Okay, I'm going to jump on yon bandwagon and make a vote for voting for the new note up a whatever. I'll follow through on it, so just place your votes below and I'll get to work.

EDIT: Oy, I'm an idiot. Forgot to link this thread to the winning class' thread. Anyway, here it is, the Warmelder

ANOTHER one? Good lord.

I think this has been meta'ed to thorough death.

Will you be hosting the finished contest, thegurullamen? Or will you be asking one of the current contest MCs to do so?

Also, please bear in mind that Vote Up A Prestige Class, Vote Up A Paragon Path and Vote Up A Campaign Setting are all taken.

That is all. Carry on.

[thegurullamen]

I did not know that. Hell.

Will you be hosting the finished contest, thegurullamen? Or will you be asking one of the current contest MCs to do so?

Sure, I'll host, though this is mostly just a joke. But whatever, I could use a pet project on top of dman's PrC contest.

Also, please bear in mind that Vote Up A Prestige Class, Vote Up A Paragon Path and Vote Up A Campaign Setting are all taken.

The hell you say. We on these boards do what we want! And where the heck is vote up a CS? I have many an insight to offer.

[afroakuma]

Myself, Shadow_Elf and Zeta Kai, respectively, are currently working on running these contests.

[Icewalker]

And I was about to post a 'vote up a vote up a creation' thread.

[afroakuma]

The meta is going craaaazy.

[Zeta Kai]

I hang my head in shame for having given birth to such a beast...

BTW, Vote Up a Campaign Setting will begin shortly after the next VUAM (3.X) is finished.

[Magnor Criol]

Actually, it doesn't really sound like thegurullamen thought of this in any context with the "Vote Up A..." threads...he just wants another contest. =p

Also, I wouldn't really call the "Vote Up A..." threads contests. There's no competition, at least not one where a forum member - participant wins out above others; simply voting for aspects.

From the OP's own secondary comments, it sounds exactly like that was the idea.

They are contests, just not contests that you can win. There are winners, losers, underdogs, & landslides. Anything in which the results are determined by voting can be considered a contest.

Slightly incomprehensibly fixed for you.

[thegurullamen]

New plan: Vote Up a Contest. Everyone start! If I care to remember, I'll keep track of something!

I look forward to the VUaCS! If my life weren''t so hectic, I might have done my own!

[Magnor Criol]

Well, that clinches it then.

This meme's taken on a life of its own! It can reproduce now! Everyone flee before it's too late!

Well if you're going to do this Vote-Up-An-X style, you gotta do it proper, methinks. You have to come up with several categories, and a number of options within each category. Hold voting for each category spread over set periods.

This could be difficult to do for a contest, though. Tough to narrow it down to categories.

[afroakuma]

Depends what we're referring to. For homebrewable material, it should be easier. As long as he holds to the high formatting standards we ourselves ascribe to.

[Vadin]

Alternatively, we'll now have a Vote up a Vote Up a Thing Contest! We are now voting Edition.

{table=head]Edition|Votes
3.x/Paizo|
4e*|[/table]

* Note: I can't homebrew 4e because I don't know the rules so if 4e wins, the contest is over and nothing will happen. Good voting!

Do you actually intend to follow through with this Vote-Up-A-Contest Edition vote, or is this whole thing a joke playing off the "Vote-Up-A" meme ZK started?

Honest question.

Because if you are planning on actually following through with this, just skip ahead to actual voting, because it's clear you will only vote up 3.5 things.

[thegurullamen]

Sure, I'll host a real contest. I'm using the day to gather my thoughts. Feel free to post random ideas or comments while I get my stuff together. Categorical things begin tonight at midnight.

[Vadin]

I was really just wondering if you were going to actually have 3.5 or 4e be up to a vote, or if you were only going to go ahead if there was an overwhelming vote for 3.5. Just letting you know, there are quite a lot of us who would love to see more 4e homebrew and would prefer a contest or a Vote-Up-A be done in 4e.

Can't say I'm opposed to the idea, I'm just not the guy to do it. I'm not a big 4e fan and I'm new to 3.x homebrew, so there'll be enough there to occupy me for a while. Sorry.

[Vadin]

Then you should probably append that voting thing up there. As it stands, you seem to be giving (and immediately taking away) the option that this might be in 4e.

I apologize, for I too had a hand in this. If I had never ripped off your idea, no one else would have .

[afroakuma]

No, I would have, Shadow. I think I may have tipped it when I started VUAV 2 immediately after the previous contest's completion. The fault is, I am sorry to say, entirely mine.

[thegurullamen]

Screw all of you, this is my thread. I claim all of the blame! It's mine, all of it!!! (maniacal laughter)

[Vadin]

If we're starting voting already, I vote for Class.

On-topic, I vote for Class. I'm curious to see what you can do, Gurullamen, that hasn't been done before.

No pressure, right? I'll try to be as original as possible, but no promises. Then again, I won the Unswerving Faith PrC contest. Who'm I kidding? I got this. [/George Lopez]

[kopout]

I vote for Item. We have not had one yet.
