Oh I wasn't picking on him. I thought by "accidents" you meant snapping off
a rude comment or something and then wishing you hadn't. Thinking before
you send is a good road-block for that, unless you send the rude comment to
the wrong person. ;)
If it's simply spelling mistakes or misinformation, those can be easily
corrected, even if you do get a jumble of telegrams at one time.

George Bush and Gladiator? LOL. Tweety Bird would say this: I think I

Look at the area map of the US showing what each district voted for. Most
of it voted for George Bush. =P Yeah, I know that's because half of the

Lara I totally agree with you. Excellent idea. The judges however should
be proficient in the area that they are judging in.
Goober King, if you're reading this, perhaps you should create a
representative position that will deal with issues for the Cy Awards. I
know that's branching out from the Citizen's Union's original purpose, but I
think it would work great.

CU I think just bit the dust. :\ I do know the Cy's are not part of AWC
and that's why I said having a CU rep for them was branching out a bit from
CU's original purpose. Just so you know. :) Thanks for the poll. Hope
you take Lara's suggestion and put it to some serious thought.

Oh yes.. .forgot. Some other things you should probably address is better
vote retrieval system. E-mails work great, but only if the only ballots
accepted come from addresses from registered ISP domains, and NOT free
e-mail services. Anyone can sign up for almost an infinite amount of free
e-mail addresses and send ballots from each of them, proverbially 'stuffing
the ballot box'. In my opinion, requiring ballots to come from non-free
email services like Hotmail and Email.com would help contribute towards
legitimizing the Cy Awards (or the PYs, whichever you decide to go with.
;)).

I'm on Rick's side about custom avs. Never say something is easy unless
you've done it yourself. :) For all we know, the code could be very touchy

avatars that people could change whenever they wanted to. AW already has all
of the code necessary to download, cache, and display avatars, so getting
them from a different location shouldn't be *that* hard. The only problem
that might occur would be with the additions to the citizen database and
uniserver->browser protocol. Without looking at AW's code, I can't know how
hard changes to those systems are.

Just a forewarning... long post down here. :)
Just a quick question... did you tell them representatives would be elected?
Also... AWDebate stole the fire. :) Like the battle between BetaMax and
VHS, similar standard, but only one idea won out. I think what they said
one of their deciding factors not to support the citizens union is because
the suggestions would be dug through and only the ones to meet the
representatives' criteria would be presented. The inherent flaw in this is
that the reps might have their own agendas. But then again that's what the
elections are for. :)
What I found odd about this is that AWDebate decided to have an open forum
where everyone could talk and that the Citizen's Union, sensing Rick and
company would not want to weed through all the useless and agenda-driven
suggestions, decided to weed through the suggestions for them to make for a
more presentable format.
Goober King, keep it up with the Citizen's Union. Restructure it a bit
according to what Mr. Noll has layed out in his letters to you though. May
I suggest that you don't call it a union? Because it shouldn't be. Unions
can be driven by who's on top. I've heard of lots of stories where many
union members didn't want to strike, yet its brass decided they should.
Perhaps that's what was communicated to Mr. Noll through the name. However,
CU has far more potential than just communicating with AWC. It could also
communicate user's wants to The Cy Awards, AW Festival, AW Reunion
Committee, ABN, etc., as well as to AWC. I say wants because that's what we
want.
Rick and company, I'm glad you're making more visible efforts for community
development and whatnot. Please keep it up.

Ugh I can't stomach through reading through another long and boring letter.
But if my guess is correct, you're basically saying Mr. Noll doesn't care
about us users, and to which I'd reply... AWDebate. Response to GK's
letters of concern. Response to GK's Citizen's Union proposal. Hey, he's

Tourists are fine. It's the cits that go around in Tourist mode that are
worrisome, because they usually are up to no good. The GK was merely being
suspicious, and rightly so. I am not saying that because I thought you were
up to no good, just that citizen tourists in general have a reason to be in
tourist mode, and most of those reasons are not exactly ethical.
However I still don't understand why the GK wouldn't tell you how to post,
since it's obvious it's a requirement to be a registered citizen to post
here.

Because there are those of us who build almost exclusively in AW world. We
know that they don't have the time to manually add custom avatars for the

The Citizen's Union was meant to accomplish the same goal AWDebate is trying
to do. However they are two different ways of going about it. So can we
have both? Or just AWdebate?

It's a question of whether or not, with some restructuring, AWCom would
support it as they have AWDebate.

The Citizens Union was not going to control access to anyone. They were
going to have public meetings, in which the representatives would gather the
"good" ideas and present them to AWCom in a private meeting a few days after
the public meeting.
The word "good" was probably a bad choice of words. "Appropriate" may be a
better choice... either of which mean in this case that all the ideas that
aren't stupid, like chaining ourselves to Enzo's door, would be presented to
AWCom in a private meeting.
The difference between the Citizen's Union and AWDebate was simply that the
Citizen's Union was going to do the idea filtering for AWCom. The thinking
in this was that a professional line-by-line presentation of the ideas for
AWCom was a better practice than just having AWCom be present and
potentially become citizens'-fodder at the public meetings. I think we all
see now that that was its inherent flaw and ultimate failure.

Another Telegram bug:
I'm not sure on this, but is it supposed to read the telegrams when you
select them? All it says is "says" and does not read the telegram.
Probably because nobody's name is infront of it the text. :)
