Remember that I have no artistic talent whatsoever so banners are an impossibility from me.
That’s just for preparation, right? We’re not going to start the actual event next week, are we?

I imagine y’all probably don’t want to keep the event running too long for the sake of minimizing the amount of tallying work, but if you’re going to start before Christmas then at the very least allow for thread creation through the end of the year and offer a week or two into January for voting so that those of us occupied with the advent event — whether it’s the SMBX side of things, the external and ambush gifts, or even just folks who only have enough time in their schedules to keep up with the event — have enough time to participate.

I could start it on the 26th or conveniently, the 27th, and run it for a week or two. If that sounds better than the usual 10th-24th starting dates we've usually done, then that's fine by me, too. Gives me a chance to finish up some loose ends over here first.

If there are threads about characters or content from LPs then please cite the source - there was a bunch of researching and asking around for characters I wasn't familiar with for the Mosts last year.

I've thought about what to vote for best LP and I'm torn between

Evil Zone, Yoku's Island Express, 06, Dream Course and Bangai-O

.

I honestly don't see myself winning any awards other than most obnoxious or most vulgar (No Cussing Club in youtube comments don't hate me). Does Discordhaus/Spotzone/Codehaus/ASMTcord chatter count for mosts? I'm honestly a bit unsure, haha! On SMWC the Discord was centralized and most of the main discussion happened there, with the site becoming more of a repository for hack uploads, inane threads, and the occasional contest and event in modern years.

Talkhaus has really been mum these days too, LP threads are getting less posts, the shoutbox is mostly vacant... Discord just does that to a forum and it's a bit sad.

I will do so gladly.

Replying to various things because I was busy yesterday:
ano0maly wrote: 2 years ago I can probably make another spreadsheet for organizing votes and maybe help out tallying them. Don't expect me to do the whole thing though.
Just set up the template, and I will happily do most of the leg work.
Rixithechao wrote: 2 years ago This time we should probably push for some distinction between character and member categories from the outset, because people voting the former group in categories meant for the latter was a recurring problem last year.

Like, maybe a rule or guideline in the vein of “If it’s not already clear from the title whether a category applies to members of the community or fictional characters, please specify in the title to avoid confusion. e.g. Most Likely to Eat a Ham Sandwich (Member), Most Likely to Eat a Ham Sandwich (Character). If you want to create the same category for both groups, please make them two separate threads.”
I mentioned something like this in Discordhaus, where I suggested people be more specific in the OP of a category if they don't want it to be hijacked because of loopholes. Though I suppose finding these loopholes was just part of the fun. I'll work on some updated rules this week.

How about this: start the Mosts on Monday, December 27th, and run it for two weeks (up to Monday, January 10th). Allow category creation for the first week, and continue to allow voting for the final week. I think making the Mosts last three weeks would be dragging things out a bit. A nice countdown timer at the top of the page à la SMWC contests might be good for raising awareness and to constantly remind people when milestones will end. What do you all think?

Will add to the rules. If someone forgets to cite, I or someone else will ask for clarification in the thread itself.

That, and raocow's fanbase doesn't really seem to be growing any more? I know raocow has said many times that he cares more about quality of his fans versus quantity. But a forum relies on new active members to account for those who lose interest in the fandom, move onto Discord exclusively, etc. While he does link to the Talkhaus in the video descriptions all the time, it has pretty much become boilerplate.

Now, I don't dare suggest he make any changes to his approach, because it's what works for him, and it makes he and the bulk of his fans happy. I just felt like sharing some of my feelings on this, because I agreed with what you said. Anyway, I'm just glad that the Talkhaus still remains an option for people who aren't spontaneous enough to engage in live conversation, or are just too shy to chat in general (e.g., me).

I will be honest, I prefer the talkhaus like this. I don't like having to try and talk over a lot of other people to make myself heard. It's why I quit back when I made my first account. Feels way better now, and there are way less shitposters too, which I appreciate 1000%.

Less is sometimes more. I used to avoid posting outside my own few topics because of the more contentious nature of the forum. Now it feels mostly like a chill board with about 25-50 regulars, same as the one Discord.

Anyway, unless something happens to change things, I'll have The Mosts section up and running around the 27th.

i kinda feel bad when i overpower the discussion on discordhaus and talkhaus, tho. it's why sometimes i go a few hours without replying to anything

the other day though, i was just too tired to boot up my pc

Three people voted for it compared to two for a Shadow video and one for the Oscar one-shot... for some reason.

And to be fair, it's raocow doing a story analysis video which is a rare occurrence.

Don't worry about it. :mgmnds:

Didn't say it, but I quietly edited in Rixi's last banner there to the userbar thread just a few minutes after it was posted here yesterday.
