Author Topic: UCA Trophies are ready to ship! (Read 5251 times)

UCA · « **on:** May 16, 2013, 11:29:25 pm »

The plaques for the 2011 and 2012 UCA winners are finally ready to ship. We've heard from many users that the plaques aren't important, but it was important to us that each winner have something to commemorate their achievement. Two users have donated their time and resources to make these happen and others have pledge funds to help defray costs so a special thanks to all of those who helped make this happen.

The pic is terrible but I can assure you the plaques are outstanding. Sure, they're home made. They're not perfect. They have some character...just like our builds, and that is what helps make this hobby so much fun. They will be shipped out in the first part of next week and as the winners receive theirs it would be great to get a pic of the winner with the plaque, or if you're camera shy then perhaps with the winning build in the pic.

Next year we endeavor to get the awards out in a more timely fashion, to have another great UCA event, and perhaps even a new trophy/plaque design.

Thanks for looking!

Real names have been smudged out of the pic for privacy.

I am sure the winners are just being humble...I would love to have one of those hanging in my gameroom. They look great and I am sure all the guys will display them proudly

Just out of curiousity, would anyone be interested in a plaque with just the logo?

No, I want an award. Best Troll , Biggest Jerk to Xiaou2, most money spent on a Galaga Restore, SOMETHING!

They look great. Should award one for best looking awards made by hand.

Can we get one made for skill\builds most improved in one year

yotsuya · « **Reply #14 on:** May 17, 2013, 03:08:16 pm »

We give out gold stars for that.

BadMouth · « **Reply #15 on:** May 17, 2013, 03:11:20 pm »

This isn't going to turn into one of those things where everyone gets a participation trophy is it?

yotsuya · « **Reply #16 on:** May 17, 2013, 03:24:56 pm »

There you go. Saved us a plaque run. You deserve a plaque for that, BM.

So nice, I posted it twice.

I laughed. Also learned that while CoreyBee doesnt have language filter turned on, yotsuya does

Can I get one custom made for Xiaou2? Oldest man still living at his Grandmother's award?

you both quoted my Xiaou2 line. Saint made it change my spelling of his name to the actual spelling of his name. thats why I had to come up with other stuff like XuiceBox and things of that ilk.

Wow those look fantastic can't wait to see it on the wall!!

Termin8tor · « **Reply #27 on:** May 18, 2013, 06:08:14 am »

They look amazing and well deserved.

Pixelhugger · « **Reply #28 on:** June 05, 2013, 12:04:13 am »

Just got it in the mail. I missed this updated thread so it caught me entirely off guard.

The detail in the text and crazy clean lines in the logo make me want a laser cutter even more than a CNC router. $:-\$

Awesome surprise. Just awesome!

Thanks again!

Awesome, DaOld Man has received his as well so others should be getting theirs any day now, except Sjaak, he'll get his last I recon based on the internationality of the shipment.

yotsuya · « **Reply #30 on:** June 05, 2013, 10:26:38 am »

Thank you to BYOAC and all those who voted for the Two-Headed Beast! If it weren't for this forum, the Beast would have never been.

Thank you to Le Chuck and yotsuya for putting the time, craftsmanship, skill, money, and effort into these plaques! They really turned out beautiful!

And thanks again to Le Chuck for starting the UCAs back in the beginning of 2012!

Are your eyes red, bro, because you've been possessed by the power of the Hollow-cade?

You seem pretty tall next to that beast, I imagined the CP being higher I guess.

5' 11". Arcade games were made for kids back then.

The height of the front edge of the CPs in that row are: Arkanoid (in a The Pit cab) - 37"; Gorf - 36 5/8"; the Beast - 36 5/8".
