I’m with Elendil’s Heir: you are no slacker and we’d love an opportunity to add to you postcard collection.

Many thanks to **Why Child** and **Elendil’s Heir** for bumping up the thread for me today. I had good intentions of doing so myself but my employer had other ideas. The nerve.

We are closing in on the deadline: midnight tonight, Pacific Daylight Savings Time. Yes, **Ulf the Unwashed** , you made it by the deadline (just barely :)). And, **Baker** , honey, you signed up when the thread was first posted; you can’t sign up twice.

We have 30 players this round (I counted **Baker** only once), which is a great turnout. Unfortunately, that doesn’t work out to even groups so I will probably ask a couple of the old hands to send extras. If you’re game to send to more than three folks, drop me a quick PM on Thursday. I’ll be sending out the PMs with your recipients names and addresses on Friday.

Ok, players, PMs with the names and addresses of your postcard recipients have all been sent. You have until August 14 to get your postcards in the mail, but don’t wait: send early, send often. 😃

Ready, set, GO!

Oh dear. I sent them all before noon Pacific time.

Anyone have an idea what to do now? Do I go try to find a mod somewhere? ☹

We can’t see users private messages, so I can’t tell if they’ve been sent or not. Maybe give it a chance for the PMs to be delivered and checking the sent box is a good idea. If they aren’t in the sent box, I’d advise trying again.

Sorry I couldn’t be more help.

Thanks, **IvoryTowerDenizen**. They were not in my sent folder, so I have resent every. single. blessed. one. of. them. Good thing I type fast. 🙂

Everyone except **Big Norse** should have a PM now. **Big Norse** , you need to turn on the setting that allows you to receive private messages **or PM me with your email address so I can sent you your list**. The SDMB system won’t let me send a PM to you.
