Hey guys, As explained in this months issue of the digest, from now until midnight Eastern Standard time - it's time to select a winner for the best full review on SBG that was submitted to the forums between the 1st of September to the 15th of October, 2007. The number of reviews left me a bit surprised - a total of 30 qualifying, which is pretty intense really! But I have listed them all here on SBG, numbered in the order which they appear (well, the order that they appeared when I collated them). SO have a look through and select your favorite - the winner will receive a $50 gift voucher from the vendor of their choice in addition to any review points or vouchers already given, so let's see what you all think! Click here to see the selection and cast your voteCONDITIONSOnly 1 vote per person. Voting closes at midnight, USA Eastern Standard time on the 20th of October 2007.

And look! 0% chance of me winning ;D Hehe - now that would be a first. I suppose that when it comes time to count up the votes, if it says that you have won - I'll know you rigged it somehow.

Now let me get this straight. It's by review, not person right? So if a person has 12 votes spread over 3 reviews, they don't get 12 votes right? You only count the review that has the highest number of votes. Wait, I answered my own question. Nevermind!

I was gonna step in there, but you answered your own question. Obviously though, the more reviews you have in there - the greater your overall chances of winning!

Rammstein always wins. He just wins behind the scene. Everytime someone votes against ol rammers, Paul secretly votes 3 times for me. I pay him well.
edit: And I've got no idea HOW many time Puaul votes for me...I think 3 gecko bodies equal 1 vote, would you say that's about right, Paul?

I've got a basement, but I wish I had a Puaul. It'd be like having my own little goblin servant. I'd give him a spear and helmet, and turn him loose...

I still plan to write a good review for my Gen2 Elven King, but sadly have not got round to it yet. Guess I'm too late. Makes me sad

A little later than what I had hoped (sorry about that guys, life with a 5 month old bub sometimes see schedules go a little awry!), but the results are in...! All in all we had only 41 votes come in - which is almost less than the number of reviews being voted on! And even though they were scattered all around the place, we had enough to determine a winner... And the winner with 6 of the 41 (14.6%) of the votes is... (drumroll) Sept of the Clan Sinclair and Ignited for their extremely amusing review of the wooden Bokken! As it was a joint review, I wasn't sure if I should split the prize or not - but hey, it was a very amusing review - and they deserve it, so I'm gonna award 50 review points each. ;D In second place, with 5 (12.2%) we have RicWilly with his review of the Hanwei Edward the III - and an announced 25 review points for coming so close. And in third place, we have the great 'in character' review by Cap'n Suvurov himself - and a bonus 10 review points. Other popular reviews were Centurion2000s VA Praetorian (3 votes), Mark Mowreys Cheness Kaze Ko Katana (3 votes) and Sept's Gen2 Irish (3 votes)! Great stuff to all those of you who were entered, and for those of you who didn't vote (yes, you know who you are!) shame on you...! (kidding, kidding! But next time, join it - the more the merrier!) Cheers all, - Paul
