I'd like to see the Booby Prize be a different wooden item every year. You guys have to educate me on the tradition of this type of prize. I thought the spoon had some significant meaning. If it hasn't then there are a whole plethora of wooden kitchen utensils that I can move on to for next year's prize if there is enough interest. I can make one for Vector War XI too. It's easy, as I just need to add an "I" after this years engraving to make it work for next year. Since the price is called wooden spoon prize, I thought the joke would be lost if it wasn't an actual wooden spoon. Can other wooden kitchen utensils be used and still preserve the dishonor of the prize? |

I don't think anyone would complain if it is a spoon every year or different utensil every year. I'd vote for whatever is easiest for you.  |

Would be very cool if you (Tony) could provide such a prize every year. Personally, I think it is supposed to be a wooden spoon but like you (Tony) I've learnt about the wooden spoon prize just recently. |

Behind the scenes the three winners (rank 1-3) of the Vector War have been contacted and decided on their prizes. Chainsaw : I've contacted you today. Next step is the prize lottery. All qualified participants can win a copy of Vectorblade (Complete in Box = CIB) donated by Malban. Two exceptions: a.) People who own a copy of Vectorblade CIB, already. b.) People who have won and chosen a prize, already. Please note that the wooden spoon is not considered as a prize. Currently, following people participate the prize lottery: 50tbrd Chainsaw departmentofpinball eyelyft71 fruktodlaren gliptitude jbrodack Len Moyu mozie Munch nexus6 playvectrex Rapetou33 rossross SiLic0ne t0aD tatanga toppsikrett tzelivector VectorWolf Could you please all check and let me know in case you're supposed to be removed from the list? Else no action is required. The prize lottery will be on the coming week-end and result is posted here. |

Almost forgot:
Vector War and Vectrex keyrings/dog tags
Tony ( fruktodlaren ) has donated the aluminum cartridge shell and the wooden spoon. Last year, Tony has crafted Vector War and Vectrex keyrings (dog tags) and some of them are still available:  The keyrings are made of aluminum and are 4.5cm x 2cm in size. Four different styles are available. Anyone who has qualified in Vector War X and hasn't got a Vector War or Vectrex keyring, yet, can get a keyring for free. If you want a keyring please send me a PM with your postal address and first choice (top-left, top-right, bottom-Left, bottom-Right) and second choice (in case your desired keyring should no longer available). |

Besides Vectorblade, is there not also two more random prizes since 5 prizes were donated? I have a boxed Vectorblade (NOT CIB anymore, I've even ripped the FLASH off the board and reprogrammed it), but if I was lucky enough to win it I was thinking of doing something special with it... not selling it or keeping it, but either donating it or using it as a way to generate Vectrex content on youtube. That said, you make the rules  My kids (Munch and VectorWolf) each have their own Vectrex, and do not have a CIB Vectorblade. |

Should be fun My daughter wanted to eat her cereal with the one you made, so now I can make a set |

So I should be taken out of this raffle. However, the fourth prize (whichever one it is) will still be drawn among all the remaining ones, right? |

tatanga, gliptitude: Thank you for letting me know regarding Vectorblade. playvectrex, @tatanga: You counted right - there are still two more prizes that have been donated. These two prizes will go in separate raffles.

I should be removed from the list since I own Vectorblade already.
Len and Moyu do not, so they can stay on the list.
