Profiles GB 2009?

nev · January 31, 2009, 01:20:58 AM

I know there was talk during last years highly succesful profiles GB of making it an annual event - would be the ideal way to reward those tireless profilers and their unceasing inspirition.

Well I have to admit some responsibility for pushing the Annual Profile GB..... so I say a BIG yes for another go this year - but due to work comitments I won't offer to mod it like last time - let somebody else have a go this year - but I'd be happy, if the build goes ahead, for the same rules that JHM and I knocked-together, to be used.

Depending on what the time frame is I might be able to help out in the mod dept. . . maybe I'll even finish the bird I started for lastyear's build!

Not much intrest though

It's only been a few days . . . maybe generate some interest on some of the other boards here, or even over on Arc?

I have the profile and kit lined up ready!

Never finished my profile from the last one.

So I would be interested in having another crack at it.

id be happy to sign up to this one too, most of my current 'whatif' builds are from profiles on the forum

cheers, Joe

I'll be up for it too, got enough to choose from, lol

Mossie · February 05, 2009, 03:13:30 AM

Yeah, I'd be up for it, didn't get around to it last year.

One suggestion, last year there was an outbreak of people asking for specific profiles after the start date simply so they could join in. To me, this kind of broke the spirit of the build as you could just build anything you wanted. I suggest that a rule goes in that a should be of a profile that exists before the start date.

Certainly interested in partaing of this GB.

I agree Simon, I felt at the time that it just wasn't cricket, but I didn't want to rock the boat.

Good to see intrest picking up....

Radish · February 05, 2009, 09:09:04 AM

Yes, but you know what I'm like....I become sidetracked.
I've still got some ideas from last year.
AND I AGREE, profiles MUST be in existence BEFORE the build.

Now I'm NOT wearing my moderators hat, I can freely say: (Rant mode ACTIVE) "That REALLY hacked-me-off, there's thousands of profiles to go at, what the h*ll is wrong with leaving your 'comfort zone' once in a while and building something a wee bit different..... Arrrghhhh

(Rant mode SAFE)

Quite fancy something Scandanavian next time.
