World Records during Origins?

[Teaticket]

Nice! I am surprised you both remember and still have your ranks

Phillip, you have rank of "svobodník" - first not-just-common-soldier My father was somewhere between you and Andrzej during his (father's) 2-years military service around 1979.

What would the rank for 5 be?

[Dan-Sam]

"Rotmistr" = Sergeant
But not with "peckas", but with one "coffin"



Next time I'll bring one or two especially for you

OK, Been thinking on it and I respect the desire for non unique planes form the collectors who can not attend (that would also be me). Rather then a plane then maybe a small deck (3 cards?) of ace abilities. Or better yet have about 6 different cards and every time you shoot someone down you get one of your choice. If you get shot down you still keep it. Also allow each player to get one just for playing. They would have to be special though, things like.

Pilots hand gun: deal one B card at a plane within short range in a 360 Deg arc. Use once per game, also can not fire other weapons while using.
Cockpit Hammer: Use to reduce jams by 1 turn. Unlimited use.
Lucky Scarf: Allow one redraw of a damage card per game, reshuffle rejected card back into damage deck.


And so on....Cards that add flavor but do not break the game.

I think I like this idea better. Easily made in a small quantity, and with the proper logo for the WRB game, a nice perk for playing.

How about a souvenir T-shirt?

No good - you'd need to provide numbers of each of a wide plethora of sizes (unless you knew in advance the shirt size of the winners!)

[Bobsalt]

The cards are a good idea. They wouldn't be expensive to make, and yet would provide a prize unique to events. Better yet, because of the low cost they could be used for every convention for that year.

[Naharaht]

A baseball cap bearing the Wings of Glory logo? The size would be adjustable using the strap at the back.

These could be done up, with some indicating the World Record Event: Origins 2018 Convention Participation Card

These could be done up with specific skills, if desired, too.

[Flying Officer Kyte]

Do you mean something like this?



The Buckeyes got there first.

i like this idea!!!

[Naharaht]

I was thinking more in terms of a light blue one with 'Wings of Glory' and the wings logo underneath printed on the front in silver or white, Rob.

[OldGuy59]

These won't be cheap, unless a large number are ordered, and I suspect that without someone to bankroll them up front, they'd need to be ordered and paid for in advance by the participants. So, more money for people to pay going in?

[Flying Officer Kyte]

However, for Doncaster we could take orders up front. I wonder if Chris's mate could do anything for us. He made a great job of the bags!
