I might have to be a mathematician to make this work, I hope this goes well. We got 20 so far, nice turnout. Going to close this Wednesday and get things in order. By the way Pictures in this thread are a must, no pic it didn't happen. Please make it easy for the receiver by making a list of what they are getting, if you are like me I get confused with unfamiliar smokes.

Quotehorrido - 8/10/2015  9:34 PM  Thanks for doing the pass do we send you the persons name first? Then you mark them off or does the person need to receive first.

 Let them receive it and I'll update this list and the participant order as we go along. You can send me the name if you want to but I would rather not know and watch the surprise landings too.

I'm in. This seems like a good pass to get my feet wet with also.

Maybe it's like becoming one with the cigar. You lose yourself in it; everything fades away: your worries, your problems, your thoughts. They fade into the smoke, and the cigar and you are at peace.

So, just so I'm clear. When we receive bombs, we are to post the pictures (and gratitude) in this thread rather than the standard bombing thread?

How do we know not to receive double bombs etc I am thinking if 2 people sent a package to the same person it could be possible.

From what I understand he is going to mark somehow who has been chosen or remove them from the list once they are picked so that they don't get chose twice. the only issue I see is if someone chooses to Bomb the 1st bomber in the middle a restart would have to happen with who is left.

Ok that makes sense I could just picture a person getting 2 or 3 if someone is not off the list. ... Now that would be an atomic bomb....lol.

Well they have figured this out also, the first bomber would have to be the last to receive so that it doesn't all start over again. His name will be removed from the last along with the first person to get bomb, then at the end he will receive the final bomb to end it all. I think thats how it goes....but i was wondering if it wouldnt be easier to just let the person that got bomb go next and pick his target from the list of available bombees? It would just mean that the last person left wouldn't have a choice but to bomb the person that started it off...  :confused:  :confused:  :confused:

Hey Brian, we were talking about this on the herf and you're going to have to find a way to handle how the first person that gets bombed is handled. We think you're going to need to take that person off the list as well as the person they bombed until the very end and the last person in the pass will bomb the first person to close the loop. Otherwise you will get situations where you're constantly needing to restart the pass because the loop has been closed prematurely and you need to restart fresh with someone who hasn't been bombed yet.

Good point... I volunteered to go first... so I'll take the last hit.   :thumbsup:

Yes please post pics in this thread so we can see and remember what was sent.  Also each person please leave "bomber feedback" for the person who sent you the pass.

Wow this filled up fast, we have 26 and I think I'm going to close it so we get this done before Christmas, lol.  Below is the list of potential bombing people.  As somebody gets hit I will update and remove them from the list.  This will take some work from some geeks to make this work.  Because we don't know where its going, when a bomb lands I will update the pass order so that person is up.  This person will do their fake "puts" and "takes" but don't transition it to another person just yet.  After this person bombs the next Geek I will update the order again, and the original person will then transition it to the person they bombed, then rinse and repeat. Longhorn will throw the first bomb but wont be doing any transitioning, it will start with his person bombed.  By the way, Longhorn will be the last person in play that way we don't have to restart the pass.  So he will not be in play and forced to receive the last bomb.  But of course he you wan't to bomb him on the sidelines, go right ahead.

 Remember we are not breaking the bank here, please try to keep it to 5-7 cigars within the price range.  Bomb whomever you want from the available list only, and remember to post pics in this pass thread as well as leave "bomber" feedback for your bomber.  I will also leave "pass" feedback for everyone at the end.  Because of the large turnout lets try to get back in the mail as soon as possible. Good luck all and thanks for playing, fingers crossed this should go smoothly.

 If any of the newer guys need help getting an address feel free to PM me, I won't say anything. There are a few Geeks not in the States, don't be afraid of leaving the border.

 Brad you wanted to fire off this Friday, but if you want to sooner that's ok too, your call.

Also Please make note in your box that this is the bombing run pass so the person getting it doesn't think its a random bomb.

  you got it, one at a time.  I suggest everyone should have an idea who they want ahead of time assuming they are still there.  That way you can have some cigars ready to go
