I have done mine at the charge of the credit card timestamp. Mostly due to kickstarters, I want to feel that bulk shame instantly and maybe bully myself out of more purchases.
This holds some risk if the Kickstarter doesn’t deliver of course. But… I am trying to force the immediate pain instead of nuking batg a year or two down the line.
I‘ll do it like this as well, time of purchase counts, not time of delivery. In my mind, when I bought something I immediately added to the pile.
But it’s like @MichaelX already said a few times: with all these deliberations, it doesn’t really matter, as long as you treat “Ins” and “Outs” the same. When does a model count, can it be half-painted / primed / etc, is a war machine one model or four, all of it. And the second aspect, which might even be more important, also bears repeating: idea and goal of the batg is to get all of us to paint more, to make a dent in our combined pile of shame. Finding loopholes in the minutiae of the loosely formulated ruleset is against our own interests
Alright @BATG_Warriors ! January is running out fast! I will be making a graph comparing everyone’s performance on the 30th, basing your score on the most recent post you made on your blog.
If you have not posted any update, you won’t appear.
So. Keep posting and painting if you want to chart. And be honest about your new additions. I’ve added more than I expected this month, I’d be sweating if I didn’t have the goblins up my baggy sleeve…
Very slow and steady for some of us. I will be happy if I can count a handful of models for the month… Which if I’m being honest is significantly more steady progress compared to usual.
So far, I’m on zero both in purchased and painted minis, so - no negative numbers, hooray! But who knows, I might still manage to earn a place in that graph by end of the month.
