rocky1243;717222 said:You see this shit? lol You reply but you didn't nominate anyone.
So I guess I will start it off.

the boss!;717495 said:I thought the winner was the biggest gainer
flaccid,erect, girth
So the nominates go to the "finals"? some like that?
eugine8plz;717538 said:Alrighty boys so here's what happened over the last 30 or so days...
Starting...
BPFSL: 7.9"
BPEL: 7.5"
MSEG: 5"
Current...
BPFSL: 8.1"
BPEL: 7.5"
MSEG: 5"
Got a solid .2" gain in BPFSL which is not bad to see, especially in just a month!
So for my vote... As much as I would love to vote for myself, I simply cannot. The reasons being is that 1) I just won the poster of the month and would like to give someone else a chance to win the prize, and 2) I have not been as consistent as some others in this competition.
So with that being said I vote for nerd-since-92!!
Big Schwanz Acht;717566 said:well this is disappointing...no change for me, still 7 3/4" BPEL and 6 3/4" MSEG. EQ was an issue cuz I'm rushing-around to get outta town for a couple of days, but it is what it is
joaobigdick;717606 said:Sorry for the delay, guys!
No gains for me!
NPBEL: 17cm;
BPEL: 17,3cm;
MEG: 14,5cm.
Let's keep rocking!
Big Schwanz Acht;717687 said:Looks like there have been several 'successes' within the competition...congratulations gentlemen!
Thanks DLD, if the guys are up for it again I will keep it going.doublelongdaddy;717688 said:Rocky, This was a fabulous idea and I think you should continue these competitions, they are really benefiting those involved! Excellent work my Brother!
kyomoto;717764 said:yeah, even the no gainers will gain soon though so dont give up

Anyways I heard back from one of our judges, Arkailija. He really stepped up and gave a thorough reply on his thought process, he explained very clearly how came to decide who should win the competition. I don't want to disclose this information yet so I do not influence the other judges.
We are still waiting on longstretch and templ, so BSA put some pressure on your niggles so he doesn't slack off.
rocky1243;717783 said:Thanks DLD, if the guys are up for it again I will keep it going.
arkailija;717802 said:Thanks for the kind words Rocky!
And one thing, a shame that you weren't nominated beardedbaldy; I checked your log as well and it is very well made. Congratulations on your gains, keep progressing! Especially your video parts are a big thing in this community, in my opinion.
Now, let's hear from the other judges pronto!

beardedbaldy;717816 said:Nominated for what , the competition? As far as I'm aware I'm in the competition but I've never been nominated for the routine of the week.
rocky1243;717842 said:I asked numerous times on previous posts to nominate people to win the monthly competition so we could narrow down the conteders. This way the judges didnt have to go through ten journals to decide upon a winner. You could have nominated yourself.
I try to make this a democracy, but its usually the same 3-4 suspects giving input.
beardedbaldy;717846 said:So im not part if the competition because I wasn't nominated to be in it? There wasn't much point in asking people to join if that's how it's going to be done. I've not exactly been active on here of late because of work and family commitments so the fact I've been excluded for not nominating myself to be judged in a competition I'm already apart of is ridiculous .
rocky1243;717850 said:You do understand theres ten journals going on? And you do realize that the judges give out of their own time to do this task, many already turned down the position because it was too much work even after narrowing down.
You werent excluded, you were considered. You just werent a runner up for the final group. Had you nominated yourself you would probably had made it to that last group. I understand you were busy, I am busy too. Yet I take the time to reply to every journal asking for measurements, come here and ask for people to nominate who wins "this", "that", who the judges should be, Pm possible judges, Pm judges info, do a bit of graphic design for the certificates etc. Sometimes my efforts are taken a little for granted by people who just skim through, and give one sentece replies that are completely off topic. Im not a kid, I have a full time job and pay rent like the rest of us.
So I think you are being a little inconsiderate.
beardedbaldy;717858 said:So for a competition that more 10 people signed up for an submitted starting stats have been excluded by vote? Why do judges have to check journals when competitors could post their results in this thread? This comp was set up for gains in 30 days and on reading back on previous posts things changed to the competition being based on journal entries being added each day which I cannot do and I'm sure that would be the same for other people who entered the competition.
Because I can't add to my journal every day I'm automatically excluded as are others in the same situation. I'm completely lost on the whole concept of this competition to be honest and it's feels like favouritism has taken over .
You say your are not a kid and neither am I but I have two of them who I make priority in the evenings . I post on here when ever I can grab a spare minute and some of my responses will be short but I still make an effort. If that makes me inconsiderate then I guess I am.
rocky1243;717871 said:The competition started as a motivation, no pictures where required because the emphasis was on the process. Plus we have participants on different levels, it is not fair to compare the gains of someone who is starting out vs someone who already gained 2". Nobody said you are automatically excluded if you don't post everyday. I thought this was clear. What makes you inconsiderate is not the fact that you don't reply or give input. What makes you inconsiderate is that I am putting the time and you shit and criticize my efforts because you didnt have time to nominate yourself. If you don't have the time to fully participate in the descision making process accept the consequences. How has "favoritism"? If theres one thing Ive done is consult you guys on everything. Who do you claim is getting benefited from this favoritism?
"You say your are not a kid and neither am I but I have two of them who I make priority in the evenings ."
And I have a life and I chose to take out of my time to do this. This competition does need to exist, matter of fact if I didnt push it it wouldve fallen into the background and be forgotten quickly like most of them.
@BSA its 10 journals with 30 daily logs atleast. It doesnt need to get to 25 for it to be daunting, if you think otherwise go ahead and find the judges. I couldnt.
beardedbaldy;717877 said:Whatever dude remove me , unsububscibe me I'm done.
kyomoto;717887 said:I have no idea what's going on but lets not behave immature [haha]. Rocky I've not seen anyone really nominate judges like templ or shortdick more than people have nominated threak. So what the hey, where's Threak, did he not accept? And why does 1 nomination guarantee a place as a judge.
rocky1243;717908 said:ThreakX did not accept. One nomination guarantees the place as a judge because we don't have many options/time. Plus not many nominations were made, and the ones that were made I already tried. That being said I do think we have a nice group of judges. We can start the hunt for judges on the next competition earlier, because its not easy to find them believe me.
Anyways, for the next competition now that we know the basic structure I think we can figure out specific dates of what needs to happen when so everyone knows beforehand.
Big Schwanz Acht;717981 said:(I am writing this from the perspective of wanting to help in any way that I can, and in no way am I trying to take-away the amount of time, effort, creativity, patience that you've exhibited putting this together)
Hey Rock...just a side-note for us guys that don't either have the time or inclination to update our routine threads, maybe we can simplify the entire procedure and have the primary competition overall gains made? The reason I raise this option is due to the fact that I rarely go into my thread because my routine is ever-evolving but also remains basically the same...so re-writing it daily doesn't do it for me and I wouldn't start just for this, (or any other reason, for that matter).
We all have our own 'style' and 'availability' and trying to make it 'fit' is a huge challenge, so I'm just suggesting to simplifying to "Gains" since that's the common denominator here.
Feel free to tell me to eff-off
rocky1243;717996 said:We could simplify and say, "ok the best gains win". That does bring up other sort of problems, we would now require pictures etc. Cause anybody can come after a month claim a .5" and whos gonna argue otherwise? The journal sort of prevents that to an extent.
Anyhow the updating your journal everyday is a guideline not a rule. I don't think any of us did that this month. Could we consider thorough weekly updates to have the same value as daily updates? Theres ways we can go about it, I dont think straight up gains is it. It too easy to cheat and most importantly it takes the emphasis off the process. But if that is what the people want, we can do that.
kyomoto;718012 said:But you said gaining was the prize and if you're lying then you're lying to yourself. Pics aren't necessary for the prize that is just gains right? So....
Big Schwanz Acht;718025 said:funny what happens when you have an 'incentive' "If you want something to proliferate, subsidize it", can't remember who penned that and I believe it was in reference to either welfare or government supported housing (no matter) the saying holds-true to this situation too. I really don't care if someone's ego is too big to be honest and claim the 'winning' gain, the competition isn't about that for me and I'm pretty certain a lot of us...it's the fact that we're fileting ourselves in front of The Brotherhood (warts and all) for the opportunity to make some serious gains. It may happen faster for some, but the goal is the same...so if there's someone fudging for recognition (or a nominal prize) so be it. Just my $0.02
Big Schwanz Acht;718032 said:I don't think that little disagreement had anything to do with having a prize or not having a prize...water under the bridge. The Competition that you've graciously soldiered to The Troops, in its purest sense, is collectively gathering a like-minded group for a friendly challenge...for me, that's the beauty.
