WPL4 - Team Motley Crew Official Thread

Like I said - I am slow!

Good for Brian - I hope he lets us know when the big event happens!

Dyson's are expensive! I know they are awesome vacs tho. We just have other things to pay for right now, like doggie chemo. That's a higher priority as far as I am concerned.

Oh and I see that you are on IM and I will bug you later if you are still on. I have to run and see if I can create a kitchenware pic now.

04/21/2007 09:35:45 PM · #478

I'll be here...just toot

04/22/2007 08:15:09 PM · #479

I asked one person to join. If she wants to, she will post here.

BTW - I am excited about my kitchen shot. I was not going to do it, but something kind of worked out and I like it!

Hi all, Jack here, thought I would drop in and see if you need someone else for the team??

Colorcarnival, thank you so much for the invitation. I would love to join the Motley Crew if everyone will have me.

I haven't figured out the DPC voters formula yet, haven't even broke a 6, but I will submit to challenges and do my best.

Feel free to ask me any questions and don't worry if you choose not to accept me. No hard feelings.

04/22/2007 09:49:47 PM · #482

Motley Crew - I have sent IM's because I never created the email list lol

We have two outstanding people here who would like to join the team. I think they would make great additions.

What ya think?

Jack and Julie - you got my vote! I'd just like to hear from everyone else first. :D

04/22/2007 10:01:54 PM · #483

Jack & Julie are welcome by me! ;)

OK - define the universe. Give 3 examples. Illustrations count as extra credit. Even if you don't take this quiz - I'll have you as a team mate!

The universe is infinite, in distance, could be flat like the earth, who really knows?. :-) It encompasses every physical thing. It has more stars than I have fingers.

Your such a teacher! (the essay has to be 3 pages, double line and indented!) LOL

In for thirds, not too sure about how it will score...

I'm so glad that you'll take me anyway. Thanks.

Allow me to take a stab at it for you...

The Universe....

A place filled with infinite photo opportunities, a place where even average photographers get a great shot here and there, a place where we can share our experiences and lives and try to share a little beauty in our small dust speck of a world, the one we call planet Earth. Okay, so it's a bit sappy, LOL. So shoot me!!

04/23/2007 02:18:50 AM · #490

Just found this on the web...neat image but they might be a bit miffed if used, lol.

Just thought I'd share....

I PM'd

Photointerest and

Baco99 with the following message: "Are you planning on participating in the Next WPL or DPL in 2008?" I will also email them tonight. People here do not just get voted off the team (island?). The last time I suggested a swap, several members threatened to quit, themselves. So I am trying to be as fair as possible. I suggest if I don't get a response from them by this Friday, April 23, 2007, then we can discuss everyones "Vote to go back to the mainland"

The next DPL doesn't start till 2008. Till then we CAN *greatly* improve our averages (digital-workouts, band-practices) Along with some good Rockin times and sharing riffs-n-pics.

No one is required to take photos every week, I took a short break recently. I was in Columbus one weekend (vacation), and went to Uniontown PA this past weekend with my wife to visit her mother, who had femur surgery and a bad reaction to morphine(she's better now).

But I will start back by entering this TUE again. During WPL/DPL I would hope that ALL team members can contribute to at least one of the three challenges. Anything is greater then a Zero.
Asimchoudhri has a vote or an alternative, too. But he vould probably be out voted (majority rules). Soon, we may officially welcome new team members.

Scroll thru the comments most recently posted in this thread.

Louellen has already told me she is not participating.

You have to ask Deb what Brian said. She has already been in contact with him.

DPL starts signup starts around May 1, 2007. The 2008 date you are referring to was in an April Fool's day joke posted by Langdon.

Could you explain this? I do not understand what you are saying.

Counting heads in the forum; Majority, dsterner, tlemetry, colorcarnival, justamistere = 4 votes "for" the newcomers. vs Asimchoudhri's one vote.

The team captain should be notified directly to make things official. I don't believe in any "I thought"/"he said"/"she said", 3rd party stuff can, sometimes, be missleading. Assumptions are also, not always valid.

I thought the WPL4 playoffs last the rest of the year? Sometimes if things are on the main page for a short time I miss it like a ticker tape.

Well i do know for a fact that Louellen does not want to be on but since you want direct confirmation, I will try and see if I can reach her. She has actually been sick and not online as much.

My concern is that this has to move pretty quick since registration starts next week.

Does Asim have any other people he'd like to see on board? I'm not opposed to other options but again, we just have to move.

ALSO - you guys need to decide if you want to replace me for this round. I sent you an email so not sure if you got it. I am suspended from participating in challenges until about May 24. And I do not know how long the tourney will run.

i don't have anyone else in mind, and i'll support any decision that the majority makes.

It took me a long time to hear from Brian, but when he did respond - he was very precise in that he would not have the time given the baby on the way and all the prep work he is doing.

Finally that GD yearbook has been put to bed and shipped off to the printer! I learned some neat processing tricks from being here on DPC so the yearbook will be even better.

With that said, I hope to be in a lot more challenges and maybe get caught up on the 30 day portrait side challenge...before it's over.

I would like to see Michelle stay on - I have come to value all of us as a team.

Photointerest has emailed me that she does not want to participate in WPL/DPL. I think

Baco99 will also respond soon.

Colorcarnival, the only way to redeem yourself is to get a ribbon or come in the top 10. You are welcome to continue with the Team Motley Crew. If anyone on the team has any objections state it here in this forum. More then likely

jackal9 and

WriteHeart will become new team members.

EDITED: Baco99 just verified that he's too busy with other things. So please welcome Jackal and WriteHeart as new members of the Team Motley Crew! You two have the mike now, please tell us something about yourselves.

Could someone please put a link here for Real information about the start of the new WPL5/DPL5? Round Two, we come out Rockin-n-Rollin, an shoot'n digital-fps.

Yay! Im glad to hear we have our new members.
Welcome to the Motleys!

I think Michelle's performance last season proves she is a value to this team and Im very glad she will be staying with us! Hurray!

Sorry, John, I meant to email you but got to caught up and forgot all about it.

Jackal9 and Writeheart, I will be PMing you to get you up to speed on what we do. Any questions, feel free to ask.
Also, we use Yahoo chat to conference in the evenings, mostly on rollover nights so if you don't have it, might wanna get it.
Look forward to getting to know you both!
Welcome aboard!
