I agree to Macofs suggestion.


As to who can nominate, I propose that only religion section regulars nominate, at least the poster should have made up to 30 posts in the religion section. This is to prevent people registering new monikers just for nominations sake or getting their friends from other sections to nominate them.

Pastor Olu T: Thanks man, but what do u mean by 'overdo', I would sincerely want to know?

Wu Zetian: I'm too fabulous, I deserve to be awarded for being so 'fabulicious'.

marry me then. That's the best award you deserve

Alfa Seltzer: His vote wont change the outcome.It's a pity that he has limited participation on this.

that was exactly my point.

...And Pagan9ja didn't vote.

Nice script you got here. Just play it cool ok? Don't overdo it though...

Divepen: My vote:
A:1
B: Active members registered before 01/10/2013
C: Yes
D: 3

I vote exactly like this.

Alfa Seltzer: I am thinking, the 2 members with most nominations in each category will stand up for vote.

As for the bolded, we are a team here and as a team we adopted 5 awards. Even though some of us were against it, I think it is better if we work as a group once something has been adopted and not leave it for those that voted it as if we have factions here. Let's try and work together on this thing. Ok?

ok

But I dont have any new suggestions for 4 and 5.

Wu Zetian: Can I replace pagan??

No!

Alfa Seltzer: Nomination is not voting. If people are going to vote who they nominate, we might as well do away with voting. Sometimes more than 1 person deserve an award. You nominate them and let people chose who merits it more. Moreover it is not a must to nominate two people. You can nominate only person if you like but others should be able to nominate more than one if they choose.

I understand that nomination is not voting. But you dorealise that the nominations are gonna be plenty and then we will have to cut it down to say, 5 final nominees so a persons nominee might not make the final cut and then he/she will have to vote for the finalists. That way, we make sure the nominees are not too much blah blah blah...


As for the last 2 awards, the people who voted for 5 awards should come up with something...

@Alfa, I don't understand what you mean. Like a member can nominate 2 persons for each category? If yes, I don't think its wise.

This is because if its gonna be 1 man 1 vote for each category then there's no need to nominate 2 members when you're eventually going to vote for only 1. I suggest 1 man, 1 nomination for each category.

striktlymi: I took a look at the 'panel thread' and noticed that there seem to be a tie and one decisive vote is needed to tilt the scale...I guess that's the reason for the question.

Well it seems to me that you guys have two choices:

1) Go find pagan 9ja and get him to know how important it is to turn up at the meetings (not just turn up to vote). He needs to be there to debate a position when there is need for it.

Or

2) Propose a motion in the 'house' to have him replaced and if it is fine by every other member, you guys can pick one more person from the initial list of 12 nominees. I can help get whoever you choose.


The ball is squarely in your court.

what do you guys think about this suggestion?

^^^
Ok. I like this

Joshthefirst: okay sir. You can stop trolling me now.

er...feeling special?

Seems we are at an impasse now. What do we do? Any suggestions...?

ATMC: okies.

No offence.

I rather be proud than be joshthefirst. Gaddem!

@atmc, pls understand that our work here is to form a plan on how this years award is going to look like, not to decide who should win what. Let's not overstep our bounds pls.

Your argument is shallow but I don't want to waste time arguing it. Let's do our job and leave who wins what for the voters...

Musky baby I be learner where you de

I vote for 3 awards.

We should let the voters decide who gets to win the best religious SECTION poster. We are all in the religious section, you don't have to be religious to win an award where you frequent and post.

I'm in the health sector and I have this to say...

Y'all should start suing our arsses. Yes! When a patient dies, investigations should be carried out and all involved parties sued, the doctors, pharmacists, anaesthetists etc. Only when we get our head out of the clouds and realise that GOD!!! Has no hand in the death of ANY patient will we sit up and assert our rights.

When people start suing left right and center, we will sit up and then the govt will start listening to our demands

^^^

PLAY...END...REWIND...STOP...REPLAY...ad infinitum.

Funny people. Suddenly now its about the context. Ancient morality and all what bullshit. No be god supposedly give them the law? An all knowing perfect unchangeable god? The bullshit they expect us to swallow...


@OP, what does your common sense tell you? The bible is full of bullshit and if nobody can come up with any valid reason or evidence to show how sex is spiritual except by bible thumping then you know what to do...»»»»»»»»

texanomaly: Wow...

And a hardy hello to you too Mr Troll.

Hello!

Alfa Seltzer: Why don't we let others express their opinions first?

In listenening to you, I warmed up to your idea of 3 awards instead of two. Let's see if others have more reasons. There is no need to rush this at this time. We have up to 2 weeks.

ok then. We wait...

Bélla3: finally you confessed!! What took you so long
Very shocking, i always thought you were no 7. So you believe there is pissibility of a God??
INTERESTING!!!

what's with you guys and BELIEF? Must everyone be confined in your thinking box?

Heathen: This "sin", what is it?

Whatever Yahweh deems it to be. Like... Not eaten pork, not wearing clothes made of some specific materials, not accepting bullshit etc.


But slavery is ok though, likewise genocide etc as long as he ordered it.


But if you try to object based on rationality and common sense though...HELL!!!!!!!

We have not concluded on this...

Mr Troll: should we put it to a vote then?

The religious get to nominate for the best religious poster while the irreligious get to nominate for the best non religious poster, then everybody gets to vote.


I put the 1st vote in favour.

We have 3 votes in favour now...

I, Ishilove and Divepen. One more to go before the next agenda.

texanomaly: Hmmmm

Do the Atheists agree with this the bolded?

we don't give half a fuuCck!

I vote Divepen for coordinator.

We have 2 votes now in favour of my suggestion. We need 2 more within the next 24hrs to move it.

Where's @Pagan9ja?

wiegraf: Many reasons, of course. Peer pressure, groupthink, etc, makes people blind. At the extreme end, have you heard of Miligram's experiment?



So most people are fine with questionable scenarios so long as they are told it's alright by authority figures, and the bible/koran is the authority in their lives. A mad man killing his child because GOD!!?? is good because the bible says so. GOD??! making such an 'evil' request is good because the bible says so. Actually, it isn't eveil, and anyone who thinks otherwise is bad and will roast in hell for eternity because the bible says so, etc.

To be fair, many don't even stop to contemplate the nature of the story. Many are simply so foo.lish, they don't actually see the problem. Indoctrination's effects, etc etc. Anyways, humans, most of us, are monsters (simply look at how we treat other animals for instance)

and then they brazenly tell you that you do not know what good is if you don't believe iin their sky monster...that all morality comes from him. Such nonsense arrogance
