Season 5 - Leaderboard

[Faber]

@Ray & Captain:
Eh eh, Round 1 was a really unlucky one for me 
I think they are civilian: in the background they are just "players" -even if in a combat game- not armed, not part of any militar org. The uniform doesn't make you not a civilian: think to a modern rugby team, players wear uniform and they are protagonists and I think that anyone can see they are civilian. Ok, of course they are not bystanders but the Round is called "Civilians and bystanders". So, in my opinion, they are civilians as a modern rugby team.
ANYWAY, it was just to say what I think about: I can survive without those ten points 

[Captain Blood]

Well I'd suggest the difference is that rugby is a contact sport, whereas Bloodbowl is a combat game where part of the objective at least is to maim the opponent. Bloodbowl is therefore, in part at least, about fighting - which surely makes the figures in a Bloodbowl team combatants not bystanders, even if they are civilian combatants. Civilian combatants (like partisans, resistance and so on) were specifically ruled out in the rules for the theme bonus rounds. And having re-read them, I think that my posts on this specific topic, on 2nd and 9th February, made it pretty clear that Bloodbowl figures weren't going to count as civilians.

Who hoo!  67th!

As for Bloodbowl, all you have to do is look at the armor or the fact some players use Chainsaws or other weapons...  Maybe a Halfling team could argue they are unarmed and innocent bystanders...  ;-)

Not looking like I'll get my week three entry done, but I keep chipping away at it, if not this week then the next.

Cheers,

[Faber]

ok captain, clear now. I missunderstood the theme 
The truth is I do not have any bystander in my collection and I thought BB players were right but in effect they are borderline 

[Raz]

Great idea Ray! Awesome, thanks for the effort

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

As an impartial observer I think this may be a little harsh not to count these as civilians/bystanders. 
First - I can't clearly see the knives or shortsword in the photo - so maybe some insider information was applied.
Second - these are mediaeval lepers and hence the knives are eating implements rather than offensive weapons.
Third - their various diseases are probably more hazardous than their weapons.
Finally - no self respecting armed force would accept lepers in their ranks.

Having said that - I'm new to the Lead Painter's League but am loving it.  So many really talented entries!  Well done to everyone who's taking part.....maybe next year!

so maybe some insider information was applied.

Yes, a lot of inside info, as that entry was the work of the esteemed Prof W, "Administrator and galactic brain".

I second that. It's a bit harsh.

[Captain Blood]

The Prof, being a decent fellow of utmost scruple, flatly refused to accept bonus points for the unarmed civilians theme, knowing several of his figures were armed - even if you can't see the weapons in shot.
That's entirely his call. End of.

[Rob_bresnen]

one of my guys had a spade.

[Paddy649]

What an unusually honest guy Prof is!

[Hammers]

Believe me when I say that if I should pick one thing which Alex (Prof.) has done to make this place work, it must be fair treatment of everyone. He even moderates us moderators in that direction. I was once attracted to this place because of his talents but I stay because of his attitude.

[Fire Broadside!]

How come most of the winners have 55 points and not 45? I thought it'd be 20(winning)+10(bonus)+15(votes)=45.

What am I missing? 

[D@rth J@ymZ]

+30 for a Win, +20 for a Draw, +10 for a Loss,

(Plus +10 for a New Entry, +1-15 for votes) 

[Silent Invader]

Though need to remember that for the first round only there was no bonus for a new team, only the theme bonus for civilians.

So using league-leader Remgain as an example, his 55 points comprise:

30  Win
10  Theme bonus (Civilians)
15  Vote points (maximum possible)
