The Iron Gauntlet DIY Challenge - 2010

Agreed. If I'm due a stern kick to the plums from the Big E himself come friday, (check my vow :cuss ) then I'll just have to brace myself for impact. :rolleyes:

And afterwards I'll spend all year secretly working on the chapter I want to try with next year. ;)

 

Hey, your oath is nothing compared to mine. I'm gonna be turned into Chaos Spawn. You don't want to know what the other Chaos Marines do to Spawn.

 

Now that the research paper is done and I have my new laptop charger I'm in much better shape to improve my guys.

Nope. As stated before the challenge required you to 'submit an article of Librarium quality'. Thusly although you only had to submit an article. However if you submit something that isn't up to Librarium quality yet (yes you people know who you are) then I'm afraid that you wont pass the Challenge. Don't worry, I'm not going to pass either. :)

Basically yes. Of course unless you're psychic you wont know if iuts going to be accepted. So you had better make the article the best you can before it gets submitted or you wont pass the Challenge. Kinda a fuzzy line, isn't it. Its one of the reasons why the results of the first Challenge wont be out for a while.

I, Slick Jimmy of the Deathclaw accept your second challenge and vow to paint fully and base 1850 pts of my Chapter before July 7th. I vow to post two or more WIP updates in the appropriate thread. I will also vow to help my brothers and sisters in the challenge with their vows. May the Emperor curse me if I should fail.

I, Mordray Darkblood, remembrancer of the Void Reavers must humbly admit to my failure to quantify my chapter's glorious history into easy to read summary. I shall strive to continue in this endeavor though so as to spread the knowledge of my most noble chapter.

If it's any consolation, you won the thread with this:

 

failure to quantify my chapter's glorious history into easy to read summary.

 

:rolleyes:

 

There are currently four IAs in the queue. 87 people signed up for the Gauntlet. The Night Scorpions and Death Heads have technically already completed it. Lysimachus just signed up to do comments. That leaves eighty unaccounted for.

 

I didn't expect eighty-four, but I did expect more than four. :P

 

EDIT: Octavulg can no do math. :(

i think more have completed this than you think. it was my understanding that the challenge was to complete an IA and submit it, not actually get it into the Librarium, at least thats how i interpreted my vow.

Well the challenge stated 'Librarium Quality" article submitted. I will go and check the articles that have been submitted to see if I consider them Librarium quality. Of course I'm fairly easy to please, however, if it was rejected by the Librarium already then I'll will of course take a harsher eye to it, just to be fair. I will do all this whilst counting up the 1680 (minimum) odd comments on the articles so I can grade peoples uills. That is why the results of this Challenge wont be out for a while.

 

Oh and I better officially state it:

 

CHALLENGE NO.1 IS CLOSED. ANY COMMENTS OR SUBMISSIONS FROM NOW ON DO NOT COUNT.

 

See the new thread for the third challenge.

Well no. To be accepted into the Librarium you need to be of Librarium quality. But to be Librarium quality, you do not need to be accepted into the Librarium. If you never submitted the article, then you cannot be tested against this bench mark.

 

And as for me, EPIC FAIL!

I would say that in order to be Librarium quality, you do need to be tested against the benchmark. The Librarium determines the benchmark, that's why it's Librarium quality and not Ferrata quality (though the two are probably close). If the articles are that good then submit them and they will be accepted. It's a fairly simple test to see if they are or not :D

 

And agreed on the Epic Fail. At least I got the article fairly finished although it's not up yet...

I like to think that Ferrata quality is higher (not of what I achieve, but that of what I demand of others :rolleyes:)

 

Reminds me, I need to contact you about a couple of Librarium articles...
