    If I am able to join, I will be visiting the west coast of Canada in a couple of weeks. So, my target will get a mixture of beer from a couple of countries!

    Whatcha looking for? You never know what I'll stumble across - I know of one beer store in Bamberg and I'm sure there's probably at least one in Munchen and one in Nuremberg.

    I just checked, and there are 17 bottles of the Trailer Park Boys swill at the liquor store around the corner from me. It’s definitely going in a box or two if you liked that last post.

    Does paint thinner count as swag, or as ounces toward the minimum total? I’m leaning towards the former.

    I think a few of us are going to fall off and land on the same side of the fence pretty soon :wink:

    I appreciate the tag. I'm in debate if I'll participate right now. Been spending quite a bit on Side Project visits, and some other endeavors, so I don't know if a BIF is smart for me right now. That, and a few other moving pieces that aren't set could change my spring quite a bit. These next couple weekends will decide a lot for me.

    I'll let you know before March 17th.

    Really considering this one. I know that I'm a total stranger and no one here knows me :wink::grin:. This time frame isn't perfect, but September is pretty much the worst. So, if I want to have any hope of participating in a NBS BiF, I pretty much have to commit to this one!

    Decisions, Decisions.

    Damn you all!

    Technically, Estonian Ticks is on the table. We used something else that round.

    I Hear that people have been really raising the ante in the last couple BiFs. Something about sending out 6 boxes between the actual BiF and LiFs.

    Man, you guys have really stepped up your game. This isn't for the faint of heart. Was the last BiF called Absolute Overkill??? Because, I feel like you guys are killing it.

    Big reputation to live up to if I sign up this round!

    6 boxes? My man, that's child's play. Some of us send 3 boxes to our actual target alone. Between LIFs and ninjas, I'm pretty sure I've sent out at least 8 boxes other than to my actual target - and I'm way down the list!

    We do this every round, though. :slight_smile:

    In all seriousness, we'd love to have you. There's no pressure at all to keep up with the crazier of our members. Some of us enjoy sending beer as much as receiving it, but in no way are we expecting return fire. If we needed perfect reciprocity, we'd stick to trading. :slight_smile:

    Shoot, I don't even want to count how many boxes I've sent out

    It is a lot of fun, in part because there are no expectations beyond the BIF requirements. No whales necessary. No LIFs required. You can be 1 and done, or 12 and done and everyone is happy.

    I think I found the sweet spot last round. I didn’t join officially, so I was able to send boxes out at times convenient to me. Plus, It allowed me to limit the beer coming into an already ‘over-beer’d’ home by not having an official sender. Also, with international rules in place prohibiting cross border retaliation and ninjas, I was in complete control.

    Hmmm… maybe I should rethink my participation this time round. That worked out quite well…


    In other news, BIF 14 southward assault update:

    Box 1 of 3 on hold for vacationing target.

    Box 2 of 3 on track for delivery tomorrow.

    Box 3 of 3 not yet through customs on its way east…
