Unwanted Whales... NBO

I'll always take your whales BJ!

 

By the way, I think there should be another iteration of this BIF with a title "The Island of Misfit Whales"

Looking forward to that one!

 

I think we should have pranked Cam by putting our own submissions as number 1 & 2, and every other beer 3-57 randomly.

 

Not really expecting to match, as I probably value my own bottle a lot higher than most people (guess it's not really "unwanted", huh? ). If I do though, I'll be happy.

 

Seem like not a lot of matching happens in this round. Time to sign up for the next round.

 

I placed one of my bottles at 7th (it was in the top 5 that Cam listed) and the other at 15th. I sure hope I match with somebody!

 

I think I put mine at 13 and 14. That means I wont be getting your whales tyler

 

Wait... just thought of something. Are we matching partners here? Or can I be sending my bottles to a person, where that person sends to another... and I receive person C's bottles? Or is it set up so that bottles only get exchanged between 2 people?

Doesn't really affect the mystery of it, or my opinion of this BIF. This is mayhem and I approve every bit of it.

 

Gotcha

 

lol what's the point of doing that?

 

Some people probably signed up to see what other bottles would come out for the BIF. Once they saw the list, they decided they'd rather keep their own bottles than trade them for any on the list.

 

I am so angry right now.....

 

Yeah I'm pissed!!! Wait, why are we mad? LOUD NOISES!!!

 

I cant blame them though, what if one of there personal whales popped up then it would make for a good shot to get it if thats the only one you rank above your very desirable bottle that other people would want.

Id like to see how people ranked the list even without names just to see how different we are. I would guess these lists are all over the place.

 

But....you kinda saw a preview of what was coming ahead of time, that should have given everyone an idea of what would be productive in this BIF.

 

Almost done my rankings. But I find it really interesting that 8 of top 10 are sours. 1 of course is Wooden Hell, but what's the other? Rye Papier? Narke Cognac? PVW 5050?

 

Sours are quite the trend aren't they?
I pretty much figured this would happen!
Excited to see the final outcome!

 

Not being a sours fan I am definitely not in that group...just hoping I can match up with someone.

I will say that if you put your beer in this only to try and land a few specific beers you would probably have better luck just making an offer in the ISO:FT forum. When I added my beer to this I fully expected to let it go.

 

i hope that i will be able to trade my "unwanted whale" and get something good in return...

 

can you rig it somehow so that my paperclip trades for a new car?

 

I'm anxious for Sunday. If there are a bunch of trades as a result of this what is the protocol for shipping a whale? I generally insure packages for $99 because it's below the increased price threshold. What would you insure a wooden hell for? If it were to get damaged as part of a shipping chain, what happens? Im definitely ahead of myself but figure we have time to discuss while we await the rankings.

 

damn, good point, I guess we'll just have to bring them all to Cam's house for a big ol unwated whales tasting.

 

woohoo.. crossing fingers and toes...

 

Finalized my rankings. First BIF I've participated in and I'm sure it won't be the last. Thanks for the invite, Cam!

 

How many rankings are left to be turned in before we find out shipping?

 

Where we at Cam?

I'm freakin out .... The schnozberries taste like schnozberries.

 

I hope 100% of the rankings are in!

 

I hope mine get sent out!!

 

C'mon people, send in those rankings!

 

Finished hemming and hawing and finalized my list
