I can't remember meeting either Strike Rapier or Lady Teal so believe I'm
impartial.

I want the Cys very much.

I think sack Lady Teal, let Strike Rapier run the show.

around since early 1999....Long enough to know that they weren't always
like this, but also long enough to know that the last 3 or 4 years of
them have been a joke.

No, you're right. They weren't always that way. In the beginning, they
were very reputable and it was a true honor to be awarded a CY.

It seems to me that her "i quit" post was pretty angry. I don't believe
that she quit because she didn't enjoy doing them. I know she loved the
CYs and poured a *lot* of time into them. It was the people and politics
that made it unbearable. Who's to blame her for quitting? Because of the
ideas and cannotations associated with the CYs now, I can't blame her
for wanting to completly dissolve them when she quit either.

I'm a firm believer that the CommunitY needs a new award with a fresh start.

[View Quote] Just my view, GK's are overrated. So, her being the leader.. well..

Oh just close down AW forever!! CY nothing but a populatity contest
anyways. look at some of the junk that one in the past ; )

To be honest it looks like to me ORB was right . Mark was not the person
to be involed with CYs.

I'm just saying who Lady TeaL is. You said you didn't know her.
and TL just means Team Leader. We have 10 of them. She isn't *the* leader.
: )

But Lady TeaL has been actively involved with GKs for 5 years, so yes, she
spends a lot of time in AW and is committed to making the CYs the best it
can be.

And yes, maybe GKs are overrated. Maybe not. But that's another thread.
hehehehe

Here's a suggestion.....Instead of bickering over how much orgizational
experience a GK TL has... Start something NEW. Build it from the ground up,
a fresh start. Change can be for the better ya know. There wasn't always
going to be a Cy Awards, just like one day...eventually... servers will be
erased and taken away, and none of this will be here. But in the mean time,
if you want an awards program, than make your own...(YOU being all of you as
the whole community.) Give it a name, something people can associate with
maybe... The Avatar Award, The Bit :) (In fact, I'll start another thread
just for that). Then, find somone with enough time and dedication to make it
work: Somone is going to have to step up (It's not a job for lazy people who
got it handed to them.) Build a team: people who are also willing to
contribute (and NO, you won't get anything back for it except the
gratification of a job well done once those curtains roll up,) and have the
skills and know-how to make it work. Come up with a plan how are we going to
pick the winners? Then advertise, advertise, advertise: Let the WHOLE
community know about it and when it is, and what it is about (Newsgroups,
In-World billboards, telegrams, welcome messages, newsletters, etc.) This
is how you start any community organization (minus the curtains and the
winners.) Bit did that with the Cys, now you must step up and make your own
legacy.

P.S. And who says there only has to be one awards program? (hmm.. Oscars,
Grammys, MTV Music Awards, CMA Awards, Nobel Prize, there are several awards
for books..... you name it.)

Tart my dear.

What does you immediatly getting to be a section leader for CY's have to do
with your input in this newsgroup, hmmm? :)

Just before E N Z O got around to changing the PPW, I nipped in to clean up
the odd thing (I'd filled a not insignificant amount of the world with signs
etc detailing information) and remove some technical info I had put up about
various things.

Irony? Not really.

When Lady TeaL agreed to take over the CYs from Bit, the first person LT
asked to join her was me. She and I have an excellant working relationship
already, based on mutual trust and respect.
Unfortunately, I had to decline because I did not have the time.

I have the time now, and Lady TeaL asked me again to reconcider.

A message from Lites who is having difficulty posting to the newsgroups.....

I penned a post in response to all those that have gone before. I then
decided it was in keeping with the energy of previous posts and that is not
what I wanted to accomplish, so deleted it.
Suffice it to say, there is room for more award ceremonies than just the Cy
awards. I am one of the 'older generation' that was actually encouraged by
Mark's approach to the awards. I found it extremely refreshing that there
was a different view on things, and a sincere attempt by Mark to enlist the
help of people, heretofore, who had not been involved before. There is so
much talent in AW, in the way of builders, programmers, modelers and other
contributors that just have not gotten the visibility they so deserve.
Fortunately, I am not any of the above, so can speak openly :)
Mark, and volunteers that have been working on this event: Please do not be
discouraged. I sincerely hope that you go forward with the momentum that you
have gained and design an award ceremony that is appropo
I sincerely hope that you go forward with the momentum that you have gained
and design an award ceremony that is appropriate for the new AW and all that
implies. There are many people out and about AW who supported you, yet have
not gotten involved in the foray of the newsgroups.
That is not to say that the Cys are not important and do not have their
place. Sustain the Cy with the people that you think are most appropriate
for the task. I do however, agree with previous posts, that there is room
for more than ONE award in AW. I also think it is so important that the
youth of this virtual reality, have their voice and lead the way to the
future.
So, from one "old" lady in AW, please go forward Mark and staff, with the
innovative ideas you had. I think it will be an immense contribution to the
AW Community and I look forward to seeing what you develop.

Sincerely,
Lites
