There was a lot of truth to your words. I am not sure I could have said it any better, and I am glad an outside party saw it as I did (perhaps I am not so crazy ...).
Even better is that your words reached their target audience, maybe even others just reading, and they reassessed and remedied the issue. That not only improved this Jambalaya but likely all others moving forward.
This quote is something I certainly stand by when it comes to Jams. It does not seem right to exchange a hard to find licensed or out of production piece with several Pirates. The intent should always be to constantly pay it forward because at the end of the day, this is on honor. Your honor. There is no constant haggling or negotiating as there is during an active trade. So look at what you've taken, then look at what you're giving. Then look at what you've taken, then back at me. I've got [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owGykVbfgUE]two tickets to that thing you love[/url]. The tickets are now Rohan Soldiers. But, seriously, if you look at what you're giving and what you're taking, and it is easy to choose what you're taking, guess what? You're probably doing this wrong. There should be at least some internal struggle.AK_Brickster wrote:To quote a very wise man, "In trades, four quarters does not equal a dollar", meaning that 4 mediocre parts doesn't equal one really coveted one. You can't substitute quality for volume.
With that aside, to Dog Ironbones, I would like to move you up in the list. With Schmidt dropping out, it moved me up and away from the middle of the Jam. Moving you up, to receive the box after soccerkid, allows an even amount of people before I potentially receive Blue's box and the same amount of people before she potentially receives mine. I will message this to you as well, but if you see this first, please coordinate with soccerkid and provide your address. And then you can contact me whenever you are ready for mine.
I'm on a horse.
