The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

Oh yeah I didn't include my own take; I agree that it should be counted as round 2. There was a great turnout for it.

 

I'll take that as a Second. Voting by Acclamation, any opposed?

 

Seconded

 

In for sixterhood if not too late, in for calling the summer 6er round 2.

 

+1 on that sixterhood, too

 

Just realized fridge space is gonna be tough after this... got a box of goodies from a friend of mine (actually a reg in SWTFYW) and that's taking up a ton of space, though some of the stuff could be taken out and put away for a while, I suppose. Drinking a Drake's 1500 Pale Ale from that box now, quite tasty

 

Let's get this officially kicked off....

NBO - Sixterhood trip #2

If you would like to be in consideration to be the recipient of a 6-shipper box filled with Texas brewed goodies (and possibly some wants), please BM me your shipping address. If you would prefer to skip this trip and sign up for a future trip, don't send me your address and wait for the next person to post their NBO to sign up.

Signup period ends at 10pm Saturday Sept 20th. At that time I will randomly select the recipient and start posting hints as to who it is. Box will be shipped on Monday or Tuesday.

Trip #1 - Maryland --> Texas (complete)
Trip #2 - Texas --> could be your state!

See official rules below....


----------------------------------------------
How Sixterhood works:

1) The current holder of the Sixterhood box will make a post in the Locals BIF thread saying that the signup period for the next Trip is open and will be open for 2 or 3 days. Anyone that would like to be a potential target for the box would send their address information in a BM to the current holder of the box. To be eligible the person must have:

a) participated in Locals BIF rounds 1, 2 (summer 6'er), OR 3 (current round)
b) have not already received the Sixterhood box.​

2) After the signup period is over, the current holder will randomly pick the next lucky recipient of the Sixterhood box. They will not announce this person nor the number of people that signed up, but instead will start posting hints as to where the box is going (BIF style hints). If no one signs up to be the next recipient then, as the original founder, heystevec will be the final recipient (hopefully without him knowing that it is coming to him).

3) The holder of the Sixterhood box will fill the box with high quality local bottles or wants and ship it to the target. Make it a kickass box, but with this group of people I know we won't have to worry about that. Also, add the targets name to the tracking board in the box and add any 'decorations' that you wish to help commemorate the box's visit to your state.

4) Once the box is received by the target, they will post the pr0n for all to enjoy.

5) Start over at #1

You do not have to enter every signup period. You can pick and choose when you want to be in consideration to be the next recipient. This would be nice if the current holder of the box is from your own state or an adjoining state or if you are going to be out of town for a while or whatever. Jump in and out as you please.

 

Another vote for calling the Summer Sixer Round 2 -- we had 26 people in round 1, 16 in the mini-6 (which seems like enough to call it a round), and up to 29 in the current round. Which, by the way, I just assumed was Round 3 in my "kickoff post" so we've been calling it that for a few days/pages anyway.

 

To avoid this dragging on forever, please everyone try to get your box out within about a week of receipt. Even just 2 weeks, times say 26 participants (90% of the group), is an entire year.

 

In for both as well!

 

Damn, I'm away from my computer for one day and I miss about 100 posts, a few new comers, and an NBO...
Welcome to all of the newcomers. This was my first BIF I got into, and have loved every minute of being a part of this group. Have done some side trades with some of the guys involved and made some great contacts.

Really digging the parameters around the Sixterhood trip and can't wait for Round 3 to get started either.

 

In for the sixterhood. (kinda proud the name stuck, too)

 

I knew of the conversation and know the gist of the discussion. The joke was indeed about Lehigh and his propensity to type within the thread.

And I am down with the Sixterhood. Sixter me up!

 

oh yeah I was thinking somewhere around here cause of your name. I've been jumping around recently but my home base has always been doylestown

 

I'm gonna wait until next round. hopefully I'll have some good $$ to can make it a great one. thanks!

 

OK, no problem.. Thanks.

 

@Mikexw was just curious when are you gonna close the entry for Round 3?

 

I just got confirmation from @raulazzer that he's in, and sent messages to the three folks that haven't responded yet. Then I probably will start putting targets/senders together next week. I guess I'm OK accepting people until the end of next week, unless anyone objects.

 

@raulazzer knows he's allowed to post in the thread, right???

 

I actually messaged a bunch of guys and he responded right away -- he's been travelling on business (and it looks like he liked your post just now).

And we are now at 30 entrants.
