    Well it looks like the recipient is no longer interested in playing so I will send out another box on Monday.

    Sorry for the massive mistakes on my part and the delays that have transpired since.

    It's time to kiss and tell. This is getting ridiculous.

    That means that the TARGET should be a secret, not the SENDER. Especially when that sender seems to be stealing beer. There, I said it.

    It's been nearly a month and the sender has not done ANY of the things that are expected in a BIF, including identifying themselves, showing pron of the box they received, or given any indication that they are going to send the box back out.

    To be fair, justin said he was out and yet still got a box. He's clearly fucking with yall. He said a box should go out soon. I can see the frustration on both ends, but I don't think this is a situation to be sanctimonious in. Let it play out, eh?

    I usually only say good things but can't defend someone who has no communication

    If the box is not sent out By Monday, I will personally pack up another box and send it to someone else. I remember a few names on the list, so I will just pick a new target.
    Thank you! I was fucking with everyone for the first week or so when I was posting shipping hints with no intension of actually shipping (I knew I would be seeing the target and personally handing it off). And then luck have it, they ran into some life issues and have not been able to be on here at all. I spoke to them today and they stated that I have their word that a box will go out by Monday. If not, I will personally send one.

    This whole BIF has been a joke from the start. It took about 3 months just to get the original box out???? I don't think we should talk about following rules as I was not even supposed to be in this in the first place.

    Wow...

    He has been texting with me and has been open and honest about all of this via those texts. Like I said, if a box does not go out Monday, I will personally send another one to one of you lucky "surprise" recipients

    I took complete responsibility for the initial error over a month ago. I even offered to send a new box then. I apologized to Justin then and was told everything was handled. I didn't push it because of my mistake however one's patience can only last so long. I was accused of starting BIFS but not being active in them wich makes them not fun. I have done everything I can do both in the thread and via BM to try to keep this going forward while trying to keep in mind my initial mistake. There are several other people in this BIF that, IMO, deserve a nice surprise box. If someone has an axe to grind with me that is fine. Taking it out on others, which is how I see the past month of inactivity, is not right.

    There is no hidden agenda or revenge of any kind being had. I passed the box off a while ago (don't even remember the exact date but I believe it was the second or third week of July) and tried to forget about this whole thread. When I was quoted earlier it triggered me into being back in here. I was given his word that a box will be sent and regardless of who ends up sending, a box will go out Monday (if by him) or Tuesday (if by me). If my word is not good enough, please let me know and I will send you copies of the shipping label if you would like.

    You of all people should understand that shit happens. With all the BIFs you have ran, I am sure at least one has hit some kind of snag.

    Yeah but to be fair, justin has responded each time with an update. Might not be what you want to hear but he hasn't disappeared. I understand the frustration, but let's not say a guy is stealing beer when he hasn't and isn't.

    I get it, and I'd be aggravated too, but let's have some perspective on his position.
