    This. OP stated there were 24 people, including someone who (still) has not posted once. Since then, two more people who were not originally listed, you and poorpatz, have said they're also in the BIF. I'd be plenty happy if there's actually 26, and OP just miscounted. I'd be just fine if someone was in the wrong thread as long as they eventually figure it out and can have fun in the correct thread. I honestly just want to know what is actually going on, cuz it's messing with my brain. Also, it's making sender-guessing a bit harder, as is the general lack of hints from some confirmed participants! Get it together guys! :slight_smile:

    edit: 'you' = rspauldi.

    Sounds like a pretty good argument. I'm convinced that you're in it (I even think I have a good guess at who your target is); I guess we are all wondering if I_Bye_MI_Beer (probably not) and/or Poorpatz (no clue) are in this. And regarding sanity, you three are all still possible senders for me; other than you three, I'm down to only three other possibilities.

    Hint 1- shipping west
    Hint 2- shipping south
    Hint 3- the state I'm shipping to has a pro sports team in all of the 4 major sports
    Hint 4- the state I am shipping to has a larger population than my state
    Hint 5- the state I am shipping to has over 2x the land area of my state.
    Hint 6- the state that I am shipping to does not have an animal on their state flag

    To my target, I might get the box dropped off tomorrow. If I don't drink to many beers today.

    OK -- thank you @kgncfl. The quality (of the picture, not the beer) sucks, but at least I figured out how to do this. My target had a different beer from this brewery on his wants; I couldn't find it but picked this up. I can keep looking, but if my target would be satisfied with this, he can just like this post.[​IMG]

    I just finished packing up my box. I didn't go crazy on the quantity, however, my target will be receiving 184 ounces of beer with an rAvg of 4.0. Those 184 ounces are mostly made up of my targets requested styles including 3 wants. The box will be dropped off tomorrow and should be delivered by the end of the week.

    Same for my target - couldn't find Lunch so substituted another MBC beer. MBC must be between Lunch shipments. Or Lunch demand outstrips supply.

    Yeah I was shocked -- the place I went to had a couple of MBC beers on the shelves, but had neither my target's want or Lunch. When I was checking out, I saw a Maine bottle behind the counter and asked what it was (too far away to see) and was pleasantly surprised. All their stuff is amazing though.

    I've tried a number of MBC's beers, but yet to find a Lunch... :slight_frown:

    Just packed up my target's box. It will go out Tuesday and should be there by Friday. It is a big ass box filled with locals and semi-locals including a 4 pack of my target's wants. Went up to the max. Get ready for some fresh growlers and some fresh canned IPA's!

    Based on all of my research, I've narrowed my list down to 3 possible senders: EA728, Nro, and mklisz. Not sure if I'm gonna get a chance to narrow it down any more than this, not even sure if I'm right, but thought I'd throw it out there.

    BTW, hope everyone had a nice long weekend!

    Sorry all....

    Was non-communicado (purposefully) for the holiday weekend.

    Hint #1

    Shipping in a southerly direction.

    Just read through the thread.

    Be more than happy to still participate in this awesome BIF - but, I was out of town and only signed in last night.

    If I've been written off, I completely understand - but I still have a target and I would hate for them to lose out as they have already posted in this thread a couple of times (Hint #2)?

    Plus, I send nice boxes so there is that.:slight_smile:

    Hint #1 - I'm shipping North.
    Hint #2 - The first letter of the state that I am shipping to is a consonant.

    Hint #3 - The state that I am shipping to has all 4 major league sports.

    You were only "written off" in so far as people assumed you were not in it and did not have a target. If you have a targer, please continue sending to them. My assumption at this point is that everyone claiming to be in the BIF actually is in it, and OP just can't count :wink:

    That's what I assumed as well, and I guess written off was a poor choice of words so my apologies:wink:

    I have a target - should have a box airborn sometime next week.

    Hint #1 - Heading southerly
    Hint #2 - My target has posted in this thread

    considering you're (presumably... anyone else wanna come out of the woodwork??) the last person to post, your #2 hint isn't hugely valuable :wink:

    Doh!

    Hint #3 - My target does not have a lot of wants - but I'll be hitting one of them.
