You cant back down rev, u need to check this upstart youth before he starts giving you daily beatings.

Think of the whistle, and think of the beatings. and the humiliation, the first person to have/and then back out of a paint off

Aye, tidy stuff that - nice word play lol

I\'m honestly thinking of backing down. I\'m not going to have the time and I feel it\'s too early in my painting career to start painting competitively

Come on Ya big Nancy........
There\'s no such thing as too early.. A challenge has been set if it is met you cannot stand down.. look at it as a chance to correct some of the wrongs in the world...you da man.....

 

[Infidel Castro]

I\'m a reluctant vigilante but if the public opinion is Yea then I will do it - for all older folk who get picked on by the youth of today!

 

[demonherald]

That\'s more like it....:beer:

 

[Infidel Castro]

I\'ll get some shooters sorted and get in touch with Big Vern...

 

[DaN]

Oh Gaawwdd

 

[Infidel Castro]

The very man. Big Vern...

 

[BarstoolProphet]

Of course, all our cajoling reverend is irrelevant if the challenge isn\'t accepted. Which it has not been, yet. No PM returned, and no message here in the forums.

 

[Infidel Castro]

Vern is getting an itchy trigger finger.

 

[BarstoolProphet]

Still no reply, by PM or here in the forums. I think Vern may have frightened him off.

 

[DaN]

Maybe he\'s busy with the two fat slags?

 

[BarstoolProphet]

And The First Paint-Off Challenge has been ACCEPTED!

As the semi-official (self-appointed, mostly) referee of this first-time event, I get to make up the rules (mwah ha haaah! POWER!).

So. Here they are:

1: Both participants in the challenge shall paint the same miniature (determined by myself, the referee), without modifications beyond necessary filing and filling in of gaps.

2: Miniature bases shall consist solely of the plastic base that the model is sold with, modified by flocking materials only.

3: Both participants shall have the same amount of time to complete the painting of their miniature (due to participants having actual lives, this amount of time shall be one full lunar month --28 days-- from the official start of the challenge).

4: No WIP photos shall be displayed anywhere until the final close of The Challenge.

5: Photos shall be emailed to myself, the referee, and shall be posted on the account of \'PaintoffChallengeRef\', which will post only Challenge minis for the purposes of these contests. It shall officially be an account belonging to CMON (collectively), as far as standings go, and I will access it only for the postings of these miniatures, and the announcements of other future Paint-Off Challenges, should any arise.

6: Noone save the referee shall know which mini belongs to which artist prior to the completion of The Challenge. This shall be when both minis reach 50 votes.

That\'s as much as I\'m able to think of at 1:15 am, and if it isn\'t seeming coherent after I\'ve slept, I\'ll edit, then. . .

 

[PaintoffChallengeRef]

And I\'ve made the referee account.

 

[DaN]

W0000!

 

[alextheartist]

Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

 

[boristfrog]

If this goes well there should probably be more.

 

[Infidel Castro]

Oh my gawd. it\'s really happening :no:. What have I gone and done?

 

[BarstoolProphet]

You\'ve made CMON History, reverend. Tell Vern to put the gun away, for now.
