Been doing some thinking lately, and since Pak had been giving out Pig of the Month Awards for quite sometimes now. I like to spice it up a little bit. I decided that we will have a Pig of the Quarter Award. which the nominating will take place at Feb. May. August. November, and the voting will take place the following month. you need to meet the following to be elligible for being nominated
1. Of course must be a fellow oinker
2. You must have models on display either in rivet review or relative forums (this is a modeling site after all, and talk is cheap)
That's all you need that makes you elligible. I as the sponsor of the award will donate a kit every quarter for the award. the first quarterly prize will be a
TAMIYA M26 PERSHING
So tell me what you think, and start nominating.
Oink Bloody Oink!

Lord Lens:
Dave---this is a great idea---- and an extremely generous offer on your part.
As we all know, there are some first rate modelers in the Sty specializing from figs, to armor, to air, (don't know if we have any ship dudes though (lol). These folks put out top notch work.
Just a great idea!
ps: One thing though---do the winners have to come to HK to pick up the kit???? #:-) #:-)

Arh Lord Lens Jr,
Forgot to mention, since I am donating the kit, if you guys don't mind could you bear the shipping, I will pay for surface shipping if you don't mind slow. but if you like them shipped by air, you need to send me like 10 bucks for helping the shipping cost. Thanks.
Now let's nominate.
I would like to Nominate Lord WeWillHold, and Lord Cliff to be our first pig of the quarter.

Lord Tomcat,
This will be great, I think it makes the prize more precious with the PE, god this is no mini contribution, they are almost as expensive as the kit itself. Thanks a lot.

Sounds good - but I'd recommend considering all the Piggies out there - and not just a couple who first come to mind. Shouldn't look like a "popularity contest". Many piggies have displayed there work here on site, lots to choose from...

This goes without saying. As Dave specified "
1. Of course must be a fellow oinker
2. You must have models on display either in rivet review or relative forums (this is a modeling site after all, and talk is cheap)

Oink!
What's the deal here. Think happy thoughts people. The reason I am doing this is three folds:
1. I am blessed that I am a friend of almost every single one of the pigs and member of Armorama. You people all hold a very special place in my heart for me, Cliff, Pak, Jackhammer (May god bless him), Jeepney, Octupus, WWH, Wildcat, Sel, Warlock, Stug, Tomcat, Tanks46, MJ, Obe (May lord perserve his cash crops and livestocks), Airwarrior, etc, etc. I like to do something for them. Let's face it, most of the people in the sty is of a rather low profile all over in the site, they don't talk much, they don't post much, most time just spending in the chat, and post one odd thing here and there. They need to be recongnized for what they did, no matter how much or how little to improve our community, a small one, the sty, a big one, the Armorama website.
2. I have the fortune live and work in a place that kits are cheap for me, I like to share my good fortune, I look at as a good karma thing for me. (pardon me for being selfish)
3. I am a member of local Lion's club chapter, our club has its official quarterly member awards, but also an old gentleman donates a little amount of cash every 3 month to award to the member of his choice/or by vote of the committee. Basicly the old gentleman has the say for whom to award, let's face it he is the donor, and he likes to do something nice. I don't want to just give away the kit by my choice to my favourite person, let's face it, if I do that, I prolly gave all the kits to myself, as the last time I checked, I am still my most favourite person. That's why I suggested a vote system so this will be fair.
All these said, I see your points, that's why I made up the 2 rules.
1st, need to be a registered pig for obvious reason.
2nd, need to have a model on display in one of the forums, this is pretty easy to judge, as there is no way you can get out of lying about it. 90 some witness
.
Another reason for the second rule is to encourage more builds of the model, well, it's simple, if you like to win the quarterly piggie award, build a model and show us. so we can generate more traffic for the armorama site.
All these said, let's get back to the nominating if you want. and stop talking about the feasibility and morality of this award, because if I find my good will cause problems, it's just a snap decision for me to withdraw it. LOL.
Happy thoughts, pigs. And let's have some fun, and do some modeling.
Oh P.S. Every vote is a popularity contest, look at me, I am an UOM, I am not a contributor, nor an editor, I donated a little cash for the site improvement, and did a couple guys favour here and there, built a little average models, and I got it. I still can't believe it though. LOL....

Dave - I agree with you. I only make comments in the concern of the Site in general as a core member and Moderator. I usually don't comment at all, but when I do, it is in the greater interest of the site.
I think your intent is well-founded and admirable. I, however, do not appreciate a jab back for voicing a concern - being a member of the DSB and a member of this Site. I will continue to voice my concerns when I feel it appropriate to do so.
I wish success in this endeavor, but will not participate, since my concerns are against the grain.

Point taken Gunnie, but I have faith in the Sty members being able to judge based on the criteria Dave laid out in the original post. That's where I was coming from in my reply.
So---we can agree to disagree

Gunnie, I think you need to explain yourself and your problem with this a little better. Because I am pissed slam off, and I hope to God I'm over reacting.
I don't see anybody complaining about the UOM awards. You aren't in that thread cautioning people to consider everybody. You've won that one, is it because you don't want to bite the hand the feeds you? Or do you think that as Pigs we aren't capable of rational thought on our own?
How is it that as soon as my name is mentioned you have a problem? Why does that mean somebody hasn't considered all the piggies? Since I'm the only one that has been nominated so far it has to be me that you have the problem with. It can't be the contest in general since this is nearly identical to the UOM. If I shouldn't be nominated let's hear your reason so I can be struck from the list.

I hate to double post, but I didn't want this to get lost in my rant above.
