I'm with everyone else on this. We understand the needs of education...however I do remember when I was taking an above average amount of courses to complete my first degree (I was taking 7 courses a semester) and yet I still had plenty of leisure time in between the course work to do a variety of things... Alas...I know my experience was different...but the reality is that based on your courses schedule and possible workload... it would appear you do have significant time gaps that could be adequately used to please our situation and finalize this draft/have everything ship.
Now, I'm not super worried about the photos or the quality of the packaging or well much...I just want the items to have shipped already before the Christmas bustle starts which as we all know November into December is when that starts to really occur...but alas...the point is made.
The sooner the better please and thanks.
Matt

Sorry RBC, I understand being busy trust me. However if you want to make us all "happy", please stay on top of getting pictures, packing and shipping. Dont let your studies slip by any means, however please folow through and get us regular updates. Please ship ASAP, so we can get this wraped up. If I was there I would have given you a hand to get this all completed. Please try to a lot at least 30 min a day to get this finished. Thanks, Curt I will spend at 1 hour a day, (more if I have the time) to get this finished. My school work comes first and foremost, but apart from that, all free time (that is not spent doing something important or with family) will be spent on the draft. I am done filling out the customs forms, and and print off shipping lables now. I will be removing all of my picks from the pile prior to photographing, so I do not accidentally mix something up. While I am thinking of it, are there any last-minute trades? Also, Gideon (Jonas) if you would like some capes to be included, then please place an order in my BL store over the next few days, so that I can have an official record of the capes you want, just in case anything happens and any of my PMs get deleted. Thanks, ~RBC

Also, Gideon (Jonas) if you would like some capes to be included, then please place an order in my BL store over the next few days Sorry, I was waiting for a reply on my question regarding if there were other banners than those in the BL store or if those are all the designs you are selling? I don't mind waiting a few more weeks for my bricks if I could get a couple of Kingdoms lions and/or Kingdoms dragons banners

Great! If it's ok to hold off the shipping of my bricks until then I'll gladly wait in order to save shipping costs I've been hoping to get some "Loreesi"/"Kaliphlin" custom banners for a while and wouldn't mind an "Avalonian" one either So please don't put time into packing my shipment right now if you don't want to, it seems like there are others who are in a more pressing need of their bricks

Alright. Sounds good! You can always order custom printed products. I would be more then happy to waive the $2-$3 proccessing fee that I normally charge for custom printed designs. Send me (preferably via PM) a list of all the designs that you'd like, even if I do not currently sell them, and we can work through the logistics together, Gideon.

I think this goes without saying, but make sure that Gideon's order doesn't hold up everyone else's please I don't really see a reason why photos are needed. Taking pics of everyone's stuff will take time. Uploading the photos and adding descriptions takes time. People reviewing the photos to confirm all of their lots are there will take time. Everything is adding time to this, and adding time is NOT what we want to do. I advise this: 1- Print off a list that shows who picked what. I assume this is readily available via the Google docs spreadsheet that everyone was using. 2- Make gallon-sized ziplocks with each drafter's name on it. 3- Grab a lot from your sorted pile, and find it on the list. 4- Put it in the person's bag who drafted it, and check it off. 5- Repeat #3 and #4 until all lots are in the proper ziplock. 6- Package each person's goods and ship. Steps 1-5 should take no more than 30 mins - 1 hour. Packaging takes another 30 mins. Then take them to the PO as soon as you have time. If you pre-pay for labels for domestic orders, those can be dropped off even after the Post Office closes for the day, which would only leave you to deal with the international orders, one of which is Gideon, if I recall my geography correctly, and he's waiting for capes anyway. Sound good? Make it happen!

Sound good? Make it happen! Your idea is MUCH BETTER, than what I had in mind! One thing though, if I order shipping labels online (through PayPal), can I ship the international orders this way, or just domestic (U.S.) orders?

Just domestic. International will require going to the post office and having the customs form get stamped.

Ak hit it on the head. Thats what we did when we our packageing. Jen printed off our spread sheet, we had all the sorted lots with # on the bag that coralated to the draft list. When it was time to pack we checked the list found the proper lodt # and put in the persons box took 45 min, then on to final packing. At this point skip photos now get everything sorted and packed. I know most of us will be double checking parts when they get to us. Keep us posted.

I'm with AK and Lilcurt. Skip the photos, skip most of the hassle and get the stuff in the mail.
