May MOTM nomination thread

OK, there have been some rule changes so please read up:

This will be a blind vote contest. Do not post pics in this thread, PM them to me

Total of 5 spots per month. How many spot are left will be posted in this thread.

Don't post in here saying that you are PMing me pics.

Once the 5 nominees are entered, I will post the voting thread and the markers will simply recieve a number. Once the contest is over, I will edit the OP and list the marker owners.

Once you have won the MOTM contest, you must wait 2 months to enter again, unless you have another marker.

This contest is for Alpha Blacks, Bravo Ones, Project Salvos, Sierra Ones, Carver ones, 98's, and the mag fed versions of those markers only.

Markers should be functional and complete. Please no mockups or empty shells that look great but can't fire a paintball.

Also, in the matter of fairness, no claiming spots. First Five pics Pmed will be the first five used.

Since there won't be any pics posted in this thread, to keep it at the top, off topic posts are allowed and encouraged.

Here we go

then again....X7og.net has 100x the forum members we do..so i doubt everyone knows everyone like on here...it was usually the regulars on the old forum that participated in the motm.....hopefully that will change with the new home...see more innovated, unique US Army markers...

... wasnt the whole point of a blind vote NOT knowing whos in it?

you should add this in your message "Markers should be functional and complete. Please no mockups or empty shells that look great but can't fire a paintball" :)

done.

Hmm, sounds good. And I didn't know you could compete again the next month if you had another marker? I can't compete, but I can't wait to see the pics!

Great suggestion. Still working on the rules. If you guys have more ideas for the rules, please speak up.

Please don't post photos inside your house. You're a paintballer, get outside!


Can that be a rule haha?

no. But i get what you mean. This is a marker contest not a photography confest

Ahh alrighty then. Well I still can't wait to see those pics! When does the voting start? (I know in May, just which week?)

well its still middle of april soooooo

Good point david...outside pics show up so much nicer than inside...must be the natural light

i know right....why show bullets and casing when markers dont fire these things lol..cracks me up when peeps spill a crap load of spent casings around a marker and they still have a hopper attached

We actually usually run a month ahead on the contests. Works better that way during the holiday season.

Yes I agree but it should still be considered in the photo when voting

Marker
composition
added items

I have seen people with GREAT markers that go out and take just a photo of the marker on the ground
and they lose as they dont put thought into the photo
not saying the photo has to be pro, just saying its more then just the marker that makes the photo

In addition you don't want to add things that take away from the marker...ie secondary weapons....

Yes this, I really do hate when people throw more then one marker into the photo
it takes away from the attention it deserves.

Hopefully this one will liven up the motm some...get them creative juices flowing lol
