    Bang or Bucks: Grand Prize

    Let's start the discussion about what you guys want to do for a grand prize?

    I have a couple of ideas, but cool things cost money and as much as I want to make this worth while for you guys, I invest enough time and effort. I was thinking an optional $2 contribution at the end of the year, to make your team eligible for the vote and grand prize?

    I don't want to ask for anything crazy but I'm not going to shell cash out.

    My thoughts were, a poster of the complete set of cards (might be cool or creepy), a jersey from china, a custom mcfarlane, or an autographes 8x10 of yours truly.

    I'm open to any and all suggestions.
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all     true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can     mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

    Would you actually send out the custom McFarlane or just leave it by your microwave

    My wife would LOVE a poster of all the cards in a poster. She'll probably put it over our bed.

    A McFarlane of one of my stable of women?

    FYI, Since I am going to win this thing, Bell is my favorite so you can start looking now.

    Just this:

    When I die, please don't let my wife sell my camera equipment for what I told her I paid for it.

    OK, apparently, I need to learn the lingo here... I've seen "avatar fairy" a couple times and have no idea what you guys mean by it...

    Anyway, I would suggest one rule for the voting and it's pretty obvious... You can't vote for yourself. Perhaps some sort of point system where you rank the players in order, not including yourself? For example:

    Say 5 players are in the running... I'll use myself, Miyagi, TLBF, NBF and Static (Just 4 off the top of my head). So, when submitting my vote, it would be something like this:

    BLeon -
    Miyagi 3
    TLBF 1
    NBF 2
    Static 4

    4 being the one I would pick to win, 3 for second place, 2 for third and 1 for fourth.

    You could always go the opposite and score golf-style (lowest combined score wins)... In this case, I'd be picking TLBF to win, NBF second and so on...

    But, I really don't think you should be able to vote for yourself. Otherwise, who wouldn't pick their own stable?

    if you want to change your avatar, you make a request to the "avatar fairy". One of the admins will usually grant your request.

    Ah, so you don't have to pay to change it??

    I thought people just didn't know how to resize pictures...
