Can we do a similar competition, but with only limited 2024 releases such as Eight State, Palmetto Balkan, Sun-Bear and new blends like Horizon and others? I think that would be entertaining as well.

We lost two blends today. One, Bipolar Express, was controversial 'round these parts and at least two forum threads got locked in the dispute. I wish the votes would've been equally rabble rousing, but that wasn't to be the case. Instead, this blend slipped out of sight with nary a fight.
The other, Rule Brittania, was a bulwark blend of the days of old, a blend that Greg Pease himself called "a taste of history." The problem with history is... very few of us give a shit about it. This blend was all the same. I don't believe it ever saw a + vote.
GLP Blends are really starting to take off in this game, those 5 blends accounting for 83 points currently. If this blending house gets any more prosperous, somebody's going to launch a campaign to build a wall around it.
