SotM Event #12: GtG's Global Friend Network

Hmm, that's not how it came to me, and I'm not sure it would work: the stamp on the envelope I received wasn't actually cancelled, and I'm pretty sure the post office wouldn't be happy sending it on in the same envelope. Would all the post offices around the world really accept a letter with an array of 20 cancelled stamps already on it? It would look really cool if it happened, though!

 

I'll talk to my post office before sending it on next, and try to get back to something like that original envelope.

Hey, if that system doesn't work, no worries! It was a cool thought, but we'd certainly rather have functionality over a beat-up, non-mailable envelope.

Glad to hear it's still making it's way through the postal system!

If worse comes to worst, you could always just cut the stamp off when you receive the envelope, and have a sheet included inside the envelope to tape or glue the stamp to. It would be kind of patchwork, but it would still tell the story that you are looking for.

So, you don't want us to try and get you in?

Who is this in response to?

Kseanking originally had a line in the post about joining, but removed it.

Yeah, sorry about that. As much as I would love to be a part of this, I thought about it for a minute and I don't really have anyone who will play this game with me consistently. I play it solo for the most part, sometimes with 1 other person. And I didn't want a sad picture of me playing with myself (get your mind out of the gutter, I was talking about the game!) bringing down the vibe of the wall of pictures that will come as a result of this.

I wish I knew more people that enjoy this game, but I have a hard time getting my friends to play anything more complicated than Fluxx…

Well, we can fit you in if you change your mind. If you want to play, just not take a picture thats fine too. Also, if i don't meet up with grysqrl to play, my game will probably be solo too.

Last weekend, Baron Blade's assault on Bloomington was staved off!

He is now on his way to attempt an assault on Indianapolis. Three of the players in this game were new; they were disappointed that the Advanced Baron Blade didn't put up more of a fight! Right after that, we attempted the Dreamer, and that seemed to be suitably difficult.

He's on his way to me! Huzzah!

Chalk up a success for the first Indy group! I "mailed" the packet to the best table over for arenson9 to have his go at it. I'll upload a photo later. :-)

Ha, I was just about to ask about this! PHOTO! PHOTO!

Second group absolutely crushed Baron Blade. We had Oaktree with us, so he'll get to play Baron Blade twice on this circuit. Now to go figure out how I know where to send this to ...

Chicago. 

EDIT: Just PM grysqrl.

One note on mailing it on: I took the envelope to the post office and had them stamp it to postmark it, in hopes that would let this envelope travel on.

I guess the question is whether I have to play the same hero when the package gets to Philadelphia.  :wink:

 

Not sure what you mean, and did not use the same envelope to resend. I did, though, cut out the part of the envelope that had the postmark and send it in the next envelope.

Any updates on where this currently is?  I'm hoping it doesn't die off somewhere.

 I wish people would post here when they get it and send it off. I'd love to watch and see how fast the package moves, but no-one's saying anything. :(

I've yet to get it.
