PEELIES 2007: FOR THE WIN!!!

[on:]

We've been getting restless once more... and that time of times has returned.  We are now in the 12th month of the 7th year of the 2nd millenium, and as always, we set out to do things up right.

This is the 6th innaugural event of the PEELies, the most beloved of all PEEL award shows, and it's time to get the ball rolling.

We need a council... probably 7 of 9.  We need categories.  And ummm... we need PEELers and PEELettes, like YOU, the one reading this thread!!!

Last years council was thusly:

Jicannon (Grand Headmaster of Affairs 2006)
Futurama_Hil
futurefreak
Mr.MastodonFarm
Nasty Pasty
TheLesbianLeela
TheMadCapper

Jicannon would have by tradition say on how the council heads up.  I think he's off in marital bliss right now though.  3 of the other individuals aren't super active as of late, although TLL came around a couple days ago.  I think that leaves MMF, NP, and TMC left over to claim their spots.  We'll need more volunteers for the occassion because this is some hard work.

I know this is going to be grand PEEL... GRAAAANNNNDDDD

Anyways, a little remedial reading for those not on top of the ball:

[Reply #2 on:]

I second that. Put Clowny on that committee.

[Reply #3 on:]

Yeah sure whatever why not. I'm bored enough to help out.

If you would like me, i_c_weiner, to be on the Council, text "PEELICNCL01" to 1729 or call 1-888-PEELIES now! I'll be glad to be of service.

[Reply #5 on:]

I think those are all good people to be on the committee.  We need a ringmaster though to rigidize everything.  Anybody absolutely want to do that, then maybe we can second the nomination?  How about, first person to get three nominations as ringmaster gets it?  Go!

[Reply #6 on:]

Yeah, I'm up for another year.

Just as long as I don't have to sit next to BirthdayClown at the committee table....

[Reply #7 on:]

I'll be willing to help out.

[Reply #8 on:]

I'd love to do that job. I'd give some very bent decisions. eg. ThePunchingBagIncident for most missed. Come back Punching Lamp. I need you to remind me of my thin thread of sanity.

[Reply #9 on:]

Archie for GrandMaster Awesome 2007?  All ye who would say... yay or nay?

Plus, if he's the guy, we get [drujnken] Archie as vice president!!!!

[Reply #10 on:]

*Raises Hand*

MY girlfriend went away for 5 weeks. I've got nothing else to do...

[Reply #11 on:]

Buzzed Archie is better. Jumping around to living on a prayer at 1am. Good times. Good times. Had a nice joint to calm down... ahhhhh...hhhhh.hhhhh....hh

[Reply #12 on:]

i'll put my hand up.. i won't have much else to do in a few weeks. i'll be bored, umeployed and trip- less.. 

[Reply #13 on:]

As a newbie to PEEL, I hadn't heard about this awards thing before....

Anyway, sounds cool to me.  But I haven't been here long enough or done anything significant for anyone to vote for me yet.  LOL. XD

[Reply #14 on:]

No. You have not. I shouldn't even be posting here for I am a dumbass noob myself.

Yes.

I'm still alive and back posting here.

Might I claim my spot as councilor again?

... because I'd like to.

I'd even promise to post more, don't stone or sell forum members (as pets or fast food) and not ... Oh well.

Jicannon, by tradition, might decide about this.

[Reply #16 on:]

I say nay to someone who hasn't been here lately. Nay.

Also, I don't not want to be on the council, either.

[Reply #17 on:]

Tradition allows for old council members to reclaim their seat if they so choose. 

I like the idea of Archie as head councilmember.  If that's the case, traditionally, he picks the rest of the council with a random number generator. 

BirthdayClown will not be on the council apparently.

[Reply #18 on:]

Everybody: quit sending me emails begging me to be on the committee!! I am far too busy with having a LIFE(for those of you who don't know what a "life" is, which is all of you, look it up on Google).
<3

[Reply #19 on:]

What's Google?

[Reply #20 on:]

Arch, Winna, TMC, Jic, Pasty and FF should be in there. Plus three others. I'm thinking Snart, Nink, and Nurbot. Just to get a good mix in there.

I also think that we need to start suggesting categories.

I'd like to nominate SpacemanSpiff for funniest PEELer, and Melllvar for best bearded male PEELer, and also Nixorbo for most fearsome PEELer. Hmm. I'd like to suggest the categories "noobiest noob", "biggest birthdayclown", "most insane", "most in need of a life outside PEEL", "person who spends too little time on PEEL", "person who makes other people cringe", "person you wish you could ignore", "person who ought to post six times more often than they do", "nicest female lady", "most chivarous PEELer in a non-scary way", "scariest person in the PEELiverse" and "most vital to the survival of PEEL". There should also be an extra PEELie for the person with the most PEELies. Yes there should. I say this impartially.

..."PEELer that deserves a PEELie, just because."

[Reply #23 on:]

I'm confused, are you implying that chay's girlfriend is composed entirely of glitter, or are you saying to chay "my girlfriend now, biyatch!" ?

[Reply #24 on:]

I third Archie's nomination as Grand Headmaster of Affairs 2007, thus putting him over-the-top.

So far, here's those who reclaimed their seats:
Mr.MastodonFarm
Nasty Pasty
TheLesbianLeela
TheMadCapper

Here are those who wish to claim the empty Council seats:
Ninaka
i_c_weiner
Slackit02
chay's head
airbagfailure
CrapBag (?)

If we wish to remain with the number of seats from last year, there are 2 seats to fill. If we wish to expand the Council back to 9 seats, there are 4 seats to fill.


On the front of new categories, let's look back at the 20 categories from last year:
Lifetime Achievement Award
Most Valuable PEELer
Fantasy Mod
Capatin's Itch Award
PEEL Jailbait
Best Older PEELer
Best New PEELer
Best New Username
Best Fanartist
Best Fanfictionist
PEELer Pic of the Year
Funniest PEELer
The Big Brain Award
Nerdlinger Award
Drjunk as Fgjuck Award
Master Debator
Most Underrated PEELer
Best Sig
Sassiest PEELer
Drama Queen "Award"

I think we should have Best Comeback, Most Missed, Most Addicted to PEEL, and Best Avatar return. A lot of stuff's happened in the time since the 2005 PEELies when these categories last appeared. PEELers have come and gone. With the return of Futurama, the Best Comeback could become very interesting.

Hear hear. The whole PEELies thing is nothing without its oligarchic clique..

[Reply #26 on:]

WRONG! IT WON'T! YOU'RE WRONG AND YOU'LL NEVER AMOUNT TO ANYTHING! JUST GIVE UP AND DIE! 

And hey! I nominate BirthdayClown for every category... if he feels like it. And if he doesn't... deh. I got lazy. You know what rocks? Moss. I love that stuff!

[Reply #27 on:]

I agree that this shouldn't be an oligarchic clique. That's why we basically wiped the Council clean last year. A way to make sure the Council isn't oligarchic is to put a two-year term for members. This way, we have experience from the previous Council and previous members can reclaim their seats, yet we still bring in new members and ensure that we won't have the same people every year.

[Reply #28 on:]

TLL, name 5 members who have joined this year.

Exactly.


(While I can't name 5 members either, my point is still valid.)

[Reply #29 on:]

whatever its for ill volenteer, merely because im now a unemployed bum with nothing better to do

[Reply #30 on:]

I'd like to employ your bum.

About as valid as the American Express card I don't own, huh?

Besides, my point is till valid - more so than any American Express card of yours - that I'd like to be back into the council. What better way to celebrate my return, huh?

Also, since you asked: Futuramadrama, Books, FryFangirlLisa, JoshTheater, seattlejohn01, Bendersfan1221, ... Can't think of more right now ...

Don't listen to that clown, Amy ... I'll pay better ... um, not necessarily in money, but double chocolate chip cookies and oh, you might kill a clown once every week.

There's almost nothing as killing a clown to make you feel better ... Well, there still would be of course killing a sad clown, using only a puppy for that.

[Reply #32 on:]

I'm sorry, we can't accept "JoshTheater" as an answer. He joined on January 14 2007, which is technically still part of 2006. Also, he's not a real person.

[Reply #33 on:]

Um, however January 2007 is technically still part of 2006 ...

I mean, I understand somehow that Michael Zager Band's "Let's All Chant" counts as an 80s song, even though being from 79, but ... Well.

Besides, I don't judge you people by how much you are a real person or not. After all, how could I tell you are real?

Ah, those discussions - it really made me miss PEEL. Wait, ... nope.

[Reply #34 on:]

Not even one page full and this thread has already become shitty. Way to go, gentlemen.

I propose everyone nominates 3 people for the council. Then, after we've spammed a thread to at least 10 pages with posts solely consisting of names, we will have another thread that will be used to decide how many people should actually be in that council.
In the end, we will yell at each other a lot and Nurdbot will get banned because he's possibly a furry. Then the old council will award the PEELies to the same people as in the years before.

On a completely unrelated note, I move we ban everyone on this board who admits to being a furry.

[Reply #35 on:]

I think I can easily agree with you there, Spiff.

I don't see an actual necessity though for spamming 10 pages worth of a thread ... ever ... but that never did hold PEELer and PEELettes from doing so.

I just have no clue what's the matter with those "furries" there. So far none of them has done any harm to me, so ...

Besides, knowing you, you'll easily find another reason for banning Nurdie. (Always on the communists ... huh?)

[Reply #36 on:]

I like ic's proposal on the 2 year term for council members.  I'd completely agree with you on the oligarchic smart remark ben, but in reality, the council did change a lot last year, and over half the seats this year will be filled with new people.

I believe the process last year was thus, someone held the highest seat, in this case it was Jicannon.  I believe Archie easily has it this year, cause he's great.  Then the high council member selected the rest of the members choosing from people who were willing to be on the council.

The council then created categories (or did we have PEEL nominated categories?).  At any rate, we had a lot of newer and more varied categories, which is a good thing.

Then we had a nominations thread, where each members was allowed to nominate individuals for the categories (so that PEEL had a say in who they would vote for, versus the council).  Then voting occurred.  I believe on a whole, this was a more democratic process.

The awards ceremony itself should be a little more well made this year versus last year though.  I heartily enjoyed the webpages from previous years created solely to document the results.  The speech thing was pretty clool as well.

--------------------------------------------------

After all is said and done, I believe someone's account on the wiki is going to create a page to document the rules governing the ceremony, so that we have less chaos in getting it working.

Fuck you, I wanna post in 4 threads in a row.
