$20 dcc on mao

You could give the winner a crappy, tacky trophy and have a party to celebrate the giving out of the 'prestigious' prize.

This thread still stinks of fail.

[Collin Li]

well you could just replace "VCENotes" with student community if you don't want it to look tacky. But who said you'd get it anyway *-) haha

$10 on Mao.

$10 on dcc.

and i didnt say i'd get it, i just said it sounds "tacky"

Being the finance geek, my first reaction is that Mao and dcc have now hedged their outcomes at the end of year 12.

[AppleXY]

Umm. Hedging is by definition reducing (unnecessary) risk while still maintaining healthy profit, or reducing the magnitude of losses. I don't see any profit coming from this bet.

   There could be an award purely to help the deserving recipients with resumes, scholarship applications, etc. People like Mao clearly spend a lot of their time helping, but saying on a resume  "I often helped out on a forum" -2008, wouldn't sound as good as if you helped out with a charity or volunteer fire service or whatever; enwiabe or someone could think of a suitable moniker

dcc and Mao have both locked in either:

i) success in VCE (something like that) or,
ii) $10

yeah, you could have something like "volunteer tutor on an eminent VCE student community"

and you could milk it more by saying something like "for students whose financial circumstances precluded them from access to paid tutors"

that'll sound really good on a resume

hi gg

Bye, we won't miss you?

Also, this thread still stinks of fail.

   even if you think the original idea "stinks of fail", doesn't necessarily mean my idea, or indeed every post, is worthless

[Collin Li]

I have already included on my resume that I am a moderator of VCENotes.com.

I think that is the only thing you could possibly put on your resume. An academic award from the site would not be reputable. It'd be the equivalent of stating your Distinctions from all those Maths and Geography competitions from years 7 through to 11 (I have heaps piled up, worthless really).

[Mao]

I'd rather think a "contributor" award should be given out rather than an academic achievement award. [employers like "contribution" a lot more than "achievement"]

but then that's just the role of moderators. hehe
