Before I forget, I'm going to write down comments on this year. Feel agree to not comment or agree or disagree or whatever.
-A strict schedule on this is doomed to fail. Judge the minutes between awards by its length, let everyone comment, AT LEAST 5 minutes. 15 minute breaks every 10-15 awards is a good guideline as well.
-5 hours is not enough for 50 awards thus - we need 7-8. Since more people seemed to actually make the time to come all day, and the forced-presentation backup send-in to my PM worked very well (only 1 award leftover - Girrr working hard on A1 as we speak), it is possible to do something like 3-10p next year...or...
-Fail/Userpedia take 3-4 hours one night, Mario takes a relaxed 5 the next. Snack suggests this and a Friday/Saturday combo could work really well (next year: 8/13-14/2010). It could also allow for another set of awards easily, since we seem to love to add every year.
-Chat was incredibly active this year, YES! 20+ people in #mwikiawards for the entire event! Forum activity was high for Userpedia but then went back to average. That forum activity caused slowness and led to half the posts in the Userpedia Awards II ceremony thread as last year (151, 80). 100 for Fail was a nice start. 300+ for Mario is average the last two ceremonies (340s, 308). Two nights may remedy this inconsistency.
-MKWii tourney is 95% going to happen, Brawl still failed
This thread will help me in February when I start getting ideas together for next year! :D
Plumber and S-Y support this:
"SnackServ came up with the idea to spread it out over a Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I think we should have Fail Awards and 10 Mario Awards the first day (20 awards), Userpedia Awards and 10 Mario awards the second day (20 awards) and the last 10 Mario awards along with parties and a tournament and other gimmicks (10 awards + fun crap)."
Snack says:
"My original idea was a two schedule on just Saturday and Sunday with Userpedia and Fail on Saturday and Mario on Sunday. I'm worried that if we spread the awards out too much we could lose activity. Whether we go with a two or three day schedule, I think that this year's performance (Seven and a half hours) has shown that the awards have outgrown a one-day event."
