Update 1/31 ~ Dumbo PODM Game - 12 Spots Reserved and Making This Game a Go!

Oh yes! Dumbo would still be a prize! :D Here's the pinpics number for the Aurora Pin- it's an LE 1000 and part of a disney catalog set that had the characters that outlined the 1958 disneyland park map :):

Wow very nice! This would be a great addition to my collection if I won that instead too! I can't wait for the game to get started! :D

:lol:! Yes! And thank you! Only 4 more spots to go! :hsd:
 
2 more days for us to fill up this game! Going to be taking pics and figuring out new options today if it ends up not getting enough interest for the 15 spots- one way or another, we'll make it work so you guys have an opportunity at giving this little guy a new home! :D

Maybe a little predictable :lol:

I know!! I forgot all about that clip until I was looking for one that wasn't "baby mine" - but I suppose all dumbos will have the inevitable "awww" reaction... except maybe pink elephants :lol:


Okay... if Dumbo's cuteness hasn't worn everyone down yet.... maybe baby red pandas will!

Thank you for joining in, Amy! :hsd:

We only have 3 spots left to fill! Will we make the cut tomorrow? Or will Story find another way for the game to go on? Tune in to find out~ Same Time, Same Thread!



Thought I'd add a little suspense to the thread :D



thanks so much everyone!! :)
 
:wavey: Hello everyone! I wasn't able to work out posting new options for a 12 spot game instead of 15 today, but I will hopefully be able to post some options by tomorrow evening.

I'm not sure if it would be easier for everyone if I just post a new thread for the game? I haven't looked at the list since I randomized it so I don't know which pins have already been spoken for (or whether or not Dumbo has been picked- it keeps it a surprise for me too until shipping :lol:), so with any option, I think we will be left with re-randomizing and everyone choosing new numbers. (Or everyone can just keep the numbers they picked, and I only include those numbers in the randomizer?)


If anyone has any other suggestions, please feel free to post here! I don't want to overcomplicate matters and definitely want to make this game still go as smoothly as possible =) And of course, if any other members want to join in, that would be an easy fix, but I understand it's a crazy pin time for everyone - just know you wouldn't have to pay till this weekend if that works for you =D (I would ship out Monday as I did last time ;))

Thanks so much for all the interest so far and will update soon with alternate solutions if we don't find 3 more members- hope everyone is having a wonderful evening!!
 
Perhaps you could put all the numbers that people chose in a hat and swish them around. Then pick up each of the pins you'll be using one at a time and choose a number out of the hat? :D Could be more fun than a computer randomizer.

That is a good idea. My only concern would be that it could allow for human error, and I don't want anyone having any doubt that the game is completely randomized, if that makes sense. Doing it via the computer randomizer means it's completely on the computer how everything goes :D


After working on it all morning with my mom (my #1 pin collecting buddy and co-host for this game ^.^), I think I have it sorted out now. The game can now be a go with 12 spots, and PMs will be sent out shortly to make sure all 12 spots are still good to go :bigthumb:


I will post here with updates and thanks everyone so much for participating!! :wavey:
 
PMs sent to everyone but jsutherin1 as your PM box is full (I got it all ready to send to you though :D)
