I'd already sent to package out via UPS by the time I saw your PM's/emails so there wasn't anything to discuss. I don't get the "acted the way you did" part, WTF did I do? Changing the rules in the middle of the game (penalty sticks) and NOT knowing your postal abbreviations is what caused the problem here, not me.
Put yourself in my place, I come home at midnight on Friday, three days before Election Day and there's a box at my back door. I had no idea what it even was, no PM's or emails telling me it was coming, etc. I open it up on Saturday (after 12:00 p.m., the post office was already closed), figure out what this THIRTEEN POUND box is then, realize it's your pass so I check the thread only to see this:
I'm like, "geographicly" (sp - no such word
) how is North Carolina to Connecticut to MISSISSIPPI to New Jersey in any kind of order that makes sense at all? THEN seeing I owe some friggin "penalty" that WAS NOT part of the rules when I asked in?So, I'm supposed to cough up eight "penalty" Havanas ($50.00+ worth of cigars) AND spend $20.00 to ship this to Mississippi and not be the slightest bit upset by this?
Yeah, okay, right........ I deserved to be flamed? I don't think so.
C'mon, I want to see the opinions of those who
Never mind PM's where ya only hear one side of the story, read the thread, decide for yourself and have the guts to post openly

Jason doesn't wanna lug a 14 pound box twenty blocks on foot through downtown Manhattan to the post office in November and I don't blame himother1 said:
Then of course ya got the mail-signed-for-and-received-by-the-aparment-building scenario that doesn't necessarily mean that Jason received it that day so when does the penalty stick clock start running?
Once again, box weight & penalty sticks factors..........
At least these issues are up for reconsideration........

Calm down everyone
The make up of this box was a mistake at the outset. The use of 2 otters added weight and bulk. I saw that when the box came to me. How to correct this at this point is a problem. Smartest thing would be to remove the otters and substitute a couple of Tupperware type boxes.
Penalizing players for being late only creates hard feelings as shown now. Lets cut some slack and eliminate this feature of the pass and everyone get on with it.

I think that what got this thing started down the wrong track was Barney's big heart. Original pass was going to be 10 people, ended up twice that big. Literally got too big. Let's keep the spirit of this thing going, it's been a lot of fun.
