Hello, and welcome to the first ever "Most Likely To..." mini-game on DPC. This will be a reverse of the usual "Most Likely To..." things that you see in yearbooks and what not, as you won't be taking people and making up things for them. What is going to happen is that I'll be listing 15 "Most Likely To..." subjects for you, DPCers, to nominate people for.
Now, there are couple of important rules that you must follow here to make it easier for everyone:
1. DO NOT nominate people as a response to this post. ANY nominations made in this thread will NOT count, and the person posting said nominations will no longer be recognized for further nominations.
2. DO NOT make lengthy quote responses on this thread. Keep your responses short, and to the point *PLEASE*. I also urge you not to respond if you don't have anything constructive to say.
3. You are allowed to make as many nominations as you like, but you must contact me,  artyste, through PM to make the nominations. Names will go up on a spreadsheet, counted by number of times each name has been given for each category. The person or persons who get the most nominations at the end of the game will be announced as the people "Most Likely To..." for that category. You may also nominate a person for multiple categories.
As this is the first mini-game of its type, I have come up with the first 15 categories myself. I've done my best to make them as open-ended as possible, and as fun as possible, while keeping them within the realm of photography, and trying to stay away from categories that would hurt someone's feelings if they were chosen for it. To that end, please remember that this is simply a fun exercise. If you feel that you would *not* like to be nominated or don't wish to participate, send me a PM and I will put your name on a no-play list.
At the end, if this proves to be successful, we will run another one, but this time I will open the floor to user-suggested categories to make it more interactive. Thank you everyone for reading, and let's have a little bit of fun here! Lets begin:
Categories:
A. Most Likely to end up Selling Their Equipment to Join the Peace Corps
B. Most Likely to end up Selling Their Equipment to Support a Different Habit/Hobby
C. Most Likely to Start Photographing for Vanity Fair

Have fun everyone.. nominate as many people as you can.. spread the word, and remember, DON'T nominate people in this thread.. send ME a Private Message with your nominees.
