is it me or the booze? Did the prize #'s change from two days ago? I had the Frazetta SC as prize #26 now is #25? and the Gerber book as prize #28 now its #27?

It is the perfect storm of bad timing and lack of outside communication methods beyond the board.

And if he is kicked off/suspended from the board-- the odds that he is watching this prize selection seem very low.

Perhaps we need to consider a rule if this happens going forward-- similar to how people exclude HOS folks from buying or being in the raffles. Not quite that intense perhaps but in order to eliminate both prizes being picked and offered by individuals who cannot communicate through the boards.

And we also need to consider if we need to pull the two prizes off the list at this time.

Sorry guys, had to run in to work and put out a fire.

Yes, already figure we will need a rule in the future.  I'd like to call it the Kav rule if he's ok with it  

I can't find any record of a strike.  Anyone know how long?

Yes, I changed the order a bit a few days ago as guys who posted a placeholder then came back in and posted the prize at the end of the thread.

ok updating

Ok, I've made an executive decision.  Can't wait forever on Kav so I will skip him and send him a prize tailored to him - I have lots of stuff in my basement he should like - or he can pick from the remaining prizes.  I imagine he did something dumb to get the strike but he did compete and place well and he's donated two nice prizes and I won't let him down.

As far as his donations I think he's an honorable guy but pick them at your own risk.
