a great Idea. I was also thinking about having a scary and a funny face competition. It would require members have a digital camera or a scanner. But how cool would it be to see all your friend with showing their scariest or funniest face to win the "grand prize"?.

Dizzy May 7th, 2004 11:08 AM

Song Competition--Sponsered by blackdreamrave (Dizzy's company). I can post some songs up just for the occasion if you'd like.

Jess May 7th, 2004 11:37 AM

When is this going to happen?

I would love that... I would so win with my picture at Halloween. It even scared my parents once it showed up on the computer, and if I edit it with fangs... who knows what I could do. What would be the grand prize for winning?

Hmm...I have a good scary face that I posted on here...

*recalls his picture with the pillow*

Hehe..

Woah! Another get-together? Do they happen twice a year?

Dizzy May 7th, 2004 12:37 PM

They happen whenever someone schedules it, jordan!

Latios Master May 7th, 2004 1:33 PM

For the writing competition, can I use the story I used for the last Get-together? You never even said who won for that one. x.x The story was about a place that I made up in the Pokemon world. It had some characters from the TV show too.

Sakura and Espeon May 7th, 2004 3:35 PM

I can fully write a 5 paragraph essay. ^_^.... lol...

Rift May 7th, 2004 3:44 PM

sheesh, dont even mention Essays while im around, ill probably purade it and eat with a sandwich, i ate...i mean hate (XD) essays! lol well is there going to be a get-together besides from all the other stuff XD heck i might even be in a couple of those things! who knows! :laugh:

Cherrim May 7th, 2004 3:56 PM

The first formal essay I had to write for grade eight was 5 pages. @[email protected] 5 paragraphs is nothing, lol~ I do like the idea of an essay-writing contest, though. ^_^;

frosty has a very good point about the debates, though. Considering some people, whom you would fully expect to read rules and follow them, can't even follow the simple rules of MOTM voting... and considering how many people can't maturely handle a debating topic now - how can we know that a debate would be carried on maturely when there are twice the amount of members participating at once. Seems kinda chancey to me, now that I think about it. :\

100marios - The get-togethers happen every few months, usually. ^_^;

Rift May 7th, 2004 3:59 PM

Hey i was wondering, can we have Get-Together 6 this weekend? XD

Cherrim May 7th, 2004 4:06 PM

We have to have Get-Together 5 first, Scott. ;p So I think 6 is pretty much off for this weekend, lol.

Maybe we should schedule G-T 5 (too lazy to write the whole name) for next weekend (May 14-16, if we're to have it from Friday-Sunday). If it's the weekend after, I won't be able to attend. :\

Kairi May 7th, 2004 4:30 PM

I think it worked better as a one day thing, since everybody knew they had to get on around that time. Sure… some people couldn’t make that, but it’s better than having nothing to make it to. =\

I also really think it’s got to be more publicized this time, as no one was aware of the last one really. Get some energy going for it yeah? Everybody should be aware of it, send out PMs and get everyone involved in the planning. Remember the turn-out for the first one? Slow server, but it was a lot of fun!

Just opinions though.

Chairman Kaga May 7th, 2004 4:35 PM

It's always so embarassing to ask n00b questions, but I might as well for all the other people who are wondering...what exactly is this? I know it has to do with all being on at the same time and participating in special topics and contest, but are there any other particulars to this beyond the special events?

Kairi May 7th, 2004 4:41 PM

Originally it was a way to boost activity, at the first one we didn’t have any events or stuff. This resulted in a lot of topic-less chatter and roleplay, though it was fun. The only downside was our server was pretty bad back then, and as a result pages took a monster time to load. It was a blast though, since everybody was on and chatting. So we’ve slowly added events to help give it some direction, but it’s still primarily a chatting-party0thing. o.o;

Yeah, I love the party0s. ;p

Kairi pretty much summed it up. Although we could hold all of these activities on their own with no occasion, it can be so much more fun to hold them during a day like this because you get more participants and instead of having to wait a long time for replies, they come almost instantaneously. ^^;
