Fall show balloting submission guide lines

[Firemage]

To submit a show for consideration on the fall ballot i would like a few things.

These are due by 7PM 9/11, please turn in before if you can but this is to also give new people a chance to turn in options at the meeting, and me time to get a ballot printed before the meeting is done

More details are still being hammered out.


But voting will go from when we get the ballots made then till 9pm thursday 9/17 so i have time to count and get the content together, giving both old and new members time to vote.

What people need to turn in for new shows is simple.

Title: (english or japanese, please use ANN/wiki titles)
Genre(s): (Shounen, Shoujo, mecha)
Broadcast year:
Source: (DVD or Fansub, if licensed DVD must be provided<or found in my collection>)
A short Intro to what the show is about. (about a paragraph)

Shows can be posted here or sent to me as PMs, people can either opt to read shows of their pitch off to the crowd or i and nate may just switch off on the ones who don't have someone opt for them.

Meaning you can suggest a show and stay anonymous or be public about your suggestions.

more one balloting will be said later on.

Does this include shows already on the suggestion list or the considering list?

[Firemage]

i'm just going to say start from scratch, unless people want me to just do write ups for all already suggested/considering allowing people do dig around a bit more.

can we limit it to 1 show per person unless we don't have enough submissions to fill the line-up?

[Firemage]

nope, make all the suggestions you want, just try not to over lap

note 2 people can also pm suggestions to me as well

note 3 you might see me editing some of the posts, i'll be adding * which means that said suggestion is already in the hands of your dear president

note 4 i'd consider Mazinger Z, Mecha (super type) but i'm a mecha nut so....

More on the way

[Firemage]

while i'm not looking for a term paper, i'd still like something more than a line, a bit more meat for the voters to grab on to.

[cyberlink420]

When in doubt, steal a plot description from Wikipedia/ANN.

[Firemage]

What kind of test are we walking about? Who invented this test? What are the criteria? Who or what gets the final say? I hope it is the members and not the staff.

Also, I just realized that the submission time is set for an hour and a half after the first meeting begins. What is going to happen during that time? Are we spending all that time making suggestions and deciding what to watch? That seems flawed.

I presume you are going to decide the line up for the first day on your own. I hope the first line up has suggestions made by as many members as possible.

Also on a similar subject, I think the club constitution needs a major overhaul about what to do in case of conflicts. There should be clear lines and details about how to handle these things. To my knowledge, the current one is insufficient.

Title: Afro Samurai: Resurrection
Genre(s): Shounen –Samurai
Broadcast year: 2009 (1 episodes)
Source: ENGLISH MOTHER FUCKERS DO YOU SPEAK IT
A short Intro to what the show is about: People getting sliced up real good.

[cyberlink420]

I'd suggest Genshiken as well (if I could actually get my hands on the DVDs), but I'm afraid that if we show an anime about an anime club meeting DURING an actual anime club meeting, it might cause a paradox and destroy the time-space continuum.

[Firemage]

rpx - your source is lacking

L - not to mention the show is an acquired taste for some, personally i like the manga better
