It's like my fourth time. It's not even my first time ASSCLOWNed. I am a used up husk.

You see that msg in your inbox, with your "216-inclusive" wants in it? With my reply above it? That you replied to with "WTF is it LOL"? That one? That's the one that indicates I got your PM.

Whoops, didn't see the 216 in there. My apologies.

WLs are due tomorrow afternoon/evening-ish depending on your time zone. We have 142 in so far, I posted pseudo-results on the blog . We should all be thanking SGT Dave, he is the lubricant this time around. The man wants, and he wants big.

I will be sending confirmatory messages throughout the day to check that everyone is OK with their submitted wants. Thanks all for participating!

Need wants from Ska_baron, Squigherder, Fallen, Da Bid Dabid, mrmarcus, and Chapel. Everyone is free to /revise/ WLs until the deadline. Just send them via TM to me.

Ok, I've submitted. Hopefully I've understood it correctly & avoid being surprised with Munchkin Quest for Republic of Rome.

Looks good Fallen. My only concern for you would be the overemphasis on semi-colons. The linear list means order matters--the first game you want with strength "1", the second is "2", and so forth. (the algorithm looks for MINIMAL weight loops, so a strength of "1" is as good as it gets.)

If I make a want list like
(jeb) GAME1 : GAME2 ; BOOK1 ; VIDEO8
...I am saying I want GAME2 with strength "1", BOOK1 with strength "10", and VIDEO8 with strength "20." Contrast with someone else who has a want list with 19 items on it but no semicolons. Her 19th item is more attractive to the algorithm as a participant to help minimize loops than my third item is.

This may be the case! Do what ya like, but do it in an educated way.

On another topic, for the things you REALLY want, you should want them for every item. "Trading up" is totally encouraged, as it's not trading up--the loop makes sure everyone is happy. Just because someone is tossing $50 for $5 is not your problem--they just like different things than you do. Wanting as many things as possible "lubricates" the trades, expanding the space of possible loops. That said, there is no obligation to submit even ONE want list--If you offer awesome stuff and everything else is garbage juice, then forget it. You are under no obligations. Not even a tacit, passive aggressive one. Trading is up to you.

My lists tend to look like this (replacing numbers with descriptives):

(jeb) ShittyThing : Greatest Great Good Meh Crap
(jeb) ShittierThing : Greatest Great Good Meh Crap Crappier
(jeb) AwesomeThing : Greatest

So, I always want the Greatest thing. But my Awesome thing only wants that. My shitty stuff wants the greatest thing, and will go much deeper.
