CBer Olympics!!!! Okay

Chatterbox: Pudding's Place

CBer Olympics!!!! Okay

CBer Olympics!!!! Okay everbuggy, I've had this idea for a while, but it is going to require almost all of the Cbers here to participate. I was thinking, we'd take the three months of winter to have a series of writing events here on CB. There will be two teams. I will designate a Team captain for each team. Each team will go through a series of 'trials.' Like a short story competition, RP contest, maybe find some way to make a ski lodge contest of some sort, that kind of thing. Now, I know that this is a large undertaking, and I was thinking that for each team we could have certain people participate in certain events. Now, say, if someone wanted to compete in all of the competitions, that would be great. But we also could have these people over here specalize (or compete) in short story. If that is where your talent lies. Or RPing. Each event will take place on separate threads which I will create. Now, this sounds huge , but it really isn't. Now I need everyone to join. And I would appreciate a few helping me out as well. We'll need a few to volunteer as judges for the contests. I will be a judge, and an organizer. Well, I've said my piece. Even if your a cber that only looks through RPs and never posts, you're more than welcome. PLEASE JOIN!!! We'll iencounter variables and problems along the way, but we'll figure them out as we go along, and most of all, have fun!

AGH! Sorry, I meant to say it was Poetic Panda's idea! Now I'm confused, too! So I think Poetic Panda should run it since it was her idea, unless she doesn't want to.

I said I'd run the event before any idea was even posted.

@Scylla, sorry, I must have missed that you volunteered to run the event.

@Will T., lots of CBers seem to be interested in the comic strip idea. Is that officially going to be the next event?

@Micearenice, I'd love to run the comic trip event, but if you'd prefer to run it, you can, and I'll either judge or enter.

I'm still confused...

Um...I might not have time to run it anymore...I'm in an art contest and the deadline is coming up fast! Somebody else can run the event, and I would like to help be a judge for it. This is a very very confusing conversation! Sorry if I offended anybody...I definitely did not mean to if I did.

@Micearenice, it's totally OK! I'm a bit confused, too! ;)

@Scylla, I would love to run the comic strip event, but I know you wanted to run an event, too. Would you prefer to have me run it or you?

I'm so lost, but anyway, if you would like to run another event Scylla, that's fine. Unless Poetic was wanting to. (pant, pant) I'm getting a migraine:( But you  and ballet did a really good job on the last event.

Sorry about your migraine, Will T! Just to clear things up, here's my view on what's happening:

The comic strip event is coming up next (well, maybe, I haven't heard any confirmations or denials).

Scylla would like to run an event.

I would like to run the comic strip event, but if Scylla would like to, she can.

Micearenice wanted to run the event, but then decided she was too busy.

Again, I don't really know if I got all that right. That's just my understanding. 

If I am to run the event, I'm just looking for clearance from either Scylla/Will T.

Here's my rundown of what you gathered:

The comic strip event is indeed coming up next.
I have already organized an event.
I would, yes, like to organize this one.
Micearenice did indeed decide she was too busy to run the event.
I'll probably end up running the event anyway, as I'm too quick to assume authority that I won't let this opportunity pass me by. But if Poetic Panda beats me to the punch, then I won't argue.

@Scylla, since you've already run an event, I would like to run this one if you wouldn't mind. I will make it soon.

Okay. That's fine. I'd like to make the one after this, though. Some pointers: Make the theme doable. Suggest a panel limit. Set up typical rules. Put an advertisement for judges. I don't have any ideas for the theme, I'll leave that to you. Good luck! I can't wait to see the event.

I am confused.

How many events have passed? I know one has for sure....I read the prompted short stories.

What's the next event? Can I participate?

Only 2 events have happened. The short stories was the second one, the first was the Mega Charrie Sheet Contest, which was very cool. If you have not been assigned a team, either Will T. or Scylla (?) can assign you one to compete for. GO TEAM 1!

Will T, who's on each team? Please re-post the teams so I'm less confused, and am I allowed to assign teams?
