Well it's ordering time for the trophies and I'm unsure what people would like the best... and there's pros and cons of each...
1 - Metal Trophy Cup - no cheap plastic here, we go with metal on a base... like we did last year... we went for the big wow factor with last year's trophies because it was the first time...
Pros: freaking huge, you could probably drink beer from it or the blood of your enemies.
Cons: freaking huge
2 - Plagues - nice laser engraved... marble look on nice wood, so not cheap looking at all
Pros: not so freaking huge, can mount on the wall (the big metal cups are much harder to display), less expensive than a giant metal cup.
Cons: a smaller looking award, no way to drink the blood of your enemies
3 - Glass awards - Smaller than the big cups (about 1/2 to 3/4 the size) these can be either smoked glass, clear class, jade glass etc.
Pros: Smaller scale, still look nice
Cons: can be pricey depending on style/size
4 - Obelisks - these are... well obelisks... with laser etching on them... kind of like a cross between a trophy and a plague almost... can be either black marble or kind of a brown stone
Pros: smaller than a trophy but still give that trophy look, albeit a skinny one, can double as a club for protection during a home invasion
Cons: if you don't like obelisks, you may not like the look.
So I've got to order these this week to make sure they will get in before the tourney... I originally was just going to order the standard, similar to what I ordered last year... but then started thinking of different options... and not everyone may want a giant freaking trophy (whereas some people really would!)
So if you want your opinion known, say it quick....
