From the rules, emphasis mine... Those wishing to participate in ToyVault's Pile of piecepack game design contest must submit the complete rules for an original game to be played using either a single piecepack four-suit (Crowns, Fleur de Lis, Suns, Moons) set, or two such sets. All games submitted must be completely original designs, not appearing in any previously published collection of piecepack game rules in any format - either electronically or in print. Games requiring any additional materials other than one or two piecepack sets will not be considered for purposes of this contest. Winners will be selected entirely at the ToyVault staff's discretion and opinion of "best games." ToyVault will select the top 12 (twelve) game designs of those received. The designers of these games will each receive 1 (one) free copy...

More suggestions? Probably the third one would garner the most attention as I think boycotting would be doomed to failure. The first and third would seem to get their attention. Personally, I would like to see all of their games pulled from the database, and replaced with a notice about why they are gone, along with their email and a link the their legal crap. BGG can then be safe, and Games Workshop can take a hike.
