I'll so totally use that once the second round of voting begins

I voted! All of the potential themes are cool, so I'm excited no matter what we end up doing. ^^

please come and vote for your 5 favorite themes

Just thought I would say hi! As haven't posted here for over 24 hours!

I think if Wyrmskylds original idea was pants, (not that Wyrm would come up with a pants idea... Unless it actually was about pants literally(do the u.s use that expression?)). I don't think as many people would have been as enthusiastic as we are
So am not suprised that, that is in the lead, but i wouldn't mind what we do, I am chuffed one of my second favorites is in the top group.

It would be interesting to see if the broader menewsha community (if they vote) agree with most of the more 'internal' group

I'm pretty curious about that, too! I figure this way we'll at least have a theme that most of us like, whatever happens with the mass voting.

dessertdesiert: Xaevan: Maha-Aamir: xuvrette: and X---AznCo0ki3:-- sorry if this is a double ping, but voting is almost over for the User Event Theme! It's your last chance to pick your 5 favorites!

And for everyone else... the reason I'm pinging those last few people again is that the vote spread right now is kind of awkward... I was aiming for 5 to 7 choices for the second round of voting, but after the top 4 there's a pack of themes that are really close to being equal in their votes.

Soo... unless this changes, my question is: Do we arbitrarily say 'everything over a certain number of votes'? if we go 'more than 5' we have 6 for the second round... for '5 and up' we have 9... And of course we have to figure this out before the 1st when the poll will go up!

What do you guys think?

I'm personally going for "everything over 5" because I think 4 choices is too few, and nine feels like a bit too many.

Yeah... Of course, there's no telling what the last few voters might do! They might make it a non issue... or make the problem worse. I'm pretty amazed that I've got 25 voters at this point! I didn't expect nearly that many, and it makes me happy so many people are interested enough!

People who have voted: I'm working on the text for the polls, making brief one-sentence descriptions of the themes that are currently most likely to be in the polls. If you want to have input on those, let me know and I'll PM you what I have so far!

People who haven't voted: VOTE!

Last day to vote guys! This is super exciting! :D

LAST FULL DAY OF VOTING!
put in your two cents, or a dollar if you have a lot to say.....
we want your opinions to help us decide our user-run event theme.
please come and vote for your 5 favorite themes

I'll be putting up the poll thread as close to midnight EST as possible! I've already got all the starter posts written out, unless last-minute voters change the poll lineup significantly-- which would be awesome. I'd love to see a dark horse in the race!

The yellow banner might take a bit longer, of course.

Also, happy Chinese New Year, everyone!

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!

thanks, Wy

Lst day for voting OoOoOh! :D

One last day and then we get to see what the top picks were!

Yeeup! And I expect everybody to start campaigning to get their friends to vote in the poll, darnit! Right now it looks like we're going to have 8 options, and I'll be putting up the new thread as close to 12 AM EST as possible... that's a little less than 6 1/2 hours, folks!

Oh! and everybody who hasn't voted... Why not!?! Come vote, and bring your friends!

please come vote!

I'm so eager to find out who the runners are!!

I'm excited too. This is such a fun thing! Eeee!

I'm excited to see what the community will pick! They've got some great options!
