The Town of Odyssey

Have you ever wanted to serve as a mayor for this fine town? Well, the time has come to make that a reality. Once again, we are giving one lucky person the opportunity to be mayor for a week. As mayor, your job is to plan and run 1 event of your choosing for the week of May 22nd-28th.

In order to be considered for this opportunity, you must answer the following writing prompt by PMing it to me by 11 PM CST, on Friday, May 20th.

Why do you want to be Mayor for a Week?

Briefly describe the event you will run. (Event type, process, timeline.)

Once all the submissions are in, they will be voted on by the admin team. The winner will be announced at some point on Saturday evening. I look forward to seeing what everyone comes up with. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

I don't have to give up my desk for this incoming mayor, do I?

Nope. I'm taking a paid vacation that week, so they can use mine.

Oh, in that case, this is all fine.

....Wait, paid vacation? Who approved that?

*examines paperwork*

Oh, it was me. I am a generous genius.

Can't wait to meet the Mayor for a Week! I hope those awesome plans are rolling in.

So far, I've not seen any plans. I'm taking that vacation either way though.

No problem, Bren. Take that vacation. I'm sure that super nice cushy office chair you just bought for your office will still be there when you return... And if it's gone, I saw @bookworm eyeing it the other day. Very suspicious.

Since we are still waiting on entries, I have decided to extend the deadline another week. All entries must now be in by 11 PM CST, on Friday, May 27th, with the term to happen the following week. I woulld also like to take this time to point out that your event doesn't have to span the whole week. If you have a small idea for a few days, you can do that. Then just enjoy the shiny purple name for the rest of the week.

If no one wants to take on the job right now that's okay; better than people applying and not being serious about it.

*waits for @EK and @The Top Crusader to take this as an open invitation*

I waited until after the deadline to say that for a reason.

You are truly wise, bookworm. Well done.

Correct timing is for BUMS, I’ll do it NOW!
