NG16 - Information and a chance for you to influence the location

[2fnloud]

Just a little, tiny update... The city that's currently in the lead has a huge added benefit. There's a group in that area that wants to partner with us for the road course. HUGE factor in the decision-making. Vote, vote, vote!!! Actually, so far everything I've tried to put together in that city is working out. It might just be meant to be... But I'm not telling you which city it is yet.

If I didn't know any better, I would say you LOVE doing that so good to read. BTW voted

Ummmmm

The City that is in the lead on this thread may or may not be in the lead when she shared that.

Just wanted to voice this now so it doesn't sound like sour grapes because we don't know who won yet. I thought the number of votes was what mattered, not how many voters. I admit it keeps the event from being bought but if raising money is the goal, the 2 concepts are conflicting.

Raising money is dependant on the number of peeps that are commiting, not the number of wishes they cast. Remember there is a refund clause negating the funds possible.

Jackpot. Here's the thing... The number of votes influences what city we end up in. But for people who only want to place one vote, it's important that they realize that their vote makes a difference. If someone casts a vote, they're committing to the event and to attending the event if their city wins. They'll end up spending more money later. We're more concerned with having enough people. Having 5 people that each commit to 4 votes is great for seed money, but we still need enough people in attendance to guarantee we can pay the bills when the event takes place. More people means more money later on, and the ability to pay those bills. I sure hope that makes sense.... It's really hard to put into words tonight. And there is always the chance that we'll be refunding a lot of the money we collect. For those who want to place more votes, it works for them too - it's a greater investment toward their registration. But some people can't do that, and it's important that they make whatever commitment they can. At this time, if no one backs out, we'll do fine with seed money. They will, though, so we'll have to see how it goes. I believe the majority are committing regardless of where the event is held. Especially given the number of people that voted multiple times, for multiple cities.

And Steve... I have no idea what you're talking about. It's almost like you're implying that I would take pleasure in tormenting all of you. Like I'd want revenge for something... or maybe I just have a sick sense of humor. I can't believe anyone would think such a thing of me.

The number of votes decides the location, the number of people decide if there is going to be an NG at all.
So if enough people vote, there will be an NG and then the amount of votes decide the city it's held in

Steve, don't listen to a WORD she types. You are NOT alone in your thoughts!!

[TWINTRBO]

I'm not going to lie, thats pretty clever! I hope I helped there to be an event, I feel I'm mostly responsible for the last minute activity on the east coast

I would never call it revenge. Also if my wife votes, is that counts are two people?
