Walddk Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 I have probably been inattentive, but why is it that we don't have the BPO any more? Whatever the reason is, would it not be a good idea to get it back? (Sorry, I don't have time to be the moderator if that's an issue).

mikeh Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 I'd be happy to be the moderator, if that is an issue :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 I think there was also the question, who collects the votes.The first BPO got killed, since peoplecomplained about lots of things in private to Elianna, who did this. I am not really suitable for trustworthy tasks, I always gets those, wondering how it did happen, pitty the poor soulsin my company, who rely on those task. :ph34r: But if there was a group, sharing this task, I would be willing to join this group. With kind regardsMarlowe PS: I think it would also be an good idea, if there were a group of moderators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 I'd be willing to moderate a set too, if not help with gathering the votes and comments. I've actually got a pretty good rolodex of players now :ph34r: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jillybean Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 I’d be happy to help collect and tally members votes etc or anything else that doesn’t require premium bidding knowledge :ph34r: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elianna Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 I think there was also the question, who collects the votes.The first BPO got killed, since peoplecomplained about lots of things in private to Elianna, who did this. It wasn't really private. They made complaints about how I should do something one way, I informed them that I already did, and gave them links, and they said that they were too busy to read those. That was just the final straw. Pigpenz took over the tabulating of scores (not the assigning of points, but the adding them up and recording for everyone). I don't know if he (she?) still wants to, but whoever is in charge may want to ask him (her?) in case he (she?) still would like to be involved, so that he (she?) doesn't feel left out.

Finch Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 moderating, in the sense of writing up the results and integrating the panel's comments, is the easy bit. The pain in the neck is collecting everyone's answers and working out what they scored. I'm not volunteering either, because I also don't have time. Maybe some computer-geek-like person could write a web page to collect votes, put them in a database, mark them as 'reader' or 'panellist' and then tabulate the answers so it's all automatic apart from the one skilled job of assigning marks and making sense of the panellists comments. I'm not volunteering to to that, because I still don't have time (and you wouldn't want to use any HTML I wrote, trust me on this). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elianna Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 The pain in the neck is collecting everyone's answers and working out what they scored. I'm not volunteering either, because I also don't have time. I have an excel file that adds up people's scores, and am more than willing to share that with the next scorer. It wasn't too hard putting people's answers in that file (they would email or private message me), when they followed the requested formatting. Of course, only 2/3 of people did, but that was ok, too because this only amounted to ten or so people. Adding up how many people gave each answer to each question was a little more annoying, and I would end up doing that by hand (it was easier than writing a program to do that).

pigpenz Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 anyone who wants to can take over for me, if no one is interested I/me can still do it...it really only takes about 30 minutes per poll and one piece of paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Can we start sending in suggested hands now? To who? MikeH, PhilC? Other? Ben can you please appoint your Presidential envoy, ala Bremer now? thanks :D.If they do not accept just Draft them into the army. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 I have been volunteered/drafted to be the moderator. I am probably going to be creating my own hands, using (old) magazine examples, perhaps slightly modified. But I am open to any submissions anyone has: my email for this is mhargreaves@jonesemery.com. Please, no more than 2 or 3 hands from any one person :) B) :D :) I cannot promise a deadline, but I will try to post the problems, and send to the 'panelists', within a couple of weeks. I will be going to the Hawaii Nationals (my first road trip to an ACBL tournament in years) so doubt that the answers will materialize until I get back.

mikeh Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 It is time, and past time. Mea culpa: the result of my taking a short vacation and having too much work has been that I am now inundated. However, I have a few hands already chosen and will finish the poll selection this weekend. I will then seek Ben's help in sending the poll to the panel and will then post the problem set on the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 I would suggest a new panel (well upgrades to the panel).... Luis was great on the panel,but he isn't posting here anymore.. and several of the people I added (to try to trick them into coming to the site and posting..hehehehe) only sent in their answers but never show up. So I think if it is going to restarted, we might need to seek out new blood... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerben42 Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 This will be interesting if it starts again. A lot of thanks to Mike for starting it up again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Well, I overcame my tendency to procrastination and have sent Ben a set of hands. I gather that Ben may have some difficulty getting a panel together but I will post the hands here once he has done so and the panel has had some time to answer.

inquiry Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 poll sent to the panelist not sure if all will respond, we need a few more.
