Poll for future Bum Events

that sounds good

As much as you love blowing people up anyway the SS would be right up your alley.

The earlier dates would be a good thing. Gives us a bit more time to shop for those sticks we might not normally have. Way too many options to always have a bit of everything.

Not talking about the smoking end of it brother. Talking about the fact that usually after a year in a lot of people have started feeling their way through the higher end sticks. If you do a Noob SS the FTBs would know not to expect an Opus, Behike, Tat Monster, and bottle of Macallen. If you're in a normal SS and everyone is sending around stuff like that but you have one Newer Member/smoker they are not going to be able to give away that kind of stuff because it simply won't be in their stash. Although we are all happy with anything we get and most enjoy the bombing part more then getting bombed...It can make the person sending it feel kind of awkward. Even the Noobs tossed out some awesome bombs last year, I had a member PM me a week before the ship date saying he felt like his pack was inadequate and asked if I could sell him a few higher end sticks to put in his pack. Don't want to have that issue again, I felt horrible for him.

one list might work better, an everyone gets a shot at each other..this is a enjoy thing..nothin expected..Im easy 32' bass boat with dancin floor an girly bar on the bow.

Eligibility to participate: You need to be a new member of less than 2 months (from the final sign up date), or a Friendly Trading Puffer. You must have completed the Noob Sampler Trade, and have at least one positive Trader Feedback (no negative). There is a great amount of trust in a thread like this. Negative feedback will be left for individuals who do not follow through with their end of the bargain...

im sure jimmy would do something along the same lines with a minimum $ amount, trader feedback needed, be so new, remain active on the forum so on

I'll run it just trying to see if we need to do 1 for just noobs 1 one for Vets, or combine them all into 1. There will be a sign up in the events section. Last year it was a last minute thing and we started Sign ups late November with a ship date of the Friday before Christmas I believe. I'd like to get started a little earlier this year. I want to give people more time to plan, and buy things if need be. I'd also like to bump the ship date up a little so all packs are delivered before the mad rush for USPS/UPS. I know a couple of packs got beat up pretty bad last year because of the USPS holiday rush. Maybe do sign ups the First week of November with a ship date during the 2nd week of Dec.

Extra time would be good for any non US member that join into it too to help with border crossing times. Not sure I'll be in in due to finances but for any other international BOTL'S that want in.
