TOPIC: Re: Pooling

Cripes. Lets just say that everyone who orders 2k gets one share of that. All the people with 1k can randomly draw.

One share of what?  If there is a food share...I don't need that.

oh the temptation. i'll have to see what work is going to do before i commit to anything.  =|

Food's on Gary then.

It seems to me the incentive of placing the big pre-order is to get the extras Jeff offers.  While there is no way to give everyone exactly what he wants when dividing the order by eighths, Incognito's A-H scheme does a good job of making sure everyone gets at least some of the bonus stuff, thereby keeping the incentive in place.  The random raffle, wherein one or two people could walk away with all the goodies, takes that incentive away.  Given that the odds are against anyone who buys only one share, that $1,000 is better spent buying the regular 100 pack; at least that way the buyer gets 4 UR tokens he wants, as opposed to 2 URs he wants and 2 onyx URs he may or may not want.

It's up to you. No one's holding a gun to your head.

It seems to me, if you had 4 $2K people going in on the order, it should be possible to come to agreement on what everyone gets. For instance, the four different bonus shares could be 1) Wish Ring 2) 2 extra Onyx Rares 3) 2 extra Onyx Rares 4) complete Rare and Uncommon Onyx sets. <br /><br />Perhaps the common onyx set and the Rumor tokens get divided equally - maybe with all participants getting all the lore/rumor codes. <br /><br />If there were 2 or 4 people in for $1K each, it could still work, they could each get 1 extra onyx Purp as their bonus. <br /><br />The only two challenges I see are agreeing on which 4 base Onyx Purps everyone gets and which of the 4 bonus pots everyone gets. <br /><br />Those don't seem too problematic. You have to divide those 16 onyx URs up no matter how you do this, and the 4 pots are even enough I'd probably be happy with any of them. <br /><br />If anyone wants to try to coordinate a pooling done this way instead of sorting the extras randomly, count me in for $2K. <br /><br />Thanks!<br />Mike

Henwy<br /><br />I'd be in for $2K if I could get the Rare/Uncommon/Common onyx sets as my bonus, and I'd leave the four bonus onyx purps, wish ring, and 80 rumor/lore tokens for the rest of the group. Plus, if any (or all) of my four Onyx URs conflict with what others in the group want, I'd be willing to let them have them, and just take non-onyx purps instead. <br /><br />This goes for anyone else pooling orders also - just send me a PM if interested. <br /><br />Thanks<br />Mike

I'd have a problem with that...and drop out.

We're still at 4 of 8 at the moment. A lot of people have been wishy washy with conditionals. Until you send me a PM asserting that you are in for certain and get me a list of the URs you want, you're not being factored in. Of the people who have sent in, the UR distribution looks pretty good at the moment. I feared more overlap but it looks like we've got a lot of variety going so I'm feeling optomistic about the onyx distribution.<br /><br />And everything is still set for random.<br /><br />As I see it there will be 10 potential lots:<br /><br />4 extra URs (4), a GT (maybe 1), a wish ring (1), onyx set of C/UC/R (3), Complete lore/rumor set (1).<br /><br />The Rumor/Lore information will be shared across all people but one person will get the actual tokens. Everyone else will of course get the rumor/lores that will come randomly with their own set of tokens.<br /><br />

<br /><br />That looks good to me H!  Well done!

Henwy<br /><br />Everyone is getting their unopened packs of tokens sent directly to them, right?  If so, wouldn't a GT and/or any 00 packs belong to whomever finds them in their packs?  <br />Is it possible for one person to win all the random items, or is someone out of the random drawings until everyone has an item? <br /><br />Also, who is doing the random drawing?<br /><br />I'm in for $2K if it makes sense how it runs. My internet is limited right now, if you send me an I'm I can send you a list of the UR onyx I'm interested in. <br /><br />Mike
