David at <a href="http://historyspiderweb.blogspot.ca/2015/05/alright-everybody-its-time-for-2nd.html">Spiderweb of History</a> has taken the lead on burnishing the rules and started the collective dash of lemmings towards the mountains of lead. It's simply easier to copy and paste his informative post here:<br />
<br />
Alright everybody, it's time for the <b><u>2nd Annual 6 Month Mountain Reduction and Painting Challenge</u></b>
or 6MMRPC. We've changed up the time frame - it's going to run from
June 1, 2015 thru November 30, 2015. This avoids Christmas. There have
also been a few rules changes, and some exciting additions <b>IN BOLD</b>.<br />
<br />
1. No purchasing of new miniatures, EXCEPT if you use a joker. You get
three jokers to use on a figure purchase. Could be a blister pack, an
ebay bundle, or a single figure...you can't splurge. The only exception
to this rule is if you need bitz or A FIGURE (Singular) to complete a
unit/warband etc.<br />
<br />
<b>1.1 - There is an opportunity to "earn" additional jokers. If you
complete an entire project (whole unit/army/warband etc.) with pictures
of starting, WIP, and completion, you earn yourself a Joker. </b><br />
<br />
2. Gifts do not count against you. Holidays, birthdays etc. Also, if
you're given gift cards by your hobby illiterate family or friends, you
can without penalty use them on anything you want miniatures wise.<br />
<br />
3. Paints, terrain (or materials), and other hobby supplies do not apply to the no purchasing rule.<br />
<br />
4. At least one hobby related blog post and/or Instagram update a week.
If you instagram, be sure to hashtag your pic with #6MMRPC<br />
<br />
5. Zombtober will be part of the 6 month challenge so, Zombie related
stuff during October is ENCOURAGED. Other theme suggestions are
welcomed.<br />
<br />
<b>6. Anyone that wants to submit a before and after picture of a
miniature that they are proud of completing during the course of the
challenge to dmcffd@gmail.com will be entered into the running for a
gift certificate to a online wargaming store of their choice. Judging
will be by an un-biased person. Amount on the gift certificate will be
dictated by winners nationality but should work out to about $30 U.S. I
(Spiderweb of History) will not be eligible to win. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
So spread the word folks, and lets make this an even better challenge than the last!<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. No
purchasing of new miniatures, EXCEPT if you use a joker card. Like in a
deck of cards, you get two jokers to use on a figure purchase during
the six months of the challenge. Could be a blister pack, an ebay
bundle, or a single figure...you can't splurge. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Gifts do
not count against you. Christmas and or birthdays etc. Also, if you're
given gift cards by your hobby illiterate family or friends, you can
without penalty use them on anything you want miniatures wise. I luck
out here, as I'll have Christmas and my birthday during this 6 Months.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. Paints, terrain (or materials), and other hobby supplies do not apply to the no purchasing rule.</span><br />
