Bill Murray Award Thread

sorry I just cant see why doing things only for an award is looked down upon

because it's absolutely ridiculous that after 7 years or so of people doing flash purely because they enjoy making it and showcasing it and being proud of their work, or making people laugh, we have been reduced to only putting effort in when we are assured a small picture under a bigger picture on an internet forum

But it is the truth, everyone is just trying to pretend it isn't.

This is how I would rank award policies:
1. Get rid of awards <--BEST
2. Only participation awards
3. Competition and participation awards
4. Just competition  <--WORST
Moving them inside user profiles would be fine by me too.

I think both a pixel award and beating out other clocks are bad reasons to make flash.  Both are higher-up attempts to manipulate clocks into making flash.  I think competition is worse than participation awards though - because only competition makes rivals out of the flash makers, resentment for the people trying their hardest, and losers out of almost everyone.  I don't think the extra flash competition produces are worth it.

I think the only decent way to get someone else to make a flash is to make a flash of your own that inspires them.  That's how the Clock Crew began..

swap 2 and 3 and I agree fully.

this worked out great with postcount too, so I don't see why not!

Regarding what Update and Snake said, maybe we should split pixel images into two categories:
-Records(Participation Awards)
-Awards(Winning Awards, e.g Best Plot for a writing contest)

Never give Souvlaki an award again.

[patriotclock]

awards are cool.

[YoYoClock]

Never give Souvlaki an award again.

Regardless of what we end up doing with i think we should definitely do this

also zombielincoln makes some good points and i think we should just scrap the system. maybe keep what we have but not give out anymore. and move them to the profiles

I WANT MY FUCKING AWARD

[FLOUNDERMAN_CLOCK]

I wouldn't mind if they were moved to your profile, just as long as we keep em somewhere. I like looking at them.

[BootClock]

In profile awards sounds good, then you aren't flashing them about being all elitist and they are still there as a sort of record of what you've accomplished as snake is saying. Update is right, it worked with post count, I never look at anyone's post count anymore unless I genuinely wanna know it, which is rare and I think if the same thing came about for awards that would be good.

Of course completely scrapping them is my first preference I just think this is also a good idea.

[patriotclock]

whats wrong with the current system

[Bigglesnoots]

Update is right, it worked with post count

aww yeah
