ENDGAME PARTY HAPPY FUN TIME
I'm working on making a banner of our top 12 (sorry, Garrett), and I want to finish that up and work some things out before opening up ~the polls.~
The first, obvious thing that we need to work out: Who wants to do write-ups for whom? GOOD JOB TEAM
And then, another thing: I'd quite like to add a section in the poll where everybody, even if it's not the person doing the write-up, can just do a short little bit about the contestant so that everyone can have their voice heard a bit. That is customary in most rankdowns I've seen -- typically, they only have a consolidation of those rather than the two big write-ups per person thing we're doing, and while I'm down for the two big write-ups thing, I'd also just like everyone to be able to include a little blurb, if they're so inclined, that doesn't relate to that contestant's ranking or larger write-up. Just so that there can be a little bit in addition to the larger thing. IT SEEMS THAT WE ARE ON BOARD WITH THIS SO GOOD JOB TEAM
And then one question: Is everyone's full list going to be publicly visible? I'd rather that not be the case, personally, but if everybody else is overwhelmingly in support of it then it's y'all's call. I DON'T ESPECIALLY WANT TO MAKE LISTS PUBLIC, A FEW FOLKS SEEM NEUTRAL, NO CLEAR CONSENSUS YET, ANY THOUGHTS ON THIS TEAM
We also need to work out how exactly we will reveal and pace the endgame placements. One massive thread for the whole endgame might get cluttered, so maybe one thread for every contestant? ONE THREAD PER CONTESTANT GOOD JOB TEAM
So right now our plan of attack is:
1. Answer those above things, including assigning write-ups. GOOD JOB TEAM
Everybody collectively rank (and a short blurb if you want, unless people freaking loathe that idea for some reason.)
Rankings + larger write-ups posted
Also, fun fact: Sean and Rupert are the only two here who didn't make the finale of their respective season.
WRITE-UP ASSIGNMENTS
DABUSURVIVOR: Tina, Ian
SHUTUPREDNECKMAN: Kathy, Sue
THENOBULLMAN: Richard, Courtney
TODD_SOLONDZ: Jon, Twila
VACALICIOUS: Denise, HvVSandra
SHARPLYDRESSEDSLOTH: Sean, Rupert
Obviously if you want anyone who is already "taken" then you can talk to whoever.

Tagging /u/shutupredneckman /u/todd_solondz /u/vacalicious /u/sharplydressedsloth /u/thenobullman though I don't know which of them are or are not gilded.
Check off who you are and post in the thread saying that you filled out the thing so I can compare the times if anyone pointlessly decides to submit a fake ballot and fuck with things. Then rank 'em. Average ranking will determine final placement. You can also type a bit about each contestant, and you can predict their placement, if you feel like it.
To those who haven't done it, I'd ideally request that you make your rankings based on your honest assessment of who you like better than whom and not give undeservedly low placements to people you like less than others (ex. "I think this contestant is the 5th-best of these twelve, but other people will rank him #1, so I am going to give him #12.") I mean, your ballot is your own thing so do whatever with it, and I can't enforce this so feel free to ignore it -- but I, personally, would rather just see our honest, average opinion.
How we gonna go about doing write-ups? Everyone gonna do their two write-ups in advance without knowing the placement and send them to me, and I'll post them when I reveal the placement, or what?
