I feel like an idiot I just sent this to Jim:

"Mr. Scribbles,

Although a small qualm, I didn't receive a patch in the mail, even though I signed up before the deadline. I do understand that not EVERYONE can receive a gift, but my enthusiasm for this game had a disappointing halt. I will still play and still help Kickstart it (for the main characters patch :3), and it will not lessen my experience. I just want an 011iver patch."

So I went to go make dinner and I see today's mail with my name written a bit sloppy. I opened it to find my postcard + 011iver patch. I ran to my computer to send an "ignore my previous email I got it in the mail" email.

First piece of swag from an ARG and I am sooo excited :3

^ As a PM, I know that the USPS can vary wildly in its delivery times--especially for first-class letters. So always allow a sufficient amount of time (a week or more) before inquiring about something.

Keep in mind that, while swag is always welcomed, it should never be expected--even when others in a similar position get it. Some budgets of ARGs, especially indie ones, can be very tight, prohibiting wide dispersal of swag.

(These are my opinions; your mileage may vary).

I signed up a few days late and am overseas, so was very surprised to get a postcard and robot patch in the mail today.

My first active participation in an ARG and my first swag! Consider me hooked. Sock avatar, here I come!

I have visions of a sock puppet music video to The Guild's "Do You Want to Date My Avatar". ^_^

Guess whose avatar will be sporting a vest made entirely of velcro.
