Thanks for posting and all your hard work! Is there a reason the Prof doesn't get any bonus points for his lepers?

Great choice of picture BTW!

Yes, Pil, the reason is they’re armed. The musician has a short sword on his back and the diggers got knives.

I'll be spotlighting an entry from the round for each leaderboard and will "spreed the wealth" around. Please place no significance on the choice.

My main criteria is a popular entry which lends itself easily to be turned into a banner and is meant simply as a small reminder of all the great entries for the round.

One down... nine to go.

That is a great feature and a very nice way to give peoples some extra motivation and credit!

Excellent initiative, congrats Ray!

Ah, I understand, thanks for the answer

Amazing, I'm in the top half of the pack. Ain't going to last past Round 2, but I'll enjoy it while it does!

I like the illustrated leaderboard, nice touch!

Yeah, my points are at a draw with the Prof's... like that will last! =D

I hear that,guys!
At the minute I'm ahead of the Prof and Gamer Mac on points...........UNBELIEVABLE!

Of course this is a very limited time kinda deal,especially as Gamer Mac is DESTROYING me this week in our match up and the Prof's work is always very pretty!
But it does feel nice and gives one a kind of warm fluffy feeling while it lasts

Thanks for that job Ray!
Just a question: why no bonus point for me? Bloodbowl players have no weapons and are civilians. Am I wrong?

Not to embarrass the good Captain, but he was a little unclear on this point. Here's his initial response to Faber's original query about eligibility for bonus points for Bloodbowl teams in round 1 prior to the start of the contest:

Quote from: Captain Blood on February 02, 2011, 12:27:23 PM

If they are civilians and unarmed then they count. A civilian is someone not part of a uniformed military or paramilitary organisation, or part of a non-uniformed paramilitary organisation (in other words, resistance fighters or partizans would not count as civilians - hence also the 'unarmed' bit).

Unarmed, as per the above point. Non-combatants. Bystanders. The intent is civilian extras, not armed protagonists.

Here is his later response to Muskie's similar query:

Quote from: Captain Blood on February 09, 2011, 11:02:00 AM

But they are combatants in the game, right? Not bystanders. And as part of a uniformed team, not strictly civilian either. So on balance, that's a no.

Ray Rivers · « **Reply #12 on:** March 22, 2011, 10:42:48 AM »

"Bystanders" being the key word here.

Blood Bowl players are the central figures to a rather particular violent form of football game.

Bystanders would be figures such as referees, news crews or cheer leaders. There presence makes no difference to the outcome of the game.

To put the issue in context, the bonus was for painting figures who are not central to the game. Those who inhabit the background and not part of the contest.

Captain Blood · « **Reply #13 on:** March 22, 2011, 11:01:38 AM »

Sorry Faber, that is correct. I may not have been clear enough in my responses to you and Muskie, but as I see it, Bloodbowl players, armed or not, are uniformed fighters in the combat 'game' of blood bowl. So they are protagonists, not strictly civilian bystanders.

I'm honored to have my group pictured, that's a lot of pressure for me to keep up the quality though!
