Pink Pig Award

[Sean Clark]

I'm tempted to shelve this idea for now.

The group build seems to me a far more inclusive way for members to display there talents, and having two forum events running at the same time will do no favours for either.

It maybe something to return to in the future, but I think the group build should get priority and the forum members attention.

Couldn't the winner of the group build still get a Pink Pig Award?

Again, I'd rather reward participation than winning. Martin B might correct me here, but participation and inclusion is the key rather than one up manship.

Maybe a people's vote on the 'best in show' would be doable.

It might be that a Piggie badge could be awarded each time you participate. On completing 5 entries you get  a Silver Piggie and on on 10 the much, coveted Golden Pig.

Sean is correct the participation in a Group Build is the important part and I've stolen his silver and gold pig award levels idea. I suppose I could have called then Ag and Au pigs and claimed the idea was mine all along. Thank you Sean.

Best wishes,

A group build sounds better. Then when we start going to shows and events, and start seeing PP type games being played again, it will be nice for people(forum members) able to spot the odd Group Build Base or Template on a Wargames Table ? So we can all have a chuckle to ourselves over the years to come ?
There are so many possibilities? Also variations that can be archived? Some of PP's odd bits n pieces of the ranges can be included ?
Like on a building template, having a dog in a back alley cocking his leg and peeing against something ? Or 3 pigs in a back garden or an eagle flying/ swooping in to land on a window ledge ? Some of PP Furniture or a Petrol pump say included into base or template ?
Something Quaint or Quirky ?
A quick example is the Trophy for the Ardennes game in Dorchester a few years ago is based on the "famous" photograph of the Abandoned King Tiger with American soldiers climbing over it.
