Word of Mouth - Contest Feeler Thread

[MJF9]

The aspiration for Dec start remains though not committed as it's a one man show and there's quite a bit to get through... I made the point to Simone we all should be ok for jeans in any case 😉... fingers crossed though eh!!

Simone needs to work on his Photoshop skills. 😂

Hello contestants,

Great news… Simone is on track to finish sewing all the jeans by the end of the coming week 👏 👏 👏… he will then sort out the patches… and over the past few days, Simone, @beautiful_FrEaK and I have been discussing exactly that...

To date, Simone’s patches have been made using a rubber stamp. We think it looks cool, though the graphics are less sharp than on patches made using a foil stamp.  So now Simone’s having a foil new stamp made for his standard (non-competition) jeans.  See pic.

Our current competition default is a rubber stamped patch. 

I asked if a foil stamp was an option.  It is.  However, there’s a one-off cost of 190 Euros which we can’t expect Simone to cover... noting we’re already getting a good deal.  Therefore, if we want a foil stamped patch, we could split this cost 26 ways, which would mean an extra 7 Euros a person.  

@beautiful_FrEaK and I agree that it’s best to put this out there for a good ole Sufu vote… what could possibly go wrong 😉 ??!!!  We could have stayed quietly rubber lipped, but imagine the guilt we’d have had to carry for the rest of our lives… 

To avoid production delays, we must make a decision by Tuesday 26^th November.  Polls will close at 18:00 GMT (UK time).

OK… below are 3 options and proposed guidelines / rules…  

Options

1.       The Sufu WoM contest patch, rubber stamp version – our current plan

• No extra cost
• Cool image, but less sharp than with a foil stamp.  Perhaps this will look cooler

2.       The Sufu WoM contest patch, foil stamp version 

• Pay an extra 7 Euros each = about $7 = about £6.  190 Euros in total.
• Same cool image.  We do not have a foil stamped patch example available to compare the difference v the rubber stamp.  Only your imagination.  Expected sharper resolution.

3.       The WoM standard non-contest patch, foil stamp version (see below NEW VERSION)

• No extra cost
• Sharper resolution
• It’s not exclusive to the competition

Let’s keep the decision making process simple i.e.

• All contest jeans will have the same patch
• One vote per contestant (non contestants, no vote... we'll know 😉)
• Contestants vote for either option 1, 2 or 3
• If contestants miss the deadline, then they lose their vote unfortunately.  We want to avoid delays to Simone’s schedule.
• The winner is the option with the most votes by the deadline time i.e. 18:00 GMT (UK time) on Tuesday 26^th November
• In the event of a tie, I’ll ask our lead judge Maynard to toss a coin to pick the winner
• If option 2 wins, and someone can’t make the extra cost, then please let me and Tilmann know by DM and we’ll discuss what to do
• If I’ve forgotten an important clause or condition... tough sh!t

And if you’re still reading this and haven’t fallen asleep… you’re already a winner in my eyes 

Now I'm going to set up a poll and keep my fingers crossed it works... if it fails, we'll use DMs... let's see!

If the standard (non-contest) patch is an option, that will always be my preference…
