As I had posted in this earlier in the afternoon (deja vu!), I am willing to start Package v 4.0 but on certain conditions -
1. If you are only interested in acquiring freebies from someone else and cannot forward it to the next person, don't raise your hand. 2. Be mindful that moving the Package WILL involve shipping/postal charges. If the person to whom you are sending it is willing to share the charges with you, good and fine. If not, you will have to bear the full expenses. 3. I have inquired about the charges to send it to someone in the US or Canada, and it amounts to a small fortune for me. So unless and until I get absolute confirmation that this package will be in transit for the whole chain of people (you can even send it back to me), I won't take a chance. 4. Don't make the package boring by stuffing it with just old books and toys. The next person should find something for his/her liking before they send it to someone else, otherwise it will be useless for them. And it will be criminal of you to do something like that. I know these stipulations might seem a bit harsh, but judging from how the first 3 packages went into the shitter real quick, I am not willing to pay as much for this one unless you can confirm to me that my initiation for the 4th Package will be honored by the rest of you. The charges are equal to almost a week of my job's pay, and that matters a great deal to me. So unless I get some sort of confirmation that this will continue, I won't be involved. Interested? Holler in this thread and send me a PM. I am willing to send it to anyone of the following - Newb, Despare, Rayne, Zwoti, Urge, Chrono, and Hammerfan. From what I have gathered from the history of the previous 3 packages, the people I named above are proven safe bets that they will keep this thing rolling. If you agree to all of the above, you are welcome to join up.

In case you didn't see newb's post in the other thread, what if all of you over on the other side of the "pond" circulate it there first, and then send it to the U.S. and we can circulate it here. I know ferretchucker was very excited about this package thing.

It depends.
Elvis is obviously out of the equation now, so that leaves Cheeba, Disease and possibly ManchestrMorgue for AUS, Roshiq in BAN, and Ferret & Zwoti in the UK. One of them has to come forward, if they can. If not, I am willing to send it to someone in the US or Canada.

Come on Freak. I see a real opportunity for you to be a hero in all this. I assume the problem is you don't have enough money to send the package overseas, but I'm fairly certain one or more people on your waiting list are from the U.S.
Papillon Noir (?) Hammer Fan Miss Macabre (Canada? Not sure) Bwind22 Can you send it to one of these people?

Ok, I'm sorry, but I'm still pissed off about Package 2.0.
[rant] 1. I organized it - Reached out to people - Everyone was excited and in support. 2. If someone was uncomfortable with sending it out of country, I worked with the participants to switch orders to make sure that everyone was OK with whom they were sending it to, before even kicking it off. 3. I took pains to keep all addresses private and only kept communication between the Sender and Sendee so that address information wasn't divulged. 4. I put in TIME to gather the stuff that I wanted to put into the package - All of the duplicate DVD's that my boyfriend and I had acquired over the years and didn't want (or just plain DVD's that we didn't care for but thought maybe someone else might) plus some random stuff. 5. I SENT IT TO ROSHIQ IN BANGLADESH - Not cheap, but others on the list didn't have the money, so I figured - I'd do it to get the ball rolling... 6. Roshiq sent it BACK TO THE STATES to Flayed where there was STILL some excitement with the participants around the package (those who were on the list and people PM'ing me to get on the list)... 7. And then it stopped. 8. I kept periodically bumping the thread and PM'ing Flayed - No response... Until Flayed got sick of seeing the thread being bumped and LOCKED IT. WTF Look -- Sorry if I said anything rude to Flayed (though I don't really think that I did, and if I expressed frustration - well - CAN YOU BLAME ME)... But COME ON. ... Anyway. I thought I've been good about staying away from Package Drama (that's what she said - nyuk nyuk) - I never considered bumping that thread to be drama-inducing (usually my posts consisted of (BUMP - FLAYED) - BUT WAS I WRONG PEOPLE?!?!?!?!)... But I am SERIOUSLY PISSED that after the effort I put into that one that the end result is that it went to one person and my thread was fucking locked. REAL NICE. :mad: :mad: [/rant] Not really sure where I'm going with this here - I guess the takeaways are: --- Chrono is REALLY crabby (I've had a bit of a shitty week) --- If you are going to commit to being a part of the next package, please PLEASE take it seriously - The people involved, whether it be the initial person organizing it or the people taking the time to put cool things into it and post it overseas, are actually making an effort... Plus the people downstream are actually excited to get it! Don't slack off. Not to mention - I actually really REALLY like you guys here - I consider you friends and this package was just another way to solidify the fact that we are REAL PEOPLE making a REAL CONNECTION with a common interest on this site - That being said, it was hard not to take it personally when it died.
