Challenge/Contest/Swap Thread/Partners chosen
 

Well alright! So far we have 27 builders ready to participate in this somewhat unique "Challenge/Swap"! Basically what we are going to do is take all of the names and match them with another builder...everyone will get another builders name. The premise of this challenge is that the name of the person you receive gets to make a request of you....to build a plug! Now......the idea was that you would have to accept that persons challenge and complete that plug to the best of your ability! However some folks are concerned about making certain plugs which may be out of their expertise (I would not want to make a darter either:wall:) so here is how we will do it. The person can make a request and if you accept it then so be it.....however if the request is a bit much the builder can make an offer to make something which may be a bit more to their ability. EXAMPLE: Slipknot gets my name and he will request a plug of me....his request will either be agreed upon or the 2 parties can come to a mutual agreement such as I can't make the darter Slipknot wanted but we agree I will make him a jointed "Prey" swimmer?? What we are looking for here is to build a plug which may be unique and different from what you may ordinarily make....to test your skill a little. In the end.....after all is said and done each builder will receive a plug and hopefully all will enjoy a good time! When finished we can post pics of the bounty and maybe display many of them at PlugFest in February! It sounds complicated but its pretty basic and intended for a goodtime! :uhuh:

Below is a list of names of all who are "IN". Anyone interested in getting in has until noon Monday the 5th to enter at which time it will close to all. That evening I will announce the pairings and you can all get in touch via pm's and get to work! The deadline for completion is February 14th which is a week before "PlugFest"! That gives us almost 6 weeks to get 1 plug finished!! Can you do it??:devil2:

Thats quite a talented lineup! We have all seen the work from many of these folks so this should be interesting! Any questions?:confused:

Please make this a sticky moderators! Thanks!

Larry to even it up and make it easier count me in as #28.

Hoped you would jump in Chris!:cool: We don't need an even number as all will get 1 name.

Bring it on


















:hidin:

this sounds like a cool idea, I'll enter if theres room.

one question Larry, What if you cant attend the plug fest?
Nick

You do not have to attend PlugFest. All plugs will be mailed to the recipient from the builder.

looks like goforbroke makes it 29, so I'll make it an even 30.
I'm in.

OK we have 30 builders participating! I will pair the names this afternoon and post them by 6:00!:kewl:

Wow! Lookit the guys I'm hangin' with! :shocked:

Swap List!
 

Here are the pairings! The name on the left is the person who is building the plug and the name on the right is the person who is receiving the plug! Got it?? So when you get the name of the person who's plug you are building....give them a pm and talk plugs!:btu:

Everyone let me know if there is any trouble with communication? Not seeing alot of response here and wondering if people are not seeing the sticky??

Outnumbered has challenged me to build for him an Atom Jr. in my "Bunker" paint scheme! Should be fun as I have never built one but have been toying with it! Any other folks making contact and making plans??? Lets hear it!

I'm thinking about asking for a Rattling Jointed Darter....in Plaid :hee:

How'd I miss this:smash: Can't wait to see everyone's creations.

Anyone know this Lurker ,,? Strangers can just wander in here .. :wavey:

status:
Mr. Krinkle has contacted me and I asked for a danny :cool:

I contacted montauksrfcastr and asked him what he wants made. :pats:

I'm good on what I'm making and what I'm getting :kewl:

Im getting a surfster and makeing a offset turned darter!:bl:

My builder has just made contact and we are ironing out my wants and desires!!!:drool: I gave go4broke44 the option of making what he considers his specialty.......or to have me truly challenge his capabilities and push him to his plug building limitations!!!!:devil2: I will keep you all informed which way this one goes....Muaaa hah ha haaaaaaa!!!:uhuh: This is fun!!

How is everyone else on the list doing??? Lets hear it!

Off center turned darter??!!! Ouch! You drew a real ball breaker!!:rotflmao: Gonna have to go see who it is! Wow! Canalman is putting your feet to the fire!!!

working out what color and style with jig man, will post when ironed out

I have some offset turned darters in the works already. so its an easy one.

Ahhhhh Bay Stalker drew Jigman to build him a plug!!! He does make a pretty fine plug!!:tooth::drool::drool:

pm
 

I've got 2 pm's and returned them:cheers2:

No juicy details??:drool:

I thought I was making a plug for Baystalker, a little confused here.

My bad I thought that when jig man emailed me that I was building for him and he was building for me, I did not look at how the list was set up. Check your PMs
