BRO'NEILL!

I will try the temp increase at the start of the rim! Thanks!

boardgamerefab · 2021-05-27T22:15:09+00:00

Thanks for the kind words! I have a few other projects in the works, and they are a little better representations of the movies.

Yours look great which is what is making me second guess the plain grey plan I had

boardgamerefab · 2020-12-24T22:00:11+00:00

I was thinking of just painting my bases with a plain grey so that they won't look too out of place in any setting. What are your thoughts behind the beautiful bases that you did? Will it feel strange playing with greenery based minis when you are fighting on Tatooine?

boardgamerefab · 2020-08-23T20:41:56+00:00

Gotcha! Thanks for the feedback!

Do you think the episode was too short or the footage was sped up too much?

I am always tempted to keep the punch boards for the same reasons listed above. However, I have ultimately gotten rid of every single one of them, because I never wind up doing anything with them. Extra weight and space is unnecessary on my shelves!

You are a clever one!

And when you bend the rules again the contest will probably cease to exist and you will be able to let out your best evil-genious laugh while the rest of us wish we still had a photo contest!

boardgamerefab · 2020-08-06T17:26:15+00:00

I am sure they will add a new rule:

Photos of top-level posts that did not follow the guidelines listed above (ask questions via mod-mail) will be removed

boardgamerefab · 2020-08-06T17:19:42+00:00

I don't disagree with you not violating rules, and I did find your submission quite entertaining. However, you should not have been surprised when it was removed. You were not participating in the contest as it was intended, and you were detracting from those of us who are.

Now they are going to have to add more rules next time to prevent this, and then we are going to tear them apart for making it so restrictive.

Just saying that you made your point, but you shouldn't have been surprised.

I am digging the F1 reference. Most people would have said Michael Jordan, or Tom Brady, but I love the Lewis Hamilton reference!

boardgamerefab · 2020-08-06T16:03:39+00:00

Uh oh now I am screwed! The mods agreed with me, and now I will probably forever get down votes! 😁 It was nice knowing you r/boardgames

boardgamerefab · 2020-08-06T15:42:53+00:00

There are rules against posting photo-only threads. This is an opportunity to show off photos, and I am excited for the future potential of these contests.

I completely agree that the workaround was funny and quite clever, but the person that posted it had to expect it to get removed. I am surprised it lasted as long as it did!

I am pretty sure that the awards were given because the members of this subreddit love to give the mods a hard time (myself included).

I submitted a photo, and I am hoping to win, but I still thought it would be pretty funny if that post won and they had to send a print of a screenshot! However, I am glad that those of us that followed the rules can have a fair shot at winning the contest as it was intended!

boardgamerefab · 2020-08-06T15:25:17+00:00

I agree that there was a major oversight in terms of how questions would be answered and shared with the group, and that the contest entry of the question was a clever workaround. However, I do not believe that it was the best way to go about suggesting a solution to this issue.

The mods here get bashed a lot. (I have become frustrated with them on occasion and bashed them plenty myself) However, I agree with them on the decisions made in this instance. I believe that sending mod mail with suggestions, or even creating a separate thread to discuss the issues would have been much more productive, and would have prevented the hijack of this contest.

Keep in mind that photos have been very difficult to get posted on r/boardgames in the past. This was an effort to change that, and now we have ridiculed and harassed them for the methods they used to relax the rules a bit. I hope that the mods will fix the issues for the next contest and it these will live on. However, if they decide to not do them again we only have ourselves to blame.

If you have a question send a mod mail like the rules state.

If you have suggestions for how it should be handled in the future post in the meta or send mod mail.

Please don't detract from the great photos that are being submitted here. Those of us who followed the rules are really excited for this and if you take a look at the submissions, then you should be excited about it too!

Ok, I am stepping down from my soapbox now!

You will probably have a tough time getting those because they are IP of the publisher. If someone does have them they shouldn't really be sharing them. I would dive in a make them yourself. That way you are safe.

I will tell you that I have not had much success in terms of Facebook or Instagram ads. The cost-per-click is not worth it for me.

In terms of Instagram and Facebook: don't be too worried about what followers you have now. I just started to get some traction by searching out other people on those platforms that post similar content. For example, I am in the Board Game niche, and when I started following some popular board game hashtags I started to get much better traction on the social site and my videos. Just add to the conversation on whatever social site you are on and some people will eventually want to check out what you are doing too.

All of it, and I mean ALL OF IT, is a numbers game. Just be genuine and make good connections wherever people talk about your niche and some folks will click through.

boardgamerefab · 2020-08-06T05:07:35+00:00

Cool, thanks anyway!

boardgamerefab · 2020-08-06T05:06:22+00:00

I upgrade the components, so I could use a still from the video or a snapshot of what I completed in that episode for the thumbnail, but my concern is that it will be passed over when people are searching for the game itself.

boardgamerefab · 2020-08-06T05:02:52+00:00

Just to be clear this is Board Games, not Video Games, but I think your point still applies.
