M.E.A.T.I.E.S. 2007
 

Hi guys,

It's getting near to that sort of time again, so I thought I'd give you a bit of a heads up...

We're not taking nominations just yet, as there's some bloke doing some singing that a few people are apparently interested in seeing or something (:!:) so I'll let you know who to send your PMs to and when...

In the meantime, have a think about the following categories, and who you might like to nominate...

Any other suggestions for CATEGORIES will be gratefully received...

Thank you for your kind attention.

how about some categories based on the 3 days in london?
like "best pint payer" or "loudest at the concert" :??:

:p

best dressed person at a ml concert


best arse licker

how about a worest catogry section eg worst signiture ect

best thread starter

best youtube-vidoes poster

You mean The Brit Awards?! :p

most negative/argumentative

That's prompted so many new categories in my head but I'm not sure they'll be allowed :lol:

"looks at the line under his name* :bleh:

How about...

The Best Stalker

The least making sense poster

The Poster Who Never Makes any sense

The poster who might make some sense but ONLY under the pressure

The best lead poster

The best lead postess

The best supporting poster

The best supporting postess

And a list goes on and on...

And we should really televize this malarkey...

Best poster at 6.30am after a litre of whisky?

:silence: ;)

Not bad at all...and if we have to specify whisky...you already won...otherwise...you have some competition here...

Poster who believes there's never been a bad release by this artist:

Best Welsh Poster!!! :P Hehe :P

no contest :p

I'd suggest "best German", but I dont think I'd really have a chance, if another German guy runs this forum :bleh:

I'd vote for you...for the right amount of euro:-)

the right amount of euro being the price of a pint of beer

Was waiting for you to turn up :P

He usually does lol

Out from the shadows :P

Biggest perv?

would be between you and jonty then :p

Nope YOU and Jonty

Okay ladies and gentlemen, now that the shine has worn off the tour for a bit, it's time to get this year's MEATIES underway.

Just to make the rules absolutely clear, since there was a bit of confusion last year, at the moment, we're just taking NOMINATIONS. You can nominate yourself. Nominations will be taken until midnight, UK time, on Wednesday 4th July.

After that, another post will be put up, with the categories given again, and the nominations in each of those categories. This is the bit where you vote, but you CANNOT vote for yourself.

Nominations (and votes, when it's time) should be made by PM to either myself, (Hypnobabe) or mszee. And just to let you know, in case anyone was thinking of trying to swing the votes, we will be comparing notes about who's already voted.... lol....

So get nominating!!

how about any tour related categories, just for fun?

Let me consult with Zina on that one, I'll get back to you...

I like these two categories and would love it if it was decided to add them to the list

Could one of the mods please sticky this just for a duration of the contest?

Thanks!

Guys...we have to finalize categories but you can start sending nominations for existing categories ASAP...as Claire has mentioned above...nominations as well as votes are coming to her and me...doesn't matter who...whoever you feel more comfortable with is fine...

Thread stuck as requested. This isn't a thinly veiled attempt to win best mod, oh no, no way, not at all :lmao:

you're right, not thinly veiled..................................transparant springs to mind!!!

You got it :))

My god, he's going for the most honest mod award as well lol

Blatant was the word that sprang to my mind.... :lmao:

lol, well the trophy cabinet is rather bare at the moment :))

Cool, one of the vote counters is already on to him lol

And I just now noticed that we have the best mod category...alright...we either nominate and vote for all of them...or remove the category...with new infraction system and all...I am scared...

Andy, thanks for the sticky!!!

After much discussion, the official awards committee (me and Zina) have decided on the following amendments:

And, of course, there is another new category...best M.E.A.T.I.E.S. 2007 organizer...bwahhahahahahahahaha...

No, I am just kidding...I already won that one anyway...

In any event...please send your nominations...and please don't forget to send nominations in all or as close to all as possible categories...last year I was receiving nominations for only one person in only one category...that's just not good enough...

Also...you're welcome to nominate more than one person in same category...vote will decide the winner...

Completely forgot...you're welcome to nominate me and Claire in whatever...just nominate us to the other one...i.e. Claire to me and me to Claire...

I don't mind winning something...even if it's a nothing...

Darling.... *puts on puppy dog eyes* don't you love me any more then?

Who can deal with you women??? :bicker:

First you tell me...if there is such a category...then I am a winner...then you say...well, if you're a winner...what am I??? :roll:

You're my darling poopsie...here...that should be enough...

may I ask how many people shall be nominated for each category?

How ever many get nominated

I don't think we ever limited nominations...first we gather nominations, then we counts the votes for each...

Correct hunny, you can nominate as many people as you like, but you can only VOTE for one person in each category.

that actually makes it VERY hard to decide :))
*puts on his best, kindest, lovliest, most charming, sunday face*

Well, get off your best kindest loveliest most charming butt and nominate already...

How long to you have to be here to no longer be counted as a newbie?

Ugh...tough question...I would say...a year? I was nominated last time...i was here about 3 or 4 months when I was nominated...so let's say 6 months to a year...use your best judgement...oh wait...do you have one??? :lol:

What do you think?

What do you think?

I say...6 months to a year...Claire? Andy?

Announcing deadline for nominations:

June 30, 2007

Claire, please correct me if I am wrong...

I think previously a noob is considered not to be a noob anymore after their first year... so anyone who's been here less than twelve months is eligible in this category

how about person must have been registrating AFTER the last meaties?

Claire, what about deadline for nominations? Am I correct?

It's just about 6 of one and half a dozen of another...go help Carl with his nominations...:lol:

whats a noob?

Deadline sounds good to me...

Seriously? Its short for newbie!! Short for new person!!

:twisted: I shamelessly nominate myself for best user name.

I've won it every year so far, and intend to keep my title :mrgreen:

Ah yes but this year you're getting points deducted for Durr Gruff......

Gosh darn it...I knew we forgot something...

We should have had a category for our favorite Monstro's leather garment...argh...

That doesn't quite sound right lol

As long as your other leather garments aren't in my wardrobe!!!

I've just figured out why Sam Cat's changed her Avatar!! :lmao:

The problem is pink clashes with all the backgrounds!!!

Doesn't clash with my grey background...... but it is a very very bright Pink Panther!

Well...ummm...

I've gone onto the black and gold one now but Garfield blended better!!!

It's "best avatar" award, not "most co-ordinated avatar" award :lmao:

Damn i must have missed that!! Best avatar has to go to Marvin tho!!!

nice panther emma

Thank you!!

Whayhey that a nomination? :lmao:

Nominations have to be PMed IN CONFIDENCE to whoever is in charge...who is in charge?

Oh wait...it's me and Claire...

Who put me in charge of anything????

Whatever i wasnt sure about I nominated myself for, sorry folks

Ummm...those supposed to be secret? And nothing wrong with nominating yourself as long as it's in PM...

Yes one for Marvin for his avatar and another one for his talk to the paw photo!!

Wait...are you nominating Michael or Marvin???

Marvin!!

What avatar Marvin has??? And what picture from the tour???

I can't tell who it is, they seem to have buried their head in the sand.......

Alright...I guess then I have to delete from my list all the nominations you've gotten so far...let me make a note of this and I shall do so as soon as I get home...:twisted:

purrr

How's about the most sarcastic?

Would have been a good category but nominations started to come in already (how about sending yours in???)...so we have to do a cut off on categories...maybe next year...in any event...guess who would have been nominated in this one...

Will be finishing my nominations tonight. Can anyone confirm if there will be two catagories in the best photo bit?

Decided on one I think - just a favorite photo - you can nominate as many as you want to...it's only one that will win...and that I guess would be the best - whether it's fans or Meat...

And thanks in advance for the nominations there will be nothing or nobody to vote for if there is no nominations!

General thingie for photo nominations...unless you're nominating a very "famous" photo that called for much discussion, etc...please provide the link for your nominated picture - there will be hell looking for the picture of the "Meat on stage"...:lmao:

We'll have to agree to disagree then, I think there should be two photo catagories, I've got two for each catagory I'd like to nominate but as it's a Meat site is there any point in putting forward a non Meat photo?

I am not really disagreeing to be honest with you...it's just that this was a new category and I guess maybe we didn't think it through...


Since Claire isn't online...I'll make an executive decision...please forgive me, Claire but I am sure you wouldn't mind...

There are two photo categories now...one for fans pictures and one for actual artists of the tour pictures...let me put together new list of categories in the next post

ATTENTION: PLEASE NOTE - ONE OF THE CATEGORIES IS NOW SPLIT AND WE HAVE NOW TWO PHOTO CATEGORIES: ONE FOR FANS PICTURES AND ONE FOR CONCERTS/ARTISTS PICTURES.

PLEASE PROVIDE LINKS TO YOUR NOMINATED PICTURE WHEN NOMINATING.

Best Username

Best Avatar

Best Behaved Newbie

Best sig

Best postwhore

Most random poster

Lifetime Board Achievement Award

Best Lurker

Most charming

Most bitter and/or negative

Most flirtatious poster

Best blog

Best moderator

Special achievement - this category is to nominate someone you feel deserves a special mention for something wonderful they've done for you personally or for the forum this year

Favourite tour photo - fan pictures only

Favourite tour photo - concert/artist pictures only

So what about pictures of fans with the artists ... ;)

Lucy...could you please enjoy good weather if you're having any and sit in the sun instead of posting here...:lmao:

I just solved a HORRIFIC work emergency...my day is shot already...

Alright...fans with artist...specify which category you want to nominate this type of a pic or just nominate it in both categories and let the best pic (wait, it's the same pic...it's I who am bipolar right now) win!

I would say two categories....

1 - fans. That's fans on their own, with other fans, or with Meat and the band.

2 - Meat and the band, including Marion, on stage pics only

...but then it's nothing to do with me!

Proposal accepted...thank you very much for suggestion...

If this day ever ends...I will be the happiest person alive...this has been one hell of an AWFUL week and I hope it just ends already...

Claire, my apologies for making decisions without you but I just saw all these suggestions as very sound...so...please forgive me, dearest, and love me like you've never loved me before...:heart:

Ok i already voted for one photo so do i vote again and i'm not very good at links :oops: sorry!!
