Still needing one more player for a team game!

Heh - she bought them for me - we are just that sort of friends......

(The gift has much more to do with the ducks rather than the advent aspect.)

And I am not quite sure what I am going to do with a  Christmas blind box of advent ducks.....

Mystery solved - a friend just sent me an email saying that she had that package drop shipped to me.

You should ask her what she's going to do with a blind box of advent ducks

It won't let me vote without voting for all 3.  So my vote goes to @Makar.  It was honestly a tough call.  Mandy's is the quintessential jack-o'-lantern and it has a fantastic orange quality when it's lit up. But I felt there was a little more skill to Makar's candy skull pumpkin.

As for decorated or painted pumpkins, I vote nay.  They're fine and all, but jack-o'-lanterns are specific to the holiday.  

Jack O Lanterns are meant to be lit at night!

The whole forum thing is a relic of the past. But its still the best place for lists and actual discussions. The prices have gone insane and that not just because I remember 2010 prices. Its like everyone has gone crazy. Gaming and collecting seems a lot bigger these days so its not recruitment to the hobby that is dying off. BUT is does seem like the masses will rather watch a hype top 10 r@re games video without any rare games shown than go discuss the actual rare games

Unfortunately, it seems some people are more into "give me a follow" or "subscribe" than they are engaging with an actual community. I don't know what it is, but after a pleasant conversation discussing recent sales with someone at a yard sale, picks ups and all that, they simply had no interest in googling VGS or joining it. It was all about promoting themselves and trying to get me to follow them on social media. It's a shame really.

I voted no for the exception in future pumpkin carving contests simply because of what they are.  Where I used to work, they would have the exact opposite type of contests each Halloween, pumpkin decorating contests, where painted pumpkins (as well as ones that had been dressed up with clothes, had stuff glued to them, etc.) were welcome, but any that had actually been cut on were explicitly banned.

I don't dislike the idea of painted and/or otherwise decorated pumpkins, but for the purposes of a carving contest, I think it should it remain just that.  Maybe have two contests if other types of decoration were to be allowed?  I say separate contests due to the two technique being a bit like apples and oranges, to me at least.

I voted yay, but different "Categories" would be nice to not blend them. Carving + Painting is a nice mix when done correctly. Straight painting vs straight carving, meh.

Alright, try it now @Mega Tank @Krunch Any luck? It SHOULD be working now, I completely deleted the poll, then re-did it, so hopefully that'll allow you guys to re-vote, since I assume the issue was that it wasn't letting you vote since you guys voted in the original poll. I also went ahead and extended the voting deadline to 6 AM since there's been some technical difficulties, haha. If it is working, go ahead and also re-vote @NESfiend while you're at it.

If not still the only other thing I can think of is posting the poll in a different thread altogether which would be a huge pain.

It worked, thanks.

I voted Yay on the poll, but would painted be just straight painting and no carving?

I'll give it some time and see if anyone else has trouble voting, if so I can mess around with the polls and try to get it working if that is the case. Worst case scenario in the meantime you guys can always just say in a post on the thread who you'd vote for, haha.

Poll isn't working

It looks like FTX is going under and Binance is taking it over. This is pretty wild.

 

But what about that new logo on top of the FTX Arena where the Miami Heat play?!

Holiday Bump, because why not

There is a market for these. I'd be guessing if I gave you a $ amount. @Sign Collector Guymight have a better idea.
