Title: Thing of the Week
Post by: Incredirobotwars on August 23, 2011, 02:05:42 PM: I thought this might be a bit of fun, something to keep us talking about new stuff all the time. You PM me your nomination for the 'Thing of the Week', followed by a paragraph stating why you think it should be the topic we discuss on this thread. I will go through the PMs on Sundays, and the 'TotW' will be announced on Monday. I will quote your PM as part of the announcement, so be careful what you write. I will only be taking this week's nominations until Thursday, Noon (GMT), because I leave on holiday then, and I'm just going to do a quick test for this week. The announcement will be made by G.K. on Friday, and will be on some other weeks when I'm not around.

Well, PM your nominations to me, and we'll see how this goes.

EDIT: BTW, the 'TotW' can be absolutely anything, as long as your argument for it stands. It can be an object, a place, a game, a video or a series on YouTube, a news article, a website, even a GTM member. So, there's a few ideas for you.

Welcome to the first ever 'TotW' announcement. The official 'Thing of the Week is...
The Big Red Button - nominated by Hydro.
Here is his post:

The big red button is not to be ****ed with, it is some bad sh**.

The Big Red Button is a tool of destruction, evil lair design, and trolling. Therefore, it is used by the likes of all evil villains, rocket engineers, Naryar, and people on the chatbox.
So, feel free to discuss the Big Red Button here on the 'Thing of the Week' thread.
So, until next week, goodbye from me and G.K.
:)BRBN

Nominations for next Monday go until Sunday September 4th, noon GMT, so please PM IRW for those.

Discussion now open!

Post by: NFX on August 28, 2011, 12:35:42 PM: Surely, people are going to be looking for Big Red Buttons, and attempting to stop people from pressing them. Why not swap it for a small blue switch and throw people off the scent?

Alright! Made it to another week with those nominations. I'm hoping this will become more popular as more of you PM nominations more regularly. Anyway, here is the winner.
Mr. AwesomeSauce! His nomination being...
...Robot Arena 2!
Here was his nominating PM:
Quote from: Mr. AwesumSauce on August 29, 2011, 04:19:25 PM
I would like to submit Robot Arena 2 to be thing of the week because that is what this forum is about. 'Nuff said.
Well, you all already know about it, so as MAS said...''Nuff said.'
