UCA 2016 ?

[yamatetsu]

To open up a can o' worms : Will there be UCAs for cabs completed in 2016 ?

[yotsuya]

No,  everyone who made a cab this year gets a gold star.

[yamatetsu]

I'd like to nominate Laythe's Mimic for two gold stars.

On a serious note, if there is, I think LeChuck should take it over again. It was definitely a certain level of professionalism and care  in how the process was run when he was in charge of it.

Gingerballs

Hi, Jim!!!

[Malenko]

Who ever did em last year should be banned from ever doing them again. ---smurfing--- travishamockery.

Make sure you make enough for everyone, bro!!!

Do I actually have to complete my cabinet to receive a gold star? I am "almost" done.

No, you would get a participation ribbon.

Anyone that has actually cut a board this year gets a Golden Sawdust for sure.

You guys all know how much I hate jumping to strong opinions without deep contemplation but MAME sure as hell seems dead if the Houston show was any indication.  2 years ago it was filled with people hustling Weecades.  Saw all of one this year.  Classic consoles took up a big chunk of space and were being heavily played.  Not much else there besides pinball and pre-1985 arcade games.

I agree with you, but I come to those conclusions by looking at the type of upright cabinets we've been seeing built in the last few years.

I'm happy to hand the UCA password information over to someone else if you guys can sucker them into doing it.

I will make physical stickers of your design, Yam. PM me a link to a high resolution copy.

[vwalbridge]

Can we get be-dazzeld bronze ribbons handed out for builds that were announce but never started?

[melvinbates]

That sticker alone would make it worth going to Zapcon 2017...

I doubt that this will look good in print. Those pics are very low-res. I made it in CorelDraw, which is probably useless to you. I hope you can use a .psd file, see the attachment.

[DeLuSioNal29]

Maybe it should be done every two years?  So moving forward the award would be for the prior 2 year builds?

[Malenko]

No it should probably be retired. It started off as the community recognizing the best of the best builds and regressed into a ---meecrob----bag doing questionable ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- to win an award he didn't deserve and he now pushes a youtube channel hoping someone jerks his circle. (not you dEl, you're a ---meecrob----bag but you aren't the ---meecrob----bag I'm talking about )

Chuckie needs to run it again and pick his crew if its going to keep existing. If not, RIP UCAs.

[DeLuSioNal29]

(not you dEl, you're a ---meecrob----bag but you aren't the ---meecrob----bag I'm talking about )

I'd only be a ---meecrob----bag if I swapped out your Tournament Arkanoid board with my normal Arkanoid board and then sold it to you.  Yes, you lucky bastard, it turns out you have an Tourney version in that sucker.

When are you delivering? I'll be back in the US on 12/8

[8BitMonk]

The only value I see in this is aggregating a bunch of cool projects from the year into one thread, other than that... meh. Ranking them is unnecessary and highly subjective anyway.

[DeLuSioNal29]

Prob after then. Will text you.

Heh, thanks.

Did somebody say

[Locke141]

I was thinking what I liked about the UCA's and what was always a little annoying, even before last year.

Maybe we should do a UCA this year but not for best in class builds. Instead it may be nice for just 2016 at least to have all the categories around community contributions.

Here are some ideas:

• Most helpful member
• Best tutorial (this could be posable broken down into multiple awards)
• Most helpful, best documented built thread
• Product of the Year (commercial)
• Best member created and freely shared art work
• Best member created and freely shared detaled build planes
• Best Member created and freely shared Software of the year

What do you all think?

 

[yotsuya]

I personally think you should tell people they did a good job when they build their cabs and not worry about any awards.

Meh ... purple stars are where it's at!

[Locke141]

Good point.

I was just thinking it would be nice to put the people who share and help build the cumnity instead of there own toys some collective recognitions.

Just make sure I get a UCA when I finish my cab 6 years from now.
