I agree with Trudy and Steph. Let's keep them as an option, if someone does something amazing, but not feel as if we MUST have them, and don't tie them to the F2F.
Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

F2F 2: Is there anybody here that hasn't slept together?
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!

Ann, that's a ferret.
Fourth Trudy's idea. If someone does something big, give a Class Protector (and I disagree with Lee on tying to F2F -- the public validation is worthwhile). But let's not feel we have to give out awards every year.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think that if the award is going to be a Buffista thing, it should be a Buffista thing. I have no idea how they're chosen now - they just seem to be a thing that happen, and I don't even know who has them.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I also am in support of Lee and Trudy. Let's retire them as a matter of course but if there is something really big and deserving, we, as a board, award it.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Count me as supporting Lee and Trudy in the matter of "retire and reserve" the Class Protector Awards.

If I only had a brain...
Amen on "retire and reserve".

What is even happening?
I'm never at the ceremony, but nodded like a bobble head while I read Lee's post.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Yes and yes and yes, to both Lee's and Trudy's suggestions. Yes and yes and oh, by the way, yes.
Retire and reserve.

Deb, do you say yes? ;)
