Title: Virtual Yankee Gift Exchange
Post by: Jackal on 06/26/2015 01:51 PM
This is a thread generated automatically by the Cigar Pass system to discuss the Cigar Pass named 'Virtual Yankee Gift Exchange'.

Use this link to return back to the Cigar Pass. (http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?action=cigpass;area=gen;boxpass_id=220)


Here are the rules for this pass:

Each participant will send the moderator 5 cigars: 2x $5-10 value sticks, 2x $10-15 and 1 Hard to find stick. along with $5.95 to cover shipping (flat rate box)

I would then assign these cigars into lots of 2 (1x $5-10 + 1x $10-15) or 1 hard to find stick and each lot assigned a letter designation.  The identity of the packages will be shared with the donator, so that they do not accidentally pull their own contributions.

The participants will be randomized, and starting with the first person, they would choose a package. The cigars in that package will then be revealed and a photo posted by me. The next person would then either choose a new package out of the pile or steal a revealed lot. If stolen, the person who was stolen from gets a turn again to pick or steal. This would go on until all lots are taken.

A lot can only be stolen 3 times before it is frozen and can no longer be taken.

You cannot directly steal back from the person who just stole from you.  However, you could be stolen from and through a series of steals get your turn back.  Then you are free to steal your package back.  Just none directly without something taking place in between.

At the end, everyone will end up with 3 lots (3-6 cigars depending on whether they got the HTFs or not).

I have a Google Speadsheet that will be used to track each package, its contents and how many times it has been taken.


Unfortunately, because of shipping costs, the $5.95 would be limited to US residents. If Non-US geeks want to participate, we would need to work out shipping costs separately.

Also, because of the time that this pass will take, I am limiting it to 12 members.  I will accept requests to join until after the 4th of July weekend, and will randomize the sing ups to see who gets in.  Still, you must have at least veteran status and no negative pass feedback.

Have fun everyone.

The only two issues are speed of getting your cigars to me (we can do this off to the side with some pics as stand ins) and shipping cost.  Again, can easily be worked out.  So no problem.

Post by: Jackal on 07/07/2015 07:23 AM
Alright guys.  We are going to kick this one off.

Everyone will need to send in their parts of this pass.  They will consist of 2 x $5-10, 2 X $10-20 and one Hard to find/ exceptional stick.

Use CI box pricing as a guide.

For all US residents, I will also need $5.95 to cover your postage.  This can be either enclosed in the box with your cigars, or sent to my ppal jackalopej@dslextreme.com

Please get these into the mail by the end of the week, so that the fun can begin.

Had 4 boxes sitting on my doorstep when I got home last night.  I only opened the two that looked like they were used as soccer balls, to inspect for damage.  Luckily, only the boxes were crushed; the cigars within were fine.  I will go through Kent's and Sebastien's packages today.

Here is what the pass is looking like right now.  Please let me know if this is incorrect.

PASS UPDATE:

I have decided to play along in this one too.  I am throwing in a fiver into this pass.  I have randomly assigned each cigar to a lot.  Whoever first chooses each of these lots will get the bonus stick (which will not get stolen with the others).

I cannot be in the pass and facilitate at the same time.  If I was, I could just cherry pick out the ones that I want.  Only one pass moderator tried something like that.  He isn't here anymore  :nono:

Last sticks are on the way, so we shoudl be able to kick this off in a couple of days.

I have also been thinking about the 5 sticks that I was going to add to the pass.  It is kind of unfair, as some people will have less chance to get them (as they will be assigned to people who won't choose their own lots).  Therefore, I will be adding 12 sticks to the pass so that each person has equal chance to pull a bonus stick (some cigars will be better than others, but that will be random).  :angel:

Hold on there now
We cannot be disparaging our Native Americans, especially calling them Apaches and insinuating that they are criminals holding up the mail.  Now that is not PC and you might be looking for protesters outside your house!   Also, now that the Pony Express riders have unionized they prefer to be call Communications Delivery Engineers.

What this delay all comes down to is global warming.  It is pretty obvious that the reduction of the polar ice cap and the free roaming range of the polar bear has greatly impacted the the speed of this delivery.

Looks like the package has been lost to the world.  Hopefully, the PO will eventually get it back to Stephen.  I will need to do some quick renumbering of the lots, and we will get this thing on the way before the end of the week.

That is correct.  Any lot is stealable up to three times.  The only restriction is that you cannot steal directly back from the person who stole from you.  You can, however, re-steal as long as there was someone's turn between you and there-steal.

Also, bonus cigars are not stealable, but the original lots that they came with are.  so if someone stole Jason's pic, they would get the Herrera Esteli Robusto and Illusione 2013 Rose Croix, but not the 3 Reynas.

What I generally see is that some groundwork gets laid down of people choosing from the stack for a bit, then once a certain critical mass is hit, all hell breaks loose and the stealing frenzy begins.

No worries.  From the beginning this was intended to be pretty epic in scale, with an epic time frame (I was figuring on around 3 months), so a few days extra won't affect things too much.

Something like a trading block where lots are put up for trade. Now that I've written it I see how much more work that could give you and realize it could mean we'd still be playing this winter. Still had to put it out there :biggrin:

Tempting to steal the LG#1 and lock it up since I keep losing all my original picks, but that would be greedy since I recieved one from the same source recently...all the lots are wonderful...

I'm going to have to steal lot N, sorry you didn't get to dream about those for more than a couple hours Rebecca.

Per Mojo's request, at the end of this, if people want to make trades, work that out via PM and let me know if any of these sticks should be sent to recipients other than the ones who they are listed for.  I will give everyone around a week to do any trading.

I will hold off a week before sending out sticks.  If any of you want to make trades within the pass, let me know before I send out the cigars.

I will also be transferring the pass to each member.  Please send it along so that we all get our points.

Thanks to everyone for making this a really fun experience.

This is a lot of work.  Will be a little while before I attempt it again.  I may want to wait until the browsers shake out before I do this again.  Firefox and Google spreadsheets were giving me a lot of problems.  I may have to do this again using chrome on my side if Firefox and Google don't find some common ground.

Need Tim to transition the pass back to me so that everyone can get their points.  He hasn't been on for a couple weeks.  Once the pass concludes, I will give everyone their feedback.  If he doesn't show up by end of Sept, I will override and transition myself (which I don't want to do, since it doesn't award Tim his points).
