I dare all of you to post an answer here when you have changed your avatar to a mugshot of yourself wearing a fez for the rest of the month :D.
Also, pictures of painted minis wearing fezzes are very welcome.
Mad Lord Snapcase already changed his - so let's make a party of it! ;D
The winner can chose a pack of Bob Murch's Pulp Figures that I'll donate and get send to his (her?) home address.
Competition runs until Fezember 31st 23:59 CET.
_________________________
Second post:
As I'm in a good Fezember mood, I up the ante:
Everyone posing in his (her?) profile wearing a fez can participate in a competition to post the most painted minis wearing fezzes:
_________________________
Latest rules:
•Avatar of yourself wearing a fez: 5 points
•Your current (or any other) avatar modified to wear a Fez (or already wearing one): 4 points.
Participants meeting one of the above conditions:
•Every painted mini you post wearing a fez: 1 point for the first, 2 for the next (for a total of 3), 3 for the third (for a total of 6)... +1 for every one posted thereafter. Painted minis will be the key to winning this, as is only fitting for LAF
•Screenshot posted of friends/family members sporting a fez on their signature/profile photo on any social media: 5 points each
The winner will be the one with the most points accumulated at the end of the challenge (New Year, my time).
In the case of a tie, I shall present a challenge for the top ranking participants, and if I feel like it (depends on the success of this event), I may add to the prize and/or present additional prizes for the runner(s) up.
Rules of Engagement:
•I expect all participants to record a tally of their accumulated scored points every time they post something - for me to use as reference when checking who has won.
•Allthough this is not cricket, I also expect the usual level of sportsmanship and fairness, particulairly when bending the rules ;)
•Lastly: These rules are subject, maybe not to change as such, but to development, as this is the first time I run this lighthearted challenge. Suggestions as to how to make it more fun for everyone are welcome.

I will wear my fez tonight....... and pose. Maybe I might wear some clothes too......... :o

Well I don't own a fez, so I thought I'd doctor my avatar for you. Unfortunately LAF won't let me upload it for some reason. Says it is too big, when the file size is actually smaller than the original, and the same size as far as dimensions go.
But anyway, here's what it would have looked like:

As Argonor has said it's FEZEMBER, but for the moment I'm keeping my MOVEMBER as well, although the wife's not too keen on it!
BTW, joroas, that's a fantastic collection of fezzes (is that the correct plural?), I especially like the one with the umbrella. Is that the one from West Wind?

Heheh... I don't know where in the UK you live, but I know for a fact that Malamute owns a fez, so maybe you could borrow his? If you do, and make him join the fray, too, I'll give you both a +5 count (otherwise I'll just let the current one count at -1 point (see below) - I'll be making up strange rules for this as we go along - all in the spirit of Christmas and Fezember sillyness - just think of this as the Tardis ;) )
I am augmenting the rules:
- Avatar of yourself wearing a fez: 5 points
- Your current (or any other) avatar modified to wear a Fez (or already wearing one): 4 points.
Participants meeting one of the above conditions:
- Every painted mini you post wearing a fez: 1 point for the first, 2 for the next, 4 for the third... doubling for every one posted thereafter. Painted minis will be the key to winning this, as is only fitting for LAF

I'll add this to the original post, too, in a minute.

I'm breaking the rules ... but a fezzer I fondly remember
(http://i1.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article1741263.ece/ALTERNATES/s615/Tommy%20Cooper-1741263.jpg)
I went to a fortune teller and she looked at my hands.
She said, 'Your future looks pretty black.'
I said, 'Are you kidding? I've still got my gloves on!
Two cannibals were eating a clown – one said to the other, 'Does he taste funny to you?'
I said to the chef, 'Why have you got your hand in the alphabet soup?' He said, 'I'm groping for words!'

How come you guys didn't just wait until Fezbruary? ::)

My normal Fez avatar is my original Cthulhu Fez. But as it's Krampusnacht, I will change to my more festive fez.

My painted miniaturere avatar I changed some time a go to a chechia bearer, and I do intend to eventually have some fez wearing troops, but not for the moment I'm afraid.
But to stand a chance against the ones with massive Askari, Ottoman or French colonial or ACW zouave forces?....
how is it with Fez variations and those miniatures that wrap a turban around it?
-
I may initiate a Fezbruary challenge, too, as I have birthday in that month.
In the meantime, I think I had had too much irish coffee when writing the rule about points for miniatures; I think the points should be: 1 for the first, 2 for the second, 3 for the third, and so on (cumulatively, so 3 minis would be 6 points). I'll correct this right away!
-
I think the scoring should be 1 for the money, 2 for the show, 3 to get ready, and go cat go.

I'll add bonus points for a bubba wearing a fez and blue suede shoes! lol

Ok, here's an orc with a fez.

That's 1 point, right? ???
And a Crimean war veteran discharging his rifle at a pair of small cthulhi, whilst wearing a fez.
(http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j108/vanvlak/XB%20X%20ARC%20AND%20OTHERS%20JUNE%202013/KEMALANDCTHULHINI_zps2fe49d10.jpg) (http://s78.photobucket.com/user/vanvlak/media/XB%20X%20ARC%20AND%20OTHERS%20JUNE%202013/KEMALANDCTHULHINI_zps2fe49d10.jpg.html)
So that's 2? ??? ???
How many points for a cat wearing a fez? (this would qualify as a pun in Maltese, as points would be punti, which also means stitches, namely what you'd need if you tried to place a fez on a cat; or the other way round) ;D

You still have to either pose in your profile picture/avatar with a fez (5 points) or somehow otherwise have a fez in your avatar (4 points) to score the points for the minis (1 point for the first one, 2 points for the second one).
If you do, you'll have scored 8 or 7 points, depending on the solution chosen.

I'll let variations pass, as long as you make a note of it, along with the photo.
Next time, I'll probably ask ppl to post only newly painted minis for the challenge, to let everyone have a chance.

He hasn't scored a single point, yet, though. His avatar misses a crucial point... :)

If this has worked, my new avatar
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/15/7523_07_12_13_11_18_35.jpg)
The only pic I can find of Edward VII in a fez.
So that's 4 points?
-
Not a newly painted figure, or one by me, but it is in my possession and alleged to represent me (http://exilespainting.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/mr-mrs-king-i-presume.html)
I present Dr El-Seyed, Director of Antiquities (http://diplomatist2.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/cairo-police-special-investigations.html)
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/15/7523_07_12_13_11_44_08.jpg)

Bleh, I keep getting an error message when I try to change my avatar. My pic-fu is no good!
Oh well, here's a little contribution to our Fezember feast...

I've tried to upload a 80x75 pixel 4KB file as my avatar twice and each time it has failed.
So until I can adjust the avatar I'll pretend it is this one

I have to be honest and say only the two miniatures in the dirty-white suits are actually wearing fezzes. I have added a fez to Lord Snapcase in PaintShop! So, 5 points for the avatar and 3 points for two minis, making 8 for me.

Okay, I finally figured out how to add a picture to the gallery (BEHOLD my amazing skills!!!)...
... So what's the secret trick to point the Avatar to the gallery pic? ???
THANKS

... So what's the secret trick to point the Avatar to the gallery pic? ???
1) Go to your profile summary (click on 'User' above your current avatar)
2) Under 'Modify rPofile' click on 'Forum Profile Information'
3) Select the button next to 'I will upload my own photo'
4) Click on the button 'Choose File'
5) This will take you to your file directory
The image doesn't have to be in the gallery, but does have to to be the right size (mine is 79x75 pixels - yuor's is 80x80).
-
You're absolutely right!
I must have been drunk when I wrote this. The score should be (5) +1+2+3+4 = 15
As more than one of you has (have?) had problems changing your avatar, I'm ruling that all entries count this time. Next year I'll probably run a tighter show, but for now, let's call it a day :)
Final scores:
1: dadlamassu; score: I haven't bothered adding up...
2: Joroas; score: 311 (if I counted correctly)
3: d phipps; score: 41
4: Diplomatist; score: 15
5: Mad Lord Snapcase; score: 11
6: pauld; score 6
6: Kamandi; score: 6
8: Plynkes; score: 5
8: syrinx0; score: 5
8: former user; score 5
11: Vanvlak; score 3
I hope I didn't forget anyone...
-
Oh, and I think I know what went wrong with the avatars; you have to reduce the file-size to below 6 KB, I think, not only 80x80 px.
-
Fun event, Argonor! ;)
Congrats to dadlamassu, lord of fezzes!!! :D
