MarioWiki:Anniversary/2007

Saturday, August 11th, 7-11PM EDT Chat Party 10AM Awards Countdown 1 Why? What?   2 Award Presentations   3 Voting   4 Outline   5 Schedule   6 Awards Committee List Why? What? The Super Mario Wiki was created on August 12th, 2005. On August 12th, 2006, this wiki was off to a good start, but still beginning and with a small community of active users. Now we are a big community and very vibrant, and coming up on the 2nd anniversary of the wiki's creation, it's time to celebrate...the wiki. And what better way to do that than with a... Mario Awards Show!! Award Presentations During the Awards Show next month, the ceremony will reveal 30 award results based on 60+ voters' opinions. However, to spice up the show, instead of making it plain, users have signed up to present the awards. These presentations might go something like this, or could be entirely different: Coming on the stage to announce the results, possibly having other members commenting/insulting the presenter while giving out the nominees, even interrupting him/her, making back-and-forth dialogue Having a Mario character come out to present the award (i.e. let Marioverse characters interact with the wiki users, the wiki issues). Having a comic to present the results, user or Marioverse, possibly incorporating the ideas above. There will be 5-10 minute breaks inbetween each presentation. The idea is that users can comment on the previous presentation as well as continue script ideas from past presentations or even have separate scripts off-stage (such as a conspiracy behind-the-scenes, almost succeeding but failing at the end). Slots are below. <showhide>__HIDER__<show> ANY USER HERE HAS AGREED TO THE FOLLOWING: THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY ATRUSTED TO NOT RELEASE ANY RESULTS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, EVEN UNDER PEER PRESSURE, UNTIL IT IS TIME TO PRESENT. VIOLATION OF THIS TRUST WILL LEAD TO STRIPPING OF PRESENTATIONS FOR THIS AND FUTURE AWARD SHOWS, AS WELL AS A BAN FROM FORUM AND CHAT FOR THE ENTIRE DAY OF AUGUST 11. A1.

We are less than a month away. Besides Award Presentations, there are also user awards – our most active users will be mentioned for something (a quality) they contribute here (i.e. best writer, most technical, craziest, etc). 40+ users will be recognized. That all goes down on August 11th from 7-11pm EDT. Chat party starts at 10am on the same day. In a post-party we will run into the actual day of the wiki's creation, August 12th, at midnight. Make sure you can stay up that night – you won't want to miss the big countdown. Schedule The following is a table that outlines exact dates on which events related to pre-show processes will hopefully occur. Included is a small description of the event and whether the awards committee (AC), the general body of wiki users (WU), forum users (FU) and/or guests (G) can be involved (note that the awards committee must also be forum users, but this is not noted). This also assumes that both user awards and award presentations are included.
