Dinner eh?

Only if it included alcohol and many rounds of desserts may your dastardly plan work

...

And perhaps some sort of sacrifice? a goat maybe? I shall call him Curly, and he can mow my lawns

I've always wanted a goat.

The "MVM" Award is a popularity award, no more, no less...

An example would be the member who produces the most knowledge, saves the most trops from being destroyed, has posts in the thousands and is thanked numerous times for his/her help but sadly is not a favorite of the Award givers because he/she expresses opinions that the Awarders of the coveted MVM do not agree with.

You can bet this deserving member, be they more than one, doesn't stand a chance in hell to receive the Award.

Now you tell me that the Award isn't a popularity Award only.

It also has to do with attitude, to members and the site as a whole.

We are aware that you would like the award Gary, but suprisingly enough this is not the right way to go about getting it.

I apologise that you feel the need to belittle this award simply because you have not recieved one yourself. I am sorry that you feel a few pixels would make you more valuable to the FP community.

Calla seems determined to protect the MVM Award...

If I was in her home town I'd take her out to dinner and drinks and persuade her to see my point of view.

I wonder if that would work.

- I vote No, not because Adam isn't a valuable member - he is the most crucial 'member' of all - but he goes above and beyond 'member' status, seeing as it is his site, he is at the top of the 'pyramid' and without Adam I doubt FP would continue.

P.s, I fear your blinkers shield you, Gary - I think Calla only seeks to tell the truth.

The point of this poll was/is because of the nature of the award Adam has not given it to himself yet. It is going to take the members of FP themselves to grant him the award.

I say he should give it to himself....

I wonder who the scariest member is, then.

Me, Books]:|]:|

I had a goat when we had a small farm in the outskirts of Buffalo, NY, Calla.

Every time I turned my back outside he would charge and butt me in the . I hated that goat.

For those who do not know MVM is a new award for the Most Valuable Member.

I Vote YES since if it was not for his hard work this site would not be here.

Oh, that's interesting. I didn't think that mods counted as "staff". I guess now I'll have to treat you guys with more respect!

Before anyone gets mad, I was joking.

I must agree with Babel...that avatar is terrifying...Leslie and I were talking this afternoon about it...I always feel as though I have my momma yelling at me wagging that finger for something I've done wrong, and know that the beatings will begin soon for it...
