Re: Debate - The Ravenblack City Awards

There was a City spirit or some such category that I couldn't figure out what it was about... All I kept picturing was pom poms and high school cheer uniforms.
We had them on VNN, too, and basically... they're fun? I personally loved the UNcouple award, matching people together who weren't together because they seemed well suited.ophelia wrote: ↑Tue Jan 02, 2018 12:37 pmThe Awards show have been around for far more than a decade, having been created- much like the first newspaper in this format, by Jauk.
The categories are largely unchanged though worded differently and perhaps with a few additions.
Virgo asked for and is always open to input. Ill even try to find a paper that hasn't been destroyed to find a list- or maybe pick Jauk's brain over it for verification. Having said that- many nominations are mind boggling and historically, always have been.
I voted Jauk for the 2017 Class President. She spent months putting together city information for newcomers [gathering information and with some help], tried to get the WC going and while it was a bust (in no small part to people being outright assholes about how they expected things to be if they graced her measly self with their participation) the information is still there and available for any and all newcomers.
If something isn't clear- ask virgo. I know I had to.
ETA: As for things being 'mean-spirited' I have to question what city people have been residing in. Fly On the Wall anyone? RBC Rumor Mill? That's just to name only two publications and not even touching on individual articles and posts. We can all say this isn't how it should be- but it is how it's always been. We just see it more blatant these days- and it's often overlooked until you're an actual target of it [generalized you]

What I would love to see in future awards nominations is a place for people to leave an explanation as to WHY they are nominating someone, because it is always a popularity contest. It is usually people nominating their loved ones for a good award, and their enemies for a humiliating one. Once it comes down to voting, it would be great if there were some small write ups to explain each nominee, and gives the voters more to consider.
That made more sense in my head.
I love this idea!!!Narcisssa wrote: ↑Tue Jan 02, 2018 1:04 pm

In the last month, you've written two editorials, columns, or some variety of opinion-based piece.
So keep on, or change my ways? I'm receiving mixed messages from you, Liander. A little help?Liander wrote: ↑Mon Jan 01, 2018 7:20 pmLess Talk, More Action
While Oberon does possess the attitude of many bar fledges, in that he is rather elitist for someone who has never actually done anything and has yet to learn to keep his opinions to himself until such a time as he contributes to what he is commenting on, for the most part (emphasis here because I know this is not always true) he speaks intelligently and with something approaching dignity in himself - both of which are qualities AlexAyres lacks. Alex likes to talk quite a lot of shit and then whine when he's hit for it, which is why he has received my vote this year.
