Title: Octopink Giveaway, Potential Alpsification, and more inside!
Post by: nubbinator on Wed, 21 January 2015, 01:43:48
As promised, I am giving away my Octopink Skull along with some other caps.  The winner gets to decide if they want to see my try and turn the skull into an Alps compatible cap, complete with documentation of the process, or if they want it in boring MX.

How it works, nominate someone from the community to win and give a brief blurb why they should win.  No half-assed entries will be accepted.  The entries will be tossed into a random generator and the nominated person will win a cap as will the person who nominated them.  I'll cover First Class shipping unless a ton of people who win are outside the US.

Some rules:

- You can only win once, so if someone nominates you and you nominate someone and both get pulled, you only get one.  Sorry, but I want it to go to the maximum number of people.  Also, if the same person is nominated multiple times and wins multiple times, they still just get one.

- You can only nominate one person.

- Please don't flip the cap if you win.  I know I cant stop you, but it wouldn't make a happy nubs.  I'm sure everyone knows my philosophy on this.

- Must have been a member since 12/1/14 to win and with at least 50 posts (off topic counts toward that).  Spamming posts after it goes up won't count.

- Closes on January 31, 2015.  Winner will be announced in here.  If we have a live stream that day, I may draw them live if I'm part of it.

- There will be three sets of winners

I'm just gonna do it now. CPTBadass needs to get this. And he has no choice, you better alpsify it if you give it to him. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have a kingsaver, I wouldn't have blue alps (since I would've stayed with greens) and I wouldn't have the badass GH cap I have on my saver. His reviews are ridiculously thorough, he answers more questions than most people on here, and he's just an overall great guy. Get this to him.

Great Giveaway Nubbs!

I'd Like to nominate Swill - for the Octopink

Swills contribution to the community is well documented! His latest work with the plate building tool is a good example. I've not had much contact with him, but when i have had the opportunity it has always been met with welcome responses even when my questions may border on insane/stupid!

I nominate CPT for the ALPSified pink, and Jacobolus for the other 2. They're the two guys who correct me in simple questions.

I nominate tigersharkdude, he's been pretty awesome to me since i got here and he gave me a Hammer burlap bag for no reason other than me stating that i wish i had gotten one with my hellboy! very awesome of him.

I'd like to nominate Vesper because of
1. I think he's a neon bright color guy
2. He takes fabulous photo of his keyboards and blanks
3. More importantly, I love he and BC Tom Cruise GIF sparring. Those are really so much fun!!!

Let this man get his Octopink!

I nominate rowdy for the Octopink Skull (left in its natural and unadulterated MX form).

rowdy consistently makes constructive and/or supportive posts, and is keen to help new members.  Sometimes it seems like rowdy is the only one posting in New Members :))

rowdy has never flipped a Clack for profit.  In fact he has kept every single Clack he has been fortunate enough to collect!

According to the terms of the giveaway, I understand that if rowdy wins as a result of this nomination, he will receive the Octopink Skull, but I would not be eligible to win the complementary Reactor Core Green (GID) MX Bro Bot as nominator - rowdy and I are fine with that, just the Octopink Skull would be a very welcome addition to his collection.

Thank you very much nubbs for this fun little giveaway.

Good luck everyone, and I hope whoever does win enjoys their prize :D

The other person I thought of is BunnyLake. His Advent giveaway probably inspire CC Advent sale (or maybe just naming coincidence) which leads to nubbs giveaway. I'm not sure if Bunny still collects CC but I'd imagine it will go well with his Miami Twice. Hmmmm! Nice match!!

I also nominate bunnylake. Not only was the advent giveaway one of the most generous giveaways I have seen thus far in any online community, but he has worked tirelessly with the rest of the CTRLalt team to bring us multitudes of awesomeness with their GBs and online store that serves the community.

Oh that's hard too many people I want to nominate!


Alright I'll give it a try: I'll nominate Azhdar because he's the only geekhacker I met IRL. He's such a nice guy and he lent me a board of his even though we don't know each other for a long time. The first time we met he didn't hesitate to bring his full collection (there were two full bags and it seems pretty heavy) to my appartment so I could try them. He had to carry them the whole day at the Uni as we gathered later at the end of the day.


Here goes my nomination. Thanks nubbs for the giveaway. I've been in this community only for a few months and I'm quite amazed about the amount of giveaway running.
Title: Re: Octopink Giveaway, Potential Alpsification, and more inside!
Post by: Synjin on Wed, 21 January 2015, 06:52:02
I would like to nominate Melvang.
Not sure if anyone else will nominate him but I do feel that he definitely more than deserves to win a cap. He is a very knowledgeable person and is also very helpful when people do have questions pertaining to the stuff he knows. I have never built a keyboard before in my life up until the time when i started assembling my Viper KB and he has helped me extensively by answering pretty much every single question I had. Mel actually gave me a lot of information that was all very helpful and he even gave me his time by looking over some problems I had with my build that got me stuck doing nothing due to lack of info.

Hope you win dude  :thumb:

I nominate HoffmanClackster.
That guy is way cooler than that dumb circular HoffmanMyster. I would nominate that circle just to un-nominate him.

Although, seriously. Hoffman is a cool guy and it would be cool to hang out with him. His facial hair is also baller.

Title: Re: Octopink Giveaway, Potential Alpsification, and more inside!
Post by: HoffmanMyster on Wed, 21 January 2015, 10:09:26
Wake up people!

Okay!

I nominate CPTBadAss!  I don't even really need to explain why I nominate him, but between his love of Alps, knowledge, helping, ice cream, and spongebob, why would you nominate anyone else?  Seriously, this guy deserves an Alps Clack.  He doesn't get to choose whether you Alpsify it.  If this nomination isn't good enough, let me know and I'll flesh it out a bit more.  I just don't think I should have to do anything other than say his name, so this already feels a bit too much.   :rolleyes:

 :-*  Thanks nubs!
Title: Re: Octopink Giveaway, Potential Alpsification, and more inside!
Post by: munch on Wed, 21 January 2015, 12:11:58
I'm going to nominate CPTBadAss because he is such a cheerful joy-spreading fellow. I don't know him really, unlike you other guys, but he's always been super nice to everyone! :p
obviously, the choice will be the pink clack skull converted to ALPS, because he seems to like the clack skulls. and I'd like to see the project happen! I'm working on finding a Green ALPS board myself, so it would be cool to see if it's doable by even some idiot like me. imagine that Brobot on a Green-themed Green ALPS KingSaver!
his KingSaver is the only one I've seen on here, I think... it makes me a little gelatinous - but maybe one day. one day. for now...
well ****, I'm using a crappy rubberdome because I have ordered a board from Kaliet.
either way, I really hope he gets the ALPSified skull :p regardless of who wins it for him.

most of all though, you rock for doing this giveaway, some of the coolest caps out there in that photo!

I nominate exitfire because he seemed really excited about alps when I talked to him. At Hoff's meetup I spent some time talking to exit about his kingsaver and all the time and work he put into it to get it to where it is now. IIRC it has Blue alps and he talked very highly about them and was clearly very proud of the board. He also knew a good amount about other alps boards and had experience using them. Also around GH I see him helping people and answering questions. To sum it up exit is a cool guy who clearly loves alps and would make great use of this cap.

Thanks Nubbs!  :thumb:

I'd like to nominate Booper and Sent. (I'm ok with being bumped as a winner (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=67894.msg1603944#msg1603944))

Booper has been really pleasant in some chats we've had and jumped into the deep end with her groupbuy and keycaps. It's always nice to see new members getting involved and getting their hands dirty. And after working with Binge on some caps, I've got a newfound respect for people who make keycaps.

Sent's new blog has been a lot of fun and I like that he's trying to include members new and old. It's fun to get the backstory or just get to know some people in the community that isn't just keyboard related opinions. Plus he's fun to have a chat with. Very personable.




beast has provided a ton of stuff for the community and his potato pics have improved a ton. which gave me hope to better my potato pics.

Just dust your keyboard gear off before you take a picture and you'll have already improved more than The_Beast.

I would like to nominate CPTBadAss.

He was one of the first members to reach out to me and have a discussion with me about wet shaving after I posted a picture of a puck of shave soap I just received. He was truly interested and I enjoyed getting to discuss wet shaving with him as well as discussing keyboards. I was still new to keyboards and had very little knowledge about them. By reaching out to me, I felt welcomed into the community and really enjoyed getting to discuss something I enjoyed other than keyboards.

Thanks for doing this Nubs! Your generosity is astounding!  :thumb:

Well, my entry for this giveaway would have been very different had it not been for the actions of an incredibly generous member. Some back story: I've literally been into KBKs/KWKs since there inception, I bought 4 caps from his very first sale, which wasn't even really a formal sale, just a little something along with his standard classifieds thread. Ever since then, I've been obsessed with these caps (see KBK info thread (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=63685.0)). I've at least entered into every single sale and traded many caps to expand my collection. And Hipster was one of the nicest makers I've seen, whether it was a random "thank you" freebie, replacing my broken Tang!, or just talking. He never got too big for his britches, and even managed to keep prices low enough that anyone could participate. He also had some of the sickest package art I've seen (managed to save almost all of it), a skill acquired through his long and illustrious career as an artist of sorts. So, even though he isn't really around anymore, for my first nomination I'd like to nominate Hipsterpunks. My second nomination (yeah kick me out :p) came a little more recently (yesterday). As soon as the most recent KWK sale was announced, I had my calender marked. Didn't plan anything that day, set alarms, pretty much everything I could. But due to circumstances out of my control, I missed the sale. Moralles, a member I had never talked to previously, saw the post and offered me one of the caps he won in the sale. I tried my best to either decline (I definitely have quite a few :p) or at least tried to compensate him. He refused all of it. He also told me of how he had been giving away lots of his various artisans to his friends instead of just letting them sit in a drawer. So for his totally out-of-the-blue and awesome generosity, I nominate moralles.

I don't really care about this pissing contest nominating people for such and such, I just want to see a documented alpsification process.

Nubs, would you be willing to modify another cap to document the process if these end up staying cherry?

I nominate YongJK to get this. First of all, he taught me a lot of knowledge on building my keyboards. Besides that, he made a lot of good works (keyboard modding, custom keyboard assembly) almost foc! As you can notice from his sales thread, the prices he set are so damn cheap! He brought a lot of good stuffs with good price to the forum too. Check out his sales thread on Gh pad. Almost all are sold within a day.

I knew him irl because of this hobby and I know that he is in love of pink. Seeing him getting R1 & R2 valentines and pink 456 so hard, which took him more than few months in sourcing as none of us. He is looking for a pink coloured cc or bb since he started collecting keyboards. Unfortunately there is no one available for sales and only up for trading. I hope he can finally get one for free or at normal price.

P/S I love pink too but I guess it will not be my turn to get this. :( if he won then I still manage to take his for some quality photo shooting :)

I am going to have to nominate CPTBA on this one.  There are few on gh that push the love of alps as much as him and then there is the fact that the cap in question here is pink.  In addition, he would most likely do a full review and write up with nice pictures on the cap.

Although it would be neat to see an Alps Octopink just like the Buckling Spring Jack O Lantern that was made recently.  :confused:
It would also be nice if it went to someone who wouldnt modify it and kept it as the original stem that Clack made. Either would be cool.
I know 3Love would keep it original and cherish it in his rather large collection. Some may think of him as being able to get anything he wants but thats what we thought about many others, like eth0s told me he never had an octopink before I traded him one. It is hard to get this color in a nice collection. So I vote it goes to a collector who will cherish the color.  :cool:

I nominate Binge, as he has helped me tremendously on my keycap _idea_. I'm not even sure at this point if it's going to work or not, but I feel that without Binge, this project would have been doomed to begin with. Another reason why I nominate Binge is that he's usually in the IRC hanging out, sandy beaches and all that jazz, making the channel a really fun place. (I may add more stuff idk)

It would also be nice if it went to someone who wouldnt modify it and kept it as the original stem that Clack made. Either would be cool.
I know 3Love would keep it original and cherish it in his rather large collection. Some may think of him as being able to get anything he wants but thats what we thought about many others, like eth0s told me he never had an octopink before I traded him one. It is hard to get this color in a nice collection. So I vote it goes to a collector who will cherish the color.  :cool:

Rowdy wouldn't modify it - he would keep it as Clack intended!

I'd rather it go to a user who does something for the community than a collector.

Rowdy does something for the community, and hardly qualifies as a collector with the few CCs that he has!

I'll start off by saying I know I don't have 50 posts as I'm much more of a lurker but trying to become more active, however with that being a rule, if my submission gets picked feel free to give whatever I would have got to someone else, I just wanted to make sure I got in my nominee even though I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Brocaps:
Not only is he by far the active artisan cap maker currently around (ignoring Clack's amazing event going on right now), he is constantly adding more to the community and not just ours but keyboard communities in general, for example today he posted his new stumps on /r/mk even though they act childish and continually trash talk us and their entire existence seems to be to spam GeekWhack in their blind Ripster circlejerking. He even went as far as to promise he would update people on there when his sale went live over here. Always great to see someone being the bigger man. On top of that he's constantly trying to improve everything about his image, be it new designs, new stems, new sale methods, or just general great customer service.  He recognizes that sometimes people get really disheartened by not getting in on his sales and provides multiple opportunities after almost every single sale for people who are broless, slowly allowing everyone to get their treasured cap, and quite a few times at no cost to them.

When his new cap, stump, had some issues w/ topre boards he instantly offered returns/trade ins to anyone who had one, obviously something like this seems like the norm, but as someone who has never used ebay, or craigslist or anything like that having such a great experience interacting with some random guy selling pretty pieces of plastic on some forum really makes you feel welcomed and safe to fully take part in the community.  I could write more about what he has done for this community or even just keyboard enthusiasts in general but I'm very bad at formatting and I'm sure this is already a huge confusing run on sentence so I'll leave it at that.


Honorable Mentions (because I would feel bad for not mentioning them):
*Ctrlalt.io (more specifically bunnylake as he seems to be the face of the company): that advent give away, random steam give aways, and other give aways I've seen, as well as being one of the sexiest and easiest to navigate websites I've seen in awhile (as an ex web designer it always makes me happy to not have to search or cringe at colors on "nerd/enthusiast esq websites)
*Riotonthebay: For hosting his own, for the broless give away which resulted in my receiving my first artisan cap ever :D

Hey nubbs,


I would like to nominate codyeatworld as I think he does a lot of behind the scenes work for Ctrl.Alt who in turn is a big part of our community here. Coding isn't easy, and he does a lot of stuff to make everything run smooth, from Bro raffles to group buys. I think he deserves a reward or two!


I would like to use my reward as another nomination, this time to nominate intelli78. I really liked his recent post about being wallet-hacked, and he seems like a really chill guy in the community. He has been super helpful and always willing to talk, and I think his recent post took a lot of guts to post online.

I nominate hwood34

Hwood has helped me a lot since I joined this community, and is always a fun guy to chat with. He's really chill and has lots of knowledge on keyboards and photography. He's currently helping me make a good photography setup, so I can take good pictures of keyboards ;D

And I think hwood is clackless in the recent sales, plus he loves alps, so an alps click clack would be a really cool reward for all the work he's done. :thumb:

You want to adulterate CC's works of art?

Cut the frame of the Mona Lisa because it doesn't match the decor of your lounge room?

If CC wanted to make Alps Clacks, he would! :p

And actually I just realised that this is MX, but it can still live on, on my QFS along with the Nuclear Green set.  Octopink and Nuclear Green - a nice combination :D

I nominate rowdy for the Octopink Skull (left in its natural and unadulterated MX form).

rowdy consistently makes constructive and/or supportive posts, and is keen to help new members.  Sometimes it seems like rowdy is the only one posting in New Members :))

rowdy has never flipped a Clack for profit.  In fact he has kept every single Clack he has been fortunate enough to collect!

According to the terms of the giveaway, I understand that if rowdy wins as a result of this nomination, he will receive the Octopink Skull, but I would not be eligible to win the complementary Reactor Core Green (GID) MX Bro Bot as nominator - rowdy and I are fine with that, just the Octopink Skull would be a very welcome addition to his collection.

Thank you very much nubbs for this fun little giveaway.

Good luck everyone, and I hope whoever does win enjoys their prize :D

+1
This guy deserves it.
(Good luck mang)

I'd rather it go to a user who does something for the community than a collector.

This reminds me of one person who is always behind the scene who has contributed big time to the community but is often not known, because he was always stuck in a dungeon with all the soldering iron and machines without any internet connection. He even recently surface to apologize to people but I'd imagine he shouldn't need to, since he has tried his best. I am not sure if he has any Clack, as he hardly surface himself to the Therapy thread or the Clackvent, spending most of his time churning out JD40s. But I think he definitely deserve a skull for his effort. He's no other than mr margo baggins.

Taking action to contribute especially as a new member is admirable.

I'd love to nominate VesperSaint

I've never met him, properly introduce myself or even in a proper long chat with him
But one thing I know , he's humble, good photographer and has a very good taste in term of matching colours (keycaps) on all his boards
He also has a very respectable collection from my pov
It always bring me smiles and excitement every time he post a photo or even looking at his signature

(but I still love Hoff too)

If this is agreeable:

1)BunnyLake, for being the truest gent. He's been above and beyond generous, and from just the few interactions I've had with him, I can tell I see eye to eye with this person.

2)JQuinn, because chastised by RNGefjun doesn't even begin to describe it lol

i know this was already mentioned quite a few times (mostly by himself!) but i would like to throw another nomination for rowdy for taking upon himself the dirty role of being the forum walmart door greeter for newcomers like me. geekhack seems to have this elitist image that puts off alot of potential readers (but perhaps in a good way) and having someone like rowdy being there welcoming and answering noob questions, which may have already been asked a few thousand times, gives it enough friendly vibe to be worth the stay.

Me too and I don't get it.  I dove right in and felt welcomed when I came.  I saw a lot of hate on /r/mk before coming, but never saw any of that attitude.  The only time I ever see it pop up is when someone new comes in and basically demands free stuff or is standoffish from the get go.  If you come in with sincere and honest questions, there's usually someone there to help out.

That was my experience as well (even including coming from /r/mk).  Granted, that was a couple years ago at this point, and things have changed a bit.  And it usually only takes one bad experience to taint the experience of the whole site, so there's that too.

I nominate Sent.

His work with [CTRL]Alt is doing wonders for me.

The blog he works on is something to look forward to that, in my opinion, brings to light the parts of the community we seem to forget. His interviews bring so much discussion about what's going on with the community, recent events, vendors and just GeekHackers in general. A lot of the times i seem to forget that people like BunnyLake, PunksDead, and other popular members, are exactly that. Members. They arent a business or something like that, but they are still community members that would like to be involved like everyone else instead of them constantly having to think of a full PR response when they want to post anything.
Much more respect and understanding for everyone since you never hear their side.

Going back to the point, his work has brought me to getting more involved in the community. I post a bit more often, get involved a bit more by helping others out when I can and just see myself as a different person.

Sent was nice enough to send me a gift for being a runner-up on the Christmas contest and it ended up meaning a lot more to me than winning the contest would have.
Pictures here: http://imgur.com/a/S464t

Sent is a nice guy trying to get the community to get involved via the blog and he's doing some great work there

Honorable mentions are the [CTRL]Alt crew.

I dont want anything from this. Just want to show my appreciation.

Toss my winnings (if any) over to Signature for trying to raise money for Psybin when he lost his ring.

I would like to nominate Rowdy.

One of the reasons I am still here is because rowdy was so generous and kind answering all my questions when I was a noob.  He continues to be a wonderful person to new members and always makes them feel comfortable and helps them find the information they are looking for.  He always has a positive attitude and he is always constructive with his comments. He is a wonderful ambassador for our community.

When I am having a bad day I go to the 'just post awww' thread and his excellent contributions always bring a smile to my face. :)

If that is not enough, I know he appreciates CCs work, but does not always have the means to be able to throw his hat into the ring when there are sales.  When he can try for CCs, he is geographically disadvantaged since he is in Australia and the latency is very high and unpredictable.

I'd like to nominate Vesper because of
1. I think he's a neon bright color guy
2. He takes fabulous photo of his keyboards and blanks
3. More importantly, I love he and BC Tom Cruise GIF sparring. Those are really so much fun!!!

Let this man get his Octopink!

Thank you so much, Belfong~  :-* You are always so nice and heartfelt in your reactions to my posts. Not only that, you're always so very generous in your responses to my photos~ I know they aren't of the greatest quality but I do try my best to try provide something that is unique or something people can enjoy for a different feel  :-[

I'm glad you enjoy my GIFs LOLOL! I always worry that I'm pissing somebody off, but anything to keep a smile on your face <3 <3 <3

Awesome giveaway Nub!
I'd love to nominate VesperSaint

I've never met him, properly introduce myself or even in a proper long chat with him
But one thing I know , he's humble, good photographer and has a very good taste in term of matching colours (keycaps) on all his boards
He also has a very respectable collection from my pov
It always bring me smiles and excitement every time he post a photo or even looking at his signature

(but I still love Hoff too)

jokrik~ it's interesting that we've never really formally introduced ourselves but our conversations have always been so intimate and heartfelt! I guess this is the power of having similar passions and interests :D It also helps that we have similar tastes in styles and themes!!! :)) Your boards > My boards. Not even being humble :P I'm honored that you think my collection is respectable :P

I hope that I'll be able to post more photos and posts that'll bring smiles to your face <3  I'll also have to pay more attention to my signature!
