Dad Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 First and foremost, let's get a few things out of the way. This is just a pitch. If the majority of the community supports the event, we'll put it into action and begin taking volunteers and selecting roasters.What is a roast?A roast consists of a gathering of persons to "rag" or "roast" (to make fun of) someone else in good sport. Typically the "roastee" volunteers to be the butt of the joke.This is as big of a heads-up as you will get! If you volunteer to be roasted, know what you're signing up for. Roasters will be ruthless (but tasteful within YCM's guidelines). Don't take anything personally and go off crying about it.If the "Roastee" volunteers, how are roasters selected?For the most part, staff will handle roaster selection. Over time, everyone will have a chance to participate ( as a roastee or roaster) so you'll have to be patient. More often than not, the host will be a participating roaster, and so we may select up to three additional roasters to partake.Will there be prizes or rewards?That hasn't been completely delved into as of yet. I think we can of course reward volunteers for putting themselves out there, and we can of course look for prizes for best joke, worst joke, most brutal joke, etc. Because this is just a pitch, prizes won't be discussed right now.What would the time length of the roast be?Two to three days at the most. This will give roasters the chance to build their jokes and roastees to reply in kind. If the event is successful, we will try to hold it annually around early to mid November every year.What are the rules for the roast?Only roasters may roast the roastee. Members can comment on jokes, but are not allowed to roast anyone. The roastee may get in a joke if they choose but it's more typical for the volunteer to take the jokes and laugh at them than to joke back.How will you roast the volunteer?We will ask the roastee to submit at least one image of themselves (if they're comfortable). Otherwise roasting will focus on how the roastees are known.What if no one volunteers?Then I will.Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad Posted November 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 I volunteer. Should be fun to see what people say. We're not taking volunteers right away. This is just a pitch to see if the community can get behind the idea of an annual roast for YCM. Good of you to volunteer tho. I'll keep that in mind.

Nathanael D. Striker Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 I'd sign up as tribute. Though, I think it'd be a couple years too late for me. XD But yeah, this could be worth a trial run for consideration to the event calendar. Seems to bring the unexpected into the equation quite well. Now I hope this is better than the Senior roast my Fraternity had... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yui Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 I voiced full support in the mod forum and will voice it again here. Probably not gonna be a roaster or roastee but I wanna see this happen :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad Posted November 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 I'd like to give this thread at least a day or so to kind of mature, but I'm glad to see some feedback. Even if you do disagree with the event, please make your voice heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatnissGod Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Seems like a fun idea for the calendar. If this becomes an annual thing, would we expect a repeated date or just around the same time frame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this becomes an annual thing, would we expect a repeated date or just around the same time frameIn my head, I'd like to aim for the week of thanksgiving. I'll talk more details with the team and see if we can coordinate a set annual day if this works out. speedroid is so going to win best roaster Also, this sounds hilarious, smash'd threads on dgz were incredibleGlad you're interested. If Speed wins I'll make you a prophet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maeriberii Haan Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 I like the idea, things like this are what brings communities closer. I'd volunteer as a roastee, but is personal image mandatory for it? I'm a bit paranoiac about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will ask the roastee to submit at least one image of themselves (if they're comfortable). Otherwise roasting will focus on how the roastees are known. I believe that means it isn't mandatory if you aren't comfortable with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShimoHkun1 Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 Not sure if I’m going to participate directly but I think this is a cool idea. Should be fun to watch people on this site tear the sheet out of each other. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaotic Angel Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 No. Members of YCM get to roast each other with crude jokes and harsh words. Don't take my word for it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
