    Picking the Fearmonger for nostalgia’s sake. That was one of the first builds I ever read. I’ve always been a fan of Henson. Even if Roleplay wasn’t something he focuses on to huge extent, his builds would be easily adapted for them.

    I seem to have done fairly well picking out people's 'first' or early builds, completely random though I suppose the odds are insanely high with Legendary Builds. I just love the Fear Mechanic or builds that use it, and Henson's work, in general, is just awesome because of the quality and quantity of what he produced. I think only Albino and Chris Diokno have anywhere near the number of builds that Henson does, though neither have as many high ranking builds. Still, that kind of effort is immense and awesome and inspiring and (insert more buzzwords).

    Gotta say, for me my favourite part of this is sort of looking at the history behind the builds and the builders. Very fun both to see how builds have evolved and just to remind me where we started.

    Man, it's really hard for me to not vote for a VladB build. Like you said DB, he wasn't here for long but he basically turned CB upside down with his insanely high quality builds right out the gate. I mean even with builders like Ponty or Zach you can see their skills improve as time goes on, but this guy knocked it out the park from day one.

    That being said, I think I'm gonna vote for The Elder One. It just came so out of left field for me, I had to reread it once or twice straight after just to get my head around how awesome it is. Plus I looooove naturey builds, and with the different forms and all it's very much my thing.

    I'm kind of waiting for someone to not provide an excellent response and just say 'cause I like Mason' or something :P I mean, the more I look at everything the more tempted I am to start jumping from build to build on a random basis and just whatever I end up with is the winner of my vote. Then again, going to stick with Vlad's but I'm seriously tempted to change it to The Elder One, because it really is a bloody good build :)

    Just wanted to give a gentle reminder about liking these builds. We've got some super high quality stuff here, but it's only Legendary based on the old likes, and giving  them a like can help them out here as well :D So even if you liked them on Ning, then like 'em again if you...well liked the build.

    Really glad that the polls going so well on a more personal note. Getting 14 is a little above my expectations and the 60 views (of which I claim 20 :P) is excellent. Still got a few days left for the poll with the weekend covering some of them, so I'm hoping to hit more :D Thanks to everyone who's dropped by and voted/commented/liked a build, really great to see.

    Stupid me...I forgot to sticky this and nearly lost the discussion. Righteo, how's everyone's voting gone so far? I noticed we've been at 16 votes for a couple days now (which is still awesome) and was wondering if anyone who voted but hasn't posted has anything to add to the discussion. The Crepuscular is really doing well with that 7, but the Fearmonger is doing excellently well. So yeah, any thoughts on the builds from anyone else?

    Well, the Weekly Poll is officially over. The Crepuscular has won with a total of 7 votes, with Henson's Fearmonger coming up second with 5. My thanks to everyone who viewed the poll, everyone who posted comments and especially everyone who voted. It was really great to have such a great response for the very first weekly feature. 

     

    Next week, we'll have...another six builds that I'll randomly pick. Or there will be a theme, haven't decided yet.
