Group Build 2020/2021 Poll - Round Two

[Weaver]

Gentlemen I need your thoughts.

As things stand we have a tie for third spot running. Now come the end of the week that may well no longer be the case, but if it is then it presents me with a problem.

We only normally run 3 GB's plus the One Week Build during the course of the season so I need to decide what to do and would like your thoughts on the subject.

I don't really want to have a run off poll, I might do though and if so it will be over 5 days max. I have thought about adding the votes received in this round to those received in the preliminary round to come to a decision, but I don't really like that idea if only because knowing my luck they will have got the same number of votes in round 1.

So anyone got any other suggestions or comments on my thoughts above ?

Yes.  Go for the one which hasn't been done recently.

I second that. IIRC, one of the culprits HAS been done in historical times.
Else, you can toss a coin and put it on youtube.

Thirded.

As it stands, right now, you have a 3-way tie for first ... which is useful.

[Nick]

Nick, as I think I've said elsewhere I should of done this in the first place. However not having done it before the vote started I can't really do it now or at the end of the vote because people could say, and quite reasonably, that I'm showing favouritism and why couldn't I have done this for suggestions x and y ? Indeed I'm already being accused of fiddling things, much worse actually, over on BTS by somebody hiding behind a user name.

Yea, well, different approaches I suppose. I just don't think you should change the rules half way through something, but then I'm a little old fashioned I suppose ?

BTW the problem  have "over there" appears to be nearing a satisfactory conclusion.

[NARSES2]

Right gentlemen the results are in and the Judgement of Solomon isn't required, just. 

So the 2020/2021 Group Build Season will look something like this.

The Annual One Week Build - Saturday 13th June to Sunday 21st June

The Prototypes G.B. 1st July to 30th September

The Captured G.B. 1st November to 31st January 2021

The Blue Lights G.B. 1st March 2021 to 31st May 2021.

Dates are currently provisional, but I'll firm things up over the next week or so.

As for usual I'll be looking for Moderators (Tom I have you down, let me know which you prefer : Dave are you up for the One Week GB ?). If I don't get volunteer Mod's then you'll just have to put up with me 

Thanks for taking part and any comments please use this thread.

I'll volunteer for the "Blue Lights GB", Chris.

Should be OK for that, unless something untoward happens in the next 11 months.

Gentlemen

Many thanks indeed, Blue Lights it is.

That gives me my Mod's for that GB 

[NARSES2]

I think Airfix have somewhat jumped the gun when it comes to the Blue Light GB

Chris, I'll jump in on Prototypes if a mod is still needed.

"You may think so, but I couldn't possibly comment"  seems an appropriate quote to use here.
