I'm tired of doing IotD - Page 3

LabRat · 09-20-2007, 03:52 PM

How about having all people interested put their names in, say there is 25. Then beginning on Oct 1st, have the first person put up and image. On the 2nd, the 2nd, until the 26th, when person 1 puts one up again. When one person wants out, or can't post on their day, they post so in a different thread, and someone else takes their place. I would like to participate, but once a week, even for only a few weeks is a little much. closer to once a month would be perfect.

If you have more than one image, you could give it to someone who needs it. a separate thread could be used for that type of stuff, discussing IotD business.

Point: IotD is the lifeblood of The Cellar.

The Cellar community could collectively submit the images, and collectively vote on the images. That way, there's no searching and deciding for any person or persons to worry about. The moderator duties would be to facilitate the process, and post the IotD based on the outcome.

In this case, sycamore, I think you meant the latter.

alright then, here's how it's going to be.

we will all flood LJ's mailbox with likely pics. he will sort through them and pick the one he wants for any given day. Jinx will slap him and say "not another picture of your cock, dumbass! send that picture there." at which point he will remember his good fortune at having Jinx to keep him in line. Seeing as how he would like to enjoy her assets at some point in the future he will dutifully obey. LJ's job ends with pressing the "send" button.

Next Elspode will open his mailbox to find an image that needs text. He will delete the superfluous image of LJ's cockpuppet, and go to work creating engaging text to put with the real image(seeing as how he's the most eloquent MFer here). Elspode will save his text with the image and press the "send" button.

The appropriate moderator will open their mailbox to find this wonderful collaboration and they will post it, thus creating the next IOTD.

We will all clap, say good job, comment on the image, and go about our day. Once per week a lurker will register because they want to say something relevant to the IOTD. From time to time this former lurker will become a valuable part of the cellar.

TW will pop in at least twice daily to say, "george jr, mental midget, mba's..." before wandering off in search of his meds.

UT will go on about life relieved at the burden lifted from his shoulders. He will soon realize that he has compiled a large list of possible future IOTD's with relevant text. A few months later, UT will step back into his previous role because... well, he's UT. Some things just belong together like PB&J, or IOTD & UT.

OK, now - ready...BREAK!

I would do it in a heartbeat man, but I just can't get on the fucking PC every day.
*pissed*

Spexxvet · 09-20-2007, 04:46 PM

How about just sticking a pic up - don't bother with text - we can provide our own.

lookout123 · 09-20-2007, 04:52 PM

well the obvious problem, of course. who is going to decide when we have "enough" text?

lumberjim · 09-20-2007, 05:02 PM

enough is enough

09-20-2007, 05:15 PM

Aaahhhhhh!

Shawnee123 · 09-20-2007, 05:22 PM

At least none of the solutions sound really complicated.

I wish I had an answer, or the time and set-up to do it.

Has anyone mentioned tag teaming? I think it would be difficult to remember whose day it is, but if someone did it for a month, then tagged another (willing) dwellar, someone would have to be on the ball for a month, but there would be an end in sight.

Eh, I got nothin'

DucksNuts · 09-20-2007, 05:53 PM

If you trust my aussieness, I'd do it

With some one on one teaching from the Toad of course.

Clodfobble · 09-20-2007, 06:10 PM

I could be in for once a week. I call dibs on Tuesday. Can't promise it would be up to the quality that UT's maintained, but I could find something at least moderately interesting once a week.

Five more people? C'mon, you could do a few weeks, and then guilt someone into taking your day, when you're ready to move on, eh?

Alternatively, I'd be willing to take over all of the tedious posting bit, if UT would show me how, as long as you fuckers submitted things on a regular basis.

HungLikeJesus · 09-20-2007, 06:22 PM

Why don't we just take the 365 most active posters and give them all one day per year?

The problem is not good pictures, it's the source, and the back story.... and copyrights/permissions.
It takes a lot of time to put all that together... daily.
If more people submitted the package, picture and source/back story, it would be much easier on UT.
