I’m kinda wondering how so many entries were attracted… I could say topic, but I’ll refrain. Good showing of everyone… I’ll admit I wonder what place I would’ve been voted into…
It’s customary to wait for Theeth to send you a note asking for the new topic… which doesn’t usually happen until after voting is closed sometime Thursday night.
spectre7, no, that is not a custom, and I am not declaring victory. Because it appears as though I will likely win, I sent Theeth the topic, should I win. If I do not win, mine will not be the topic. However, the main thing, is that if Theeth doesn’t empty his inbox, he won’t get the topic, be it a reply to a message from him, or not. btw, I have won several of these things, and that is always the way I do it. It keeps things moving along. That is my custom.
Actually, I believe he’d notice that his box is full, since you can’t send PMs with a full box (AFAIK).
No offense, but I think your custom could easily be misinterpreted (especially when announced in an open forum). I won’t speak for anyone else, but to me, it certainly looked like you were declaring victory, and if I were competing, I would likely have a few unkind feelings toward you at the moment.
People of the blender community, do you want an elitist such as Modron who says, and I quote, “btw, I have won several of these things, and that is always the way I do it.” I say it is time for change! Vote Woodman5k in this coming weekend challenge.
