      ok, i was confused there, but now i'm not. brandi actually only had 5 first-picks. the other prize pack was the same as the others (1 primary and 1 secondary)

      pinata got 2 primaries and 2 secondaries with his former trades. so with the apron trade, i'm assuming you gave him 2 of your first picks? (since you only chose 2 essential designs/sizes?) which gives him 2 first picks, 2 primaries, and 2 secondaries, and you now have 3 first picks, 1 primary and 1 secondary. (unless you've given pinata the primary instead of another first pick, in which case, just let me know.)

      i want to provide all other winners a chance at getting their primary. (they just have to get their choices in before i ship anybody's package that includes the TP shirts.)

      Well, he actually got 4 Twisted Pixel shirts... 2 from Chris H and 2 from Kristofer M. And he wants 2 from us, which covers his 6.

      That leaves Brandi with 5 of her original 7.

      My concern was the order of the picking of the shirts. As the grand prize winner, Brandi gets first choice. If she picks two (large eat things, medium bradcopter) and gives up the other five first picks (though only two shirts) to pinata, that still leaves him hanging on his sixth choice unless you let him pick second. So my question is how were you choosing who gets to pick second, third, etc...?

      Polo and Sam each won two shirts, Polo is keeping his. Sam's are up for trade.

      bradcopter: (2) M, (1) L - Briks want 1 M, pinata wants the L

      eat things: (2) M, (2) L, (1) XL - Briks and pinata want both L's

      star: (1) M, (1) 2X - pinata wants both

      donuts: (1) M, (2) L - pinata wants 1 L

      splosion man: (1) M, (1) L - pinata wants the L

      That leaves:
      bradcopter (1) M

      eat things (2) M, (1) XL

      donuts (1) M and (1) L

      splosion man (1) M

      Polo gets 2, Sam gets 2, and Brandi gets 3 of the above. Her choices would be a medium donuts shirt to carrot for services rendered, the large donuts shirt for her husband, and whatever's left to whoever wants it.

      Still hoping someone with a big heart will swap out my Steam Defense Grid codes for XBLA ones. Maybe Jennifer R's since it's just going to auction anyway

      Oh, and big on the 4-way.

      You can have mine, just pass your steam code along or put it up for auction.

      I'd also like to trade the PC Defense Grid code for XBLA one if someone wants to swap, or if someones 360 version is going to auction, perhaps swap and auction the PC/Steam version.

      Sounds awesome! Make it happen

      Hey Canis, I had just sent a message to Gramps putting a 360 code up for auction. If you want that one and put your PC code up for auction, then we can do that.

      If Joshua would trade the Behemoth bundle for my Halo bundle I would prefer that simply because I drool over that awesome signed statue.

      If he is not willing then the four way trade is fine with me. Speed will enjoy the Halo stuff more than I!

      That would work out for me perfect Primal. Thanks.

      Gramps, swap those codes.

      that's what was going through my head at 3:40 am. (the comment right above yours. #43. i didn't realise during my earlier comment, which you quoted, that pinata had traded with 2 other people. i realised it when i was putting the boxes together.) so, brandi only gets 5 first picks and the other 2 shirts will be treated like everyone else's prize. primary/secondary. i will try to get everyone 1 shirt that they really really want, and then if they can get one of their secondaries, then yay! (after the first 5 picks, nobody will get any preferential treatment. that's fine if you want to give pinata 2 shirts with the first pick quality, and then the gift of first pick to apply to one of his secondaries, and that secondary to brandi.) so that leaves the 2X star as a secondary, so if someone wants it as their primary, then it'll go to them, and pinata must choose another secondary.

      (so everybody provide 1 primary pick and 2 secondary picks.)

      bradcopter:
      (2) M, brik's first pick
      (1) L pinata's primary

      eat things:
      (2) M,
      (2) L, pinata's first pick / brik's first pick
      (1) XL

      star:
      (1) M, pinata's primary
      (1) 2X pinata's secondary

      donuts:
      (1) M, brandi's secondary
      (2) L pinata's first pick / brik's primary

      splosion man:
      (1) M,
      (1) L pinata's first pick


      (polo is happy with leftovers, joshua might ultimately put them up for auction? anybody else?)

      miyu gets joshua's behemoth
      speed gets miyu's halo
      joshua gets sam's twisted pixel??
      sam gets katherine's ratchet & clank
      katherine gets speed's popcap?

      is that correct? the twisted pixel package doesn't seem like a fair trade for the behemoth package. ::edit:: joshua only cares about MC frontalot, and MC frontalot alone. so there you go. a 5-way trade. we have the go-ahead from you, speed, emnii/K, (joshua by proxy) and sam the brainchild.

      i'll edit the chart later today. (i actually have to go to work. blasphemous!) so, anyone who got TP shirts, make your primary/secondaries.

      If I get that big Behemoth pack - you don't even know how happy I will be. I might even dance like I was Gramps learning Poison by BBD!


      Also, my PS3 and PSP stuff are still up for grabs.

      Someone mentioned Defense Grid for Prototype? If that is still valid - I'm cool with that.
      Sam said the Trials DLC and avatar code for Pain code? I could do that.

      Anyone want to trade me a Splosion man plush for Quantum of Solace PS3? PSP games? Honestly, with the Behemoth trade and the apron no longer being in play I'm fine with letting the Sony games go for simply something I could use. I do have someone local who has a young child and a PS3 so I will probably give them Kung Fu Panda (since I imagine nobody wants it )

      I also wouldn't turn my nose up at the autographed zombie photo. I could frame it and put it in my new classroom.

      edit: Just to keep things simple Sam can take the Hellboy code with the Pain code. That way the little DLC bundle isn't split up.
