Kai, I thought I PM'd you about my mislabeling of Devo's Cardistry Heroes and Bicycle Cardistry for Best Deck for Flousishing.
If it was accepted as I thought you said then I would have a 43

Kai, as much as I want to commence with the prize selection(s) and winners getting their pick of the available items, can we 'hold' on this maybe one or two days, please? I have a "fish on the line" that I really want to add to the prize pool, if it becomes available, and I should know in the next day or two at most. It's nothing earth shattering, but it definitely is one of those items that - if it's made available - may definitely change the order that things "go down", and - there's a slight possiblity that I might even get two, but I won't know until at least tomorrow, perhaps Monday (at the outside latest). If I don't know for absolute certain at that time, we'll go ahead and "close the loop", assuming that you are in fact ready, which you have not indicated just yet. (of course the way my luck is running here lately, you're probably sitting there composing the "winners in order of finish" list, but - maybe allow a day (or three at most) to let everybody double-check their results with what you have computed on your side? Just saying, I don't want to make it take another single day, but this might in fact change the entire order people pick - or not, but I''ll go out on a limb and state that if I get one of two of these, a lot of people might have to re-evaluate what they thought was their "first" (second and third) choices.

I'll drop another copy to you by email and PM here, just to insure that we don't cross over each other's paths.

[volantangel]

Thanks Mike, sure update me on the prizes! So last two days to check your scores before i come up with the ordering of the winners !

[Cbkimble]

Our beloved Eoghann has decided to donate a whole stash of decks to the voter who he feels voted most to their heart.

I'm just wondering, how will Eoghann determine who was most honest? Seems really tricky. Good luck with that decision.

Speaking of Eoghann, what happened to him. It's been a long time hearing from you.

[Mike Ratledge]

Kai, I have not received any response from the likely contributor, so please carry on with prize selection.

[Mike Ratledge]

I _did_ get a half a brick of Gina's "Sideshow" decks from Expert/Legends (don't remember which part did them, I'm certain it's on the KS campaign page), but it looks like that is a contribution and it's not for my benefit, so I am adding it to the stack of prizes: 1/2 brick of Sideshow tickets including a "Lobster Boy" special add-on card only available during the OG KS campaign to backers.

I don't see anywhere you have taken off and let people start picking out their new prizes.

[Talisman]

Did I miss something? Is this going to happen? I mean the winner's list for prize selection.

A bit curious myself. I'm not in any rush. Just curious.

[sinjin7]

If it will be anything like last year, all that needs to be done is to post the order of selection and then it pretty much takes care of itself from that point on.

That and the bundles of prizes.

[volantangel]

Good thing I decided to check my email & the website before I went away for the weekend w/ no internet connection.

I will take Tier #4 please, the D&D mixed brick.

PM's to Mike & Kai inbound.

[markjanderson]

Out of curiosity, are their any updates to the contents of the TBA/TBD tiers or are they just considered a surprise and that's part of the fun?

Specifically wondering about Tier 13 donated by MonteCarloJoe and Tier 24 donated by chach

I believe they are to be surprises. I could be wrong so feel free to correct me.


looks like Volantangel is next up.

[volantangel]

I will take tier 15! Mystery prize by kdklown:)

[markjanderson]

I'll keep the mystery choices going and take Tier 24 - Mixed brick of decks TBD by chach

[joeblow]

Thanks to all the prize donors! Very generous and made it hard to chose. I have chosen Slavich's Tier 18.

[PrincessTrouble]

[ntnguyen247]

So hard to pick just 1......but I'll go with Tier 7 from nECr0MaNCeD.

Thanks to everyone for donating prizes, and to Mike and Kai for organizing another great contest!!

[nECr0MaNCeD]

A humble request for the mods. At some point it will get difficult to keep track of which tiers are taken. Could someone highlight the taken tiers? In red maybe? Sorry to ask anyone to work harder. I'm just hoping to avoid any confusion.

[Dentyne]

I'm gonna go with Tier 13 - Mystery Brick from MonteCarloJoe!

Thanks to all the donors for all the great prizes!

Yes, that would help, but I would also suggest each person when picking copy this section and simply add their selected tier to their name. Placing the block using code tags makes it easy to select for copy and also won't take up as much room with integrated scroll window. This also will make it easy for those after to see who is next, although it's always good to specifically call out who is next. I'm pretty sure if you use @username they get notified if using tapatalk as well, unless it's not implemented here. @Cbkimble is up next!
