OK, I'm calling this unofficial cause this is all on me. And I'm highjacking the news section cause I want a lot of people playing.
So here's what's going on. The Collector's Club said they're going to start revealing the figure pictures for FSS 4.0 this week. And I thought it would be fun to try and guess how this is gonna happen. I worked out most of this yesterday. There will be a point system. You get one point for everything you get correct. Here are the parts to choose from:
Date of reveal-the day we're told, bonus point if you get it within the hour(must specify the time zone or I will assume you mean mine ), another if you get it within 5 minutes, Example: a guess of 1:30 will get a point if the reveal happens in the 1 o'clock hour and another point if it happens between 1:25-1:35, extra point for guessing overall start and/or finish day. Time guidelines are based on the time posted on the club site for the reveal.
Figure order-one at a time, just state what you think the next one will be, if you pick the entire line up in your first post you get 1 bonus point for every correct answer
Parts list-1 point each for getting head, arms, body, legs. Bonus if your choice is better(in my opinion) than the club. For example, for the Con Recondo if you said anything other than that 25th Dusty body you get a point. If you want to mix parts for those categories you will get an extra point for correct picks. Example: for Con Big Brawler if you said Roadblock arms=1 point; Ret. Roadblock upper, Resolute Roadblock lower=2. However, if you say "Ret. Trooper upper arms and Mouse lower arms", that's one point. Because those are the arms Mouse came with. You don't have to get the original owner of those parts to be right. Retaliation Firefly is just as correct as 30th Lifeline. Be as specific as possible. Version numbers are great, but not necessary. However, saying "Retaliation Snake Eyes" will not count. Accessories will be based on majority percent correct. So if you get 55% correct then you get 1 point.
Now the part you guys really care about, the prizes. In honor of Gyre-Viper this is coming out of my personal collection. But because I'm a cheap sumbich it's not going to be worth much, about $5. I haven't picked it out yet, but at the end the overall point leader will get to choose from either a vintage, VvV or modern style figure I have extra. May or may not be complete but will look nice. Hey, it's free, quit complaining. Also various mini prizes will be awarded as we go. For instance, if you get a figure 100% correct, all parts and times(bonus category not needed), I'll give you a gun or backpack or something. There will also be 1 surprise winner at the end. But I'm not telling you the way you win that.
Anyone can play, staff included('cept me, I mean I'll play but can't win or affect point list). You can jump in at any time. We'll need at least 2 people for the main prize and I figure at least 4 for the surprise gift.
So let's hear it! What you got?
