[naasfu]

woo!  hype hype.

[HipsterPunks]

woo!  hype hype.

Hell yeah!!! I cant wait to ride the clack emotion coaster on 4/20!!!

[naasfu]

CC used some purple colors in his announcement text.  Maybe there will be some purple things as well?  Oooh either way, can't wait.

[neunelfer]

woo!  hype hype.

You saw the update and managed to post in just over a minute..impressive.

[dndlmx]

Dear keyboard god, let me not be torn asunder by clack addicts. Have mercy on thy clackless.
I want a minty green something. 

[noisyturtle]

Well at least it'll be fun to participate, as always. I'm guessing with the influx of new members competition's gonna be pretty tough, so I'm not going to hold my breath.

[Cottonsox]

So see you all back here in under 5 days?

[katushkin]

I have to get one this time. Although I don't have any green boards to put a green CC on D:

[atlas3686]

woo!  hype hype.

Cannot wait!

Don't say that, I am already holding my breath!

[Badwrench]

I will be giving it another run as well.  See if this sale can finally get me one of these elusive little pieces of art 

[dustinhxc]

Well I'm afraid but let's hope I can get a green to match my ccng.

[baldgye]

tbh I'm not even that excited about the possibility of 'winning' one more curious about what his latest clacks are going to be... would love a mint gum style miami green clack... I HAVE DREAMS

[tmk1207]

Green, Blue, Purple color . I think so >:<

[SuperiorKarate]

OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD

[SpAmRaY]

There will be hype, there will be butthurt, there will be drama.

[bueller]

Ooh one day after my birthday, maybe I'll actually get something this year!

[Belfong]

I'm not fast enough. This is a mili second thingy. I wish it's raffles though...

[snoopy]

Seeing that there will be a clack 4/20 sale makes me so happy. Really hope that there is a cool BS clack available. 

[Zombly]

I will probably crash and burn and get nothing.

But I wish everyone luck for the hatred that 4/20 will bring.

[isaske]

Yo fellow geekhackers!
I'm fairly new, and this is the first 4grabs i intend to participate in.
Can someone tell me how it's all gonna look like?
Like, do we camp the thread, and, once the information is posted, we send emails? Or how does this work?
Aaaaaanyway, really hope on getting in on this one, since i did not manage to get into the toxic bot thingie.
It really is amazing art, and i would like a piece of it:)

[pbtforever]

I'm curious too!

[dustinhxc]

Ooh one day after my birthday, maybe I'll actually get something this year!

10 days before my golden birthday! We can dream!

This will be my 2nd 4grabs, Ive done a EK sale before as well. Both were unsuccessful.

There is a countdown. He will list the items and a spot where an email address will be.
When he posts the email address you send an email but not before 00 or it wont count.
Then you wish for the best!

Sorry to hear that Maybe this time!!
Yes, i know about the countdown. What i don't know is what the subject and the content of the mail have to be.
Like, i have to copy the mail address, paste in the "To:" section, write something in it (for example a number of the skull) and then send it?
Do i get this wrong?

[naasfu]

Ordering instructions (what to put in the subject and email, etc) should be posted sometime before the sale begins.

Oh okay, in that case i think i get it.
Thanks to all for help!

Hey, that means we're birthday twins!      I'm also hoping the proximity to my birthday will help my odds.

Hopefully all of us April bday enthusiasts will win at least one clack.

I wonder how many people that get in actually click a send button... couldn't you just program something to run at the exact time?

How do you even do this when there's no email address already specified beforehand and you don't know what you should write in the mail?

usually theres like 10 mins beforehand so the bot would make it so you hit it no early but also no later than the time

if somebody has a bot please give to me

[neunelfer]

This is really a flawed method of having a sale when people can just send out instant emails as soon as the countdown ends.

[HPE1000]

Hopefully we will have EK sales sometime soon again, 4grabs type sales are too stressful and annoying.

+1

nice and simple, plus an escuse to buy stuff from EK

I'm 100% positive some folks do this or something like it (looking at YOU people who defy logic and get in on every 4grabs.) Some people cheat, but you can't prove anything really which sucks.

Can't CC himself change the method used for sale? So easy to prevent stuff like that..

That's true, yes. I prefer raffles as well, but oh well.

I would venture raffles have even more vulnerability for gaming the system. Something as simple as using a different ISP and shipping to a PO box would let you receive two orders. Not sure there's One Best Way to do sales other than competing with honor, but some folks are naturally greedy cheaters. Not a lot you can do to make a sociopathic clackhead feel guilty.

When cheating, its pretty much the same

Get  more entries by having PO box (for both)
Raffle: Enter multiple times
4Grab: Bot can easily handle multiple emails with the same stuff, just write a script that changes the address each time

But in the end, raffle is the fairest, because it gives a chance to the people who arent computers. There is usually a 1 week period to get a chance to win the raffle, vs 1st 2 seconds for a 4grabs that can easily go from 1 for everyone to everything for 1

Its stuff like this that makes me not even want to participate. If you had the time/patience to experiment with your email provider to get a good feel for their average mail relay latency it should be pretty trivial to write a perl/ruby/vbs/etc script that would send an email at exact second (probably a few seconds early to account for network delay) needed for your email to show up at 4:00:00PM.

It's still way fun though. That 30 second rush: 10 seconds before the timer hits zero, and the 20 second cooldown is worth it alone for me but I'm a bit of an adrenaline junkie

[hwood34]

In light of the upcoming sale, I'm just gonna post here now. Got nothing. Another small part of me will die.

If part of you dies, you're putting too much value on things.  They're cool and yeah, it is sad to see the same people getting them in the sales over and over, especially when they just flip them, but it's not the end of the world if you don't get them.  There are a ton of other cool things you could grab or play around with.

It's pretty much the end of the world if you don't get any clacks.

I fell into alcoholism and heroin the first time I didn't get a Clack in a sale.  The second time, I took up cutting.  The third time, I attempted suicide.  Trying to get into Clack sales is a dangerous road.
