Unitmaker of the Month: May 2006 jury thread

[Goldflash]

Holy moly! Plontius is giving UtahJazz7 a run for his money! Yes, ladies and gentlemen! We could be seeing the upset of the century here!

I doubt Plotinus would be upset

 

[Plotinus]

Yeah, I think I'd learn to live with it. In fact I'm almost tempted to do the unthinkable and vote for myself to gain an edge, but naturally I'd never do anything so ungentlemanly!

 

[Kyriakos]

I agree, and in sympathy i also will vote for Utahjazz, so as to make it easier for you to not be confronted with the collapse of the village totems that are Utahjazz's unit's.

Besides, Stockton was always my favourite nba player

GF: I was talking about Plontius, the newest unit maker on these forums, beating UtahJazz7, one of the oldest (active) unit makers on these forums being the upset of the century....

No *^4, Sherlock.

Well I voted for the Ethiopian also. Sure, there's an element of the "Promising newcomer vote" but also because it's genuinely good and useful to me. Of course, I'll echo that this was a really tough competition, moreso than others have been. Boring to say, but true.

I thought I had had enough of unit making last year (especially when WoT tanked after all my efforts), but I gotta admit I've missed it lately... especially after seeing some of the great units entered into these competitions.

That's great to read and I'm quoting it to remind you of this sentiment

 

[7ronin]

Since we have a tie, why don't we have a run off vote between the Ethiopian and the Aztec.

 

[Red Door]

Well, the competion isn't over until tomorrow. Hopefully, some others will vote.

 

[mrtn]

Well, they're both worthy of it, give it to both it that's the result.

 

[Plotinus]

It's not over yet! Don't jinx it!

Personally, if it is a tie, I'd be quite up for a tie-break vote, if UtahJazz is too. But it ought to be up to Flamand.

 

[Flamand]

I'd be more inclined to have a deathmatch, where the two of you have to make a new unit entirely... But a revote will do...

 

[utahjazz7]

In the spirit of the World Cup, I think a tie is fine.

 

[Wyrmshadow]

3rd again. Hmmmm, my next one is going to be different. Not "Wow, that looks cool" but "Hey, we needed this!"

 

[Red Door]

Death Match! Death Match! Death Match!

 

[Traianus]

Paper, scissors, stone?

 

[WildWeazel]

Deathmatch!

 

[aaglo]

uhhh.. I gave my best shot, and came... fourth

Well done Plotinus & Utahjazz7 on the tie. And cheers to all who participated

 

[7ronin]

The thing about a death match is that if they're making units for the death match, they probably won't be making units for the June contest in which case the contest suffers.

 

[Orthanc]

I think just handing out two trophies is easy enough, no reason to bog them down with finishing this just because of the way the votes came out.

Unless, of course, they want to try a deathmatch unit challenge...

 

[Flamand]

After another exciting battle we have reached our first tie, which poses me a dilemma... Deathmatch would be cool, but 7Ronin is right: it would lead submissions away from the next competition. And two cups is no option either, since I only have one...

So congratulations to the two deserving winners Plotinus and Utahjazz who may call themselves Unit Makers of the Month May 2006! Eternal fame for one month will be their fate, as well as half of the cup...
