Bob,
If you don't have issue with it, that's cool :thumbs: We just disagree
I look at it like this: In every other pass we've ever had, the pass starter gets his spoils once his pass comes home. Why then in this pass does Barney get his spoils DURING the pass? Why not wait until the end?
Honestly, would you have put yourself in the front or back of the list if this were your pass? You're a self-proclaimed cheap old bastard, but I have experienced your generosity and consider you to be a fine BOTL. Based on interacting with you for a year and a half I seriously doubt you would have.
Cheers,
Dixie
I look at it like it is a bunch of mini-passes in a whole big pass. Barney started it off and he took his cigars. This time gregor starts it off and he takes his when it comes back. etc etc etc. It's not that hard to understand guys. Everyone is always ASSuming and not asking questions, which is rather sad.

"Penalty stick" rule was added AFTER many if not all people signed up. You may think it's a great idea but the point is ya can't change the rules in the middle of the game, it's just plain not fair. The pros and cons of the penalty stick angle on this have been debated and even Barney agreed to remove it.
All I can say is that anyone who doesn't very quickly realize that this pass was began with the intention of benefitting the originator and only the originator really hasn't looked at things very closely or really done any math at all on this thing, period. If anyone else manages to benefit from it then that's just a side effect really and has nothing to do with how the original concept was designed. Think pyramid.
Members only participating in our community with the intention of getting ahead at the expense of other members really is one of the things that has gone so terribly wrong with our site here.
Anyone who wants to help the guy out with that is perfectly free to do so. And as long as your being so generous perhaps you could help the guy get a free ipod as well. :thumbs:

New York (moki) to California (Barney) ain't exactly the most efficient pass order. Hell that's even worse than the North Carolina to Connecticut to Mississippi to New Jersey fiasco :0 I suspect Barney figured moki would be overly generous as usual.
But who am I to criticize........
An interesting observation though. Nice pass order Barney, you made out well

Gonna add my two cents worth here. First let me state I have no problem with anyone here. Everyone has their opinions and I respect each one. What happened with CC on the wine and the pass was unfortunate. I don't know what motivated Barney or CC in those incidents. I was in the Gobbstopper Pass in the first round. I willingly played by the rules and was happy to do so. I dropped out on the second round because of all the bad blood that seems to be developing out of passes. I don't know if I will participate in passes anymore but that is not the point of this post. I will say I have done business with Barney several times and have been pleased with the results. He did make one mistake once in a transaction when my cigars made a brief stop in sunny Las Vegas. That was corrected quickly and ended up with good results. I've never done business with CC but would do so in a heartbeat. His input has helped make this board what it is. I guess what I'm trying to say is lets resolve our differences. I would like to believe any inproperity in the goings on here is unintentional and and can be worked out. Lets get back to being the friendly place this board can be.
Peace out

And as an additional bonus for Moki he gets to add cigars for everyone else in the pass until it's finally his turn to be the "gob benificiary" some time next decade. I'm sure his take when the time comes will be just as good as Serebig's was. In the unlikely event that it begins to look like it won't be though, perhaps he can make a post something along these lines.
And look at poor Montes listing on the first post of this thread. The poor, poor guy was labeled as a lame licker. How cruel! :angry2: How many of you would like to forever be known as a lame licker?? How embarrasing!! :blush:
While were at it, heres something else I posted over a month ago. A little something I found pinned at the top of the open cigar passes section. Not that it has any relevence here or anything I'm sure.
servebig said:hey folks just a reminder here...i put 25 great cigars in there and it looks as if when this thing makes it back around and goes out again i will get..ummmmmmmm about 25 cigars. so for those of you that appreciate my initial efforts, remember this ok?

Well review this thread and this thread and tell me if you still think he doesn't have some striking resemblances to gamehumper.
Ya think the "sweat off his balls" was a "lighthearted attempt of humor" and honestly, review his BS and tell me that you think Barney is not being "harsh" and I am.
Defending Barney is misguided at the least........

Monte's labeling is pretty harsh, any pass host could make the same designation on one person who they thought deserved it. At the same time, a little tact is needed so as to not generate hard feelings and to just move on from there. It isn't just the attack on Monte that is problematic, but the statement that he put behind ccat's moniker that he "dishonored" the pass is also unnecessary. This is a guy who has been here a long time and who has paid his dues. It's one thing to amicably disagree, and I know that we all tend to lose it once in a while before coming to our senses, but ccat in no way messed up the pass order, or was it disorder? His point was valid on that. Even as a newbie, I know that when you start a pass, you need to have some clockwise or counterclockwise plan that lessens the cost and burden for everyone involved as best you can. The ccat you know and love is still the same guy, it's just that others should not take pot-shots at him or other members because they get called on problems or perceived problems created through obtuse posts.

Now the Barney-Brigade may call posts like mine "sticking your nose where it don't belong" when if fact it is a self-moderating board at work.
Barney put himself on the downhill side of a $hit slope and he don't like how it tastes.......

I have a problem, your P/T's are completely lopsided AGAINST you.
I think you are insane.
Steve R makes some very convincing arguments HERE for the "EQUAL PUTS FOR EQUAL TAKES" philosophy.
Your Millenium is worth at least three times more than a '64 Diplomatico (never mind the rarity factor), the Diplo for the VR seems fair but why add TWO premium sticks?
If I were you I'd keep the Hemingway maddie and re-think your PAM '64/Millenium play.
