I must say that in future i would like to give votes. Not just one.
It is not doing justice to the quality of build any more.
I could have handed out 3 votes so very fricking easily it hurts.
We are not in kindergarten but i very much feel that some builders do not get their rightfull votes just because the 1 vote thing.

It would be good but maybe a bit difficult to set up. With only having one vote means that in making our decisions with this one vote, one really has to look hard at where we want to place it.

Had to be tough to judge! Congrats to all especially Don for his twofer.
