Inviting new game thread starters 

Post#1 » by pineappleheadindc » Fri Jan 2, 2015 1:09 am

.

Happy new year, folks.

Would want to drop a note to invite others besides FAH and I to start game threads. Would be nice to see a diversity of individual styles, thoughts, etc. So, whenever FAH's run is over, can we get a number of volunteers to get going on game threads?

Not a requirement, but aspirational -- try to be informative. We have Wizards fans all around the world, so communicate date, time, TV network, etc please. Anything else is up to you - consider it your blank canvas.

Also --- to remind Ji's new username -- please keep to the convention that winning threads allow the threadstarter to do the next game. So if you now you won't be able to do a game thread for the next Wizards game, don't start a particular thread. Let's *assume* a Wizards victory.

OT New Years note: New Year's Eve at Times Square in NYC is amazing. Mid-town was a zoo last night. My family and I attended a party above the crowds in an adjacent building, but just getting to it was like pushing thru a mob. Amazing.

Go Wizards!

I would do it but you guys are so darn quick. Also my posts would only have a few sentences.

Remember, if we win, you've got to get the next game thread up . . . that's MANDATORY!

Tough loss at OKC.

There's a game tonight and still no game thread.

Somebody, please volunteer to make one. Or i'll come back after lunch and throw up one that's heave on Luv-a-Bulls.

You've been warned.

P.S. We WANT different people to do game threads. But please don't volunteer unless you're able to actually do it. Thanks!

J-Ves -- your are on a roll.

Don't forget that tomorrow's game is early, 3:00 p.m. Get a game thread up when you can.

If you haven't been a regular thread starter (e.g., never done it or only done it a time or two), how about you get in there now and lead us to some great victories?
