sleeeve 3456 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Car Show Celebrity" 08-30-04, 01:35 PM (EST) "State Of The Spoiling -- Volunteers Wanted" I am looking for volunteers to help with our official State of the Spoiling (SOTS). What's that, you ask? Well... each week, we will publish a thread that tries to consolidate and refocus all of the spoiling for the week... the goal of the thread is primarily to inform - it is a summary of the spoiling, not merely an index of the active posts in spoilers. Its goal is to encourage focussed discussion of the theories that have surfaced each week, and to allow casual readers of the forum to "catch up" on the spoiling activity that has happened in this forum. We are looking for volunteers to put together this thread on a week-by-week basis... the job is a one week commitment, and here's what it entails: Make an attempt to read all of the active (ie: unlocked) threads in Spoilers between Thursday Night (after the show airs) and Tuesday Night for a week (actually... only five days). Assemble a summary, including links back to the original posts, of the various spoiling theories, to be posted sometime Tuesday evening or Wednesday no later than noon. I've found that this can be a mildly time-consuming task... it typically takes me about an hour to summarize and link everything in Spoilers, but may take you more or less time, depending on how organized you are... I've also found that the best approach is to take notes throughout the week as you read the forum, so that when it's time to post the SOTS, you already have an outline of what's been happening in Spoilers for a week. If you're not familiar with SOTS, please review some previous examples before volunteering for this task. Links to all of the SOTS from the previous two seasons can be found by copying and pasting this link into your browser to visit our news archives: http://www.realitytvworld.com/index/articles/newssection.php?x=||5 If you are interested in volunteering to take on SOTS for a week, please reply to this thread, and indicate any dates that you are not available... Since we do not know the exact dates for some of the episodes, nor do we know the finale date, nor do we know how many episodes there are, some of these episode dates may change... we'll play this by ear. E1 - Thurs., Sept. 16 - SOTS to be posted Monday Sept. 13 (early posting for first episode) E2 - Sept. 23 - SOTS to be posted Tues. afternoon, Sept. 21 (or Wednesday before noon) E3 - Sept. 30 - SOTS Tues., Sept. 28 E4 - Oct. 7 - SOTS Tues., Oct. 5 E5 - Oct. 14 - SOTS Tues., Oct. 12 E6 - Oct. 21 - SOTS Tues., Oct. 19 E7 - Oct. 28 - SOTS Tues., Oct. 26 E8 - Nov. 4 - SOTS Tues., Nov. 2 E9 - Nov. 11 - SOTS Tues., Nov. 9 E10 - Nov. 18 - SOTS Tues., Nov. 16 E11 - Thanksgiving, Nov. 25 - SOTS Tues., Nov. 23 E12 - Dec. 2 - SOTS Tues., Nov. 30 E13 - Dec. 9 - SOTS Tues., Dec. 7 E14?? - Dec. 16 - SOTS Tues., Dec. 14 E15?? - Dec. 23 - SOTS Tues., Dec. 21 Here's the deal: I will leave this thread open for about a week, before beginning to assign SOTS. People selected to do SOTS will be notified via e-mail with additional information and posting guidelines... the full list of those selected will be posted here, whenever I finally get around to making the selections.   Top

sleeeve 3456 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Car Show Celebrity" 09-07-04, 12:51 PM (EST) 21. "Schedule -- Writers, please respond" LAST EDITED ON 09-10-04 AT 12:14 PM (EST) Okay, here are the assignments for this season's SOTS. As always, I will send an information e-mail to each writer at the e-mail address that is associated with your user ID on the message boards with additional instructions approximately one week before your SOTS should be posted. Please verify now that you have a valid e-mail address associated with your account. If for any reason you are unable to complete the SOTS for your assigned episode, I would ask that you please let me know as soon as you realize that you are unavailable so that I can arrange for a replacement. Below is my best guess about the episode schedule. However, each SOTS assignment is based on episode number, NOT AIR DATE! Thus, you should follow your assigned episode number, no matter what date it eventually airs. There are three important things to note about how we will treat episode numbers: 1) If an episode is a "two-parter" (example: Episode 7A and 7B from Season 7), we will treat each episode as a separate episode number, regardless of how CBS chooses to number their episodes. 2) If there is a recap on any given week, this will NOT be treated as an episode for the purposes of SOTS, and the writers will be adjusted accordingly for one week. 3) The finale is no longer going to be treated as separate, as it was in previous seasons (blue people only), and therefore it will be done by whoever comes up in the rotation by episode number. However, there is a possibility that the finale will air on a Sunday, as it has in just about every recent season. If it airs on a Sunday, the SOTS should be posted no later than Friday night (which means that the finale writer will have a really short week to cover - only one day, but usually an entire seasons worth of spoiling to try to fit into that SOTS!!) Writers: If you accept your assigned episode, please respond to this post and let me know. If you cannot accept your assigned episode, please respond to this post and let me know.

I'm going to be at a wedding out of state. I didn't think we'd be going that many episodes. Of course, maybe we won't. Since those are hypothetical episodes, perhaps Dweeze and I can swap?

"No problem" It seems rather unlikely we'll get that far (I put you as last because you said that you didn't mind letting other people have a chance, so I gave you the least likely episode to occur). If, for some reason, we DO have an episode 15, I'll take find someone to cover it as we get closer to that date   Top
