So i have an idea. I think Magix Club should take some members and have them be apart of the Chair Committee. They would be in charge of holding events, contests, different ways of creating entertainment for the site. I think the committee could be about 6-7 people.
It could be a good idea. However I am assuming that other members who come up with something can still bring up their idea and this means it becomes a little bit of a problem. As that member would most probably want to be in charge of their idea and not a committee which they are not involved in.
However I think your idea could be adapted/added to and have a group of members (maybe not the same ones) who say are willing to be judges, hosts, keep people's entry's anonymous and make sure people follow the rules of the contest. They of course can opt out if they want to compete but it gives people the knowledge that its likely that someone will be able to do some of the other jobs required if the contest creator cannot or needs more people
No mater what i am going to be the one controling the shoutbox balls ok
I like that idea, and I really would like it if I could be apart of that. I love being envoled in anything.
Sounds good to me, but I'm wondering if we'll get an an official response to this topic or not <.<
I think a good way to pick the core committee members is probably to start with those who already host activities and such on their own. I can think of about 5 members? Then depending on that maybe more members could be added to it or something if they want to and it seems like it would help.
also around christmas time im hosting a special yearly round of awards
I think this sounds like a great idea! It'd really help the lagging forum, which I've admittedly dropped off of a bit. But I'm here to stay, nothing will keep me away . And this might be a good idea to see the forum back.
@AP: Just because you control SB balls doesn't mean if somebody has an idea for a dance or mixer they would have to take it up with you.
i would like to be on the chair comittee cos i already have a number of things planned and even if im not on the comittee i will still be holding the events im planing wheather you like it or not
Whats with the attitude AP? Seriously, nobody said you couldnt do what you want to do and nobody is stopping you. So regardless if you on the committee or not, do you.
Anyways...
As for how the picking of the Members, I like humbu's idea. So i guess we could make a voting thread and limit everybody to 2 votes for a participant excluding themselves?
Okay everybody, so here's how we're thinking of doing it, if you have any improvements or modifications then post and we'll talk it over.
There are 7 spots for the committee. If you think you would be able to contribute as a member of the committee, then post in this topic. If we dont get 7 by Sunday, then all of the people who wanted in are in. If more than 7 people post saying they are interested by then, we will hold a public vote and the first 7 people to receive 3 votes each will make it into the committee.
i want a spot lol, just letting people know that would like to vote for me ^_^
Sounds perfect to me. I was going to say I think 5 members would be better, but this way even if real life strikes and takes hold on some committee members, the committee would still be able to function.
Just to add on though for if it comes to voting: everyone would have 3 votes (you dont have to use all 3), you cannot vote for someone more than once, and you cannot vote for yourself. Sound good?
I'm in
sounds good ill join in!
mind if i an be a nominee? since im organising MCF~DA stuff??
Yay, thanks guys for joining.
I will compile a list of everybody who said they wanted to be apart of the committee, If you want to be on just say so but as of now the following people have been put on the list:
1. Terriordx32
2. Humbu
3. Mish
4. Shani
5. AP
6. Angel
7. Tea
8. Jahnavi
9.
10.
Tea wants to have a a spoooot!
Me, please? xD
You have been added Jah :)
Okay so now that voting is inevitable, which do you guys think is better? Voting in public, so posting the names of who you're voting for in a topic; or voting through pm, so inboxing the account MagixClubAwardsVoting with your votes?
At one point mcf had a bot voting account
Oooh, ooh, Kate would like a spot too si vous plait. If they're not full and all xD.
Yea humbu I agree with you on the three vote thing and I would have to say public voting cause every one is gonna share who they voted for anyways
Well true, but if its through pm then only the vote counter(s) would see it and anyone who wants to keep it private would be able to. And then if there are any disputes it can be checked over by an admin (Boo), she has the password. But I'm just saying; I'm indifferent. Whatever the majority thinks works for me. Sunday is really soon (and has already started for some), so if anyone who sees this please posts what they think about voting, it would be helpful.
well I think using the bot account would be best
I'd probably agree with using the bot, tha way, if people want to share who they voted for then they can. And it's worked before, so why not?
Yesh, why not? 'Cause then if you don't want to share who you voted for, that works too. In a thread, you'd have to declare who you wanted to vote for. If that makes sense...
Okay, just making sure lol. The account to send votes to (MagixClubAwardsVoting) is ready to go and atleast one admin has the password, so I guess we'll just wait a few more hours to make sure no one else wants to sign up? (:
Like Marty said, I think that if a member, who is not on this committee, has an idea, than they should be able to run their activity on their own. (For example, if a member wants to hold a pixel doll contest, than they should be the one who runs it, picks out the judges, etc.) I think if the job of creating activities falls strictly upon the shoulders of this "committee", it will discourage other members from doing so.
Therefore, I think the responsibility of this committee would be not to be in charge of every activity that comes to life, rather, they should allow for independent contests, etc. to be held, which are separate from their own. In other words, I think this committee should be designed to produce more activities than we already have, but not to control all activities that are created around here.
Perhaps I would like to be convinced of a need for such a group. I kind of get the gist of why, but I would like some supporting reasons from the "group members" themselves. :)
(Do you get what I mean or shall I explain it more? I know it's worded awkwardly...) :/
Plus, I'd like to add in, it sorta makes it more...official? It's not quite staff run, but run by dedicated members of the site. And since it feels more official, then I think someone with a specific job doing that would pull through and would really give a sense of things getting done, because presumably the group would have the permission of the site owner's to run such competitions, which I guess would assure people something's going to happen.
Sorry if that makes no sense. I'm tired.
no that made perfect sence kate C: i agree also.
Humbu and Kate, you guys took the words out of my mouth. I would write something, but it would be basically saying what they already said.
*raises hand looks around*Pick me! Pick me! pretty please can i have spot on the voting ballad pretty please..if there is a spot left.
1. Terriordx32
2. Humbu
3. Mish

So this is the people whom joined thus far, I think Boo still has doubts. Idk, but we will start the ballad after boo posts.
^ Kate signed up too (after Jah), so we have 10 candidates ^^
Oh yeah! I'm number 3 xD!
1. Terriordx32
2. Humbu
3. Mish
4. Shani
5. AP
6. Angel
7. Tea
8. Jahnavi
9. kate
10. Stella
So, I'm going to give Boo until Saturday to reply. I saw that shes been a bit more active and she might reply sooner. If not, then we can setup the voting around Saturday/Sunday. Is that okay with everybody?
Don't you need an admin for the magixclubawards account?
Nope, I got permission to set up that account up.
Well, I personally am convinced. :) I hope I didn't seem too demanding or skeptical; I simply wanted to be ensured that this committee would be an asset to this forum in some way.
Please note: So long as the responsibilities mentioned are adhered to and the committee does not try to take the reigns of contests held by independent members (unless the member asks for or consents to assistance), I think it is an excellent idea that will help improve this forum.
Personally, though, I would strongly suggest running it by the rest of the active administration team, as I do not make the decisions for the forum as a whole.
I would also suggest that, if you were to introduce this in some way (perhaps when the voting is taking place), you list the responsibilities, therefore, the members will also be ensured of the benefits of this group.
(Sorry for the late reply - life has been extremely busy for me lately)
Sounds good to me (: As for running it by the rest of the active staff, Marty knows whats going on and Joy said to do whatever we can to keep MC alive, so I think it should be good ^^
I guess we could get the vote rolling now then ? =O
Yes, the voting will start. We can post the official rules later on. To make it fair were going to let all of the nominees as well as other members vote, even those who aren't here. Jah is currently on vacay, so were still going to have the voting but it wont be official until she comes back and give her votes.
I made the http://magixclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=5212!
Has everybody who was put on the list voted yet? We have plenty of time (Well at least until Jahnavi comes back.)
