Moved from unofficial FOTM thread

AEither way works for me, but the I second it thing adds more to it. Can someone who nominated a car then second another one? How many cars can you second etc... I say nominate, and thats that. Provide a couple pics (not too many) and the screen name and that should be enough right?

These contest are going to be hard... It's not like "Player of Week" for the NFL where you have stats that aren't static and change every month/week. What's to stop someone from winning every month or all of the time?

I say break it down by categories, but that is just me...

Once you win, your done for the year is how I think it's going to be? Also what are the rules on cars that you now don't own? I would vote bottlefed but he doesn't have the car anymore, can he still be nominated?

No if you don't have the car anymore then you can't be nominated. And once you win you can't be nominated but your in the running for stang of the year.

I kind of agree, even though I want to nominate bttlefed, lol!

I think that you should require a 2nd or even 3rd person to nominate someone... just to filter down the voting list. I.E.

I nominate 25th

I second that.

25th is nominated, no more need to post.

See... the trouble with doing these kinds of things is having to keep track of it all. Sure, the first couple are going to be a rough road with a lot of nominations.

Having a nomination though, then someone to give a second, third, etc. just makes the whole thing a PITA to keep track of. Categories... OMG, the number of implications and threads just boggles the mind.

There are just too many folks in 5oh to constantly split a FOTM in pieces and parts. While some are regulars, many are only on occationally. My hope is that once folks see the caliber of the cars that are being nominated that this will cut down on the sheer number of nominees.

I for instance, wouldn't nominate a car like mine against those first few that I've seen in the test thread.

Done correctly, we should only see two threads running on this issue per month. The one that nominations are made in and the one that the voting is done in.

Split the categories up like they do at cars shows. IMO, there are some great looking stock Fox bodies in here, but they don't stand a chance against some of the cars already mentioned. So I guess the key is that if you want to win FOTM, you have to have a modded car, or at least something that looks better than stock... with the exception of the Cobra.

I guess you won't please everyone.
