I think the reason for the naming of the thread being the prize is simply because it is a thread for the whole forum and it gives others a chance to take part in naming it.
You do a brilliant job naming the threads and starting them off with a super bang. I'd hope you would continue to start them off with a bang.
I just think that it would be fun for everyone to get a turn at naming the thread. I don't really see this change as an afront to your mad skeelz tj. I see it as a way for all of us to get a little more involved and to inspire more participation. People tend to get more out of things if they have a part in it.

..tankee
I'm still not sure which I would pick however...tho tawni is looking more and more likely...could u imagine the implications of Lorne @ Tawni? A little like hanging with Wes' father for the day lol. Only probably a little less flirty and more 80's hair band references hehe.

Ya gotta admit,for a dull,mean geezer, Wes' dad was kind of a hunk. (Not as cute as Jacob ,Vincent's Dad-but mighty close. ) Yikes! Can you imagine Roy Dotrice as a Season 6 member of the Fang Gang? He could start out as a foe and wind up wanting to play father figure to them all . (which is FAR worse....) ("Listen here,my boy..." "I am NOT your soddin' boy! Your son is dead . He was dead to you long before he drew his last breath. Even if we could get him back here,I doubt he'd have any more use for your paternal wisdom than we do. Go play with your little wind-up men and pray that the Blue Fairy there doesn't turn any of *them* into real boys!")

That would be an extremely interesting development.
Course he'd have to be assigned to them.
No way would he work with Angel and Spike willingly.
His doppelganger's reactions were completely true to form.

He'd hate the whole thing but it'd bring the cyborg arc back. Doppleganger vs. real article..... Lots of references to previous androids and cyborg demons. Plus Mr. Whyndam-Price taking over the guilt concession for a season. Joss could make that work.

Here's another thought. Maybe we could have a system where the next location gets picked by someone new? Maybe by some random selection of a poster or something.
Not sure of exactly how, just throwing it out there.
The person of the hour could then choose what the next location could be. Tj could then open the thread as usual.
I don't know if this would work on the Fraud necessarily. At least here we know everyone is cool and would pick somewhere interesting.

Even if it's as dull as Carpio, North Dakota, (which is three houses, an elevator and unincorporated farmland) it's more interesting because we're there. ;D

*blink* *blink* TJ is a mean ol' geezer? And a control freak? Where was I? Damn, I always miss the good stuff. Seriously, I've always been of the impression that anyone could suggest a location. I'd say that at least half the places we've been have been suggestions that people made at one time or another. The rest of the time TJ has picked the spot because... well, he's good at it and no one else was jumping in. As for it being "Lorne's" I like the idea of retaining that. Lorne is, after all, the only character in the 'verse besides Willy who has owned a bar, and the only one who owned a karaoke bar. Caritas was the inspiration for the very first location after the initial Bash, and... well, I guess I'm just a sucker for tradition and continuity. I suppose that if anyone else wants to start the next iteration with a new theme that would be fine, but just for myself I know that I absolutely could not bring myself to create the party thread at TV.com until TJ came by to do it. It just didn't feel right. But, as has been said before, anyplace we all gather, there will be home. Anyway, my vote is for Washington. Either the state (Twin Peaks country) or the city (my stomping grounds).

I think that was directed at Wesley's Dad not tj hehe.
Oh and I think we should definately keep it "lorne's of _____." Cause umm seriously Lorne is the Karaoke GOD!!! course, I guess if we want a place that has nothing to do with the lounge or Karaoke motif then certainly someone can create other character related threads that could go in the same section. Maybe Wes' goes to all these libraries around the world, or Illyria goes dimension hopping... that would actually be cool. Illyria goes to....(the nuthin but shrimp dimension) hehe
I see no reason this can't be fun as hell to expand on. I guess we don't want a zillion main threads...but I dont' see a problem with having one for each character if we want. It's ITL's forum we can do what he wants to!

Either the state (Twin Peaks country) or the city (my stomping grounds). I did suggest a location for the one that is going on now. I recommended Rehoboth Beach in Delaware near the end of the previous Lorne's and tj shot it down, like that saying lets do it "When it warms up". It would have been fun to be at a Beach during Memorial Day Weekend, and the weather last weekend at Rehoboth was in the 80-90's all weekend. It wouldn't be time to goto Rehoboth right now, its cool and rainy there now. I did recommend to tj we go to places where all the Tomer's lived and he followed that by doing Minneapolis.

It wasn't "shot down" Kev. Phoe wanted us to go to Australia again and we'd just done an American place. And once there, we're not in the right Australian city so can you begin to see how I simply can't win, here?
It's June. I'm certain there's a nice beach we can go to this summer.
It's not as if a suggestion isn't snapped up right away that you're being ignored, you know. Of course there's a Lorne's in Rehoboth Beach. There is a Lorne's everywhere. We haven't gotten to anywhere near close to all of them.
This is the direction we're going in? An idea doesn't take off right away so it's a personal slight? It's been "shot down"?
That's ... not a great direction to be moving in.
imo.
