    Just a REMINDER: boxes must reach your target before October 27. I wouldn't recommend cutting it too close.

    On that note, my box will likely depart on Monday (subject to change, but it's definitely going out next week). Doesn't seem like my target (or anyone else, or that matter) is on to me. Except for @pnelting, who is a puzzle-solving master.

    Possibly my last extension of hints.

    Hint #1: Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovell
    Hint #2: Uncle Acid
    Hint #3: Oblivians
    Hint #4: Epsilons
    Hint #5: Intelligence
    Hint #6: Sadahiro Yamada
    Hint #7: Robedoor
    Hint #8: Electrelane
    Hint #9: Umberto
    Hint #10: Nadja

    {end of hints}

    Ultimate Decoder Hint: Four words in the form of a question (one of those words is a proper noun). Individual hints and words mean nothing, don't overthink it. The solution won't explicitly spell out my target's name, BA handle, or state, but it will specifically call out one person.

    Trader

    Hint #1 My target lives in a state that is not as big as my own
    Hint#2 my target lives in a place that is approximately 10 times more populated than my whole state. You also have more registered machine guns than there are people in my home town of Sitka
    Hint#3 Catfish
    Hint#4 Speaking of ghosts. There is a place in my targets town that is famously haunted.
    Hint#5 My target has a brewery in their city that also hosted Zwanze day. Did you get to go?
    Final hint: Both movies, There Will Be Blood and No Country For Old Men, filmed in your state.

    I will be shipping out on Monday. Have a few of your wants in the box, also going to include some things that don't make it out of Alaska.

    Don't have a good lead on my sender, but I know a few it's not. Going to make the rounds this weekend to finish up my box, always like an excuse to get out to a few of these places.

    Hint 4: I like you avatar

    Damn! I've got an idea of what you're talking about and its either super awesome or insanely awesome of you to include in your box for this round!

    Preemptive vote for best box goes to @azuelke

    Got hit unexpectedly with the #GIF box the other day courtesy of @corm44, sorry for the delayed post!

    Here we go!

    The contents!
    [​IMG]
    Signed (faulty) growler. Excited to sign an pass on. Will determine a better solution for the growler aspect, since I've been told that this one will not hold a fill.

    3 crowlers!
    Other Half IPA - always love fresh IPAs, drank this right away and it was great
    Single Cut Weird and Gilly - polishing this one off as I type this post. Another awesome hop shot - dryish, hazy and flavorful!
    Catskill Oat Grisette - not really sure what to expect with this one, but it will be drank soon. New brewery tick!
    Weyerbacher 21 - another already consumed. Thick, roasty, and delish. A new tick for me.
    Mega Boss IPA - Another new brewery tick, will get on this soon.

    Thanks so much for the box @corm44, always fun to have a surprise. I've been a terrible newbie lately and haven't been in here much, but I'll get my shit together an post signups soon for the next round!

    Cheers!

    I have at least a dozen potential senders, but at least I know who my target is.... time for another hint!

    Hint #1.... Shipping West.
    Hint #2... It appears my target does not have a swimming pool.
    Hint #3.... The largest lake in your state is saline.
    Hint #4.... Your state, unlike mine, was not threatened by Hurricane Matthew.

    Content Hint- I'm making a quick funeral trip to Ohio tomorrow, but I'll be able to hopefully secure another want from your list while I'm there!

    @pnelting dropped some awesomeness on my porch yesterday. I just moved in a month ago and shoot dude, that thing is crumbling like crazy.

    [​IMG]
    Martin House Big Hoppa IPA: Wow, very well made and drinkable for 12%.
    The Collective Brewing Project Petite Apricot Golden Sour: Definitely pumped for this

    [​IMG]
    I had a good laugh as I pulled a Prairie Apple Brandy Noir out of the box as I mentioned it as a want in Slack earlier that very same day. Instant gratification!

    Wrapped Halloween bottles and sweet extras family shot

    Hint #1 - One of my targets hard to get local wants is available on tap near my current location!
    Hint #2 - I have never sent beer to my target before.
    Hint #3 - My target's name on BA is at least somewhat based on their name in real life.
    Hint #4 - Shipping South.
    Hint #5 - Went shopping at lunch today for my target. I'm having trouble hitting your wants. You have less wants than me and the ones from CA are tough to get (some are impossible for me to get in bottles). Add more wants? I'll ship next week I think, so you have time!
    Hint #6 - You are on the east coast near the ocean.
