I think he indicated in the crapmame thread that he had an opinion, but was sitting on it for awhile.

Generic Eric:
I would like to hold this post for an example of the submission form I referred to earlier.
--- Quote ---In a million words or less, explain your inspiration and your project. Tell us how long you have worked on this. If it was a Father and Son project, let us know. If you are restoring your favorite game from the local roller skating rink, let us know.
1) Declare your style
• Upright
• Mini
• Bartop
• Cocktail
• Fightstick
• Driving
• Custom
2) You will be reviewed in the following categories. Be sure to provide details highlighting each of the following aspects of your project:
• Art
• Audio
• Build Quality
• Lighting
• Paint job
• Theme composition (how control panel, front-end, marquee, side-art tie together)
• Wiring
*The following special categories are available for submissions.
• Automation
• Contribution to the Forum (kinda like a lifetime achievement type deal)
• Hack or Mod
• Planning documents
• Restoration
• Utility (code)
If you have access to a camera or video camera during your build, take as many pictures or videos as possible. If you are using plans, link to the source. If you are using original plans, please share them.

I would also like to hold this post for an explanation of why I thinks this is a good idea, and how I have come to realize that I may have a different idea then Le Chuck and the others.
In short, my idea is more of a standardization to how the project announcements are made in order to facilitate something like an awards review later on.

I agree he's a good guy and I would hope no one thinks if they are nominated for something like this that there's any requirement to accept it. He was nominated, I assume, for the reasons you stated. But if he would not want to do it, I'm sure everyone would respect that 100%.
And Generic Eric, Saint's note was for CrapMAME II, which came off as negative. I hope everyone understands that this is more of a positive critiquing of member's works - not another excuse to rip people's work apart.

I concur. I have been reading the last few days and saw a string of events that I tied together. The reddit thread, then the resurrection of the Crapmame II thread, and then this thread. I see this thread as an opportunity for us, as active members to raise the bar, and lift others up, instead of tearing them down.
Le Chuck:
:blah: I'm writing discertations here. My apologies.
I will in the next 48 hours produce a review announce using the aforementioned recommendations and some of my own secret sauce. I will post to a separate thread with a disclaimer and then link to here natch. From there we can determine if that format works, how critics could/should look to be helpful, whether this will be an awards type thing or an open submition please help me type thing, and whether or not we should even be pursuing this.
As for Saint, I'll ask openly: Saint, whatchya think? We're not trying to go off the deepend, just work on something that could be of benefit later down the road to the hobby. Is this in the spirit of the BYOAC and do you mind this kind of thing going in the BYOAC?
How do you feel about a child board for this so we can explore further without cluttering stuff up? Thanks - Steve.
