Am I missing something? Is this comment from a participant in the contest?
Nope, just someone I know who has watched my excitement about this contest thru the tour. He knew I wouldn’t speak up on the thread and was being supportive.
Did you notice that Elwayvedder got the first pick the last time this contest was run?

Did you notice that Elwayvedder got the first pick the last time this contest was run?
I did notice that, although after the fact. When I joined in, I followed the first link you provided to past contests, which happened to be the first time it was run. This was when the winners picked and charity got left overs. I have since gone back to read entire threads for all three contests. You know what else I noticed? In all past contests, pick order was clearly defined PRIOR to the contest starting. So it’s not out of line for me to ask about it this time, given 2 out of 3 times it was the winners picking. Perhaps only link to the one with the current rules next time if you aren’t going to be clear about it on the actual current contest thread.
Look ed, I said my peace with you by pm. I also said on page 15 that it was disappointing but I get it. I simply answered ham’s question above. What I left out of that response is what difference does it make if gman was a participant or not? Is this a closed group here? Maybe don’t go looking for other (outside) participants to fill slots of you’re gonna go with the good ‘ole boy system when it comes to rules and a girl wipes the floor with your picks.
I’ve had about enough of being questioned for asking a VERY legit question. You seemed to try and placate me with “be happy - you won 8 posters”. Well I won them fair and square, not like you’re doing me any favors. I entered three times. I helped someone else by picking up a poster. I’ve encouraged and been a team player. In the end, I picked the most correct songs - I SHOULD walk away with prizes for that.
I’m also over the charity aspect being put at me (and my friend) just for speaking up and asking a question, Guess what? If they are still available I have my eye on 2 prints to replace ones I’ve passed on to others. I have my eye on one for a good friend and merch buddy. And the others are to be waffled or sold for metavivor.org in honor of my mom and a dear friend who both have stage four met breast cancer. Is that cause charitable enough? And does it make you feel differently about me being able to ask a question? Which cause gets first picks now? I honestly feel it still shouldn’t matter what I’m doing with them - the rules weren’t made clear and nobody should be given grief for asking a question about that.
At this point, can I just make Berlin one of my choices? And if booboo ever gets it, send it on. If not, I’ve risked it and I’ll be without. Let’s get this party started so I can stop coming back to check the thread. I don’t care for the back and forth just for asking a question and I certainly don’t care for the insinuation that it’s wrong to question because charities are involved. I’m not questioning the charities AT ALL, only trying to understand the rules of the game.
Definitely not a closed group and not just for the boys; I'm a girl too I was just wondering why the person that commented was so upset, no offense intended. I hope this misunderstanding doesn't prevent this contest from happening again next tour, I really enjoy it.
Just a casual observation, but as there are only 3 people picking in the top 12, could there not be some sort of trading of the picks like the NFL draft?

Just leave it as you have it please. OYR and GTL are “grass roots” and need donations. Again I simply didn’t know the plan since it wasn’t stated here, and I didn’t think it should be an issue to ask the question.
Booboo, how is the ebeans transaction coming along?

I got some if you need it, I got some if you need it
Would love to keep this one if boobooliscious was able to score, but if not I will share with the group to cover for them, as promised.
Let me know, boobooliscious....shoot me a PM and I will give you my PayPal, will be $44.31 (poster + shipping + tax they now charge) + . = $51.81. Once we know who wins I will figure out shipping to them and let you know so that can be paid back as well.
and once we hear from booboo, we can start the selection process

sorry for the delay everyone as I'm going thru some stuff here at home that makes this less of a priority (shame on me as PJ and PJ merch always is the priority!) With the 1st pick in the 2018 Tour Contest To Win Poster to Help OYR and GTL, OYR selects the Prague (would take Berlin but OYR already has an AP and a SE to still sell and doesn't want 3!!) THANK YOU TAHNK YOU THANK YOU to everyone for such amazing giving and charity I am forever grateful -EV
