    OK, to spice things up a bit, I'ma start a LIF(Lottery It Forward). If you win, you must start another LIF, using your own parameters.

    Anyone who is signed up for NBS BIF 8 is ineligible for this LIF.

    This weekend, my local 9, the Seatthole Mariners are facing The Evil Empire in a 3 game set. Clearly, tha Yanquis will win. Make your best guess as to the total runs scored by both teams. Closest answer wins a small box. Entries close at 7pm, Pacific time, Friday.

    In case of tie, earliest answer wins.

    Good luck homeslices!

    I think either is fine. If a brewery specializes in one style, you might not want to send 3 similar beers in case your target doesn't appreciate the style; if their offerings are diverse and new to the target, go for it.

    I agree! And definitely respect the likes and dislikes of your target.

    This is a good time to remind folks to update their wants/haves, and to add some details to your profiles about style preferences, shirt size, etc. Definitely not required, but lots of us really enjoy including a shirt or a piece of glassware, sometimes a food item, etc.!

    Is it cool if I just put my Un tapped handle on the bio? I don’t have any BA beer ticks.

    Speaking of untappd, I'm probably gonna friend request (or whatever it's called on untappd) everybody here (if I can figure out their untappd name) -- NOT just my target. So feel free to request me -- mikexw in both places.

    Added you, Mike!

    On that topic - add people to Untappd during sign-ups. If you add just one or two people during Hints & Hauls, they'll always think you're their sender (this was totally the case in my last round of Newbies).

    This is also fun for misleading people, FYI. :grin:

    Yes, that's actually why I said this. I think I once posted "I am not untappd friends with my target", then requested everybody, and two days later said "I take that back" and misled a lot of people. Not that I won't find another way to accomplish that...

    I’m bstoos on both and only check-in beers on one. Feel free to add me, too. I’ll request my target and sender at the end if they don’t do it first.

    I'll go with 20 runs. As an A's fan, it's a win-win series.
