Object of the Fortnight - Discussion thread.

[MJW]

If it should be limited to one or the other of toe_head2001's examples, I think the combination wrench is a good choice. It provides a bit more variety than a double-ended wrench in the first example. Glad to see you back in the thick of things, Woodsy!

But I think we should all concentrate on Toe Head's second example, a combination wrench. If that's OK with everybody?

Personally, I'm all for the fixed-sized combo wrench, but Pixey should get the last word on this.

In the mean time, I will temporarily lock the entry thread, in the (unlikely) event someone will try to enter an image of the wrong wrench type.

[Woodsy]

Thank you MJW! It's good to be at least a little bit active again.

I agree Toe-head. Pixey should have the final say.

[Pixey]

You guys must stay up late whilst I 

 

Let's go with what Toe & Woodsy suggest - the fixed size combo wrench, as I think any other type may be a bit too difficult for everyone.

When was rule #0 added? I don't recall seeing that before. Is it a good idea to change the rules during a comp?

 

No matter, it is what it is. I'm not going to make a new one. If you don't like mine, don't submit it for voting. I'm cool with that....

Sorry about that dipstick. You are correct, it was added approximately 22 hours after the competition was started.

 

It is indeed a bad idea to change the rules after the fact, but in this case, it seemed necessary for some disambiguation. Shorty after the issue of ambiguity as identified, I locked the entry topic and put up a notice about "pending discussion". By the next morning, we had decided on 'fixed-sized combo wrench', so I added that info to the topic and unlocked it.

 

Your wrench looks awesome though.

Great entries for the spanner. If we are being pedantic about the "fixed size" then we should not be allowing adjustable wrenches (shifters in Australia) & the spanners are combination - that is open ended/ring spanner. Just to throw a spanner in the works.  

[toe_head2001]

Reminder: You have approximately 2 and a half days left to update your entry or submit a new one. (See the countdown for exact time remaining)

 

Thanks to those who have participated so far.

Indeed. For the 'Object of the Fortnight' competition, we don't want to be comparing "Apples" to "Oranges".

[dipstick]

Count me out, got more important things going on now. Good luck to all qualified entrants!

It's counting up now... I knew I should have used that "stop at zero" option.

 

Sorry for the delay with ending the poll. My mind was somewhere else.

 

 

[Woodsy]

The dice can also be made of any material.

Pretty cool count down timer Toe-head!

So, you're saying Fuzzy dice would be acceptable?

[Woodsy]

As long as they're within the size limits .

[LionsDragon]

So...as long as they're within the size limits...would gaming dice be acceptable?  I'm a D&D nerd from waaaay back, and I always thought some of the specialized dice were really cool.

 

EDIT: Nevermind, just re-read the rules. Somehow my brain skipped over the "six-sided" line. *facepalm*

What class? I always played a half-elf magic user of some sort.

 

 

 

[Ego Eram Reputo]

Never had much chop with that magical stuff! I always played a basic fighter or rogue. It was a loooong time ago.

[IRON67]

Just a question for the new Dice-Competition: I saw there dices with unusual dot/eye combinations. Normally the sum of the opposite eyes of a dice must be 7.

[toe_head2001]

Yup, and six-sided dice don't have a side with 9 dots on it.

 

This kind of stuff won't get anyone disqualified, but it will probably result in less votes. Food for thought.

 

[AndrewDavid]

 ROFL - Thanks @toe_head2001 I never noticed and I made 2 of them. Back to the drawing board. They weren't perfect anyway. I noticed a few more errors when I posted them. Still lots of time left.

I'm jealous actually. My fighters were always meh, and my rogues varied. Better than my rangers though!

 

And I seriously don't want to think about how long ago it was!

 

 

[toe_head2001]

We're down to the last 46 Hours of the entry-submission phase. If you're still working on your Dice, please don't miss the deadline.

Exact Time Remaining.
