** RTB: Raising The Bar; Official Thread **

[Blackjack]

With the 2009-2010 campaign now laid to rest we're left to look forward to the Draft, free-agency and the inevitable trade talk to tide us over until we get some Summer ball and the eventual training camp. But with games still yet to be played and some downtime before any of the aforementioned can really get kicked off, it'd probably be a good idea to not lose sight of the bar and not let this board taper off to pre-RTB levels.

Many were asked to step their game up and have obliged. Some were asked to do something of their own to contribute to the board, and there've been a handful of people that have done their part or at least made a contribution upon the initial request. But let's not lose sight of the bar and where we'd all like to keep it set. Let's figure out a way everyone can do their part so no one feels burdened with another responsibility or feels obligated to do something they feel forced to do -- this should be about keeping the board at a standard that everyone's comfortable with and more can aspire to.

So with that being said, let's hear what you've got. If you'd like to do a column like myself every once in a while, go for it. If there's some kind of inside the numbers thing you'd like to do, that's great too; Scouting, capologists, comedy, entertainment, whatever you feel you can contribute and do well, by all means. Do it to it.

I'm sure there are plenty of people that would like to do the same thing, that's great as well. If y'all know what each other are doing you can confer beforehand and keep a steadier flow of content -- trade off weeks, make a rotation or just talk before hand so you don't step on each others toes. Just make it known what you'd like to contribute in this thread and you can figure out who's on the same page as you and get a gameplan moving forward -- this thread will serve as the War Room to allow posters to see what's on deck and what's coming down the pike in days, weeks and months down the road; it'll also serve as a place to brainstorm and figure out what kind of content posters here would be interested in seeing.

We've got a lot of sick puppies here that should probably be doing time, but, for the most part, they've got some creativity and good ideas. Let's put 'em to use. With that, I open the board to you. Suggestions and/or contributions ... let's see what y'all got.

Recent suggestion: SpursTalk Awards (http://spurstalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=154313)

Being that this is a NBA-themed board, I'd suggest (if you guys would like to do it) the awards follow a similar guideline: First, Second and Third All-SpursTalk, Rookie of the Year, MVP and so forth. There'd have to be something for the best non-Spurs poster, troll and maybe thread and post of the year, but I think the 1-3 Teams, ROY and MVP are a good place to start.

Yea or nay on the awards?

[Chieflion]

Blackjack = Boom, roasted for plagarizing ideas

After suggesting that there should be an MVP award race for Spurstalk, he has been "Boom, roasted." Without using the search function, Blackjack created a thread to show who is the MVP, ROY, of the Spurs forum this season. After writing such long posts, it is safe to assume Blackjack has been drinking and gotten drunk.

When interviewed, Phila_Chamberlain said he would contribute by suggesting monthly realistic trade ideas which tend to go a little bit out of hand. Realistic trade ideas are non-existent in the Spurs forum and should not appear unless in the context of trading Tony Parker away, which would ignite the flames of the Tony Parker gangbusters led by ducks.

This ends Chieflion's report on the RTB: Raising the Bar; Official Thread. There is more to come later. Read my next report.

Do your thing and if it catches on, keep on keepin' on.

We just need to -- as a collective -- do our part individually so that this place doesn't have a precipitous drop off. If it works it works. If not ... try something else.

It's all about pounding the rock, after all. :hat

So how are we going to do the nominations for the awards? I'll be honest we have a lot of ass kiss voters on this board. It just depends on who ass is kissed the most.
:tu now who could that be?

[Blackjack]

So how are we going to do the nominations for the awards? I'll be honest we have a lot of ass kiss voters on this board. It just depends on who ass is kissed the most.

I think we need to come to some kind of consensus.

We should probably start a thread with a poll for each award (a closed poll -- it'd be cool if we could keep the vote quiet so we could unveil the winners on a certain day) and go from there.

Like for the First, Second and Third Team awards, we'll narrow it down to the top 15 vote-getters and then do polls for First, Second and Third team -- the MVP could be the leading vote-getter or we could do a separate poll with those 15 and have posters decide who they believe deserves the award.

Something like that. A thread for nominees, a thread with a poll for the nominees and a final results thread where each award is unveiled. If you've got something better, I'm all ears.

Video replay of a play (or plays).

When a game changing or controversial play occurs, sometimes it's available on YouTube. But lots of times it isn't.

Could we get a good hearted-has time-and techno skills-person to put a clip of the requested play(s) up? Like if Slomo wasn't constantly dating Russian models or ????

If this offseason will be decent on ST I'm fine


PP? Well I don't know - I'm not kinda offseason guy, salary guy and rumors guy.


But maybe I will write one to end the season.
You are the only person IMO who remembers I had that RTB threads also

[Blackjack]

I'm in for awards as long as I receive the first official SpursTalk Spammy for my Nickelback cover video.

That's definitely going to be in the running for something. For what, I'm not sure. :lol

We need some ideas on how to do the awards and what the categories there should be.

My first thought was to just have a nomination thread where the top 15 vote-getters are placed on First, Second or Third Team All-SpursTalk. And then from that we can do another thread with a poll of those 15 for MVP, or something along those lines. Rookie of the Year will be something similar -- have those that'd like to be taken into consideration post in another thread and then start a poll from there.

But if we're going to do it right, we've gotta have something for post and thread of the year, Best Foreign Poster (or something for the non-Spurs fan) and Troll of the Year.

But I need to know if you guys are cool with those categories/which ones you are cool with and what categories would you like to see or add; and some kind of consensus on how to tabulate results.

Give me some suggestions and I'll see if I can find a way to do it to it.

I think you need to do an end-of-season one. I may be one of the few that acknowledged Poland's Perspective but I know I'm not the only one to take the time to read it. It was definitely worth taking the time, IMO. Good stuff. :tu

[Blackjack]

And if anyone of you peoples wants to hit me up with a PM to make a suggestion, that's fine. Whatever it takes to get more of you involved in RTB, let's get it done.

[polandprzem]

Best poster
All-ST
All-defense ST team
Best defender
Rookie [first year so I dunno]
Best Clubber [guy from he club]
Best lady

Best knowledge
Worst poster
Idol
Best quote
Most innovative

jesus and many more

[Man In Black]

Best sig with substance? There's a lotta flash but not really a whole lot of substance. I suppose it's purely subjective. I mean the sigs with big tits are all fine and smile inducing but full of substance? That's to be determined.

Best sig with substance? There's a lotta flash but not really a whole lot of substance. I suppose it's purely subjective. I mean the sigs with big tits are all fine and smile inducing but full of substance? That's to be determined.

And that's pretty much the crux of it -- all good ideas but the list could go forever.

Maybe we can do 1-3 All-SpursTalk (which can encompass every board), Club and NBA Forum Poster of the Year, Rookie of the Year and Troll of the year.

Once that's done and we see how it goes, we can get into the more specialized and entertainment awards: Post and Thread of the Year, Sig of the Year, SpursTalk Saying/Word of the Year (something to credit the poster with the best tagline or for introducing a word to the SpursTalk lexicon), Spammy (for musical contribution and/or Nickleback douchebaggery :hat), etc.

But I think we should probably start with the basics and then we can figure out all the other stuff as we go. Plus, it'll be a way to stretch it out over the Summer to keep SpursTalk with some fresh, entertaining material throughout.

[Blackjack]

I need criteria, folks.

I want to open an All-SpursTalk award nominations thread, but I need to know what the criteria should be. Should this be solely for Spurs fans; solely for posters contributions to the Spurs board; or should it just be who you believe are the 15 best posters/contributors to the board?

I intend on doing MVP/Poster of the Year award for the NBA forum, Club and something for Troll of the year, so how should we determine the All-SpursTalk Teams?

[Rappin' Pop]

I am gonna nominate myself, rappin' style.


Yo, Blackjack, what's up, dawg.
Tony Parker was acting like a motherfucking ballhog.
We all know Fabbs likes to hate me singing.
But I got 4 championships ringing!
Not only that, Phila thinks he can fool around with his trades.
He thinks he will be able to get some STD Wades.
polandprzems thinks he can come up with some perspectives.
Howeva, all he gonna come up with is some shitty contraceptives.
So, we raisin the bloody bar, I destroying this thread like a demolition derby.
We don't say tee hee around here like that pedophile Cubby.

So, Spurstalkers, tell me how my ass tastes.

Should J.T. be worried about his Spammy?

He has to be concerned about a double whammy.
You just wasting my time, my man.
I just opened another fuckin whoop ass can.
How long can you withstand these ass kickings?
Just ask the new troll on the NBA forum, 21_Dickings.

So, Blackjack, tell me how my ass tastes.

If you're gonna get down to the details, it will turn out to be horridly convoluted so I think a Top __ list will be better.

You can come up with the different awards first. Put up the list in a poll if you have trouble choosing the most pertinent ones.

Ask for nominations for each award. Maybe limit one nomination per poster. Then put up those names for a vote once the deadline for nominations has passed.

My suggestions for awards:

ST MVP
ST All NBA 1st, 2nd, 3rd team
ST Armchair Coach of the Year
ST Troll of the Year
ST Rookie of the Year
ST Most Improved Poster of the Year
ST GM of the Year
ST Foreign Poster of the Year
ST Pistons<Spurs Photoshop of the Year
ST GIF of the Year


Yeah, sorry for the lack of originality. :lol

Very nice; and I like the Pistons<Spurs Photoshop of the Year (as I was thinking about doing something similar for jaffies -- the award should be named after them, screw just receiving it :lol).

All right, I'm trying to wrap my head around your suggestion but I need a little clarification (forgive me, I'm dense).

I need to get to some kind of consensus on 15 posters for The All-SpursTalk Teams. Concentrate on that and tell me how you'd go about it; are you suggesting I put all the award categories in one thread and let people nominate that way?

Actually, Maybe I should just have people quote the OP and fill out a ballot consisting of all the awards. . .

Anyone?

Oops, sorry ... I guess ya not that important

Confusing Shaq with Pop ain't no ringin' endorsement

Of you, son, what ya thank 'bout that

Flappin your gums be only a wasted breath

But it's all right Pop, you ain't done for yet

But if you keep talikn' that noise you'll leave wet and upset

'Cause I don't play when the verses start to flow

Straight rippin' vital organs with a twisted smile yo

Enjoyin' your demise lost in the afterglow

As I been playin' with your emotions like some GI Joe

So how ya gonna come correct to that

You act like you know, like you know the 'Jack

But it's all right, fool, I get your shtick

Playin' with your nursery rhymes lickity split

Time to head off, Pop, and end the show

I'm all out of quarters for your mother's show.

So come up with something for RTB, or walk on home, boy (that's more my speed) . . .

For the All ST Teams, maybe you can do it similar to the way NBA does it? The easy way out would be just to get the nominations, and then after voting, just get the 15 top vote getters. Unless you wanna do it by position. :lol

As for the other categories, this is what I've seen from another site. Open a thread where you list out all the categories and ask posters to nominate a poster for each category.

After the deadline, collect all the nominees for each category and just open a poll like what poland said.

I've decided we're going to do the All-SpursTalk Teams, MVP, Rookie and maybe a few others first; and then we'll do a Spammy's (or whatever you guys want to call it) for all the entertainment-type stuff (trolls, threads, posts, photoshops, etc.).

I should have a thread for the 15 nominated members up for All-SpursTalk by the end of the week -- maybe start of next week -- and we'll go from there.

In the meantime, keep the suggestions coming -- name for the awards, categories and whatever else you can think of -- and I'll see what I can do.

How about a forum where you can dump all of the crap instead of locking them out. As long as they don't do anything illegal (under age photos and express news). You could even title it "How low can you go?" Kind of a way to raise the bar by thinning the garbage from here by giving it a place to be.

Dissent.

It's as American as shouting down apple pie (and good call on the beer-induced extramarital sex, even if I wouldn't limit it to that sweet nectar of the gods :tu).

Quick update:

I've got about half of the nominations in and I'll probably start doing the polls next week. We're probably going to have to do a few, so I'm thinking I'll stretch it over a few weeks since it's the Summer and it'll give us something to do while there's not as much going on.

I'll probably just set up a poll, leave it open for 48hrs or so and start the next poll the following week on the same day, or something to that effect; I'm thinking there's probably going to be 3 in all to come up with the All-SpursTalk Teams -- vote total will decide which team the Top-15 make.

If anyone's got something they'd like to contribute to the cause (maybe some awards graphics, names, ideas on how to do it, or otherwise) leave me a message in this thread so we can figure something out; I'm hoping to have all the nominations in by Friday.

Thanks.

I'm waiting to see if a few more are going to come in but today is the last day. I'll be getting it started tomorrow -- Chieflion's offendedness is just too unbearable . . .

[Blackjack]

Just to be clear, if I've sent you a list and you've yet to get back to me, you've got until late tonight to get it to me -- I'm trying to get as fair a representation as possible but by tomorrow morning ... dem polls be closed.

Thanks to y'all that have or are taking the time to help a brother out. :toast

You mean, for Poland's Perspective?

Hopefully all this year-end award stuff will give you some material and maybe something to bitch about. :lol

yea well all together. it's really not about pp. I do not think it rising anything. There are many more better threads and posts coming from time to time on this board.
I'm not a some sort of changing anything kinda guy in here.

To me - I need to have an impuls to do something.
I'm off recently. I've started to write PP but I stopped and cannot force myself to do anything. No I'm not gonna take prosac. :)

But I see a wall with a sign misarable. And that's what I feel mostly now. My life. I feel like I'm in a cage and cannot free myself. That's my life. Like a mental block like well I can't go take a risk and perform on the areas I never been before.
I always felt I'm not reaching any level of the potential I had. Now it becomes a reality. I'm unable to do this and now I'm getting old ...

ehhh doesn't matter

[Blackjack]

I've decided we're going to do the All-SpursTalk Teams, MVP, Rookie and maybe a few others first; and then we'll do a Spammy's (or whatever you guys want to call it) for all the entertainment-type stuff (trolls, threads, posts, photoshops, etc.).

I should have a thread for the 15 nominated members up for All-SpursTalk by the end of the week -- maybe start of next week -- and we'll go from there.

In the meantime, keep the suggestions coming -- name for the awards, categories and whatever else you can think of -- and I'll see what I can do.

All right, so All-SpursTalk is up and moving but I still need some input on the rest.

What should constitute rookie, Jan. 1, 2009? And how do you want to do/decide MVP?

Those two are the most pertinent at the moment, then I'm going to need suggestions on a name for the entertainment awards.

[Blackjack]

Objections?

I've always found this to be an extremely docile environment without any kind of contentiousness. I'm sure the board would be more than happy to acquiesce and allow you to be awarded with the MVP, sans protest.

You tellin' me you weren't being sarcastic with your initial comment (and thanks to you I can use that word in a sentence :downspin:).

I don't Phila ik voting

Of course I was being serious. If I don't win the MVP there will be hell to pay. That and I won't let you guys in on inside info anymore.

So you no like the award I made you?

[Blackjack]

The Maurice Podoloff Trophy, also known as the NBA's MVP award, is a bad award?

You operate in another stratosphere, Phila_. I ain't got game like that. :worthy:

[Blackjack]

How can you see the Kramer picture and not the ones of the award? Scroll up, my man.

That's weird. I made it the other day and posted it. But I deleted it from my file and it was still showing up on my screen, so I figured everyone could see it -- even that quote you sent me the picture came up. :huh

I guess Pistons < Spurs didn't see my first attempt at a somewhat photoshop. :depressed

I saw it yesterday when you posted it, but I couldn't see it when you asked about it tonight. It was visible at first.

[Blackjack]

I guess it disappeared after I deleted it from my documents. It's just weird that I was still able to see it. Is it visible in my previous posts now back on the other page?

That's what I'm talking about Fabbs. :tu

I know we've got a handful of people here capable of doing that, we just need them to volunteer their services.

Gifs, highlights or whatever other visual media I haven't a clue about, anybody interested or willing?
Captain Picard errr Blackjack,
Have you been able to "make it so"?

[Fabbs]

Couple of the fouls Kobe Boi recieved last night that lead to Ray Allen getting 5 fouls in 21 minutes. I mean we already know the answer as to why but still I'd like to see them.

[Blackjack]

Captain Picard's got his hands full at the moment but hopefully SpursRulez4eVeR or LakerHater will see this and lend a helping hand. I'll send out a distress call and see what I can come up with.
