    Although, I just thought that there's a second opinion there that would be cool to try as well. We could do a couple categories, where one would be "Stock AGD" (anything from a right feed body to an SFL) and "Custom" and then people could post their collections like this as well. How about that for October?

      Wouldn't it just be more interesting to have a 3 marker collection entry? Let the people entering pick 3 markers to enter as long as they are in a diffrent class. Define as many diffrent classes as you want, but just one contest.

        Good ideas. The number of entries has been dismal lately, I find it hard to believe we'd be able to fill 4 marker type categories.

          i think a 3 of 4 categories would be best. i also think that if you do decide to do some kind of restriction for the MOTM, that only 1 of the 3 can be a previous winner. should give the small guys a better chance with out kicking them out if they had a previous winner.

            now for the "collection" does it have to be 4, or the total number of guns in the collection? i'd rather see a "family" pic and judge from that. if someone can't get a new pic of what they have, then its time to take some new ones. i also think, run what you brung. so previous winners can enter. just because you won before, doesn't mean that you can't win again, or even if you have a winner, that doesn't mean that someone else's collection might be more impressive as a group than any one individual gun.

              You have to pick which 3/4 you want to enter in for the "group/family". Again, the stipulation is that they have to represent different "types" . Since the concept seems to be confusing some, here is my example of what my "group" entry would most likely look like. Pardon the crappy pic scurried together at the last minute:



              Top left is a CF Minimag bodied pump. Top right is my CF bodied Mech entry. Bottom left is my Dallara bodied, M90 framed Pneumag. Bottom Right is my MM2K9 bodied, VER framed Electro. This entry represents each of the 4 "types" and would be judged as a group.

                I voted for collection of the month since I can't enter the others. I don't have pump/pneu mags . What do you guys think about having entries hidden from competitors?

                  Which was sort of the point to make it more competitive for those of us with less wild anodized Emag heavy collections....

                  Actually got the idea from going to the county fair where they have certain categories where people are judged on a group of 3 chickens.

                    Put up 5 guns... more variety should = more points.

                    Mendel, make a decision and run with it. You won't be able to please everyone. Just try to make it as fair as possible.

                        I think it might be fun to do some oddball ones once in awhile as well. How about the best red or blue marker for one month? Most consistent color usage? Could even to the same group them as three best "electros" or three best "mechs" etc. Would just be fun to see. Maybe best Z mag month?

                          We should talk to Dayspring about adding a "Curators Corner" to AO like PBN has. We can move all of the MOTM stuff there and use something like this to kick it off.

                            Any thoughts on how often this will happen? My thought is to have a COTQ (Q being Quarter) and at the end of the year having the COTY for the four COTQ winners. I do agree with BigEvil though. You should have enough input to get something started. Any issues can be tweaked as we go. And the three people that complain about everything can still complain while the rest of us are perfectly content.
