Shakman Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 Awesome! I thought it's suppose to go to one recipient per week? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One trophy per week - (as opposed to multiple trophies) - but I'm okay with multiple recipients if necessary.

Shakman Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 Just now, I miss RVA said: One trophy per week - (as opposed to multiple trophies) - but I'm okay with multiple recipients if necessary. (Even the NFL has allowed the MVP award to be shared. ) I want to see competition for the best photo of the week. When I was growing up, I think I have, it was first place and everyone else. Here's an idea. How about an online poll to choose the winner? Polls close every Saturday at midnight. If no one votes, you choose. Thoughts? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eandslee Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 I third that. It’s awesome to submit photos (thanks for all who do), but the BEST one wins the prize! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, I know photos will likely drive it - but nominations should be open to and based on just about anything. To coin a phrase from a rather famous and really cool YouTuber - "anyway... it's just a thought." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To coin a phrase from a rather famous and really cool YouTuber - "anyway... it's just a thought." I’m good with that too. For example, what if someone has the scoop on the latest big development…yes, before RBS announces, etc. (would probably be fairly rare, but just an example). I can see that person winning the award for the week! Edited January 31 by eandslee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see that person winning the award for the week! Most definitely!! And it has happened before. Recall our intrepid staff of crack investigative reporters have been able to scoop RBS on more than one occasion! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakman Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 (edited) So if a forumer who has Kool Aid icon, who can't get enough port-o-potty jokes and who CONSTANTLY makes silly comments can win this award for coming up with a great idea??? If so, I'm all in as well! Edited January 31 by Shakman 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss RVA Posted February 9 Author Report Share Posted February 9 QUICK QUESTION - is it possible to set up a survey/poll on this website? Do you guys still want to vote for the weekly award winner(s)? I'm fine either way we do it - either through voting for one weekly winner - or - anyone nominated shares the award (I'm a Libra, so sharing it makes perfect sense to me - Libras have challenges when it comes to choosing from a bunch of worthy options) - anyway, guys, lmk what to do so I can get @Hikethe name(s) for engraving on the trophy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's one I found on line, checking here to see if it works, if it does, it also allows for using pictures with vote tallies. https://strawpoll.com/polls/jVyG880NYn7 Edited February 9 by Hike 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ancientcarpenter Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 (edited) Just an idea: Should we do this trophy monthly? Realistically, how many active users do we have on here and how many are even sharing pictures to be candidates? We may end up with 5 people taking majority of the 52 trophies. I plan to post a lot of CoStar dev photos which means I'm guaranteed AT LEAST a vote by @I miss RVA each week Just want to make sure the trophy doesn't get diluted - we don't have the World Cup every year for that reason or the Oscars every month. I will be (proudly) displaying my trophy in my account signature below for all to see on every one of my comments Edited March 10 by ancientcarpenter 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have to apologize to everyone that I've fallen off the award train just a bit - I had to relocate house over the last couple of weeks and it's taken me away from a lot of my usual daily routine. I'm getting settled in for now - and will get back to our regularly scheduled programming regarding the trophies and RVA in cranes. Life got really hectic for a few weeks - but I think it's leveling off enough now that I can get back into a decent routine. All of that said, I'm on board with a monthly award if that's what the community would prefer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Side note: We should do a somewhat better job mentioning UP in the rva subreddit. That's how I was brought here and look at me now I'm now a possible recipient of a silver port-a-potty maybe - I'm someone now! Hope your move is going well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
