Thanks to Jonathon (Brooks) and Mike (mbroberg), we will get another box going. This one is for those who missed Box II so please do not sign up for this one if you are in on the other box currently going around.
I'll start things off by filling a small flat rate box with as many home cast blanks as possible and send that to the 1st participant. They will select a few blanks and replace and refill the box to capacity with their own castings. It's that simple.
I will use the same process to determine the shipping order. Once the signups have ended I will generate a master list and I will select 3 people at random. I will then post those 3 names in the thread. The FIRST of those 3 names to reply IN THIS THREAD will be the next person in line to get the box. My hope in doing this will allow those that travel for work, or may have an event that wouldn't allow them to quickly participate to opt out of recieving the box. So if your name is chosen and you KNOW you have something going on that will hinder your timing then please hold out and your name WILL come up again. There will be a 24hr response time and if no one responds to the thread I will select 3 new names. I'd like to have a 2 day max time that the box is at any location to help speed things along.
This box will be limited to the first 20 Signups starting NOW and will last until either 20 have signed up or until 10pm 8-8-2011 whichever comes first.
So here are the rules:
1. To be able to participate you MUST have your full name and location in your IAP profile.
2. You must be able to ship internationally. This is open to ALL casters so at any time you may have to pay for international shipping. If you can not do this then please do not sign up.
3. Any pen blank is acceptable as long as you cast it. Multi-Colored blanks, Embedded objects, Clear casts, etc. is fair game as long as it's turnable and you cast it.
4. I'd like for everyone to label their work so those who turn them and decide to post to the forum can give proper "kudos" to the caster.
5. I'd also like for everyone to include a before and after picture so we can all watch it's progress.
6. Delivery conformation is CRUCIAL and MADATORY to the survival of the box. Unexplainable phenomina can happen, but this way we'll know who was the last to ship, and/or the last to recieve. So each time the box is shipped it MUST have delivery conformation and that tracking # has to be posted in the "Cast Away Box Part II" thread so everyone can keep track of its movement and all will be in the loop. Not all international services will be trackable but if possible please post tracking #'s.
7. HAVE FUN and put some cool blanks in the box! Last go around we all sorts of great blanks from worthless wood to mammoth ivory. I'd like to see that type of trend continue.
Those are the rules folks. If you feel you can not adhere to them please don't sign up.
Sign Ups start NOW. If there are any questions please ask them in the thread for all to see. Thanks and Happy Casting! --Eric B. (Buzzzz4)
