Welcome to the Paper Pub! Random discussions about the Paper People group can go here. For instance, about what new competitions or other group activities you'd like!

So kicking off the first discussion, mentioned in the First Scavenger hunt thread, is anyone interested in holding a wallpaper-war as stated by Damoser: [readmore]

wallpaper war: we can have it set as elimination rounds. first rounds can include already existing walls, any age, any subject. second round, any age, specific subject. finals have to be new.

primary rounds: 1 point to every one entered. i know it sounds too easy, but it rewards walling. no one can enter the same wall twice though.

secondary rounds: 5 points to any qualifying entry. point from previous round included, they are not cumulative.

final rounds: 10 points third place. 15 points second place. 20 points first place.

all points are obviously up for discussion. [/readmore] Or would anyone be interested in participating in a 'normal' wallpaper competition?

Well, I think it's best to see who's willing to participate in any wallpaper competition and if so, what they would like as a theme.

hey mister, i'll work up some traffic. how bout you work some up so we can get an actual conversation going on in here about what we're gonna do. so we can actually get started.

also, sorry for the delay in starting the other thread, my house was kinda hectic yesterday, had my roommates family over, and there was no way i could get away with isolating myself on the comp. going to work on it now.

edit: ok the other hunt is open. lemme know what you guys think of it. let's try to keep chatting here, unless it's about the specific hunt or competition going on in the thread it's related to.

I like the new hunt, but I doubt if it's handy to get people to post the anime series they can watch any time to look up hints. Personally, I have an external HDD filled with anime, plus a couple of series on DVD, but I know many people watch anime on TV, so they won't have the possibility of rewatching.

Please discuss, right now Damoser, Moto and me are basically the only ones talking, but we need the input of the other group members!

I agree.LOL its time i send a PM to the members...But half of them are dead >_> (XD)

*Edit* Alright now i shall make sure that Paper People runs as smooth and as much as it can!!.As the new admin of this group 8)E i vow to make it the best =) Also damoser and GoldenApe are my 2 new mods and their decisions will be welcomed very much.All the other suggestions will be welcomed as well =) Oh and btw Ga and dam what should i do with the people who are unactive on Ap for sometime??..Any suggestions?

inactive for more than two months get a PM that they are removed from the group and may reapply when they become active again.

everybody gets a PM, saying they must join in this discussion and give us an opinion, those that don't receive another saying that since they have chosen not to participate in group activities they are no longer part of the group.

as for the list of animes, i mean that those who don't have access to watching them online, or getting them to watch on their computer, i.e. those with narrowband connections, list those that they have readily available, own. i don't expect people with broadband to list all of those they can get, the list would be far too long.

if we do it this way we can use this medium for hunts and make sure everyone is included.

Serious now, it's hard to force people to be active in this group. It'd be best if people just left the group themselves if they know they're not active. Anyways, maybe it is a good idea to send people a PM. I know there are about 240 members in this group, but we could split that amount and let's say, moto PM's membernames starting with A to G, damoser does H to K, I'll do L to R, etc. (just naming random letters). We could just make up a standard PM for everyone to send, maybe with a cool banner in it or something.

Edit: damoser posted while I was typing this.

Oh and this is the sample message that u can just send to all those not active for 2 months or so.

This message is being sent to you as to inform you of your long unactivity on Paper People (and Animepaper).This is to inform you that you are being removed from the member list of Paper People.If u come online and wish to re-apply into the group please do so.U will be given entry without any questions. Regards


Oh and btw let me know the names of the people..And also i wont delete everybody..Respect some ranks and well get rid of some and Lol that should be good =)

Wow, you guys are the only ones hanging around here? The new hunt thing is too complicated for people looking to join in. To get more people, the games should be fun and easy to participate in. Hard games would only make people give up after poking their heads in. What's the point of having a new hunt, only to have 3 people take part?

SImple hunts can still go in the Scavenger hunt thread. Plus you're free to submit any ideas for new games here.

Anyways, moto, I'll work out some letter to send around as well, yours is a bit too formal and serious.

I have to agree with saa-chan about the new hunt. It's really hard to figure out (I tried and I believe my result is wrong) and people will get frustrated easily.

Anyway, I'm glad that you all put so much effort in this group to keep it alive. I was absent here some time and I feel a bit bad about this.

Btw, what about the 30 people which needed to be approved for membership here? I could approve some of them but I'm not an admin in this group and I can only see that because of me being a mod. If you need help with it feel free to ask me ^^

the other hunt is for those who get bored with the easier one. let's not forget we have a wallpaper game in plans, and one that requires very little for the first entries. also, isn't this group supposed to be for active members? is it too much to ask that they at least check in and see if they have an idea for the games?

i think we should assign people to lead certain games. i'll lead the other hunt, and anyone who would like to help is welcome to. i think GA should lead the wallpaper war, and voicey should lead the original hunt. but let's all pay attention to make sure they are not neglected. we all do have lives outside of AP as well, at least i hope we all do, to some extent.

as for my hints, we already knew that i make obscure hints. but i'm going to refine them as need be based on responses, and let people know when they are on the right track.

Just to clarify, I never got bored with the scavenger hunt. I was simply too busy to look there. I'm off for about 3 weeks now, so I came back after moto left a msg on my UP. Not trying to pour water over your ideas or anything, but the people who went away because they were too busy to participate definitely won't have time to participate in the new hunt :x It would be a good idea if the group had lots of active members though.

In general, It's hard to get ppl to participate without bigger incentives. I think it might be worth it to post a newsletter of sorts, with weekly or monthly activities that are new, and new prizes every month or something.
