Since Cholkavich is politely declining prize as thread host...
and I am sitting on all three of them already and don't want to walk down my massive gravel driveway, put one in my mailbox, walk back inside, walk back out to the mailbox later in the day, retrieve it, then open what I already owned and act excited...
maelwys gets the pick, yes? He's the highest outside us chumps, and he even let out a Rambo Roar at zero life!

Wait, what? I was helping a friend build a deck most of the day yesterday, so I haven't been paying close attention. If this is indeed true, I am astonished! Astonished I say!
I was very pleased with the quality and caliber of my competition.
God it seems like there is an endless stream of photos of that guy, ha ha.
BTW sorry if I missed it but what did Mike get as the prize, I hope it's the Explorer as everyone's life should be touched by one of those beauties!
An action picture will be posted of the prize when it arrives. I thought long and hard about it, but in the end, there was really only one clear choice.
How could I even touch such a perfect form with even a pixel?
These Forms are the essences of various objects: they are that without which a thing would not be the kind of thing it is. For example, there are countless tables in the world but the Form of tableness is at the core; it is the essence of all of them. Plato's Socrates held that the world of Forms is transcendent to our own world (the world of substances) and also is the essential basis of reality. Super-ordinate to matter, Forms are the most pure of all things. Furthermore, he believed that true knowledge/intelligence is the ability to grasp the world of Forms with one's mind.
A Form is aspatial (transcendent to space) and atemporal (transcendent to time). Atemporal means that it does not exist within any time period, rather it provides the formal basis for time. It therefore formally grounds beginning, persisting and ending. It is neither eternal in the sense of existing forever, nor mortal, of limited duration. It exists transcendent to time altogether. Forms are aspatial in that they have no spatial dimensions, and thus no orientation in space, nor do they even (like the point) have a location. They are non-physical, but they are not in the mind. Forms are extra-mental (i.e. real in the strictest sense of the word).
A Form is an objective "blueprint" of perfection. The Forms are perfect themselves because they are unchanging. For example, say we have a triangle drawn on a blackboard. A triangle is a polygon with 3 sides. The triangle as it is on the blackboard is far from perfect. However, it is only the intelligibility of the Form "triangle" that allows us to know the drawing on the chalkboard is a triangle, and the Form "triangle" is perfect and unchanging. It is exactly the same whenever anyone chooses to consider it; however, the time is that of the observer and not of the triangle.
That picture is fuggin mint maelwys!!! I'm sure the surrounding birds and squirrels were like.. "fooking humans are retarded!" but they are just jealous because you have the 1/1 Rambo Pad.
I was really considering the Explorer even though I'm not a huge fan of joysticks. But since Galacticlint went through all the trouble to make a pretty sweet custom Rambo III prize, I figured that had to be it. Then I had that picture in mind the moment I learned I won, so that clinched it.

Well done lads!
WHOOPS... just dropped a secret hint of who my magical internet Wayne's World 2 Indian spirit dream guide is.

Any suggestions on WFS#7?
Take the list of MD games and use random.org if all else fails. That's what I do sometimes when I can't decide what to play
Like my list of GEN/MD is 601 games.. I'd choose pick one integer from 1-601.. BAM! done!

OMG you did NOT pick the Explorer! I am shocked, but your pic makes up for your unfortunate decision.

I think he made the right choice
You have obviously never held, and felt the solid quality of the Champ Explorer.

Haha!
Behold- the waning and yet still present maddening desires of a thoroughbred accesssory enthusiast.
