Title: ~PSX2Central World Letter~
Post by: SwifDi on July 30, 2002, 10:25:47 PM
I just snagged a neat little idea from some other forums (credit to Reapz@Ninten.com)

This will require, alot of responsibility, dedication, and honesty...

I\'ll get a small sized poster board, and maybe decorate it up a bit, if I\'m really bored.... On it, I\'ll sign my screen name, "Vapor Snake" and then maybe a witty little message (like signing a yearbook.) When I\'m done, I mail it to the next closest person to me who wishes to be a part of this small project.

After it has made its journey and the members who participated all have signed, it will then be sent back to me and I can scan it, and mail it to everyone via e:mail (or make copies and send it through the post).

It may cost small pocket change for stamps and stuff, but it shouldn\'t be anything drastic and this can really be something interesting.....

I made a poll to see if you think its a good idea or not, and I\'ll go by the poll until it closes next week. If it does go through I\'ll need to know who wants in.....

I know its extreme if you think about it, but alot of spend quite some time here and it would be a nice little memorabilia to put in your back pocket.

Vote away.

So far its 4 aye to 0 nay...

Also only dedicated members may take part cuz\' I don\'t want some newb taking it and throwing it away....

Also... remember your going to give your address to the person that you are recieving it from...

And when you send it don\'t put your real name, i.e. "Bob Jones"... put your screen name so we know what it is.....

I\'m in.  Sounds cool.  I just hope someone doesn\'t mess it all up.

I also hope I\'m not the closest person to Europe.  Someone else can handle the postage for that!

I was thinking of that.... I think after all the U.S. guys have done it just send it back to me and I\'ll do Europe... and I\'ll send a bit of cash along with it just in case the last one in Europe doesn\'t want to pay the dough...

I\'m guessing it will go North America-Europe-Asia/Austrailia-North America.

We are only talking about 20 or so people here right?  I wonder how many would really end up doing it?

Just saying that the larger the board the more of a pain in the ass it will be to mail overseas...  And the more of a risk it will to get damaged.  I guess you could put it into a tube though.

what about starting small, and make an email pic, just have one circling around and then when finished we could post the pic in this thread as a simbol of our utter idiocy :p

if it goes well then we could try the bigger better idea

I kind of think it\'s a stupid idea. Just my two pennies.

It would be of some significance to post your reasons Titan...


I was thinking like a normal sized (sorry don\'t know the dimensions) poster board the size of a regular sheet of computer paper. Actually.... a tube would work fine... We have time to think about this.

Poster board and computer paper are two totally different sizes.

I can cut the poster board down to the computer paper size. Depends how many peepz wanna take part, then I can see how many sigs will fit. If its only 5 people then we can just sign on a post-it.....
