Senate The Expanded Universe Senate

Still here.

 

The Senator for the Guardians of Light Jedi Fan Club is here.
and those tags aren't working?

 

Blargh, thanks for letting me know.

 

Welcome

 

Admiral Volshe reporting in as the Senator of the WJFC!

 

You missed me!

zarkinfrood I'm a Senator now, too. For the KOTOR/TOR fan thread.

 

Ah, I copied over the list. I assumed it was complete... My laziness, sorry. Thanks for signing in!

 

Tags only work for the first 10 people, I believe.

Anyways, here! Also keep the ideas coming! I'm loving what I've seen so far with the awards suggestions.

 

Been quiet, but I am senator of the Wedge Club. And I am here.

 

People could have the tagging system shut off as well. I know I do.

Robimus of the Mandalorian Club present.

 

Also, since everyone seems to be checking in maybe check out Zarkinfrood's new Trivia game while you are passing through.

Round one features 100% more Mandalorians

 

General Immodet reporting in.
How can I be of assistence?

 

We're just doing a roll call, as there has been some concern whether some senators were even present. Most of the ones that I expected to report in have done so. But please feel free to contribute to the awards suggestions! I think over half of them presented thus far are mine.

 

'Most likely to drink chocolate from a lake'
'Most likely to set off the smoke alarm in the Jedi temple'
'Most likely to spend months in their Jedi Knight Trials'
'Most likely to ask the same question multiple times of multiple people'
'Most likely to know how the folks in the GFFA do things'
'Most likely to hear "STAND DOWN" yelled in their direction.'
'Most likely to faint'
'Most likely to guzzle Mountain Dew'
'Most likely to argue with themselves using a sock'

I have some free time.

 

These are my favourites.


I have a few, not quite as crazy.
Most likely to...
"Forget where they parked their landspeeder/X-Wing/*insert SW vehicle here*"
"Get locked in the BMC's basement" (I'm allowed to say that here, right?)
"Most likely to win a Nobel Prize"?
"Join all the fanclubs"
"Beat Jello with their post count"

And instead of Most Overrated, either
"Most Underrated Patron", or "Zaniest Patron"?

 

Most Innovative is one that I feel could work.

In looking the existing questions over I'm not sure how well questions prevelent to one group of fans/one fan club work in the grand scheme of things. If there are to be questions specifically about Jedi and Sith, why not Mandalorians? If there are going to be question about Jedi, Sith & Mandalorians why not X-Wing Pilots? If there are going to be questions about Jedi, Sith, Mandalorians and X-Wing pilots why not Yuuvhan Vong. So on.

 

Why not? Because they're too lazy to submit an award suggestion to us. If they want to have an award, they can submit one.

 

Robimus some of those were extremely group-specific. We had one that was 'most likely to be a secret Siith' and that one only a handful of people knew about. So yes, those are group specific but who knows? That's where my brain was at the time.

 

And I'm fine with those staying if that is what the Senate decides.

 

Back in the day the "Most likely to die in a freak lightsaber accident" was created for one specific person. It was his award and he won it every single time.

 

Quite a good point. And I expect that to be considered in deciding which get kept. However, if some of those are selected for keeping, then one of the reasons "why not Yuuzhan Vong?" is that no one has submitted any. What I'm saying is, This discussion is open to anyone, and it's everyone's responsibility to suggest titles they would like to see. But you're right, if something has been suggested for one group and it gets kept, we must be careful not to exclude all suggestions from other groups.

No one here would do that would they?

 

One more thing so we can get the ball moving as the suggestions come in and the Senate can move on to something else. I'd like at most 3 people to look over these with me in a PM format and decide which awards to keep from the suggestions.

So I'm looking for three volunteers. Please let me know here and then I'll create a PM convo with all of us to start going over these wonderful suggestions.
