Hobby Golf Shame League
The Initial Implementation
The idea behind this system is to track what’s on your hobby queue. Miniatures purchased go on the queue. Miniatures painted or sold come off the queue.
I wanted us to log all unpainted miniatures we own. But the group decision was to start at 0 and only log new purchases. The league was set to run for 3 months then we’ll see how it’s working for people.
In addition to logging +1/-1, I added some penalties for early release – within 30 days – purchases. These applied to box sets and their quantity of minis. This was to discourage fear of missing out. KS counts for this as well though points aren’t added till you receive the goods.
Bonuses were available for those who completed box sets or larger. However these bonuses weren’t as large as the penalties. You’re supposed to be clearing your queue so you should be painting more than you buy.
There’s no minimum paint standard. You decide when a mini is done and can be removed from your queue.
Selling minis counts equally alongside painting them. It’s all about clearing your queue. Painting minis can earn you some bonuses but for basic scores there’s no difference.
Overall you’ll get a score that reflects the state of your hobby queue. Below or near 0 is good. Much higher than that and you’ve got work to do.
