It was a tough choice for me between Darknite667's and Muken's custom Phantoms. I think I am going to have to nominate Muken's custom stock class Phantom. I think that marker looks awesome! That is a dream setup one day.

May MOTM - The Middle Ages
Deciding the cutoff here is a little more tricky… how about 2000 - 2015.
post up your best shooter.
Week One (give or take) - Posting:
Any person on this board may submit an a marker of the chosen category. Post one photo of one marker. Along with it, include a build/spec list if you like. You must own the marker.
Week Two (give or take) - Nominating:
All persons who wish to vote will choose a marker they wish to see move forward to the final poll round of the contest. You may NOT pick yourself in this round. If you already see a marker moving forward, you don't have to post, as you'll have an opportunity to vote the final vote. It only takes one vote here to advance a marker to a final round.
Week Three and Four - Polling:
I will create a new thread titled, [POLL] MOTM [month][category]. In this thread you will be able to vote, in a poll, to determine who has the Marker of the Month and will advance to the Marker of the Year contest.
Additional Notes:
- If there is a tie at the end of the poll week, a tie breaker will be held.
- Only the top 10 (number of likes) nominated markers will advance into a poll round. If there are two markers tied for the tenth spot, or three for ninth, etc etc... they will be excluded. This is the easier way to make it work with the forum polling options.
- With the forums new "comment" feature, it doesn't make my life any harder if you want to commend on a specific marker, but please do keep these to "comments" and not "quotes" or additional posts.
- I ask that all "posts" only be submissions.As mentioned above, comments are fine.
- If you win a MOTM contest, you must still own the marker for the MOTY contest or your slot will go to the runner up (this will trickle down). (If second place was tied, the month will just be excluded.)
- If you have any questions, please PM me.Last edited by Sharkytrav; 05-02-2022, 02:42 PM.Comment

I'll nominate Sharkytrav s Joy Division A1. Just such an iconic marker from an iconic team.

Some of the better turnouts for submissions last year came from Single Tube, Stacked Tube, Triple Tube prompts. Lets revive that and start the Q3 theme off right with a showdown of your favorite single tube markers.
We are talking BUSINESS tubes. There can be as many side cars, feeds, etc, on your marker as you want. Also, we had a Twin Ion last time. That is also acceptable and highly encouraged.

Cockers, Spyder and Blazers, oh my! They can be pump, electro, mech, it’s all good.
No twin phantoms or side by side ions this time around. I say yes to an autococker with two barrels or hurricanes, etc.

3+ business tubes here. Angels, AKA stuff, etc. I can't thing of anything that had more than 3 tubes that fired more than 1 ball at a time, but if it is out there, now is the time to show it off.

I saw the recent semi-suggestion for a brass MOTM topic. Love it, let’s do it!

Lets have some broad topics to close out the year. For November, we are looking at those nice subtle paint jobs. One color, maybe a nice fade or accent part-swapped, anything else that is mostly unassuming.
Leave your splashes and tiger stripes and and galaxy ano on the shelf for next month.

Splash, galaxy, aurora (please, somebody), oil slick, lightning, all that busy anodizing and coating is what we want to see this month.
slightly truncated timetable this time so we can fit MOTY in the mix. Let’s say a week for each segment- submissions/ nominations/ poll.
get it going!

While we wait on the last couple days of MOTY to finish, lets get things rolling in 2023 with some fun topics. Anson threw this one my way toward the end of last year and it is a great idea!
Heavy setup- Looking for an arm workout this month. A built-in '78 Suburban to carry your dual A5's doesn't count. I am also discouraging stuff that goes on your back like remote tanks and that backpack hopper.
I think an important note is for people to judge the setups using your own methods. Someone will want to vote for the most weight. Someone else will vote for the coolest stuff that turned out to be really heavy. And someone else may go by nostalgia, remembering how awesome it was to see whatever setup on the field back in the 90's, 00's, or whenever.
Post a picture of the weight if you want. It my tip the scales in your favor for some voters. It is not necessary though. I can imagine the workout I'd get with a Shoebox, VL3000, and old massive AA tank.

Ha, well that DOES seem like a great idea! I'll think about it now that we have unlimited poll options.
What I do like about the current method is that we get to have some community vetting before the decision round. The nominating round has eliminated some options that I really really liked, and let through some that I wouldn't have expected. Even in months with fewer than 10 submissions, I think nominations gives the community a chance to sweep duds and any unwanted cheeky entries out of the pool first.
Also, possibly most importantly, it takes the responsibility off my shoulders for allowing or disallowing entries into the final poll

Smokestacks and drop forwards cmon out! How tall does your setup get? Let’s limit this to one drop forward. a funny photo circulated a few months back where someone put like 30 drops on top of each other. Cute, but not for our purposes here.

A somewhat un-MCB topic this month- What are you taking to the field ( or displaying on the wall) that is unchanged from the base model? No swapped lpr, no updated grips, no shaved sear, no private label versions. Lemme know if you have questions.
