TOPIC: 2008 Tokens Are HERE!!!!

I'm about to head for home - I'm hopeful, but expecting them to arrive tmr, since I am way out here on the left coast.<br />

<br />No tokens here yet.<br />*sniff*<br />(I suppose I should wait until after Monday, when the Canadian orders ship, before I start bemoaning the fact that they haven't arrived.)<br />

<br /><br />You obviously haven't signed up for Brian's time-shifting class.<br />

<br />I will timidly offer to record, by token by pack, all my tokens as received so various people can do pivot tables and statistical analysis to their hearts' content.  Please let me know if anyone is actually interested in seeing it and where I can put such an excel file.<br />

<br /><br />Is anyone interested in this?  Otherwise, I am not going to bother...

Well I know is USPS is either lying to me or TD is shipping in waves.  For while I got the email saying it will be shipped on the 4th, when I click the tracking link it says it has not been shipped.<br />

<br /><br />I think they are shipping in waves.  My first email indicated it would ship on the 4th I think, but it didn't ship until yesterday.

<br /><br />I'm interested in this, but didn't want to say anything since I could just do it myself if I weren't lazy.  Data I love, collecting it, not so much.  Want to split the diff and share data on greens, reds and purps?  Much easier job.<br /><br />binia

I was actually going to do it at the per pack level so there would also be data on distribution within a pack.  It's a lot of work to enter data for 6000 tokens so I want to be sure that people would be interested in seeing that.

We tried it last year and it just didn't work out very well. Based on the number of data points we had and the sheer number of token types, the standard deviation was enormous. It was hard to figure out if we were really deviating from an expected distributionor not.

<br /><br />Wow, that is a lot of work.  I'll happily share my distribution of greens, reds, etc if anyone is interested, but then I only have a small sample of 600 tokens.  I will say that this year no pack had more then two copies of the same common.  Much better then last year when some packs had four of the same common.

gah, why arent they here yet?  the crazy thing is, it doesnt really matter so much if they dont get here until monday, today is mavencon (free gaming mini-convention here in indy), and sunday is my groups weekly RP day, but i still wants my precious.

I've been busy at work.  Looks like I have some reading to do.<br /><br />Today, my wife told me the mailman parked in our driveway.  I had no clue what it was until I saw "Lori Martin" on the outside of the box.<br />Wow!  SURPRISE!<br /><br />My wife helped me swiftly unwrap each set.  +2 Longsword!  Cool.<br />No Golden Ticket.    Have to buy more!  Hm...I think my wife said she'd change the locks if I bought more.<br /><br />Thank you for the surprise.<br /><br />

<br /><br />Congrats on the "00" +2 Longsword John, that is VERY cool!  <br /><br />It looks like I'll have a Token-Free weekend here, no shipments yet, and the mailman has already come and gone.
