Hi all,

Firstly, thanks to all for the support

Next, I just wanted to make a quick comment to all regarding the staff votes you see above and (soon) below.

Although we decided to allow the staff to vote, staff votes are weighted at 0.5. So in other words a staff vote is worth only half the vote of you the public. This emphasises that in this group build it's your votes that are important to us - and also prevents any dodgy staff (tongue firmly in cheek ) from swaying the vote in favour of their sites (just kidding!!)

dodgy staff from swaying the vote



No way! Shucks, I was hoping to build James' Chariot! Doggonneit!

Right now, these three have the resounding lead:

BTR-70........13
Scopedog...10.5
Bv 40............10.5
