Hello good people of Build-Off land!
Soooo.... with some behind-the-scenes conversations with myself and @Alex Xander a plan is forming.
First off, looks like January to April annually is the winner, so it makes sense that becomes the new thing. The 'Annual Review' voting plan is also still a great idea ( @Bruce Johnson 's, so no surprise there!) with excellent merit, and can be revisited later in 2026 with an effort to pull things together into a vote in January 2027.
Because my own recovery has gone pretty well, and I've already got the structure of the build-off 'project' ready to go, I'm happy to post up the threads and keep things up to date with Alex's support. It would be great if we had a couple more volunteers who could also be involved behind-the-scenes and help monitor and keep things on track. This would not have to be a majorly involved role, it's mostly to help out if things go off the rails for me. My health is 'good' but there is still some tenuousness and I would feel terrible if I made things fail AGAIN. If you're willing to be one of these supports, please feel free to put your name forward here, or in a PM to me or Alex.
I have not heard concerns about the categories of the build-off, and they were developed iteratively, so I'm still of the belief that they capture pretty much every type of build that someone could come up with - if you have specific feedback on these, please bring it forward! The categories are:
There is still copious information available in the Build Off wiki here for reference:
Huge thanks to @Flamingo21 for creation and maintenance of these wikis.
I'll dual post this to the two current WBO threads for reference.
