The only thing I got from the Worldbuilders event came from you so far.

I haven’t got anything yet either.

Nope, nothing here either.

i bet it took them all of 2 seconds to take our money. how long has it been since the close of the fundraiser?

About 5 months.

(Puts on tin foil hat) PayPal's dispute deadline is 180 days after the charge - coincidence? (Takes off tin foil hat).

Worldbuilders has been around for a few years. Yes, it'd be awesome if they had more coordination and we'd received our tokens already. But keep in mind that they are a charity first.

Yeah, it pretty much is what it is. I'm not too worried about it, the important thing was that Heiffer International got the money, and they did, the prizes are just a bonus. That being said Worldbuilders didn't finish their prize drawing until April 28th, more than 4 months after the fundraiser ended. That's.....really really slow. I could knock that out in an excel sheet or a sas program in like an hour, call it three hours to validate, test, and triple check it for maximum fairness.

I am guessing that they needed to receive all the prized before they could do the drawing. Just a guess though.

Yeah, I think they're proven to be a worthwhile charity. And they have a track record for being slow to send out prizes, so I'm not really worried. Of course, receiving the honeycomb is only part 1. Then I need to turn around a transmute to get the candle.

Ok, so I’ve tried to keep positive and remember that they are a charity, but frankly my grumpy-half is still... well... grumpy. It’s the not knowing and lack of communication that kills me. “We’re working out it” doesn’t count.

It will still be faster than book 3.

I just regard book 3 like Winds of Winter or Thorn of Emberlain. I don't think it'll ever come out, but if it does that'll be a lovely surprise.
