@BenjaminF Guess some want the BOTY to still happen.
I had some tiny hopes for a first build participant, until i saw this green oni. That build is awesome!
I’m still thinking about creating a Build thread for my MTB that i have started building and upgrading since 2019. (unrelated to BOTY)
I don’t even really have a build that qualifies - I just want to see what other people have got
My build thread for my MTB has been hilariously under developed, and I’ve mostly just been spending time filming and doing Youtube rather than writing long form build stuff on here
That being said, I could “finish” it, finish the thread, and make it nom worthy, but idk if I feel like it lol
idk why we wouldnt want it to happen? Arent we on here to have fun? I think boty is fun.
Exactly. I can’t see how it can be a bad thing.
I really like seeing good builds selected in one place. A ton of inspiration one can get from looking at those.
Hell yeah, this too
Yeah it’s a good summary at the end of the year. Also it makes you feel nice if someone nominates your board lol
As far as prizes go, it appears that nowind has everything he needs.
I think he deserves to win the overall BOTY
But what about more categories? More details and more good feels for more people
If there are no prizes then I suppose we could have more than just 3 categories
We should wait until the year closes to start nominations, or it becomes unfair.
It needs to be a date cutoff of “this build & thread is complete”
No sneaking in days after or anything like that
“complete” as in there are no major component changes I would say
We should give out plastic participation trophies to anyone that made a build thread!
Wait, on second thought…
I think prizes are a good idea. Even if it’s just one small one, and it’s hotly contested.
This is the precise reason we should wait until Jan 1 to discuss this at all.
The nomination does not yield benefits. Early voting would.
Nomination could, because if you see a build get nominated and a reason why, you can just include that on your December build, except better.
Easier said than done, and fair play if so. You can steal ideas from others all year; I don’t see this as an issue. Not like people are waiting last second to submit their build threads of secret boards
Brent is waiting to blow my tits clean off. And that’s just one person who’s disclosed secret plans publicly.
Can I please watch from the corner of the room?
