This is a private, social forum. As long as we follow the rules of ECF, we are all free to participate in anything we want--or not--and all our actions and "rules" are purely voluntary. We don't sign contracts and nobody can hire or fire us. Nobody can appoint a leader of a voluntary group unless members of that group agree.
The only obstacle to a peaceful continuation of the PVT and the contest is jj2, who just appointed herself a tzar of the contest. I'm not sure on what authority, though. J0ker didn't mention anything about jj2 being in charge of making or enforcing rules--and according to "as things are now," jj2 is a liaison. The rules are made by PVT.
I appeal to you jj, one more time. Please, please, don't let a good thing that we all love and enjoy get ruined. It's now you against 10 or 12 of us. Please, let's go back to J0ker's "as things are now" for the rest of the year. Simple rules, no stupid and unforceable timelines, no bonus drawings--welcome
threads and avatar parties for those who want them, two grand drawings at the end of the year, the PVT decides who's eligible. Plain and simple.
J0ker wanted the rules to be more inclusive and easy to understand--and he wanted those who run PVT to be in charge--you agreed. J0ker wants this thing to survive untill the end of the year and he wants us to act like adults and not bother him anymore. It's all in your hands, jj. Please.
The PreVets was started by Whiskey--and it owes most of its popularity to Whiskey's years of hard work, dogged dedication and her personal charm. The contest is just piggybacking on Whiskey's
thread's enormous success. Let's not forget that.
