@Reaver, Myself and a few others have done a BATG and we love it. I was talking to @Oxymandias about it and we came up with the idea of awarding badges for successfull BATG reports.
I’d love for you, the community, to give some feedback/input on this.
The idea is simple.
At the start of the new year you make a BATG thread. You keep track of all new models you buy (add to the total BATG score) and all models you paint (subtract from the total BATG score) in that year.
At the end of the BATG year we will award the following tiers of badges:
BATG Score
Badge Level
-1
Bronze
-25
Silver
-50
Gold
-100
Platinum
-150
Blackshard
What do you think of the badge tiers?
Finally, What kind of badge should we commision from @Loidrial ? Oxy suggested a brush, or a gray little dwarf.
that sucks… the idea is you start the year with a new slate. and tally the score at newyears eve.
That said… maybe we should exclude december due to Xmas gifts and such, or allow fols to add Xmas gifts to the new BATG. No idea…
Thats pretty cool too! a gray dwarf to start and increase the color spectrum through each badge tier!
200 has a nice ring to it because it keeps the doubling effect on the other levels in place. No shame in Platinum. You need a hell of a backlog to be able to play at that level regardless
I’m not particularly fussed about the levels of badges and how many below 0 = what badge. But I think that rewarding battle against the greys is a great motivator.
I buy more than I paint and I think with me soon getting more space it’s likely that will get worse haha !
I’ve also got some big rebasing projects planned next year (not that that will contribute but both will contribute to me finishing or adapting what I’ve got as opposed to buying for buying sake)
