    Yikes. I can't imagine any way where the 12 shipper has a break other than a popped cork. Extras on the other hand were packed tight. Keep me posted and we can figure it out.

    SO, my boss/stepfather just walked out of the office for a few and I ran over to where the box is, tipped it on it's side and sniffed the bottom.

    Rules:

    The rules are very simple, yet throw a little mystery and fun into this round.

    1. There are 12 bottles in the shipper. 8 bottles are uncovered, 4 bottles are wrapped up to remain a mystery. 1 of the covered bottles is designated as the challenge bottle.
    2. When you receive the box, you may take UP TO 9 bottles, which can be a mix between covered and uncovered bottles. Do not attempt to sneak a peak at the covered bottles. Please be honest. The challenge bottle does not count as one of these 9.
    3. A tenth bottle can be taken if it is the challenge bottle. The challenge bottle is covered so you have no idea what is contained within. There will be a challenge note attached to the outside of the bottle. You may read the challenge note. Do not sneak a peek at the bottle that is covered.
    a. If you decide to accept the challenge, you must abide by the rules of the challenge and post it within this thread for all to see that you have completed said challenge.
    b. You must complete the challenge before shipping out the box to the next target.
    c. When challenge has been completed and viewable by all, then you may take the bottle. You must replace the challenge bottle with a new bottle and new challenge.
    d. If you decide not to accept the challenge, reattach the challenge note to the bottle and place back in box.
    4. After you have selected your bottles, replace the bottles that you took with new bottles (please keep in mind quality and distro of your selected target).
    5. Select a random target from the list within the box.
    6. If extras and tits are provided, be courteous and replace what you take.
    7. Do not select a target within same state. We're trying to get people to send outside of distro. Of course, if push comes to shove, then ignore this rule.
    8. After target is selected and bottles replaced, cross of your target on the list and place list back in box.
    9. Ship to selected target.
    10. Rinse and repeat.

    And there you have it folks. That's the basics to the game. Of course, if you have any questions, feel free to shoot me a BM.

    And if memory serves, I show all extras and tits, obvi, but also the uncovered and cover bottles as well. I just don't announce what I take, correct?

    As long as you take the covered bottles, you can show em. Don't open challenge bottle unless it's completed. Challenge is the bottle in the Total Wine bag

    But the real question comes from knowing your vocation and location.....................with what???? A corncob pipe, a pack of stone ground grits, a confederate flag and a Myrtle Manor beer coozie?

    Yep. But keep challenge bottle covered until completed.

    You show all 12, with the covered bottles all covered. Then if you uncover them (excepting the challenge bottle, as the challenge needs to be accepted and completed first) then you can show those too. But they only get unwrapped if you're definitely keeping them, sight unseen.

    @Steve_Oldrati heads up -- I will be at the Grrrz release. I am likely to arrive for the Saturday night share around 9pm-ish and will be there at least until I get bottles on Sunday. Trying to keep the schedule pretty relaxed, but we should coordinate a meeting.

    Also, @FATC1TY helped me out today with some beers that will be coming with me... thanks, Sean!
