For all the first-timers out there, here's some advice (set to the 'tune' of a certain commercial)

Spoiler
Show

Start with a simple idea
Think
Think more
Drink coffee
Stop thinking
Start doing
Plot a build
Kill the build
More coffee
Build something totally original
Ok, not that original
Blow-your-mind original
Now it’s time to create something
Do it again and again
That’s good
Kick out the clichés
Call in the fluff writers
Call in the rules guys
Call in the optimizers
Not those optimizers
Those Optimizers
Blow off lunch
Blow off dinner
Blow off weekends
SLEEP
...
Ok, that’s enough sleep
More coffee
Build a preliminary build
Mold it
Shape it
Hate it
Start over
Build another preliminary
Mold it
Shape it
Love it
That’s good
More coffee
Give it some kick
Give it more power
More power
Never too much power
Base Attack of +15
No, +16
Make it in less than 20 levels
Oh no, the Rules laywers
You can’t do that.
Kick out the Rules lawyers!
Playtest the build.
Tweak
Tweak
TWEAK
TWEAK
STOP!
Get a second opinion.
Call the critics.
Call your friends.
Get a celebrity endorser.
Huh
No
No
No
No
Yes. He’s perfect.

Yes, you are.
Making an ICO winning build.
It’s that easy.
Heh, that reads like a George Carlin bit.

R.I.P. George. He'd roll over in his grave if he heard somebody say that...... and wasn't dead.
