Re: 2005 Best in Class: 'X' {Submissions}

The Long: I was very busy shortly after I started this competition. We lost an employee (Bad work ethic and we let him go) So while I had to both fill the gap, and train the new blood. This let me with one day a week I could call my own, and I let this competition slide. To further compound the issue, I was never truly invested into this challenge in the way I was with W.H.A.L.E.S, 8-Track Tape, and Group A Homologation. I brain child-ed 'The Best in Class' as a sort of angry and spiteful response to complaints about how strict I was on the rules for my previous competitions, on top of that the lax approach I took to enforcing a naming convention, saving issues with the build at that time, and nearly every submission needing to be re-sent twice to get past LUA errors, or botched saves, I was fast losing the little interest I had in the BiC. The time I did have, I squandered on other less important tasks, to avoid working on the BiC. I am not proud of it, but I delayed long enough, and I have some time free this weekend, so I will set to and bloody finish the BiC, and it will have at minimum the quality of writing from my previous events.

I ask for your forgiveness as I now genuinely have a competition I want to run and will be vested in. But in order to do that, the BiC must be finished. I will not leave you empty at this time, I do have some information to post.

Re: 2005 Best in Class [Writing Stage]

Don't sweat it, you're nowhere near as bad as me, with my half-written Mille Cavalli shootout (which was really a prototype pilot for the BSLL), except I did promise an illustrated article, which is still half written (at 3000 words...). That was over a year ago. And I'm still promising to complete it.

Also hell yeeeaahhhh sportiest in class just what I was hoping for.

Re: 2005 Best in Class [Writing Stage]

Your forgiven, my competitions tend to be overly complex. I do really like the open format you came up with for it though.

I would have to say that Yurimacs quality had to be damn good, as well as Tyconderos affordability... I don't think there was much I could do to improve my quality and affordability without sacrificing my off road score.

Look on the bright side, your off-road score was sufficiently high enough to dwarf the other "not-a-jeep"

Re: 2005 Best in Class [Writing Stage]

Ah, I'm not surprised mine didn't do too well. I had little direction on which way I wanted to make the car, so I ended up making a mess.

Take your time, I'm sure you'll be beating your head in with my review. That or you'll be beating the hell out of me with your prose. I may have won the power segment, but it took huge sacrifices to pull that off since I was competing with Strop and his 1KS sports car.
