[17:02] turb these threads have polls; if you have not cast a vote in them yet, please do so as you have about 15 minutes left
<turb>
i'm here
<turb>
guessing that everyone present has voted already and isn't going to materialize in the next 4 minutes to do so, so I'll start closing the polls and getting the tallies
<smasher>
i voted in three, im abstaining from the other two as i didn't have enough time to read those
<smasher>
my androids internet is a total disaster today so i might not be very active this meeting
<turb>
voting locked
<turb>
compiling stuff
<Lakituthequick>
I too should quickly mention that I've felt like shit since Wednesday yet had to attend stuff so I haven't gotten much rest since
<turb>
same

<turb>
there's this weird thing where it's a three way tie for 17th place, creating 19 nominees
<turb>
I lopped all of them off as a result so we have 16 here
<turb>
that can be discussed here if needed
<turb>
for reference 17th is Niiue/Uniju/NanoRim
<turb>
we can vote on which two to keep if we're set on hitting that limit
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
i'm okay with just sticking with 16
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
it's not a case where we're hurting for nominees
<turb>
yeah
<Lakituthequick>
leaves a bit of room for if picaso rises in the next 12 months
<Pitohui>
I don't think we need to go up to the limit here. We have a solid sixteen nominees as it is
<turb>
if you guys are ok with it I'm not gonna push the issue, but wanted to poll about it before going ahead
<BBQTurtle>
I think we're fine with just sticking with 16.
<smasher>
im fine with 16
<turb>

<Lakituthequick>
I, too, am happy to see an unanimous 12 votes, thanks!
<smasher>
everyone who didn't vote for me should be removed from the community

<Honoka_Chaosaka>
:scream:
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
well smasher
<smasher>
good
<Honoka_Chaosaka>

<Lord_Bowser>

<Honoka_Chaosaka>
no because it's right in the thread
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
oh wait
<turb>
i think 6
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
you can't access that

<Honoka_Chaosaka>
doy
<turb>
ok so here's another award where I'm shitting myself because my votes created a tie
<Lakituthequick>
2. Lord Bowser7 (4.3%)
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
turb the most of the story is
<Lakituthequick>
12th actually
<turb>
and i'm literally just tempted to remove them and redo my own voting so it doesn't create this
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
never vote
<Lakituthequick>
didnt copy the 1
<turb>
it's frustrating
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
anyhow what's the tie
<Lord_Bowser>
not bad
<turb>
Tucayo, Koops, Shoey, Geeky
<turb>
4 way tie for 16th
<turb>
we can keep 2
<turb>
i think
<turb>
or 3 i can't count
<turb>
yeah 3
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
i'm fine with voting on this one
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
to remove one
<turb>
we're still at 15, but I'd rather vote on this one than I would favorite artist
<Lakituthequick>
well
<Lakituthequick>
looking at my table
<Meta_Knight>
im okay with voting for htis one
<Lakituthequick>
koops didn't write since december
<turb>
that's true
<turb>
I'll hold a vote anyway, but I'm leaning towards koops as the others have shown consistent activity
<turb>
we barely have anything else to do this meeting so it's fine
<turb>
I'm going to keep you here
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
you'll never take me alive, copper
<turb>
Remove Tucayo, Koops, Shoey, or Geeky? The other 3 will remain on the award and make the 18 nominee cap. (1) Tucayo, (2) Koops, (3) Shoey, (4) Geeky, (a) abstain
<turb>
2
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
2
<Pitohui>
2
<Lakituthequick>
Shoey and Geeky write monthly and Tucky bi-monthly, so
<Lakituthequick>
2
<__2257>
2
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
wait
<smasher>
2
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
wait wait waaait wait wait
Lakituthequick waits
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
tucky just stopped writing tho
<turb>
i'm still willing to keep him on
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
oh ok
<turb>
he's more recent
<smasher>
h
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
then sure
<Lakituthequick>
did he
<turb>
koops has also stopped writing right
<turb>
i don't think we can quantify him for reitred until later
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
"HI, everyone! I'm your zestful writer, Tucayo, here with the last regular edition of Take Cover! That's right, after this month I will be stepping down from this section. It has been an absolute blast to write it, and I have enjoyed every single issue, but the time has come to give the section a breather. But don't worry, we'll meet again. Don't know where don't know when. But I know we'll...
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
...meet again some sunny day."
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
i don't know if koops oficially has or not
<turb>
retired will be discussed later tonight but not in that form
<turb>
damn
<turb>
I'm still willing to leave him on since it's taking a breather and also recent
<Lakituthequick>
oh hey
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
but yeah i'd still keep tucky on
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
over koops
<smasher>
0-6-0-0-0
<Pitohui>
As far as I'm aware Koops has not officially retired, unless MCD has info I don't
<turb>
we basically defined this award as people who have written shit recently right
<turb>
plus take cover is a good section
<Lakituthequick>
ye
<turb>
it's also the last regular edition as opposed to the last edition Ever, I'm Retiring So Stop Expecting To Read This Again In Your Life
<turb>
so with that said,

<Honoka_Chaosaka>
dope
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
god i know how to read marshal dan troop
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
and i'm STILL reading it wrong
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
i'm not the only one right
<turb>
same
Toadbert has joined #mwikiawards
<Lakituthequick>
is there a right or wrong way
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
the right way is title marshal, first name dan, last name troop
<turb>
here's another award where my asshole has become a zesty gaping wasteland because of how the votes have fallen and atm i'm just honestly considering redoing it
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
but i keep reading it as first name marshal, middle name dan, last name troop
<turb>
there's other thoughts i have about c9 as well but let me compile
<Lakituthequick>
i read it as title marchal, last name dan troop
<Lakituthequick>
heh
<smasher>
"my asshole has become a zesty gaping wasteland" is my favorite combination of words ive ever read
<Lakituthequick>
ah yes, a five-way tie for 15th
<Lakituthequick>
nice

<turb>
yeah
<turb>
five way tie
<turb>
so _
<turb>
that 100% needs to be addressed
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
i'm glad you guys put on the one section of mine i cared about getting on this award
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
thanks <3
<turb>
i feel ______________________________ about star's section being on the award over ones that have consistently gotten sotm because it's not even released yet lol
<turb>
that's not a blow against the quality of the section at all, if anything it means people like it and would vote for it if the ac is reflective of the votes
<turb>
I just expected higher turnouts from stuff like mario's boombox and etc
<Raregold>
Spacing Out does only have a single issue so I'd be okay with removing it
<turb>
if we do remove it we still need to prune the tie
<turb>
iirc
<turb>
let me make sure i can count
<turb>
oh no we can get them all in as 18 i think
<Lakituthequick>
yeah
<turb>
someone else should probably make sure I'm counting right because i'm vaguely out of it
<turb>
I think i'd prefer to go that route, but I'll hold it to a vote so that if we want to keep it on and instead mess with the tie we can
<turb>
democratic process and all
<Pitohui>
Yeah, I'm also counting under 18 here
<Lakituthequick>
my text editor counts 18 pieces without star's section
<turb>
gr8
<turb>
Remove Spacing Out from C9? y/n/a
<turb>
y
<__2257>
a
<smasher>
a
<Lakituthequick>
y
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
y
<BBQTurtle>
y
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
there's always next year
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
after she's written a bunch
<turb>
yeah, I'm absolutely on board with having it on next year
<turb>
it's also still eligible for write-ins obviously
<Raregold>
y
<Pitohui>
Am I just an idiot or is there a reason I keep counting fourteen with Star included?
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
that adds up right tho
<Lakituthequick>
you're not counting the tie
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
five-way tie for 15th
<turb>
that should add up right
<Lakituthequick>
for 15th
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
tie nominees weren't put on due to not being official yet
<turb>
the five-way tie is the problem since star's section included would make it 19
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
also
<turb>
if we remove it due to the lack of longevity reason, then we can fit the whole tie in
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
i have to comment
<Pitohui>
Ohhh!
<turb>
what i was worried about was i was counting it wrong after the removal and the addition of the tie
<Pitohui>
Thanks for clearing that up
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
legitimately surprised obituaries performed as low as it did this time around
<Pitohui>
In that case, in response to the poll
<Pitohui>
y
<turb>
i'd say 8 votes total is enough
<turb>
with that, let me get the new spread
<smasher>
this is one of the two i didn't vote in, for the record

<Honoka_Chaosaka>
wow smasher
<smasher>
6-0-2 btw
<turb>
if anyone wants to make sure that's 18 again i'm game
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
time for you to leave the community
<turb>
but otherwise wii did it
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
by force.
<smasher>
no
<turb>
we'll tackle the last poll and then jump to C2 longevity requirements
<turb>
and then after that i basically literally have nothing on the itinerary so you can probably just leave or talk about tournaments or something
it's about deciding the cutoff for how long is too long to be retired
<turb>
i don't want to be very restrictive about this because then the award is just dying before it gets off the ground
<turb>
both anton and I prefer 5 years for a cutoff point on this
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
i'd prefer 4 years myself
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
but that's just me
<turb>
5 years would cut gamefreak, 4 years would cut both him and smb
<Lakituthequick>
with the list in the thread, there is not difference between 4 and 5
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
not this year
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
smb would be cut next year
<Pitohui>
I'm also in favor of 4, honestly
<turb>
oh yeah
<turb>
I can't count
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
2015 was only four years ago turb
<Lakituthequick>
*no
<turb>
i thought it was 5
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
i know time is fast
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
but not THAT fast
<turb>
I'm not going to die on the 4-year hill
<turb>
like 5 would be a nice round number because i'm gay for 5s and it's also stil lgenerally within some realm of relevancy
<turb>
but as long as it's not cutting it extremely close to the grindstone like 2 years, I will survive
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
retired within the last month
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
cut everyone
<Lakituthequick>
yeah 2 is too short either way
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
the past must burn
<turb>
:nabber:
<turb>
but yeah i still support 5 based off anton's post in that we can all remember 2014 fairly well still
<turb>
it'd also make next year easier to deal with, but i suppose we can also take into account that tucky might be getting added to this?
<turb>
idk what he writes besides take cover anymore
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
yeah
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
it's not like everyone currently writing for the shroom is always going ot be writing for it
<turb>
i'm assuming no one wants to go for 3 or 2 years
<Lakituthequick>
take cover is the only thing as far as i see
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
nop
<turb>
at 3 i start sounding the alarm bells lol
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
[s]12 years
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
[s]lets get some 3Dejong up in this award[/s]
<smasher>
i kind of like the number 5 but im not going to care heavily if its 4
<turb>
What should the cutoff point for C2 be? 1. 4 years, 2. 5 years, 3. longer, 4. abstain
<Pitohui>
Yeah, I prefer four but I'm fine with five - it isn't that big a difference
<turb>
2

<turb>
yeah i should've made them letters
<turb>
or zalgo text
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
your /face/ is an intuitive voting option
<Lakituthequick>
(suggestion for next time: 4, 5, +, a)
<turb>
good idea
<__2257>
∞
<Lakituthequick>
good, that means everyone will vote for me
<turb>
i was gonna wait for more votes but i guess that's like literally everyone present and on the ac lol
<Lakituthequick>
y'know that feeling that you have something important on your clipboard but forgot what
<Lakituthequick>
i just had that but it wasn't important
<turb>
it is fairly close due to the amount of people here, but I'll say 4 years won for now and if it's a problem we can confront it again in the Complete Review
<turb>
i feel like that when i have porn and haven't copied the letter A over it yet
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
i'm glad i'm not the only one who does
<__2257>
ha ha same
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
automatically copy random text to prevent any accidents
<__2257>
my clipborad has a history thouhg...
<turb>
fear
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
scared
<Lakituthequick>
i don't have it with that sort of content luckily
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
[s]ah, a man who types his links in, i see[/s]
<turb>
anyway now that that's all addressed
<Pitohui>
Half of my clipboard is just BBC articles and I accidentally send them to people too often
<turb>
i don't know what else we're supposed to be talking about
<turb>
22 is there anything else in the schedule i forgot
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
can i use the next fifty minutes
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
to talk about the history of railroads in the united states
<turb>
go ahead
<turb>
but first let me say
<__2257>
did we talk aboujt the dossier
<turb>
dossier needs to be done
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
oh yeah
<__2257>
ok
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
who do i send reference links too
<turb>
i don't know how much can actually be tackled in this meeting itself
<turb>
but just general reminder that it needs to be done
<turb>
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
because i can get all mine complied like
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
Right Now
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
well not QUITE because one of my links will be to something not out yet
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
but still
<turb>
probably just me and anton and the community awards host which I'm like 99% sure is raregold but i'm dumb and don't have the list
<Lakituthequick>
15:14 Anton{Politoed} that after this is the complete review
<Lakituthequick>
15:14 Anton{Politoed} I'm thinking of giving a Bye week, no meeting next week and then do the review then
<Lakituthequick>
15:14 Anton{Politoed} but we can see how people feel about that
<Lakituthequick>
15:15 Anton{Politoed} then open discussion for tournaments and e3
<Lakituthequick>
15:15 Anton{Politoed} that's really it
<turb>
yeah
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
sounds good
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
raregold is the host year
<Honoka_Chaosaka>
*yeah
<Pitohui>
It is, and I've informed Raregold about the Dossier and given him an overview of what he'll need to do for it - as best as I could, at least
<turb>
but yeah just generally saying that that needs to get done, complete review coming up, polls being made by awards staff and set up
<turb>
and gr8
<__2257>
has ltq been spying on our secret room :pensive:
<turb>
if you guys want to talk about tournaments RIGHT NOW you can
<turb>
yeah i was wondering about that LOL
<Lakituthequick>
anton send it too me because there wasn't word back yet
