Rekidk, are you seriously 15?
Not to blow my own trumpet, but I thought I was the only one who could form a proper sentence and not sound like a retard at that age!
You certainly have my respect.
Cafepress is a rip off, most of the money goes to Cafepress and the profit from consorting with them is basically nout.
I personally don't care for the stuff on Ebay. I'm not really into the whole plushie thing, I'm more of a sculpture and minature kinda guy, but as long as someone here gets one I'm happy!

I may of considered getting into Perplex City if it just started, but buying those cards for nothing more than figuring them out really doesn't appeal to me.

Sylvia, Did you include your address in sign up? Also Eva only tends to reply to you if you actually ask her something or tell her something important / interesting. (Sorry, I may be asking and stating the obvious!)

Well im sorry i stated about a bidding war, but being realistic, no matter what good will you have people will probably try to outbid you. As the person that found the links I would quite like to win one but the nature of the media is ebay and so people will try to outbid you (ive already been outbid twice but thankfully set a maximum bid allowance). If they had wanted us to be able to get the item more easily they would have put a buyout price....
Shame to pit players against players but you have to give them the benefit of the doubt based on the game we have been given so far. Which to be fair is very good. Therefore I personally dont mind bidding but yes it would be nice to have had a buyout price.
On that note, GROUP HUG!

Hello all...
I've been lurking and playing along but have just now decided to post because I think I may have been the one who set the outbidding thing in motion, meaning I outbid someone before I realized there were others for sale.
So, I let that go and bid on another one and am currently the high bidder on one. So, it was not out of spite but out of Yuki desire.
I have a feeling these will sell for a bit more as more and more people want them. I have a set price, too, but I (just like anyone bidding on these) would really like to have a shot at getting a clue first before everyone else...it ups the fun value.
So with that said...good luck to everyone! This should be interesting.

To be honest, I really disagree that this ever happened. Its down to the individual competitiveness of the players. (Which, to be honest, is fairly understandable, -as the yukis are pretty sweet!)
From the first bid on the first one we knew that a player in the community would get one, so what's the problem?
Sure, I want one. Most people want one. But ultimately we know that not everyone can, and have got to realise that it reeeally doesn't matter who does!
If we're playing as a community here (which I hope we are!) then there is no, and never has been, an issue!
I'm not having a go at anyone. It just seems there's a lot of fuss over something that I think seems pretty fun. So chill out guys! Please!

Has anyone tried contacting the seller squealor1110, other than to ask if s/he will ship to the states? And has anyone forwarded this info to Eva?
Also, any spec as to whether or not the Username has any significance other than relating to the pigpen cipher?

I assumed the seller was Keir, -calling himself squealer because the sri threatened him for squealing to Eva. Not sure about the 1110 though. Could be just for an available name, could be more significant.
EDIT: No, I haven't contacted seller or Eva about it. May be an idea to contact Eva though. Especially seeing as she may or may not have a thing for Keir.

Squealer I emailed the seller on ebay and asked who he was. He replied, "Who do you think I am? I'm the Squealer."
I also emailed a link to the eBay site to Eva and said I thought Keir was selling the items. Her response seems to indicate that it is Keir.
Quote:
That's interesting Christa. I wonder how Keir got hold of them? I noticed he said he'd been out and something about Yuki. Why would he sell these things?
I've emailed him but he's not answered. I'll try again later today.
be seeing you
Eva

Ok, ok... I like t-shirts with cows defecating (or whatever they're doing -_-) as much as the next guy. XD
I meant 'lousy' to mean something that we shouldn't get uptight over. Well... And a little bit as a stab at CafePress. (I've heard the horror stories about t-shirts falling apart in the wash. :p)
So... Regarding the 1110 on Keir's username. Is it significant, or not? Cross_ confirmed that it stood for '15' in binary... Does that mean anything to Keir, I wonder? Or was 'Squealer' just already taken? Hm. What does everyone else think?

I'm pretty sure it's 14.
1110 might be Keir's birthday, not that it is but just adding it to our list of possibilities.
