PEELie Council

[on:]

Ok, I'm taking TMC's advice. I'm tired of waiting around...I'm making the PEELie Council.

There will be 7 people on this years' council. If you're interested, post here. The council will be chosen from among those who post here, not in any other thread.

[Reply #1 on:]

I'd love to be part of the council in order to distract from what is sure to be the first year I fail to win anything.

[Reply #2 on:]

Can I take on a role as a receptionist? I have done it before

[Reply #3 on:]

I would say I'd like to be on but
1. I bet I'm too new
2. Probably too young
3. And I don't really post in Off Topic

If none of that matters then count me in.

oh god, just give up already

The internet sucks and don't forget it!

At least you were born fractionally outside the 80's....phew 

What was this thread about again?

[Reply #9 on:]

THE EIGHTIES GAVE US SLAYER, MEGADETH AND IRON MAIDEN!!

I don't wanna be on this gay council of gay people discussing gay things.
Fry1077 perhaps?

A council consisting of a huge gun, a nerd, a woman and a 13 year old then?

He'd make a good councillor-person, I hear he's very good with councilling people less fortunate than him

*round of applause for Fry1077*

The 80's were shite, I'm ashamed to be born in that decade. Luckily I was too young to remember most of it. Ok so there were a few decent bands but at that age I didn't know they existed and all I was hearing was the helium voiced air guitar, synth and drum machines with no bass, big hair, laughable dress sense and Margaret Thatcher, Yuk!... 

[Reply #12 on:]

See now, that's what I think too. But whenever I say something similar, people jump on me.

[Reply #13 on:]

I thought that a lot of older members were on the council. Where the hell are they?

[Reply #14 on:]

Maybe they jumped ship?

Spitting Image made up for most as that, as well some other TV programs like Blackadder and The Young Ones.

   take it to the test thread guys...

[Reply #17 on:]

Jicannon, since you've volunteered to do the dirty work of organization, I'll be on this year's council if I'm needed.

To all who spam this thread: You must not want a PEELies award ceremony this year huh?

[Reply #18 on:]

 

If you're interested, post here.

Sure, why not  I'm interested.

[Reply #19 on:]

I'll pass, only because I'm going to be busy galavanting around over the next few weeks and won't get near a PC.

[Reply #20 on:]

Hmm Melll makes a good point. I guess my entry is dependant on when all this is taking place. The next 5 weeks I'm going to be reasonably absent.

[Reply #21 on:]

That's quite enough 80's bashing from one thread, please!

I still love you, the eighties. 

[Reply #22 on:]

I am interested in being on the Council this year. And, to not spam up this thread, I won't add anything to this.

[Reply #23 on:]

If there are quite a few people offering to do a job, open a poll and choose the PEELers with the most votes to fill the empty chairs.

Or, give EVERYONE a PEELie. Either way, the system works.

[Reply #24 on:]

I would be interested in working for the annual Planet Express Employee Lounge "PEElie" Award Council.

Though, it would be of great help if someone could send to me a short but detailed work description, so I could check if I will have enough time for this in early 2007.

^-^

[Reply #25 on:]

ji will you be on it ? at any rate i offer to take part in it - just because i'm not posting doesn't mean i'm not lurking 

[Reply #26 on:]

Count me in for the council this year.

Bout damn time I should be on it! 

[Reply #27 on:]

Whatever... 

Anyways.  I'm pretty sure the council has had 9 members within it's hallowed halls.... instead of 7.  I could be wrong, but that's how I remember it.  On top of that it allows for more of the workload to be spread out so you don't rely too much on one member.

[Reply #28 on:]

From the Book of the Illuminati, chapter 4, verses 16 through 20:

"Now did the Lord say, "First thou polleth the applicants. Then thou must select nine. Nine shall be the number of the members and the number of the  members shall be nine. Ten shalt thou not select, neither shalt thou select eight, excepting that thou then proceedeth to nine. Elleven is right out. Once the number nine, being the number of the selection, be reached, then formeth ye council to oversee thine ceremony."

Tradiotionally the Council of Nine have had 9 members.

Last year they were:
Doc Thunder
Melll
F_Hill
alsate
Cloudes
Archie
Tweek
YLB
Teral

Happy recruiting.

[Reply #29 on:]

So far, I believe we have 6 people that want to be on the Council and a Receptionist.

[Reply #30 on:]

Is there only a verbal agreement with that receptionist? Because I can type upwards of 20 words per minute.

[Reply #31 on:]

  20wpm....

[Reply #32 on:]

I'm not sure if I've been here long enough to be on the council, but I will join nonetheless, if you shall have me.

[Reply #33 on:]

Given that plenty of new people wish to be on the council I'm happy to step down and give somebody else a chance to do it

It's historically been 9, you are correct. But really, it all depends on what Jicannon wants to do. Cause he took the effort to start this process and you didn't. Rolleyes rolleyes. If a council of 7 or 4 or 10 is his preference, that's what it'll be.

Correcting myself a bit - now that I have gained new knowledge meanwhile:

"I definitely would like to work for the Planet Express Employee Lounge "PEElie" Award Council."

^-^

[Reply #36 on:]

sure, i'll do it if you need more council peeps.

[Reply #37 on:]

Hi, F_Hil.  Long time not seen / talked. Glad, you're still around here.

 

[Reply #38 on:]

Bah, if anyone else is needed, I believe I had offered myself before.

[Reply #39 on:]

As I finally have broadband myself in my own house, I'd be interested in doing this if there's not already too many people. Which there may well be. (I'm not about to count...)
