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...) :/

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. I dont think the committee members are meant to control everything, just to a) Do their best to make sure there's always something extra going on here, and b) (similar to what Jah said earlier) To assist if a member needs help implementing an idea for an activity/contest. So if someone wanted to hold a pixel doll competition, they could like run it by the committee to discuss the best way for it to happen, and then still be in charge of it them self if they wanted to. (An example of how the committee could help: making graphics as the prizes for a contest run by someone who doesnt do graphics). Since alot of the people who signed up have experience running events on here and all, and in the past, I'm sure we've seen competitions and stuff started by new-ish members which didnt really work out due to lack of commitment or not so great organization. Its really annoying having someone post a new contest/event, and then ditch it before its finished, especially if you've already started on or submitted your entry. Hopefully with the committee, situations like that will become extremely scarce. QUOTE 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. :) Well the need is of course to help MC become active once again, since to be blunt its been pretty dull for the past few months. With a committee of dedicated members specifically working to hold contests and events, it'll definitely liven up the forums and encourage activity from those who dont come on as much, as well as hold the interest of members who joined recently. As for from the 'group members' themselves, that hasnt been decided yet since the vote hasnt taken place yet lol. To be clear, this is just my take on how the committee works. I dont want to speak for others in case they have different ideas on what its all about, though I'm sure it cant be much different.
