    Evening Nocs.
    Yes, you've guessed it, yet ANOTHER activity rolling out here (well, if its popular)

    As you may have seen on other forums (Fitness, Tats&piercings etc) there is a type of thread titled "In the well".
    Basically, a regular is asked questions on a thread, about various subjects.

    Now, since we are a loose social forum, with many different roles and purposes, it wont be question on specific subjects.

    But we wont be having it at random. first of we are going to vote for people we want to ask stuff. then, with their permission, a thread will be opened for a short period of time, and questions can be asked there.

    It can be Nocturnal (Whats your fave Noc activity, fave thread, fave sig etc) or not (what is your favourite food, how much net stuff do you do etc etc)

    so, this will be the prototype thread, anything unclear or confusing can be asked, and people you want to nominate for being asked stuff can be nominated here.

    ok, Nocs, BEGIN!

    It's like the question thread. But we nominate one person to answer everybody's questions. They have a go for a while then it's someone else's turn...

    I think.

    From passed experience it's better for the mods to just decide rather than leave it to the general population to decide. Since there's so many people and can't please everyone.

    Take the people who've thrown their hat in the ring then decide amongst yourselves

    I've seen something done similarly on a different forum and it was treated as a "first come, first serve" system. The posters didn't seem to mind and I guess you can't get more equitable than that system.

    ok, new plan- we (mods) will pick random folk.
    to start, i will use the list already nominated.

    anyone else that is cool with being nominated can say so in this thread,

    since 6th was the first nominated (lol) before we set ground rules, he'll be first up.

    then in order (and depending on whether they accept)

    Nerin
    LZ
    Monkeyfudge
    Grames
    Kerash
    Koth
    Lolly22
    Futurecrook
    Thaed



    after this, the mods shall pick at random.

    ok 6th, come with me to your thread. you have three days to answer as many questions as possible/are comfortable with :)

    I want to nominate God. I have questions for him. I know he's not officially a member but he lurks.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    people that are rude and abusive, as well as posting any After Hours/Thunderdome style crap, will be severely punished.

    they will receive a red card infraction for every charter breach in their post, and a possible perma ban from the Noc at mods discretion.

    Im having zero tolerance of non regulars coming in and having a go at people here.

    All beginning to sound a bit megalomaniac now... Anyone saying "I'm in" should automatically be disqualified.
