Walrus Sign-UPs

Rikand · 2019-07-04 20:49:41

If you have an interest in running a Walrus of your own, then please post your name here :D Walrus's generally work best when there is only 1 or 2 running concurrently, so if you do want to run one, when you post your name, maybe also include the date that you would like to run one. There's lots of different ways you can…

Yeah, I don't see any issue with 2 running at the same time.

Well sign ups have closed for the latest one so maybe Homer could open sign ups for his one now.

I can do that. Was looking at New Year for the Reveal so makes sense to open up signups now I guess. I thought of some categories but need to check all the previous ones to make sure I'm not repeating any, when that's done I'll try and get signups started this evening.

Not sure how to anonymise the suggestions though; I had a bold idea for a Werewolf crossover, where all participants submit their suggestions via one of the Werewolf Anon accounts and I don't find out who's who until the Reveal is over......but I figure that's far too much of a logistical nightmare. Maybe people could submit via Google docs and make up their own pseudonym, and we can find out who's who after the Reveal? Any other suggestions welcome!

I’d agree with that too. For a large one it’s hard enough to get through one reveal a week. So if there were two going simultaneously it would be no harm. Mr K and Barney opened their nominations two months ago this week

For mine, sKeith acted as intermediary and collected all the entries, then anonymised them before sending to me. It worked great.

I'm happy to do that for you if you want! #payitforward :pac:

We were waiting for the previous one to finish, which it did around a week ago. We should be starting our reveal in the next week or so and hopefully have it done by Christmas.

Tbf to Barney and Mr K, the previous Walrus was running for about 16 years so I wouldn't really blame them either

Wasn’t meant as a dig!

Tusks took an eternity which is why I’m suggesting we mix it up

I'd like to throw my hat in the ring to host a Walrus at some point. Would someone be so kind as to add my name to the list - it's been so long since I've made a table around these parts, that I've forgotten how to do it.

My Walrus sign-ups open. Only four categories and a prize on offer-so you have no excuse not to enter!

Sadly gonna have to pull my name out of the running of one of these things for the time being as I just began work on a new writing project and can't commit to run a Walrus while I'm focused on that. Will still be around to take part in Walrus' and Competitions, but just can't see myself finding the time to host one.

I've removed my name from the table and given it a bit of an update while I was at it, because I'm helpful like that...

Given the current lockdown can we get some of these moving or get a few more in the hopper so things can get going again
