Ok, been working on a new program since it's either that or lay in bed and watch game shows. this one, i'm going to need a little help with from anyone interested. here's a little history and the premise.

I was looking for a way to thank Buz. he's probably one of the nicest guys on lush. he reads stories, gives great comments, offers advice and help, he' a genuinely lovely person to work with, and really, i can't say enough good things about him. while i've been sick he's been sending me daily PMs of encouragement, something that really has made a difference in my life, so i thought, he needs to have a 'nicest guy on lush award'. i wanted to call it The Buz. we're not, for reasons that make a lot of sense, but still, in my head, it's gonna be called The Buz. lol

so, here's how it works. it's a little like the mod of the month, only there's no cash prize. sorry, but that's just not doable. there WILL be a unique badge, and i'll be doing a write up of the person chosen and people can add to that if they'd like.

right now, the project name is "the intangibles award". basically, it's not based on one thing, but i'll be picking (and it's more likely going to be weekly, or bi weekly then it is monthly) someone based on a variety of things. what they add to the site, be it inspirational, generous, helpful, funny, thoughtful, etc. i just thought it would be a nice way to give back to a lot of people who make lush what it is - there's a lot of you out there.

just so you know, it's not going to be mods, btw. we have our own thing. that's not what this is all about. hopefully, this will be taken in the spirit that it's meant to be.

now... i need a little help from all of you. first, i need a good badge name. i thought about Spirit, but that's too close to my user name, and this is not all about me, so i tossed that. Tangerine sounds a bit like Intangible, but might be a bit too.... fruity. so please, post or PM suggestions and i'll give credit to whoever comes up with the best name.

secondly, i have a list of people i think deserve it, and it's pretty solid, but eventually, i'll run out of names and while i keep an eye on things, i do miss stuff. also, i'm trying to avoid favoritism. so... if you think someone deserves this, PM me with their user name and a short write up of what they bring to Lush so i can put them on my radar. i don't want someone slipping through the cracks simply because i don't run in the same circle. i don't do chat rooms, for instance, and there are probably some great people who make those a positive experience.

this will probably kick off sometime this week or this coming weekend - i need to get Gav off his lazy ass to create a new badge, after all. i swear to god, the man does nothing around here but eat and fuck. *sighs*

hopefully, this will be fun - i know i'm looking forward to it.

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

btw, this is not going to be based on things we already put out badges for. it's not for most EPs, or stories, or views, or stuff like that. in fact, you don't even need to be a writer to win it. wanted to make that clear. smile

Interesting idea, Miss Sprite. smile

How about an 'Altruist' badge?

How about Benevolent?

You are talking about a kindly person to give this award to and that is the very definition of the word so maybe? I'll come up with other ideas no doubt.

Maybe just an 'Awesome' badge?

But a different colour so it stands out. Super special badge. smile

Xenia is the Ancient Greek concept of hospitality. You could call it the Xenia award? (Just throwing ideas out there, lol)

Kindness, friendliness and generosity are all synonyms for hospitality so this could be another idea.

lol - i love the idea, but i do have to say, first thing i thought of was Xenia, Warrior Princess. smile keep 'em coming, got several days before i need to settle on something, tho i think we're going to keep Liz's suggestion of a unique color. i quite like the idea of it standing out a bit. :)

One of my favorite (and a well known) quotes is "My religion is simple. My religion is kindness." - Dalai Lama.

So you could call it the Dalai Award for people who show great amounts of kindness and generosity towards others here on the site.

Sorry for all the ideas....I like the idea of a Kindness award so I have a lot of ideas ?

Oh! You could do something like the Agatha Award. (Or another name that has the same meaning) Agatha is a name that means "good-hearted." That might be something too smile

Hey, Xenia was beautiful and pretty kickass so it might work for all the beautiful, awesome people on the site, no? Lol

you could just use a synonym for awesome too. Like, marvelous or wondrous.

I think this is absolutely awesome smile A lovely idea and I can't wait to get mine I am on the list, right? I sent you those nude pics you asked for

I think an awesome award is simple but fitting.

I will ponder on this, though, we got time cause Gav, as you say, has been slacking wanking a lot lately. Badges just don't seem to be high in his list of priorities.

Really sweet idea, Rachel

I like it, and the alliteration works too - Marvelous Member. Tried to come up with an "L" one too (for Lush) but not thinking of a lot of positive L words. Lovely Lushie was about the best I could do.

I think this is a great idea for a badge. And I like Frabjous! Callooh! Callay!

Since it is kind of a whimsical award, perhaps it doesn't need to be the same every time. You could change the name every time! Or ask the winner what they'd like to call it. The winner gets to name the badge!

That probably makes way too much work for Gav, a new badge to design every month. But I love the idea of a sort of randomly named badge showing up for people who are good citizens of the Lush community.

*nods* Gav will kill me - he's already tried several times, but i think he might put extra effort into it if i did that to him smile

lol - not even going there. i'm already putting up the walls for when i pick 'the wrong person' or i don't pick 'the right person'. i mean, my hate mail folder is already taking up an entire server all by it's self.

I like Frabjous! Makes me think of Alice in Wonderland though, lol. But it works. Ties into the unique nature of the award, as is each person who would receive it.

Love some of these ideas!

I thought maybe SuperLushious or SuperLush could work. It could apply to anything that makes them an exceptional Lush member.

Maybe, (depending on how many words) the "Above and Beyond" award? or the "Overtime" award? Represents and recognizes how much effort they put forth for the site and the people of lush.
