Voting
Well ideally you all would register for accounts...
Assuming there are no hard chargers
I suggest we just add
:* '''VOTE''' by ~~~: And here we comment like this is the best one!!
This will look like this
- VOTE by Gelbi: Yeah, very good idea!
For the knowledge section, I suggest we use only pro-votes... so you can't vote down something. But for yes and know questions like this one: Should the Knowledge section have only pro-votes?
- YES by Gelbi: but I don't really care that much...
Changing votes
I suggest not allowing votes to change! This is not done in any election procedure I know of. Of course, in such procedures you also don't see how others vote and new candidates don't appear after you have voted. I think moving votes around causes too much confusion and can be used to manipulate the result... However since I doubt people will actually abuse this power, I don't see any real problems actually... well, I'll leave it NOT allowed for now, but feel free to change it, unless someone else again feels it can be dangerous. --Gelbi 05:45, 8 June 2006 (PDT)
A voting scheme immune to hard chargers
At least for me, votes by registered users count more. Even annoying ones that edit away my things, have at least been active, and someone with long edit history is at least guaranteed to be just one person all other accounts can be just made etc. --Gelbi 04:56, 8 June 2006 (PDT) Hehe, I want to stress that last sentence registered users with at least some edit history are at least known to be one real person!
Are there better suggestions... well this is the problem:
- Every time I redial (10 secs), I get a new IP address and could vote quite much...
- If I register an accounts, you can't even see my IP!
So here's a test, should we only count votes by registered users? (fine print: during this pilot voting -- only votes from registered users will count)
- YES by Gelbi: Of course, they have contributed more!
- YES by CeruleanNinja: ...because, even if someone is going to try to cheat by adding multiple votes, creating a new account (without history) will be a drag.
Q&A
Is there a way for us to impliment actual voting on this?
this is where you make the show for me, dammit.. be as specific as possible - for example "s-s-s-something from the comments" ain't enough...gimme the script.
- But the point of s-s-s.f.t.c. is that it's from the previous day, so you'll just have to accept a placeholder until Thursday night. Nerve-wracking, I know, but if you want to just be the talent, you gotta let the writers do their work...
the point? who made that rule? sports racers don't follow arbitrary rules.
- Easy there, hard charger -- it's a de facto rule. You can violate it if you want, but it will be less funny if you do...
(Do u want us can maybe to make video clips the also?) <-- This guy should write the whole script! 'Haha now thats funny...'
- sure - you can upload short videos to the gallery...
Where is the brainstorming page?
I nominate AaronStJ as head writer...
- I don't think we need to nominate, he already is :) Great work, Aaron! --Gelbi 19:24, 6 June 2006 (PDT)
- I think I'm more of a head script doctor. --AaronStJ 19:37, 6 June 2006 (PDT)
- Although I appreciate the work Aaron has done, the concept of a head writer seems antithetical to the point of Fabuloso Friday. We are to make the show together, as a unified Sports Racer front. Should we need executive authority to settle disputes, we have Ze.
- I agree, and claim absolutely no authority. Just a lot of free time. --AaronStJ 19:50, 6 June 2006 (PDT)
- There will invariably be a power law distribution of contributions, so it doesn't matter if it seems antithetical, since that's how social systems work. It just looks like ASJ is #1 this week. Later weeks, if there are later FF weeks, may be different. User:HokieMokie
I think it's too long in its current form -- anyone able to time it? Trim sections, or cut a section?
- It's about 5:30 right now. I think Ze wants it under 3:00. I'd rather have too much material and then trim it down at the last minute, though. We should develop all the good segments as much as possible. Maybe we can re-use some next Friday. AaronStJ 15:30, 6 June 2006 (PDT)
- Who says it can't be 5:30? It's our day and he has to do what we want! *evil grin*
I vote we eliminate the whole bible-virgin thing. Not really in Ze's style, and not really all that funny. Well, the Virginity-D&D thing was a riot, but the whole bloody-cloth was pretty dumb.
- Me votes in support of the moving of S-s-s-something from the Bible, not fatally, though. It definitely has potential for next week... perhaps with added intellectual gravitas?... --CeruleanNinja
- I added the cloth stuff and we can remove it, but mind you, it's not dumb at all, it seems to be the truth! Really, I'm not joking! It is a bit controversial, but it seems like even some jewish scholars agree on this. It's not funny, but it's shocking, if it is accurate. --Gelbi 19:35, 6 June 2006 (PDT)
- I was under the impression the parents kept the sheets from the wedding bed. Either way, it's pretty out there, and I think it's in character. --AaronStJ 19:39, 6 June 2006 (PDT)
- I think you are right and I was misguided, it was an anti-christian source claiming jewish scholars agree. Well, we'll see! --Gelbi 20:03, 6 June 2006 (PDT)
- We'll leave it for now, and cut it late Thursday if it still sucks and we need to cut material. Same goes for any unfunny section. Except aggresively unfunny sections. --AaronStJ 19:31, 6 June 2006 (PDT)
About our working schedule
This is a good place to discuss a few policy questions, like how to decide on the stories and when...
I think we should let everybody roam quite freely until tomorrow. Then maybe do some voting. Or do we need all talent to focus already? I think it's better, if people work on what they like for now. --Gelbi 06:23, 7 June 2006 (PDT)
Random comments, our little shoutbox
I'd better go to sleep (it's like 5 in the morning), it has been incredible fun editing this with you guys. Seems like Ze attracts a really intelligent audience. --Gelbi 20:20, 6 June 2006 (PDT)
- The lonelies are no longer such. Geekiness is good, embrace it. :) --CeruleanNinja
- Embraced! And even if we differing opinions about the scripts, I still like your work... maybe in a previous life, we created an earth sandwitch together? --Gelbi 06:27, 7 June 2006 (PDT)
- If everyone thought the same thoughts, there would be no Awesomeness, just plain old mediocrity. In fact, we did make a sarnie (that's how the Brits call it), and it was fantabulastic! With gherkins! --CeruleanNinja
