Head to Head Contest: You Choose.
I've decided to test an idea for some friendly competition. The rules are simple: two volunteer members will be given a week to create an Instructable based on a common subject. Whoever creates the better Instructable (higher quality, cooler, featured, most voted for, etc) will win a patch similar to the images below. Because this is the first run, and I can't think of a subject, the competing members will have to agree on a subject of their choosing. If there is a flood of volunteers, the community will vote on who they want to see face off. In this trial, I will allow up to four separate pairs to compete. If this doesn't make any sense, well, I just woke up! :P
The stats are as follows:
Lithium Rain VS. gmjhowe: Card, any kind of card, and it has to plug into a computer. Deadline: to be determined.
Matt1497 VS. watermelonhead : Duct tape hoodie. Deadline: 10th of August.

I'm in Chelan for a week with no internet, so she can have another week extension.

Hey, I have an idea. It's 130 degrees out cool me down!
Ok, it's really 103, but the thermometer that's been sitting in the sun all day says 130! It's never been this hot. Ever!

It's cloudy and like 75 here -_- I was watching the news yesterday and nearly EVERYTHING was about how hot it was outside.
75? It's about 18 here! Oh, wait, metric.... (converts) man, I'd kill for 75 degree heat. It's more like 65 here- it's the end of July and I went to the shops at lunchtime wearing three layers >_<
:( I hate having to layer clothes in summer to stay warm.

Can I volunteer for next week (this week will be exceptionally busy) ?
Can I volunteer to TAKE YOU DOWN in a deadly competition to the DEATH!
>Rolleyes< you WISH! You're on!! We need to think of a category now...and a convenient week for both. :D
Im good for most weeks, now alot of furniture is moved over to the new house! So whenever is best for you.
Cool, congrats on that! :) Hmm, okay, maybe not this week but next? What kind of project do you want to do it on?
It depends if you want to go for epic, or something small and skilful?
I don't think I have time for epic atm...small and skillful? :D
Okies, how about something cardboard based? We can enter the competition then also!
shall we pick a more specific item? I was thinking some kind of card based computer peripheral.
Ok It has to be Card, any kind of card, and it has to plug into a computer?
Cool! :D
I added your challenge to the topic, but that doesn't mean you have to start this week.
It could be because I just woke up, but "added" sounds like a really weird word.

It may be because of the way you used it in the sentence (not necessarily incorrectly, though - try reading it: I have just added your challenge or maybe even your challenge has been added and see if that sounds better to you. :-)

Yeah, if it works for Jake could the deadline be next Wednesday?
Next wednesday.. I might be able to manage that! I have come into some time this weekend.
Ugh, that makes one of us (don't ask). I might just make a square of cardboard, draw a robot on it and call it an ible.
Aww, i would rather wait, and you have the time to make something good.
Thanks. :D Haha sorry, I didn't expect to be quite so busy is all...
as she secretly works on her project, in the mean time...
:-)
Just Teasing !

Crazy! Who's crazy?! I'm certainly not! *Twitch*

Oh dear. Wburg? Do you have an idea for a competition? I have an AWESOME photography-based Instructable planned for the distant future, but it requires an 18"f/4.5 mirror...

Photography could work as a cool subject for both of ya! I dunno, some techniques (lens, filters, editing), tips, tricks, hacks....

Nonsense! Do you want the site to explode from epic overload?
*chuckle* yeah, I'll pick a radio tube out of my collection and we must then build a project around that tube LOL
I haven't many tube left here sadly....I was mainly joking though I may have a 6AU4 or similar tube floating about somewhere. :-)

says:
No not on tubes. Something else. How about we make a castle ? a cardboard castle and at the same time we could submit to the contest ? or do you have something else in mind ?
Well, I am kind of pressed for time......I am much better with electronics then I am with other materials (although I do like pyrography). I am currently preparing for a trip to NYC, so much of my time and concentration has been in that upcoming event. Let me think about it a bit. :-)

says:
Ok, but do reply soon. Anways lets do something with cardboard and electronics.
How soon is soon? :-) My trip, which I am saving for, is this coming Sat. and it will be a week after that before I am paid again.
I'm sorry, it is just bad timing on my end. Maybe afterward?

Aww, you know I love you. I was just kidding! Besides, I put it in fine print (small text) It was read at your own risk. (this warning was in fine fine print)
Eh? 41, actually, and what exactly is wrong with a 41 year old?

..I like the creepiness rule - I know a guy who should really pay attention to that (52 vs 21!)
This will blow your other eye out - she has a kid by him.
No, his is a real, non-celebrity person that I know in real life.
Besides, I once worked with a guy that was in his late 60's and was married to a 26 year old. I dropped by his farm once to pick up some hot compost (horse manure is very active and referred to as hot compost, once it gets working).
Ah ok, I was hoping you didn't know Woody Allen in real life, so I wasn't going to drop the name :-)
q_p I'm blind now... Ugh, that's seriously just not right...
I would be up for a gmjhowe vs kiteman paper folding extreme competition.

Tough cookies! Now get building! Gmjhowe's got a lead now!
Paper folding? Not really my thing... How about "something that climbs"?
I thought he meant origami...
(I'm in the middle of an entry to the cardboard contest - the glue needs to dry overnight - want a sneak preview?)
