All right, so I was thinking that we take a concept that was born out of Wuzaa's and my disagreement on which one of two singers is hotter. The topic: http://s10.zetaboards.com/TheWhiteCounsil/topic/536031/1/ It had a spiritual successor in the form of the following Ninjas vs. Pirates showdown: http://s10.zetaboards.com/TheWhiteCounsil/topic/7084353/1/ The concept is no more than a poll with two options, where the TWC members vote for one of the two "competitors" and the one who has received most votes wins the Showdown! It's just for a bit of fun and might get some discussions going as the different "camps" argue for their chosen champion. The categories can be of any kind. Could be two paintings, two movies, two songs, two bands, two football clubs, two actors, two models, two car brands, two video games - anything that makes sense of being a showdown. I am thinking that we can make it on a weekly or fortnightly basis - depending on how fast people vote. As for who is to make the Showdown polls/topics and thus choose the two competitors I am thinking that if we make it on a regular basis it can be the one who is quickest off the bat and is the first one to make the topic on the given day (if we say that it is a weekly event and the new showdown is declared every tuesday - that day would be tuesday). To ensure variety, however, last week's showdown creator cannot create this week's showdown - if that makes sense. I am, however, thinking of making a separate topic, where people can come up with ideas for showdowns and the "creators" can pick from those, possibly picking some that the community seems to be interested about. You guys up for this idea? |

Sounds like a good idea. As long as there is some discussion about the two options its worthwhile. Given inactivity at the moment due to people being away and so on, perhaps they should be fortnightly to begin with and then make them weekly once activity increases. That way the first ones will get enough votes to properly declare a winner and by the time everyone is back and posting they can be sped up. |

Yeah, sounds very cool ![]() The sexy singers showdown was pretty awesome, even though my ''entry'' lost but still, it did create some conversation. Good idea, Sunboy

Yeah - that's what I was thinking too. I actually feared that initiating this now might be a bad idea, as it might die quickly with the vacation hampering activity, but your suggestion is a good solution. Are you guys ok with the procedure of creating the Showdowns? I am not sure if I was clear enough. |

Yeah, whoever is quick off the mark creates the new one on the correct day and the person who created the last one cannot make the most recent one. Sounds fair to me, that way we'll get some variety in the topics of the showdown. |

*respectfully bows* Your skills at formulating my thoughts are admirable, Gorfang ![]() Very well then. I will make a topic in which suggestions for Showdowns can be made. The first Showdown will be posted by me. I will wait for some suggestions first though, even though I have ideas on my own. The link: http://s10.zetaboards.com/TheWhiteCounsil/topic/7159767/1/ |

Good thinking on your part, Stan, and well-devised, Gorfang. I say we should go for it. |

How about we get this going again? It could be a way to jump start this forum again.

The name is Gorfang. Although I do agree with Wuzaa. There are about five of us here on a roughly daily basis, including HMA. Everyone else is inactive for different reasons, I don't see much point in starting the showdowns again if at most we'll only get five votes. |

Still, it might encourage others who log in form time to time to start posting more often and five votes could still lead to some good discussions.

I come on everyday. I just don't go in the "Other topics" section, nor posts like the association thread. It does seem like a good idea to me, even with a few people. However, I guess i generally disagree with people on this kinda stuff
