Paige's recent ressurgence put another thought into my head -- how do you choose the folks to judge ?
Zakk was an obvious choice due to the sheer number of quality cabinets he put out. Same with Lew.
But what about when you have people with experience who see things differently ... compare, say, Paige (with his sometimes overly-practical approach) to Xouchie, or to Pixel, or to Knievel. I'm pretty sure that none of those folks would consider judging others.
It takes us back to the problems with the original HoF.

Why not make Chad the judge? He actually judged arcade cabinets professionally for a few years when he was younger.

I would think it's up to the community to nominate judges. Frankly the most serious aspect of this should probably be judge selection.
We can take a fairly populist approach, open a forum where everybody can nominate who they think judges should be. Once time is up on that everyone nominated has to confirm acceptance of nomination. From there open a voting thread with all the confirmed nominees names. Put a time limit on it and at the end the 5 or X with the most votes are the panel. Every year a new panel gets voted. The nominee with the most votes is the Chair for that year.
Works a lot better than me just pointing at people but is slower.

I like OND's cab too, it's cool and orange and curvy and immaculately built, but there is a lot out there that is just as ground breaking as far as builds are concerned. I think that he has relied heavily on DaOld Man's plugins and previous work for his rotation, I think that while his button mod is pretty fantastic it was been improved upon since by Secret Squirrel and FrancoB's are completly off the chain. So yeah him done good but there is plenty of great stuff worth recognizing.
Unless you were talking about the Urkelcade too, in which case I have no argument.

Heh heh, a few things, Pixelhuggers cabinet would have been the cabinet in question, my cab is red, I have never used DaOLD Mans plugins or any other previous work for my rotation design, it's quite differrent stepper motor technology. That said I probably will be looking at some of the stuff he's done in the future. Just keeping it accurate bro, other wise all good. :cheers:

The fact I thought of yours just shows how much I like it... and that I'm color blind. I'll ask my automations question over on your thread after I reread it so I don't embarrass myself further ;D
