2007-02-08 [Hedda]: Looks like a good start! I'm 100% behind you... The important word being "behind"

I'm not going to lead this one, nor make things happening. But I'll fix stuff and correct things missing and stuff like that.

2007-02-08 [Hedda]: The image thing though:

I think we should run two competitions. One for photos (and real looking photo manipulations) and one for art (drawn or fantastic/artistic photo manipulations). There are tons of people who love to dress up as vampires, so I think we'll get a huge collection there. Maybe we should keep the real photo contest running until December though to get some great looking Halloween photos in it too.

2007-02-12 [xido]: Sounds like a deal. I will ask [Angel Dreamer] and [Linn Scarlett] from the WFR Guild Members for their input of help as well, to make sure that nothing lags behind (I understand and appreciate you stepping down from leadership in this.... ;)). They are currently the ones working on the Creature_List as mods, so it will directly relate to what they are doing with the content on those pages.

I will ask [Artsieladie] for her input on running the image competitions, and - for the Photo Contest - you want me to run that one all year, 'til 2007 December?

Also, now that I see how to use the 'View Diff' feature on wikis, I can see how to best evaluate the text contributors... though, in the future, I would like to consider a slight variation on the winner(s) of such a contest. If a single entity needs to be chosen for it (and this could be a group of people), then I think the group of people should be chosen PRIOR to the contest.

Key idea: Undead Clan is my idea for the GOP rp that I am setting up....  BUT, it is also a members group that could be considered a singular entity, and all non-Clan members who post contributions would then be singular entities. That way, when a winner needs to be chosen, the moderator is not overwhelmed by trying to figure out who did what (and IF they were a part of a group). A single group could post as a group, and all the other people could post as independent contributors, or else join the Undead Clan (which is the only group entity posting as a singular unit), and add to their final contribution. If the Undead Clan's singular contribution is the best in the end, the whole Clan gets the badge that they could have earned as a single contributor.

Further, by having the Clan structure (and being a sovereign organization), Clan images, ideas, graphics, media, and ET-specific stuff can be made for groups members to join into the wikipage group. It makes both an info page (made by team members), and a Clan page, which means that it will be even easier for Elftowners to join a group of their choice.

Elftown-sponsored fantasy race groups are a good idea. I know they are. [Kim_Lundin] has already chosen to get involved with the Dwarfin Clans, and I am taking the Draconic Clan to list volunteer members of a Dragons network and RP Clan Council, which will contributes the full info from Dracology and my class on Dragons as a single portion of content.

Ideas, ideas, ideas....  :/

2007-02-12 [windowframe]: Response to message: I'll help in any way I can, [xido]. :)

2007-02-12 [Linn Scarlett]: I will try and help but I am not sure if I can, I am using my supervisor's fieldcomputer right now -because I have no life and need internet to be happy :P- Corrently I am in a tent in the middle of Drente-nowhere. In the mud and the rain on an excavation, but Ill try to stay in touch

2007-02-13 [Hedda]: The image-contest is a piece of cake to run and I'll help you with that. If [Artsieladie] is leading it, she'll have a problem to be in it, and that would be sad

Yes, run the photo-contest until Dec 2007, and we'll see how people find such long running contests. It hasn't been tried before, and I want to know

2007-02-13 [Hedda]: There: What about that division? I'm not trying to boss around, I'm just suggesting.

2007-02-13 [Kim_Lundin]: Well, I've never really helped with a contest before, but there's a first time for everything, right? I'll help if I can, but I may need someone to point where I'm supposed to run.
