yeah, his two-dimensional time is a doozy to try to line up with our three-dimensional time. The temporal mismatch is a pain in the ass.

Temporal mismatch.

It ain't easy being two dimensional, but time to me is sorta like how the fifth dimension is to all you.
Absolute mystery. Couldn't tell you what it is. Is that like...extra extra up and down?

Flatland : A Romance of Many Dimensions is an 1884 science fiction novella by the English schoolmaster Edwin Abbott Abbott. As a satire, Flatland offered pointed observations on the social hierarchy of Victorian culture. However, the novella's more enduring contribution is its examination of...

Players, haters, and po-taters! Stickman and I have reached an agreement.
First, a recap. The point of this contest was to see what y'all could build with parts you've already got in your inventory. Why a pure inventory build? Tariffs, mostly. There are various threads here with everyone griping about it. The other kicker in this contest was to encourage memes and to roast each other and their builds. Nearly right out of the gate, we got IAIGF vibes going which was on the surefire path to get nuked by Robert. Don't get me wrong: there were some goooood LOLs that happened, but they got out of hand and possibly discouraged others from engaging in this forum. Fortunately for this thread, those vibes vanished seemingly overnight.
Eventually, builds started trickling in. We had nearly 2 dozen contestants submitting close to 3 dozen build. Some were super polished, some were half-assed, some were whole-assed, and others were nothing more than a middle finger in the spirit of the Hater's Ball. Builds were then being submitted almost up to the wire with our deadline.
Nearly all of you have been really good sports about this contest. It was told right off the bat that your builds would get roasted and for the most part, they were. Roasts/hate were put in to encourage camaraderie and further engage in this community, but not everyone sees eye to eye here. Some people just have thicker skin and others are more sensitive. We're all still friends here I hope
.
Now the part y'all have been waiting for...the WINNERS! Since @Stickman393 and I were co-judging this contest we decided to announce winners separately. 2-D Stick will be in charge of all the hatred that flooded this thread. PMs will be sent for all winners to ensure you receive the prizes.
In 2nd place, we'd like to award this to our very own @jessenator for his Cornish Muff clone. This build was as close to a nearly perfect factory finish as one could get, both inside and out and incredibly difficult to find a fault with. Spectacular soldering, wiring, and enclosure art design! Well done!
We'd also like to acknowledge a 3rd place in this contest. While we gave everyone a very loose set of constraints, there were those that decided to forgo a PCB and attempt a vero/stripboard build. This method of building requires a different set of skills when it comes to details, particularly offboard wiring. If you don't plan it out or not really know what you are doing it will turn into a spaghetti monster/Rat's nest super quickly. We want to give a huge shout out to @owlexifry for his EQD Black Ash stripboard build. He also went 1 step further in breadboarding it before committing to solder. Although the enclosure outside was simple, the wiring job inside was simply the best in this category of builds. This was no easy feat to accomplish. For you Owelie, we would like to award you a $25 PPCB gift card! Congrats!
@Stickman393 would you do the honors of announcing our top hater or haters?

What an honor!
I’m thrilled y’all liked my build, especially with some other really fantastic builds to go up against.
Big thanks to @BuddytheReow, et al. for hosting this contest— brought a lot of fun to the forum over these past few months, and made it feel a bit more like the old days! It motivated me to get out of a bit of a build-free slump, and I’m sure it got some other folks to hear their irons back up after extended hiatuses.

oh my god!
no way. out of all the builds submitted on this contest i did not expect this to happen. i was honestly just keen to have another excuse to do a vero build and see how it goes. thrilled to accept third place!
many thanks to @BuddytheReow , and @Stickman393 for their efforts and gracious persistence in running the thread/contest. i’m not sure i would have the patience to deal with all of that, so well done!

Gents! I would first and foremost like to announce that there was only one man in the entire thread that truly deserved to be named "the most hateful man in the thread".
And that individual is me. Your Master Announcer, Nascent Sorter of the Thicc, Ingenious, Crass and Killer. Congrats to STICKMAN393!!
See ya'll next time!
*Crickets* *crickets*
HOWEVER! Seeing as how I'm now being told that I can't very well send a box to myself, I decided that I would need to judge instead on the quality of memes and hate submitted. Which I guess was the point. Semantics.
With that being said...fuckin...I dunno what to say here folks. We have a TIE.
OUR FIRST WINNER:
@jcpst. You, sir, made me fall out of my chair laughing with one...simple...undeniably well placed meme. I am of course referring to post #151:
Poor ol monkey. Love ya buddy. Keep reading, we gotcha covered.
This. Short. Sweet. Says everything it needs without even adding a caption. Well played, sir. Well played.
Also, for supplying us with a new beginning to the chorus of Limp Bizkit's Break Stuff;
You clever son of a bitch. It took me five minutes to figure out that this was supposed to be sounded out like "Gee" and "See". Mostly because I am two dimensional and therefore, of incomprehensible density.
Congrats buddy. You win for best single post of hatitude. You win Stickman's box of hate.
NEXT! OUR ALSO FIRST WINNER, WHO IS BEING MENTIONED SECOND ONLY BECAUSE I DECIDED TO GO IN QUASI- ALPHABETICAL ORDER. BUT WHO WINS JUST AS MUCH AS jcpst.
This one might be a little bit of a shocker to y'all here.
Honestly: I didn't believe it myself.
How? How could this happen? I DEMAND ANSWERS, DAMMIT!!!
But there is no doubt about it. One member packed the most laughs into his posts. While some may be lost to the recesses of Robert's magic "oh fuck don't post that thing in my businesses' public forum!" wand: if we are grading on the merits, his posts were cutting, and undeniably funny.
That is MY PERSONAL NEMESIS *shakes fist*: @ICTRock.
And before y'all get going on your conspiracy theories about the 4D chess I'm playing here against the man that I AM THE MOST LIKELY TO DIE WHILE FIGHTING IN A DUEL WITH...remember that I am just a simple two dimensional stickman who was judging purely on the merits. Dude won.
Two standouts:
Look...If you're starting to detect a pattern here, know that you're not the only one. Seems like my preferred genre of humor is "let's dunk on @Big Monk".
Probably something to talk about with my therapist.
REGARDLESS! Hit me up dude. I got a box of goodies for ya!
HONORABLE MENTION: @Paradox916. His entry was hateful, and he out posted the rest of you fuckers. Paradox, my friend, I've got a special little boxie for you. Hit me up.
SPEAKING OF @Big Monk: buddy. Your memes may have been hot garbage, but goddammit I appreciate you and your good sportsmanship. You are a gentleman and a scholar, and this thread would not have been the same without you. I want to name you our official whipping boy, whom is one of my favorite presences on this forum. Dude has incredible build skills and is always a bro. I got a special little boxie of hate for you too to show my appreciation.
