I'm glad to see all the early interest in the thread this month! FYI: I'm working on cleaning up the points spreadsheet for Season 5. Everyone's entry is tracked privately on it right now, but it should be public within a few days.  MasterSlowPoke posted:Lets get back on the wagon! These are 28mm, correct?

Pierzak posted:I, Pierzak, add to my May oath (Original oath post) one Sphinx TAG (Corvus Belli, Infinity, 28mm scale but the mini is something like 55 mm tall; also, if it isn't clear the base is unpainted so there's only one paint there) Seems okay to me, and yes, you're cool if you start speedpainting it right away. I'll still let Krushgroove formally approve it, though.

thespaceinvader posted:Can I Whales a last season oath? If not, two of them are still good to go as I only did one colour of basecoat, so I'll get pic up soonish. The third is four colours so far so no dice D: Leperflesh posted:That is a good question. I'm not part of the rules-writing or adjudicating team this year, because I want to take part, but I am still sponsoring the Whales prize. I'd be happy to let folks Whales oaths from last year, but I assume that only goes as far as being eligible for the year-end prize I'm offering. Last year, Whalesing an oath also potentially affected points, because of the bonus points you earned for completing lots of oaths (and whalesing an oath counted towards that completion). I'll let the rules writers deal with the rules end of things (as I'm still getting up to speed on that end), but I really shouldn't have a problem tracking it. Don't let me hold you back.  Edit: I will say that last year there were plenty of times when I felt constrained by the month-on-month schedule - I'd hold myself back to start painting something just so that it'd qualify. It kind of seems counterintuitive! In that regard, it seems to me that accepting Whales oaths that weren't failed this year still lies within the spirit of 'just paint!', so I have no beef with it.

Electric Hobo posted:I'm confused about a few things that's going on in here, probably because this is the first year I join in the oathing. 'Whales' is a shortening of '[I'm gonna] Save the Whales', which is when a person fails an oath in a prior month and attempts to finish it up in a subsequent one. It needs to be declared, and doing it allows you to requalify for some of the prize drawings/points/whatever that you would have missed had you just left the oath failed. I think there may also be a special Whales-Only contest draw. Note: Often people will declare both an Oath and a Whales at the same time: The 'Whales' oath saves the credit they lost for the prior month, while the actual Oath gets them credit for the current month. I think we had at least one case last year where someone thought their Whales oath allowed them fix their failed oath AND to get prizes for the current month, and they had an unhappy surprise at the end of the month. 'Double the fun!' is do any two Jurnals or Achievements (previously called 'Bonuses') on the same oath. This can spread across different minis in the same oath, as well. We haven't updated 'bonus' to 'achievement' in all of our documentation yet, so hopefully this clears up that confusion.

Gareth Gobulcoque posted:Isn't Samoa the worst place to pick of you want to give everybody until the last possible minute? Aren't they UTC +13/+14 depending on DST. Wouldn't you want UTC -12? Or am I high on allergy meds, which is probable. enri posted:Actually this is a good point, or am I high too? Being +13 UTC means people on GMT for example have to be finished by 11am on the last day of the month, rather than midnight as has been the case in the past. It at least looks like it's to the east of the International Date Line.  So it looks like it's one of the last places on Earth to experience 'end of day', unless they're pulling some weird stuff with their time zone.

I managed to hit my storage unit this weekend to see if there was anything interesting in there for the prize pool. That's some Reaper stuff, some Elmore Dark Sword stuff, a Privateer Press figure, and some really old Rackham metal stuff. The wizard was a Gen Con exclusive.  Krushgroove, as soon as my next Reaper order gets in, I'll ship this to you for prizes.

The Season 5 Oath Spreadsheet is here! I still need to clean up some of the calculation spreadsheets (the quarterly stuff is pretty broken right now), but you can now check to see if you've been included properly. You can also check the Achievements tab to see if I gave you all the One Time Bonuses that you've earned so far. I'll add prize columns once I have a better idea what we've got. The Grand Total sheet needs some elbow grease, so ignore it for now. Red text or yellow highlighting on your name means that Krushgroove raised an issue with your oath that needs to be resolved. It's pretty much mostly that your Oath picture needs to be retaken, though we do have one invalid oath that snuck in there.

This being the first one of the sort I have trouble imagining what we might possibly get but this could be an interesting thing for the thread... Sure, I'll think about how we can best implement it, then probably go do it on the weekend. On that note... Icon Of Sin posted:Iris of Ether, my points aren't showing in the spreadsheet even though there's a link to my completed oath You're correct. I won't be able to fix it up until later today, though, as Google Drive doesn't seem to want to play nice with the Intranet at my new office. On that note, I'm near guaranteed to miss a lot of the Season 5ivers, especially for folks who didn't do any other Achievements. I'll try to remember to do cleanup at end of month.

Krushgroove gets final say, though. jodai posted:I'm probably going to do some tokens next month, how would I go about is thing that? Unless I'm misunderstanding the questions, I'd say 1) take a standard unpainted Oath photo with them, 2) paint them up, and 3) make sure you claim the 'I rolled a 6' Achievement when you post Oath Complete. They function similar to any other painted Oath beyond that. Red Shoe posted:

Elfface posted:Oath complete! First, if you add your username to your photos, you can get an extra point for the month. Second, I don't think I can give you points for I rolled a 6! because your initial Oath didn't include the unpainted markers. (Unless I'm missing some pictures?) Third, I'll defer to Krushgroove, but I don't think cleaning up your base would disqualify you from the Speed Painting. It's more in the gray area, though.

YF19pilot posted:Hey, I just noticed an error in the spreadsheet. You have the monthly Jurnal as 1 point, but the Quarterly Spreadsheet formula for determining qualifier is looking for a value of '2'. That is, you have the following formula for May: Yup, that's an artifact from our rule changes between Seasons 4 & 5. On the plus side, it's a rather consistent artifact, so at the moment, no one's earning credit. There will probably continue to be some artifacts until it becomes necessary for me to fix them (for judging purposes), but I can fix that one right now. Thanks for looking!

I'll save some of the achievements for later months... and er... doesn't that mean that everyone who bothers with the journal this month is also eligible for Double the fun? Nah, we ruled earlier in the month that Season 5iver doesn't count towards fulfilling Double the Fun, or absolutely everyone (as opposed to like 75% of you) would get it. WhiteOutMouse posted:Box art? I'm fine with including this as Box Art (though it's more of a 'Breaking the 4th Wall'), but I want to hear feedback from the other thread runners before giving you the points.

I'm fine either way regarding the decision to include or not include zenithal priming. The only thing I ask is that if we allow it, people call out that it's already been zenithal primed in their original Oath post. Obviously we'd take issue (on judging if nothing else) if someone really phoned it in with the subsequent paint job, but it does make sense to me that someone would have large amounts of pre-primed figures if they were trying to do some batch processing on their end. Off topic, FYI to the thread - I'm behind on getting some entries into the spreadsheet for folks who finished their May Oaths. It's largely me getting used to my new job and certainly not at all that we did a marathon of the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game this weekend . My goal is to get that entered in tonight!

Hey folks, I've only had a limited amount of time to review the spreadsheet during the work weeks (due to getting used to a new job), but I wanted to let people know that the sheet should be up to date regarding May Oath completion. So please post here if you notice anything wonky about the completion I've given you on the May 2014 tab and the Achievements tab! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AhbAQSD-C_25dFcwTGtXeWJpNG9Ob18yclJKYUhQMkE&usp=drive_web&pli=1#gid=12 I know that I've probably missed giving some people Season 5iver, for instance. As another point, I only gave people credit for Themed Group if they had completed at least (5) figures that looked like they went together (for 28mm scale). If that doesn't match Season 5's rules, though, let me know and I'll correct.
