More Package Exchanges?

[Promethius]

I want to do some more package exchanging. Problem being, neither I nor anyone I've talked to has the energy to oversee a massive "Person A -> Person B -> Person Z -> Person F -> Person A" exchange of logistical doomy-doom-doom like we had before. So, I have another idea.

- If you want to do an exchange, fill out the form below and post it in this thread.

- If you want to "claim" a poster for an exchange, quote their form and fill out one of your own, except obviously change "Number of Exchangees Wanted" to their name. Of course, if you called their mother dirty names/brought a pitbull to their birthday party/looked at them funny that one time, they have the right to refuse you!

Once you're paired up, PM/YIM/whateverM your address/etc. to your partner. Then, prepare them a package and send it off! Packages should be roughly the size of a shoebox, with a value of roughly $10 unless otherwise agreed upon by both parties. I would SUGGEST sending it either Delivery Confirmation or some other method with a tracking number to make sure if and when it got there. Once you've gotten your package, post a description and/or pictures so that we can all enjoy. ;D

PLEASE, for the sake of courtesy, if you can't assure yourself and your partner that you'll be able to send out their package within a week or two, don't sign up and then flake out. We all know stuff is constantly going on like moving and finals and such, but just be honest about it and don't be offended if someone doesn't want to wait months for it.

DISCLAIMER: If your partner flakes out on you, neither I nor Bite admins are responsible for it. If your partner sends you a box of flaming cat poop, neither I nor Bite admins are responsible for it. If you take an international partner, and get to the post office and realize that international postage is ungodly expensive (it is), neither I nor Bite admins are responsible for it. If the world ends tomorrow, there's a good 80% chance neither I nor Bite admins are responsible for it.

Aaaaaaaand I'll start.

Name: Matt

Age: 28

State/Country: Michigan

Likes/Dislikes: Dollar Store craziness is awesome. I love hearing new music, especially acoustic/folk, progressive rock, electronica and chillout. I love candy. I'm big on comics, but hate anime. I'm a pen-and-paper RPG nerd, and always adore dice. I'm a recently-ordained minister and I love hearing about different and interesting spiritual beliefs. I am also a disgusting pig of a man and enjoy beer, dirty jokes, and naked women. I collect tiny containers and meaningful substances (for instance, I have a tube of soil from my parents' farm, pieces of a tumbleweed, and gravel from a mountaintop - I'd love some lava ash if it doesn't violate some sort of religious taboo). I...think that's enough for now, but if you need more just ask!

International Exchangees OK?: Canada Only

Number Of Exchangees Wanted: I'll take anyone that wants to, within reason. I guess if I get 20 people or something, I'll edit this to say I'm full, but for now the more the merrier.

Other Important Info: Please don't mark up the outside of the box with anything embarrassing, I'll be having these sent to my work address to make it cheaper for anyone who wants to send something UPS or FedEx. Put all the embarrassment you want inside.

[Saikeria Moore]

Name: Marissa.

Age: Twenty.

State/Country: Wisconsin, US.

Likes/Dislikes: I like art, arts and crafts, home made stuff, and cats. I dislike anything excessively messy. Plz no glitter, heaven knows my dog will eat it. Pretty much anything else is fun, though.

International Exchangees OK?: Yeah.

Number Of Exchangees Wanted: Any?

Other Important Info: Nada, atm.

Matt sucks for not exchanging to England. That's all I have to say for now. >.> Oh, and that it's nice to see this happen again. I said I'd join in this time but I'll wait a bit to see if there's any point =P

[Promethius]

Well, I promised Sinny's human that I'd do one with her already, and postage on even a medium-size non-box PACKAGE is like $30+. Sooo...one of those, or like six domestic ones. :\

Edit: and what do you mean by waiting to see if there's a point? If you want to do an exchange, just fill out the form and post it. If everyone ends up waiting for someone else to post something, this is gonna go nowhere fast.

[Jackie O'Collin]

Name: Jackie

Age: Sixteen

State/Country: Massachusetts, USA

Likes/Dislikes: I like anything obscene. I recently really got into Alex Pardee's art. I like music, and anything handmade and cute. Things that have meaning behind them. Books (good ones.) Anything artsy, drawing, paintings, doodles of randomness. I love anything involving film, and the film industry. Anatomically correct organs, and things that smell good. Dinosaurs, Pokemon, and most importantly Zombies. I love everything Zombie.

International Exchangees OK?: Naw, I'm poor. Maybe Canada.

Number Of Exchangees Wanted: No more than five, since I'm... well, poor.

Other Important Info: Don't be shy, I'm open to anything!

[Damari]

Ahh I wish I could this round. Spread a little Christmas Cheer. Alas, not likely to be able to fit it into an already jammed financial obligation to cross hemispherical families.

Happy Ho Ho to everyone if I fail to wish all well later on. Blessings on your house, Mazel Tov, Mazel Tov.

[Louvain]

I wish I could but I'm totally wonked for money.. and gonna be homeless. If someone wants to send me a house, though, that'd be great?

I might poke around my finances and see if I can spread some cheer, but yeah.

[Katastrophe St. John-Talon]

*waves* I may not be playing right this minute, but I saw Matt's status on Y!M and figured I'm game.

Name: Kat

Age: 30

State/Country: Texas

Likes/Dislikes: I got a lot of cool stuff from Ace's player last time, and she was naughty because I know there was no way that all cost less than $10. I'm game for just about anything anyone wants to send. A little birdie told me to mention that I'm registered at Babies R Us, but I"ll virtually stab anyone that spends a lot of money on me. I love reading paranormal romance and anything related to reading or writing would be awesome.

International Exchangees OK?: No. Sorry, but if I'm going to do this, I'll have to keep the cost down somehow.

Number Of Exchangees Wanted: Just one please.

Other Important Info: To make this a little fun for me, I'd like to request that whoever I'm given is over 18. I had to restrict what I sent last time because the person I got was under age. And yeah, whomever I get should be willing to receive something strange...

I'm sorry I didn't have time to organize this Matt. My job has me working 70+ hours a week. Life of a truck driver, *sighs* but I'm loving it.

((on a side note: I have had an opportunity to meet a few players since taking up the trucker hobby. I'm running alot of Indiana, MI, MO, IA, IL and KY. Justin/Liander, I wish I had your phone number Friday, I would have bought dinner. ;D I had to sit around in Simpsonville to miss Louisville rush hour . ))

I love the idea of sending things from the house. It allows -me- to send something much nicer than what $10 can buy and forces me to sort through my things.

Age: 44

State/Country: Kansas

Likes/Dislikes: I like natural/earthy type things. Anything homemade is always good.

International Exchangees OK?: Sure

Number Of Exchangees Wanted: whoever wants to exchange with me is fine

Other Important Info: We can talk in detail about likes/dislikes in Y!M

[◞◯◟]

Unfortunately I'm in the "no money" boat with a few other people.

But if anyone's passing through the Philadelphia/NYC region, I'll buy you some pizza?

[Volt]

Sadly, I'm broke, and saving what money I have to pay my insurance the beginning of next month, then christmans and anniversary shit. Oh and I have to buy a new car... -.- This economy can suck my nuts... Although if someone's in the Orlando area, I can arrange something...



Edited because I can't fucking type for shit tonight -.-

Pfft, I see how it is. =P I was joking anyway.

And I mean, waiting to see if anybody from England does it, or someone willing to ship internationally if I have enough money (which I probably don't). So thur.
