How MVP awards granted?
-
Just saw on CP site news that MVP awards will be announced in three days time. Out of curiosity, how the awards are granted? People are auto-selected based on their progress or there is a 'board-of-judges' that choose them?
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is (V).
All of the hamsters are placed in a hat. Needless to say, it is a large hat - there are a lot of hamsters. This is called "feeding the Sorting Hat" In with them is placed 10,292,633 slips of paper, each containing the name of one member. The hamsters then have a "lively discussion" (i.e. fight) over their prefered slips of paper, shredding the losers for use as bedding. When the number of intact slips is reduced to one thousand, they are removed from the hat and examined for traces of sunflower seeds which could indicate bribery. Those that pass this are subjected to NSA vetting and handed over to Bob for review. He reduces the list to about 100 and these are passed back to the Hamsters (once the Sorting Hat has been cleaned properly by Sean - one of the reasons he hates MVPs) for the final decision, which is made during a mammoth booze fueled nightlong game of Hamster Poker. The winners are then announced, and Sean begins his annual ritual of "donning the Mankini" to visit each MVP in person to deliver the certificate. Last year he also included oil and nipple tassles in the outfit, to show his derision...

If the Sorting Hat eats the hamsters at the first round to which hamsters the list passed back on the second? Or they are reproduce that fast?

I think I'm somehow relieved I've never been on the list of winners. :)

We never, ever, ever send information to the NSA. We're in Canada, eh, so we use CSIS. Who then pass it to the NSA.
