TOPIC: Supreme Orb of Dragonkind

@Ro-gan

Maybe you can time-share, and everyone can take turns using it.

That won't work if it ends up being some sort of RoSP-like once-a-year thing.

Shared custody would be a $%#& though.

You are the first...it appears.

This is designed as a cool thank you to the BIG token collectors who fund so much of our True Dungeon fun. I thought they deserved something other than a Wish Ring. Like the 1st Segment of the Rod of Seven Parts, the 1st Orb is an unannounced thank you gift. They should be arriving on Thursday or Friday to many of the Onyx set collectors - included with their modules.

A few of these will be in the treasure generators every year.

I'm sorry if this is perceived as some how a bad thing or elitist. I guess my brain just does not work that way. I can tell you that event tickets would be a lot more expensive without the Onyx collectors' support - so giving them a cool thank you helps everyone.

The transmuted Orbs won't be these uber-powerful tokens, but they will provide some geeky fun for big TD fans. That seems appropriate for the thanked group.

Okay, my $0.02...

I'm not happy with this. Why?

This past year Team Yeti all contributed to different degrees that we put in for an $8000 order. That is about 10-11 of us and now we have to figure out a way to see who gets the SOoD.

And, since this will be a transmute Token a few years from now the person who gets it this year will obviously want/need the ones for the following years, too. Otherwise what's the point of each of us just having one for different years??

The answer is not having Jeff ask every person that put in for an $8000 order how many people chipped in and send one SOoD for every person that contributed.

I guess Team Yeti has to have its first ever naked gladiatorial contest.

There are easy solution to this (other than Turkish Oil Wrestling bouts):

1. Auction it off among the team Yeti members, be remit the purchase price among the team in some fair way.

2. Or, if there is a concern about that, auction it off on the forums or eBay and split the funds in some fair way.

Then each person can decide if they want to buy one on the secondary market or not.

If Jeff sent your party a gift card for $400 would you be having a problem figuring out how to manage that situation to a degree that you would be upset about it?

Whoa! Let's not gloss over such a wonderful idea...

Be glad you weren't part of the team (our current one that shares costs evenly for years now) who had to decide who would get the arcane item.

Our 8K pooling team is having similar difficulties figuring out how to deal with this.

It was a really cool surprise gift - and I am grateful Jeff sent them out - but it's hard to figure out a fair system for allocation - particularly when some people want to sell it/ebay it for cash, others want to work out a fair distribution internally, and others just want to roll to see who gets it.

But I tell myself: We are adults. If we could work together to figure out a fair way to split $8000 worth of tokens, we can figure out a fair way to deal with a bonus token.

...I hope I am not lying to myself ; )

I've got a feeling this Token, over the next 8 years, will destroy more friendships than a Monopoly game.

Unless it grants whatever effect it creates to the entire party. Then it won't matter who in your group is carrying it.

Based on Matthew Hayward's suggestions I think the easy solution is to do a forum auction and your team members can bid on it just like anybody else. The money is either distributed among everybody equally or put into the pool for your 2016 token purchases.

That's why economics is so cool, I'm sure one of your team members cares more about this token than the rest, so if they put their money where their mouth is then they can keep it.

Just an idea!

I tend to agree, just auction it off, either publicly or internally and call it a day.
From here on out you know its there so you can account for it in your deals.
