Tale of 16 Gamers - Abington - 2012

[Grand Master Steve]

Most of my stuff is yellow.

For some reason this made me laugh.

[Grand Master Steve]

Ok an anonymous person asked a question which I need a group vote for.

"If I have some one help me paint my stuff so its done on time is this cheating?"

Personally I say no since I know people who ask friends for help to get stuff ready for a tournament but for this purpose I think its a bit unmoral.

What say the group?

[Chase]

Seems like it's the opposite of what the whole thing is about to me.

Then again, there's little anyone can do about it.

[Grand Master Steve]

That is what im thinking. While we can not do anything about it, its kinda shaddy

[Rurouni Benshin]

I agree with Chase.  The point of us deciding that we only start with 500 for the first month was so that people could have the time to paint them, without needing to rush themselves too much. 

[Achillius]

Ok,
      this is supposed to be fun and motivational. Personally if I'm late or not done, it is what it is.
Ideally, you started from scratch on Jan 1 and by Feb 3 you will have every model built and as many painted as possible. Next month you have fewer to paint and will be able to catch up if you need to.


If you are concerned over hitting the date on time, and getting help will stop you stressing, have at it.

Cheers,
Alan

My thought is that it would be one thing if it was a "If all your stuff is not painted by the deadline you get kicked from the group" but it's not. So if you don't get stuff painted, not the end of the world. If you do... good job.

I agree with Alan. 

It's a casual thing.  I know I started not from scratch so I suppose I would be "cheating".

[Randl]

Personally I'm going with the theory of if your happy with your army then its all good.
I'll be the first to admit that my objective markers were painted and given to me as a gift from a good friend of mine.
One top of that I had a couple of units painted when this started. I am using this as an excuse to paint the rest of the army and most importantly start playing not just painting 40k again.

Now should you take credit for your friends painting?    No that is never good.
Perhaps you don't get credit for painting on time, but you can still get credit for playing the games using those points.

I'm going with the lets make this whole thing as "fun and productive" as we can.

[Grand Master Steve]

Alright for the anonymous person the answer is you need to do your own stuff. ::bangs gavel::

[GossWeapon]

Anonymous u slackin bro? I was done Jan 2nd /Gloat

[Randl]

Well on a gaming note is anyone up for a refresher game Saturday afternoon?

[Serring]

Hate....school....

Its a fair assumption that I'm not going to be done with basing at least.

[Ian Mulligan]

Saturday, more yellow.
