Re: Prepare yourselfs

I for one am excited.

Some people may call it showboating, but what can you do in a competition of this size? Not every team can instantly post a picture and expect oohs and ahhs, sometimes it takes a little more. There are dozens of people and teams I would criticize for self promotion (myself included) before a team that's proud of what they accomplished and is just trying to get noticed in the flurry of activity that is build season.

That said, Arefin is right....I'm expecting to be amazed. Realize that with this utilization of promotion that you are building up something huge, and if you don't deliver, you are shooting yourself in the foot for the next time that you decide to build up buzz, because you will hit diminished returns.

Don't apologize, just deliver. Show it off already!
