Call for Articles Redux

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

Did a quick scan. Looks good so far. If you want to commit to a weekly column, I'll give you Tuesdays
else alternate tuesdays, your call dpending on how often you can do it.

[Mr_Pleasington]

I think I can do weekly.  If something big comes up I might have to pull back a bit, but I see no problem with weekly for the next few months.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

somethign big like a wedding? That's an excuse we'll allow. Until then, I expect to see something on Monday night so I can run it Tuesday

[Mr_Pleasington]

Wouldn't the article I just submitted be suitable for that?

[Spriggan]

I think he means every monday.


And Gemm let us know how you want to do it.  E-mailing one of us or PM works too.  Decide how you want the game to work and let us know.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

yeah, I mean future mondays. This one will work for this week, yes.

[Mr_Pleasington]

*rubs fingers together*

Excellent.

It is sent. SE, it's in your PMs.

I guess then, that we'll just have a link to a forum thread where people can post what they think the word means then, yes?

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

grrr... why do you peple send me forum PMs? haven't i said like a billion times that i don't CHECK my pms? Send me an email!!!

so the format is that you MAKE UP a word, we post it on the front page, and people are supposed to get what it means. Then YOU, as the sole judge, decide when someone gets close enough?
that's fine with me. So long as you start emailing them to me rather then PM.

What happens when someone gets it? What time limit? what happens if no one gets it in the time limit?

[Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock]

They have a 5 days after it's posted to figure it out. When (and if) someone gets it, I'll just throw ya a new word. If no one gets it, then I tell what it is. Simple.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

so no prizes. Check.

[Spriggan]

Maybe on the fist post Gemm can keep track of running scores, since he can edit his own posts he could do that easly.

[Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock]

So yeah, SE. You should run that word today, and it'll go until friday. I'm coming up with some ideas for what people could obtain with a certain amount of points. It may just turn out to be some sort of graphic, but if someone saves enough points, I may end up getting them an extra nice prize for putting up with me and my subconcious.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

Oh, yeah. Forgot about that. It'll show up in a bit. I'm kinda swamped.

[Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock]

That is alright. I am in no worry about the state of my affairs. Except of course about my counties libraries.
