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.

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!!

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...

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 - this category is a tour related category that allows everyone to join in the fun, not just those of us lucky enough to have seen Meat this year! Choose your favourite concert pic or your favourite pic of the forum members, and maybe we'll have an award for one from each category, if we get enough - by the way, the award will be given to whoever TOOK the photo, not the people in it!!

mszee
20 Jun 2007, 16:49
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...

mszee
20 Jun 2007, 16:51
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...

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!

mszee
22 Jun 2007, 17:20
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:

22 Jun 2007, 18:16
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

mszee
22 Jun 2007, 18:26
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.

I would say two categories....

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

Alright...the time is coming...June 30 is almost upon us.

This is how it goes...

One thinks...well, this is just a joke and I am a serious Meat's fan...and, of course, it is not a very serious thing - these Meaties...BUT...this is part of this forum...this is the once a year time when you get a chance to name your favorites be it as just a user name or a deed of a good friend...

There is also a category of people who would think...well...he/she is so popular...they are bound to be nominated by somebody else...so why would I bother? Well...the thing is...if you don't "bother"...you favorite or your friend just may not be nominated at all...and for as much as this contest is in a pure spirit of fun...it is your chance to mark what you consider special about this forum.

You have just a couple of days left...whoever didn't...please send us your nominations...

Thank you!

As you can see by the amount of the nominations...we had the most incredible year for M.E.A.T.I.E.S this year!!!

(I hope it has something to do with them being run by two all around incredible ladies...hahahahahahahaha)


Thank you very much to all who cared enough to send us your nominations!!! Your generosity of spirit is much appreciated!!!

Special thanks to AndyK for stickying this thread and to R. who was most helpful and prompt in his advice and incredibly generous with his website.

Special special thanks to my partner - lovely and unparallel Claire Da Hypnobabe...:heart:

mszee
01 Jul 2007, 06:56
To those who nominated themselves: it was incredible to see that you were either already nominated by others in the same categories or were nominated later by others...have faith in your friends!

We have a special achievement award - this needs to be elaborated on:

djfierce, Samcat and Monstro were nominated for their incredible generosity in housing poor Loafers, organizing activities for out of towners and being all around incredible London based hosts.

I think I will speak for everybody when I say we really can't separate these three in this category. So if you would like to vote for all three...please do so...they clearly deserved an exception to the rule of one winner...if one of them wins...all are the winners...and we won't mind to announce as winners all three!!!

Ageing Bat
AndyK
Hypnobabe
mszee
vrg

were nominated for lending a shoulder to lean on and being all around incredible friends to some of the forum members in the time of need...in short...all 5 people above were named most incredible friends...

Deb was nominated for helping many many people in getting tickets, in accomodations and being all around a great helpful person at the time of the tour and concerts...without her many people wouldn't have been able to even see Meat Loaf live this time around...as well as in previous times...

The rest of the nominees were nominated for the most part for their friendship and outstanding achievements on this forum...

About pictures...I would really suggest to drop this category in the future...it took a lot of time and some misunderstandings and it just...I don't know...needs re-visiting...

mszee
01 Jul 2007, 07:01
And now for the most important part...VOTING!!!

Nominations are in and as you can see...this year competition is extremely stiff...so if you don't vote for your favorites...good chance is that they may not win...

Please remember: there is only one vote per category!!!

The easiest way to vote probably would be to copy the entire post into PM and just delete nominees you're not voting for...please vote for pictures with links as they are listed above...

Deadline for votes: Midnight of JULY 15, 2007

Please take a moment and vote...even if you didn't nominate anybody...even if you will vote for somebody you didn't nominate by omission...please vote...

EVERY VOTE COUNTS!!!

GOD BLESS AND THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE!!!

mszee
01 Jul 2007, 07:58
And after all this work...I STILL managed to screw up...very sorry about this...

The very first link for the Meat Fan best picture is a post with multiple pictures - the picture nominated is the very first one with Andy and funky eyes...sorry!!!

Also...forgot to mention that we couldn't use some of the nominated pictures because they were actually residing somewhere outside of this forum on people's private sites...that just felt wrong to copy pictures from their private sites and re-post them...sorry again...

RadioMaster

Thank you Zina, my beloved, for organising that post so wonderfully, I know it took a lot of hard work (and some undeserved stick) to enable the forum to vote for their favourites...

.... so make it worthwhile, and get voting!

You can send your votes to either mszee or Hypnobabe, but please remember, with the exception of Samcat, djfierce and Monstro in the Special Achievement category, you only get one vote for each category. As Zina has already said, voting closes at MIDNIGHT UK TIME on July 15th, so you only have two weeks to get your votes in!

And as to the new category of worst moderator...discussion about new categories goes way back...once again...nobody seem to have suggested it...and we haven't quite considered it...this is done for fun...and although we do have most bitter whatever category...it's just to send these people a message...and it's ony one negative category there is...

BUT...should you have suggested worst moderator category in a timely manner...there is no telling...it might have been implemented...

10 Jul 2007, 16:37
On a serious note (I know, happens to me once in a while too):
From my experience with competitions like that I can say that "worst..." categories, dont make anyone happy, neither the people who 'won', nor the people who didnt.
We had some serious trouble in school a few years back with a person voted 'worst teacher ever'.

Well if you'd like to PM me and tell me which ones you're querying, I'll be perfectly happy to forward you the PM with their nomination, assuming I was the one to receive it, and I'm certain Zina will do the same.

Besides, your original post was asking why someone WASN't nominated, and the answer to that question is BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T NOMINATE THEM.

I beg your pardon????

I hope it means that some people nominated themselves...which is true and is acceptable by the rules.


Send them a message :wtf: The message has been sent and recieved and the answer is 'Go F*ck Yourself' I aint changing for no one.

Pud :twisted:

Well, I'd rather do that than deal with you on any level...this is not the post of intelligent reasonable person...this is just sour grapes...

OK, this is supposed to be a bit of lighthearted fun, nothing more than that. Let's not drag it into a witchhunt or slanging match please!

Claims, no matter how veiled of any type of vote or nomination rigging are way out of order and are completelyoff the mark. This is hardly the Oscars or a Presidential Election is it?

If someone hasn't been nominated, they haven't been nominated, simple as that. It doesn't mean that their contribution to this board or to the Meat community as a whole isn't appreciated and valued.

A few notes on the subject:

1. This is supposed to be funny and light hearted competition...there is nothing serious and/or truly meaningful about it.

2. Nominations mean nothing if people don't vote for nominees. So if the person doesn't deserve something they are not going to get it one way or the other.

3. There was plenty of time allowed for both nominations and voting. Thread was requested and has been stickyed by mods. So it was very visible. The only way you couldn't see it was that either you weren't online for whatever reason or you just didn't care.

4. In order to avoid the conflict of interest, I've sent my nominations to Claire and she has sent hers to me. We did NOT nominate ourselves in any of the categories.

5. Even the President of the United States is allowed to vote for himself. However, this was NOT the case here. Once again, to avoid the conflict of interest me and Claire exchanged our votes and did NOT vote for ourselves in any and all categories we were nominated.

Thank you.

I think some might need convincing of that...

I think Pud's point was that perhaps some of the nominated names weren't people that immediately spring to mind in the categories they're notminated in...

I think you're right about some of the names being a surprise as nominations...BUT...we just collected the nominations and listed them...we didn't question them or analyze them...that wasn't required...

However, votes should prove who is nominated rightfully...it's votes that count in my opinion.

Please vote for the people you think are truly eligible to win...

Every vote counts...

I wouldn't say that...we are receiving quite a few votes from people who didn't send their nominations for one reason or the other...

And it's true that every little bit helps...as the votes come in...it is becoming obvious that some raised eyebrows nominations are fast becoming a thing of the past...like I said...nominations are nothing...and we had a HUGE amount of those...it's really votes that count....

For those with short term memory loss, I'm re-posting this...

...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.


Anyone who has sent votes where they've voted for themselves, would you please re-send votes in those categories for SOMEONE ELSE!

If we haven't received these by midnight UK time tomorrow, (Sunday 15th July) we will assume you do not wish to vote in that category.

My wonderful friends from this forum!!!

Ran to get here by midnight your time but got stuck in terrific traffic!!!

Not just missed the deadline but also missed my co-worker - Da Fair Claire...

Well, the polls are closed...

Please give us just a little bit of time to get together...not just that we live in different countries on different continents with a small pond between us (you may truly call these year's M.E.A.T.I.E.S. International) but we also have 5 hours difference between us and surprisingly enough...we both have real time life...so we do need to get together and collate all the final votes.

Please watch this space for winners of this year's M.E.A.T.I.E.S!!!

Excellent job, Claire!!!

And on your birthday too!!!

Alright...on my part I also would like to thank the community with entrusting me with this task...

I also like to thank everybody who nominated and/or voted - the turn out was incredible - you made this year's M.E.A.T.I.E.S. very special!!!

Being one of the people collecting votes I do know that many votes came for me in the categories that at the end I haven't won - and I thank you very much for that and although I haven't won...there is always next year!!! And I did have a VERY stiff competition in most categories in any event...stiff as well as deserving...

I am very grateful to win in the category of the postwhore...because believe it or not...I did have a very stiff competition there too and it even looked for a while that I may not win that one - believe it or not!!! :lmao:

So I am grateful to accept whatever it is that I've won in that category...and if it's a free ticket, airfare and lodging for November's Wembley...just send me a PM and I will send you my mailing instructions immediately!!!

Congratulations from the bottom of my heart to all the winners - reading through the list of winners again, I do see that the best of the best in each category won!!!

Thanks again and God bless!!!
