Word of Mouth Contest Patch - Contestants Only Poll (Closes 18:00 GMT 26th November 2024)

[MJF9]

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.  

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.  PLEASE NOTE: This is the NEW version below.

• No extra cost
• Expect 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!

The poll seems to have left out option 3. 

If any of the mods can fix it, grazie

If it's unfixable, and you want option 3, don't vote above... just DM me and @beautiful_FrEaK please.  Grazie

EDIT - Fixed!

Well, that's more obvious than I thought

[MJF9]

Thanks for the votes folks... time is up... 

Winner winner pizza dinner 🍕

Option 2 - The Sufu WoM contest patch, foil stamp version 

No objections received.  Same patch for all.  Extra $7 each.  

Sorry we had 4 contestants who missed out - we're up against it for time hence the deadline  

I'll update Simone...

[CSL]

Are we sending the $7 directly to Simone? I might need a reminder of the email address.

I assume it's just added onto the second payment after he's finished with the jeans?

@frank Yes - thanks 

@CSL we'll send a reminder out when the final payment is due. Everyone will need to also give their Superfuture name, plus real name and address to Simone (in the PayPal payment if there free format text?) so he can make sure you all get the right jeans.
