This week was a Captains' Choice. All the captains agreed on this one.

This week goes to Thistle-Chan, the inspiration for the thread. She came in here, completely new, and just dove into the conversation, having fun, but contributing.

She's a damn good newbie.

Congrats kid, and stick around

More info about me

Wow. Well I'm honered, so thank you very much. I'm extremely new to this guild and so this is really unexpected but verily appreciated.

I love kitties for they are soft and cuddly. I love the color pink and I use it in all of my artwork and choose to surround myself with as much of it as I can since it makes me happy. XD

I know a little bit of Spanish even though I'm white through and through. Really, I'm mostly German but I've got some English and Scot-Irish roots too. My family has been in America since colonial times so I'm as close to All-American as you can get by birth, but I'm about as far away from the concept as I can possibly be by choice. XD

I'm fascinated by trying new things, particularly food... I like to cook, but a lot of times I'm too busy doing other things to eat. I love people, and the computer.

I'm a fan of My Little Ponies, Mark Twain, Jack Handy, The Matrix, anime, Photoshop, emoticons, Shaman King, cosplay, Memoirs of a Geisha, gothic lolita, communication, uh and a lot of other stuff. :]

Here is a banner I made once for a rating thread in the AT. XD;

More information about me can be found... here! (second post ^^)

Sounds like a good way to recognize established members and to encourage newer members who seem to be serious about being part of the guild. 3nodding

No objections here. Mebbly there could also be a small prize, or convince one of the artists in the guild to do a freebie 5-minute scribble or whatnot? whee

That's another good idea. And I agree with Rayi, it'd be nifty if there was a little prize. Just 'cause...it would. *shrug*

But yes, good idea for having people get to know each other.

Well, a cash prize would seem to make it more contest-y

But a little scribble art would be nice if someone wanted to do it. Once a week do a little avatar art.

Okay, so here's how it'll work then.

If an artist wants to volunteer their services, announce so.

If you want to do it regularly and want payment, PM me.

Sound good? 3nodding

And I think I have this week's first person in mind.

I figured art'd make a good sort of recognition, which is why I mentioned it. People'd be less likely to spam in the hopes of "winning."

Perhaps we could also nominate folks via PM.

Nominate yourself, nominate others, sure!

It's not gonna be on any set criteria, or at this point even voting. It's just gonna be we pick one. If we've got no good reason, we pick one that just seems nice.

But sure, nominate away for this week, next week, whatever.

I think it's a great idea. It might encourage the newer members to participate and get to know each other better. I know I was a bit intimidated when I first joined so I can just imagine what it must be like for them, especially with all the recent changes and increased posting.

I'd be willing to make doodles if I can get my sister's scanner to start working again. I must warn you though, I'm out of practice and not that good. :B

Sounds good. But maybe we should try to think of a different name. Like "Member Spotlight" or something? "Member of the Week" DOES make it sound like a contest... like those silly "Employess of the Month" plaques at McDonald's.

Posted: Mon May 08, 2006 5:33 pm

That sounds too much like avatar spotlight. xp

What about "Featured Member"?

Yeah, I thought of that. Just didn't really like the ring of it. Not sure why. Maybe because "spotlight" sounds all flashy and shiny and special, whereas "featured" sounds like come-buy-your-tickets-and-popcorn.

Posted: Mon May 08, 2006 5:39 pm

Oooh, ooh, I'd be willing to do some scribbles that vaguely resemble avatars for folks. :B

For the name, what about... Crown Member? I'unno.

Crown Member makes it sound even more contest-y.

Maybe "Member Under the Microscope"? Iunno... sounds cheesy. But it fits the purpose better.
