UPDATED! The second of many posts about the EmCee! →[More:]

So many responses, so cool! I want to make sure that everyone who wants to play gets in on this, and also find out what you think about doing 2 at the same time? I'm thinking if we have, say 14 people and we give each a week to do a panel, we won't get to see the final results until 2017 or so ;P

But if we do two, both with the same amount of people on each "team", it will go a lot faster. What do you think?

Here are the definites so far (please correct me if I'm wrong):

crush-onastick
BP
chrismear
mudpuppie
Kronos_to_Earth
rmless2
richat
Hugh Janus
box
iconomy
arse_hat
deborah
taz
misteraitch
ethylene
notquitemaryann
kyleg
filthy light thief
casarkos
jamaro

and here are people I'm not sure about (being a little dense):

danostuporstar
dg

interested onlookers

Miko
Obscure Reference
aniola

Anyone else? Everyone's invited to try. Any suggestions or commments? If we do two, there's another "go first" option for someone who wants to get their feet wet by going first (the easiest position to be in, since there's no matching up of a previous panel).

In my attempt to be a more active MeChanner (?), I would like to join in this-here fun.

If we have that many people volunteering, definitely do two at once.

posted by BoringPostcards 12 November | 20:30

I also just realized "volunteering" wasn't at all the word I needed... signing up? Jumping in? Something like that. You volunteer to mop floors, not to make art.

I blame a chatty partner, a late dinnertime, and pre-dinner drinks.

MeChanner (?)

"MeChazen" or "bunny" will both work here. :)

EmCee what? I have no idea what it is, probably missed the original post, but it sounds neat.

posted by casarkos 12 November | 20:42

Could I email your or someone with some questions about it? I am interested but unsure what it involves and whether or not I have what it takes to participate.

what is this about?

what is this about?

Look over there in the left sidebar for the "Emcee" link. It's been ages since we had one. Jump in if you're so inclined. :)

posted by BoringPostcards 12 November | 21:10

How cool (and how embarrassing for me that I never noticed the Emcee link over there on the left). I'd love to participate.

posted by jamaro 12 November | 21:14

I'd say two simultaneous is good.

posted by crush-onastick 12 November | 21:24

cool. doesn't look like something I'd have time for, though.

posted by desjardins 12 November | 21:24

Kangaroo, sure - you can email me. Addy's in my profile. Also look here for an explanation I put together a reaaaallly long time ago. It pretty much still holds true except that people send their bits and pieces to me, not taz.

I'll add new joiners to the list!

posted by iconomy 12 November | 21:32

Oh and thanks for the input, BP - two it is.

posted by iconomy 12 November | 21:33

Ha, it's been on the left all these ages and I'd never noticed. Yes, I definitely want to be in on this round!

posted by casarkos 12 November | 21:52

Sadly, I am not pixel-savvy enough to swing this, so please count me as an interested onlooker only.

posted by Specklet 13 November | 05:05

Ok, I'm waiting to hear back from someone about whether or not she wants to start one of the two we're doing - as soon as I do, let the games begin!

(it may even end up being three......!)

posted by iconomy 13 November | 09:54

Yay!

posted by mudpuppie 13 November | 11:14

Looks like y'all are in need of an audience! I'm signed up as an interested onlooker.

posted by aniola 13 November | 14:02

I'll add your name to the official list ;)

MeChanner (?)

"MeChazen" or "bunny" will both work here. :)

Only a failure of collective imagination keeps us from being Mechanisms.

posted by Hugh Janus 13 November | 14:36

iconomy, I have a first panel (and the appropriate pieces) ready; do I send it to you? I didn't find an email address in your profile.

posted by Kronos_to_Earth 14 November | 00:48

Sorry, it's there now. I couldn't update my profile for a while but it works now. Kronos, check your memail!

posted by iconomy 14 November | 11:42

Ok! I will do this officially with a new post on Monday, but for right now the teams are:

1.
Kronos_to_Earth
kyleg
ethylene
BP
mudpuppie
taz
casarkos

2.
richat
notquitemaryann
crush-onastick
chrismear
iconomy
filthy light thief
kangaroo

3.
deborah
rmless2
Hugh Janus
arse_hat
box
misteraitch
jamaro

Yeah, three! This is going to be awesome. My email is in my profile, now it's time for deborah, richat and kronos to do the first panel. Read the directions here, but send to me instead of taz. Whee! Hopefully the order of the teams is ok with everyone; if not, please let me know. I haven't tattooed the lists on my bum yet, so there is still time to switch people around. Deborah, if you'd rather not go first, please let me know!

posted by iconomy 14 November | 11:53

Yay!

posted by BoringPostcards 14 November | 12:23

COOL.

Now all I need to do is sort out how the hell to do this! Honestly, the scariest part for me is content, and since I had an idea....I'm not too afraid of the mechanics!

posted by richat 14 November | 15:20

I've emailed ico that I'm fine for starting (sorry for the late response, have had a rotten headache for the last two days).

I'm just not sure how to start one.

posted by deborah 15 November | 19:07

Here are the directions, just send to me instead of taz. My email is in my profile, just eliminate the spaces.
