2005 BYOAC Tokens: General dicsussion.

Hehe... I forgot how fun it was to follow a thread that updated faster than I could type in a response.

I really like the idea of the "design submissions only" thread, separate from the discussion thread. Great idea.

One thing I felt badly about last year was the "inequity of bling." In retrospect I don't think it was fair to all the designs to have some blinged and some not. I would suggest black and white submissions only. This forces the voting to be based solely on the quality of the design and not on the quality (or lack thereof) of bling. Any design that looks good in B+W will look good blinged, and I don't think anyone should have their design sidelined because it doesn't have the same level of metal like realism as someone elses... Now that we know what the tokens look like and how well details resolve I think we should focus on black and white submissions only. If it comes down to deciding on the old "to stipple or not to stipple" issue for the final contenders, we could easily add identical bling the last few to be voted on. Just my 2 cents.

Regarding the rerunning of last years on one side, I vote for something entirely new. If anyone is interested in the old BYOAC/Mame designs, we could easily put together a special "limited edition" at cost, since there are no die fees. I've been thinking for some time about a BYOAC/MAME Hybrid like what Chris suggested, so even if the polling indicates no rerun of last years, those who missed out could still get some.

True, and I can understand there's little need for any post that can be summarized as "me too"...  But public interest is a factor in whether these get made.  I think there's a little value in indicating that the interest is there - at least if the speaker is serious about wanting to buy some tokens.  Those interested will get some say in the design, too (though I think it's good that the final decisions are being more tightly controlled this time.)

On the other hand, maybe it's not necessary at this point.  I don't know.  But I'm excited!  So I post anyway.  :)

hehe, I wanna buy some

DrewKaree:

I don't wanna see no friggen stipple, just like the new quarters.  Just design, all bright and shiny....something I can flash in front of Zakk's eyes and mesmerize him and lure him into shaving that dumb bushy mustache buying me a Ferrarri too!


Oh for Pete's sake, START THE DESIGN AND IDEA THREADS ALREADY WOULDJA? ;) ;D
