New theme submitted by savage21 and Ned Drok.

19-20 May 2012
Historic
Time to deploy your realistic military figures and recreate any battle from history. If you don't have any realistic military toys, use GI Joe and Cobra to recreate a war photo.

Not a theme suggestion, but a question about WW - is there a list of the previous WW themes somewhere? And if not would it be worth putting one together so people can suggest things that have either not been done before, or that were done some time ago?

Secondly could we add some standardised keyword tags to indicate that posts are WW related and the particular theme? So something like "weekendwarriors" for all weekend warrior posts, plus the theme (e.g. ww_stealth, ww_combat, ww_historic, etc.) (plus any other keywords) to help people search.

Perhaps this is already being done?

I think the standardized tags are a good idea, lardman. It'll beat having to dig around to find what other people are posting.

I'm really glad this is going again! I've wanted to post the last few weeks but I've been way too busy. I'm planning something out for next weekend, though!

Thank you Troopsofdoom :)
Im excited to see what everyone comes up with :)

There's a list in the fist post of pervious themes since WW returned. I don't know if anyone kept track of the themes before.

We have a standard format for the titles Weekend Warriors: [insert theme] which is searchable. The title can be put into the keywords too. Might as well keep them the same for simplicity. I don't think there's any rules about titles and keywords, so we just have to hope everyone does it voluntary.



Thank Ned Drok, he had a good idea to make the theme work for people without historical stuff.

Ok, fwiw I've just compiled a list in Microsoft Excel (xlsx format) of the WW topics I could find using search. It consists of: topic name, description if present and the URL of the announcement post.

I've attached it in a zip file as I doubt a single post can hold all the data, and equally if it's of use it may be better in its own thread rather than stuck onto the tail end of this one. It's also getting late and I'm heading for bed, so if someone thinks it might be of use and wants to construct such a thread in my absence feel free! :)

P.S. I also saw this idea while searching: http://www.joedios.com/forum/showth...eekend+warriors
Apparently it didn't go far, but it looks interesting if it could be made to work.

P.P.S. I take it back about it not going far, the last post shows a summary of the parts, and there are a fair few in there.

Anyone have some new theme ideas before the next one is chosen on Monday?

What about something like special Guest stars (people who helpGI Joe from time to time)
examples like Indiana Jones, or Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, or even custom figures?
just an Idea
