caldigger Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 The problem with the A to C scenario is, it is not a bunch of players in one area switching with one another. I try to match someone up in a region hopefully not in their hunting area. "A" is sending a package to "C" which is international, but "C" chooses to only ship locally, that means I have to draw from a different pool of local players. But the number of players in each shipping catagory are not equal, therefore you have to find ways so everyone can be satisfied with their shipping preferences. That is the big hurtle to jump over. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 7,6,5,4,3,2,1 exchange is assuming you have 14 ( even number ) of players. We don't! I'm working with something more like 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 4,3,2,1 you can't satisfy even exchanges with an odd number playing. The member I am shipping to has specific shipping that is problematic with the rest of the players. I, therefore will take care of that one myself so the rest can play as planned. It's not a big deal, let's move on from this discussion and enjoy our game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get sent to Morocco, get to spend time with Tidgy AND a chameleon, make lemonaid and maybe you'll get to tour one of the factories where they make the trilobites. Who knows, you might even get a custom made one, just for you. 1 Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties.

So is it permissible to say something like, “It’s smaller than a breadbox and rhymes with wossil?” I’m pretty sure they will never guess what is in the package.
