Don't know if that changes things. I suppose the lower guesses are accounting for the 390 to not sell out. Which is absolutely valid.

Dang, should have done the math on the shipping and cost of the total set. Too late to change my guess? If no, I'm revising mine from 240 to 340k

I’ll allow it.

404k

I am late on guessing but I want to be in at 387K

I know, I know - its dated, its low effort, everyone already thought about it and decided not to - but I am weak

Haha! This is what I send back to the spam texts asking me if I want to sell my house. Makes me laugh every time. I wonder how many other people might do this?

DUDE! Really?

Grrrrr.

I love how UC turns into a gambling platform .

That's my fault! I shouldve instituted a 10k buffer for every guess (5k in either direction)

TUCK BOXES ARRIVED TO ME TODAY. Somehow better in person!

I didn't see yours on the opposite page. Was only looking at Omar's updates. I will revise mine to 394 to give you some room.

That being said you and I share one brain evidently.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but since Omar said the guy who gets closest without going over, Fenrir is limiting himself and not you, rousselle; If it goes over $385 then you lose and Fenrir only has $2k of wriggle room before losing out himself.

Am I wrong? It's late And I'm tired.

Timmargh wrote: ↑Thu May 12, 2022 7:19 pm Am I wrong? It's late And I'm tired.

Good catch, you are correct

He's limiting rouselle because rouselle has 2k wiggle room. Anything over 2k difference and Fenrir wins. It's like price is right rules. Say the item costs $100. You bid $10 and I bid $11. You can only win with $10 whereas I can win with any amount from 11-100. More chances to win. This assumes the winning amount is over Fenrir's amount. That's the point of oubidding someone so closely (not saying Fenrir did on purpose here)

It's a game y'all

hsbc wrote: ↑Thu May 12, 2022 9:04 pm It's a game y'all

I'm just explaining price is right rules! Not even playing

Nothing wrong with game theory lessons then .

BTW, I was trying to be funny. Of course Fenrir wasn't deliberately trying to honk me; it was just a hilarious coincidence that he did.

This isn't just a game... it's a FUN game, and part of the fun is the good-natured jostling.

I had toyed with the idea of posting a rotfl emoji at the end of my mock outrage, but I didn't want to come off as *too* much of a laughing at your own jokes kind of guy.

But, come to think of it... I do that all the time, anyway, so why stop now?

I'm sorry to have caused so much drama. I don't mind a little jostling.

I made my adjustment and now we can see who the true winner will be.

I am no longer tired and see that you are correct.

I'll get my coat.

And that's how it came across, at least to me; the "Grrrr" did it.

KS page preview is ready. Please take a look and let me know what you think. NOTE: None of the visual assets are complete yet (that includes video, campaign photography and Kevin's design assets--which he is working on now). It's really more about reading the copy and looking through the rewards, etc.

Thanks!

Do the red and blue decks have foil on the faces or do just the black, white, green, and prism versions have that? Also what is the date and time of the KS launch? I've seen the pictures of the phenomenally gorgeous tucks but I'd like to see pictures of backs and faces for each version too. Are these available?

Sorry if I missed this info, I'm not at my best today. Off topic but I got my second covid booster yesterday and it's kicking my ass. All my previous doses were Pfizer and the only side effect for me was a sore arm. Yesterday, I got the Moderna and also got the flu-like side effects with it. Ugh!

Here are some pics again. Red and blue do NOT have foil. They will have metallic Pantone inks

Edit: I thought the pics would be quoted too. Well darn. One sec.

This work? Sigh. No it didn’t. Check page 14 of this thread. Sorry. I’m dealing with a cold and not at my best either. Haha. I’ve heard several stories of fourth shot being worst. Also campaign launches may 24 at noon eastern.

Here you go:

Time to sell my third kidney

You have a third kidney?! I’d sell that too. You don’t need three!

Already sold the other two . First one had to go when Sensu and Eye of the Ocean ran simultaneously
