I have written the list of names. Looks to be thorough. We can review it. I propose the council meeting to occur next Saturday 1/18 at my place. We can watch football and discuss things. |

Why not? It has the advantage of never being tried. Now, will logic dictate and only players who played this year will be on the list, or can you nominate Jim Back and Deto? Also, if memory serves, what Ford was bitching about was OJ, who was at the council meeting, later unilaterally demanding changes in the ballot. New plan for a new ceremony. I'm on board. Alright then, let's get down to it boppers! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PV9e9SYYtwA |

You can write in any being in the universe. The list will be of the 2013 AWVP players who made an appearance. |

Whoops. The football games next weekend are all on Sunday. We could have the meeting of the minds on Sunday afternoon 1/19/14 |

IMHO, football and watervolleyball don't mix. Never have. People might have plans for the games. Also, far too distracting. What are we gonna do, talk during commercials? I'd say you were right the first time. Do it on Saturday. Let's get the day/time for council meeting nailed down ASAP. I'm amused that, since Pandas thought democracy (i.e., ballots, voting) were a disaster, the answer is even more democracy! We shall know soon enough. And now, deep thoughts in preparation for the Council: If this new freewheeling approach is a harbinger of things to come, heed my words: "Everyone chooses their own level of involvement" is indeed one of our credos, but if that turns into, "Everyone does whatever they want" then you are dangerously close to the Riata ethos, which you claim you hate. A league without structure is no league at all. I suppose I should be pleased that a generation of players has grown up thinking that keeping the AWVP fully staffed, trained, and combat ready at championship level with places to play is a process that naturally takes care of itself. Not so. There are plenty of my posts that say different, which were blissfully ignored. Chief is a poopy head, and I like cheese : ) If you don't do your homework, you can't have any cheese. How can you have any cheese if you don't do your homework!? As the SS Argosy was going down, I even tried to make sure that there would be a fallback position--not ideal, to be sure, but proven game. Clearly people don't like the Riata cheese, and I don't much blame them. The option offered something, vs. nothing. Because, as usual, most everyone else was else was having a good time obeying their basic instincts and doing what was easy, blowing up the sunshine... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUzd9KyIDrM So, with no other proven options on the horizon, one tries to provide the greatest good for the greatest number, even if it's "tasty wheat" (see Matrix). In terms of finding a new home for lost Pandas, paradropping into a venue and taking it over probably ain't going to work--see Marquis de Faggotry, Mirage, well intentioned attempts this season, and the long list of pools in the Dallas area the Ronins can tell you about. Short term slash and burn solutions may seem attractive to some people, but I don't see how it will work in terms of securing a new place to play or keeping Panda Corps filled with fresh converts in the long term. Thus, once we get done with the most important issue on the table: how to honor ourselves this year, I humbly recommend we get to issue #2: What else ya got!? |

IN. I have not been to the latest incarnation of the Creepy Mansion. Address at some point. I will send The Word via text but you may want to second. Also, I lack current Dub, LJ, Riata Ryan's #. |

While I'm thinking about these things... some "names" for the list. New players are all Riata or Jared Harem this year: Alex Tim Big Ben Riata Ryan The Flyin Hawaiian Tiffany Eric/Wings LJ's buddy Sander Rafa Little Riata TJ should also be on the list. He worked hard this year. In terms of voting at the actual ceremony. With no nominees, are you planning on having a certain period of "talk amongst yourselves about the season" before doing the do? If so, I expect a certain amount of lobbying will take place. These things are always pure chaos, so be ready to put a timer on it. With no nominees, talky time will probably need to be extended a bit. |

OK good. I'll add some of those names that I didn't have. I think it'll be good to label who is a rookie on the list of names, so people know. I'm not sure who is considered a rookie at Riata. At Deerfield, I suppose every Deerfield player is considered an AWVP rookie: Rob, Andrew, Michael, Brian |

All the names I put up in the last post minus lil TJ and Sander Rafa are rookies. Thinking it out a bit, probably best to have a rookie designation without naming the venue to avoid prejudice of any sort. I would consider all the Deerfield players to be rookies, but I suppose that the designation can be ironed out at the council meeting. There will no doubt be a great deal of confusion with a long list of names--"who is that?" We will have to make sure as a group of planners that we are available to explain. In the past voting has been allowed by sealed ballot (I'm thinking Big Shot Rob here). Will this continue? Should voting be allowed by email? I spoke with Jared. He should be available by phone for the council meeting, so we should make a serious effort to come up with a date. He says the concept of a party at his place has been approved by the landlord, since that's pretty much what they do all the time anyway(!) Have the texts carrying the Good News been sent far and wide? I've done my part. Time is now short. |

Since the downfall of the Argosy on June 5, 2012, the core AWVP players have become nomadic ronins wandering the obstacles of the world. Therefore, on the list of names I would like to indicate the venue for players who are not traveling ronins. I think it will avoid confusion to indicate Riata or Deerfield. |
