The Lead Painters' League Season 5

[Captain Blood]

42!

Well my internet service has been on the fritz for the last week. So I am limited to the time I get online at work. So I was unable to make the dead line for this years league. I wish everyone that made it in the best of luck. You will all have a little tougher competition with me not there though. No more easy wins against me this time. Have fun and I'll be watching & voting. I'm also going to keep painting as if I was still in it.

Well my internet service has been on the fritz for the last week ... So I was unable to make the dead line for this years league. I wish everyone that made it in the best of luck.

Strange, exactly the same thing happened to me.  But, if nothing else, the initial impetus has meant that I've got 20 figures pepped and primed (and 5 painted) for my long-dormant "weird ECW" project.

This week's moral: do not have a user name ending in "F"!

Have fun, everyone.

[Doc Twilight]

Very strange. Make that two more of us.

The same thing also happened to Mina and I... sent it several hours ago, but unfortunately we apparently didn't make the deadline. Mina was in a car accident and we spent most of the week dealing with the fallout/health issues related to that, figured we might be able to squeeze in given the circumstances.

Unfortunate, I was looking forward to participating, as was Mina. She was hoping to get more active at the forum here, too. I understand that I missed it, but I wish something could have been done to accommodate her. This was her one bright spot this week, finishing up the photo/planning what she was to do next, etc.

If anything, I would (politely) suggest that perhaps the policy about allowing people to join after round one should be revisited. I seem to recall that when I first joined you could join up to round three? Been a while, granted.

What would be the point, I ask, also politely? The LPL is announced very well in advance. The point maybe moot anyway, I think I recall that the reason is due to a limitation in the points calculation algorithm in the spreadsheet.

Round 1 is now available for voting 

[Steve F]

No point making things more difficult for the organisers.  Seventy-two competitors is quite enough!  Let's just start some interesting threads of our own.

[Hammers]

Competition is even tougher this year. A lot of stonking entries.

[Heldrak]

Wow! I have to say that in the early returns, I am very impressed with the quality and the creativity shown in this year's entries. We've got a lot of great tough match-ups and interesting work by new faces. Kudos to all the participants!  

[Tomsche]

Agreed, a very high quality in the League this year 

[Dr Mathias]

If I knew how hard it was going to be choosing which entries to vote on, I'm not sure I would have taken part in this! There's some seriously amazing submissions, and quite a few figures I didn't know existed...

[Dr.Falkenhayn]

My very first LPL,placed all my Votes   72 unique,great Entries,no Duplicates,very little GW,very awesome!  

[Calimero]

This first round was an eye opener. There’s a lot more civilian figures that I first thought of…

...very little GW,very awesome!

Fair question. For extenuating circumstances like the one I just described. I would think that being incapacitated by a car accident would be a very good reason to give someone a "by" week. 

I think you're right about the points calculation algorithm - I seem to recall something about that last year.

[Ray Rivers]

The only auto spreed sheet available for the league cannot cope with 72 players.

Thus, I have created my own which will, overall, be a manual manipulation. 

God help us...
