Title: TWG Iron Man challenge
Post by: Spriggan on April 07, 2005, 07:17:37 AM

The webcomic fiasco going on right now got me thinking we should do something like that here.  What it would be is Fell and SE each put $20 into a pot and when every one of them misses an update on the site (weekends not included) they have to use that money to buy thier respected TWG crew Pizza.  So if Fell misses one TWG utah gets Pizza if SE misses one TWG East Coast gets Pizza.  Then they start again the next day with a new $40 pool.

I think everyone, execpet maybe the international TWGers,FEll and SE, would find this a fair and worth while contest.  Not only would TWG get articles posted but we'd all get Pizza about once a month. :)

waaaaaaait a minute. If we're going to do that, then all people who get pizza get to contribute to the pot. IE, if you Jeffe and I are splitting the pizza, we each put in $10 for our share.

See you're not getting it, this is a challenge to put pressure on the Editors to post things not for us to make sure everyone is paying their fair share of Pizza.  If you don't miss a day then you don't loose the twenty smackers.

This doesn't quite work out for us who are in Montréal or Reno.  =/

Ship my pizza to me?  =þ

So essentially, the editors are paying the readers?

What possible motivation would Fell and SE have to agree to this?  That's just adding pressure to the two hardest working TWGers.

no the editors are paying the staff, the ones that write the articles that don't get posted.  Approveing an article and writeing a blurb are easy compaired to writeing.

Also, if you were too slow to catch on, I was jokeing about this but obviously some people left their sence of humor at home today.
