Here's some of what I can gather.
-50 got in
-2+ pages of emails at xx:00:00 mark
-Bro uses Outlook which means at least 30 emails per page (I counted on my phone on the PC site not mobile)

So with 2+ pages at exactly the 0s mark, that means that the only people who got in (so far on existing stock) would be those whos emails arrived at Bros inbox at exactly xx:00:00. This also means that there are plenty of people who did hit that same mark who also won't be getting in (on current stock).

What if, theoretically, everyone who submitted at the xx:00:00 mark all asked for exactly the same keys.  Only the first ten or twenty of those people would actually end up getting their caps, and he would go down the line to find people who asked for unclaimed caps.  So if no one asked for a given cap until a few seconds later, those people who sent the email later would still claim that cap.

Right?  I don't think we can draw too many conclusions yet.

I just checked the seconds on my email cause you guys are making me paranoid. 

Sun, 12 Jan 2014 13:00:30 -0500

You guys are making me worried I didn't get anything.  Hopefully I picked a solid enough range of colors that I got 'something'.  We will see...
So 30 seconds late? He did say only 50 people got in on his current stock, all of which sent at XX:00:00. So if you were 30 seconds late..... I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I think you need to wait till he restocks unfortunately.

Did he actually say that it was zero second after or did he say it was the first minute?

He said that he has 2+ pages of emails that are at 10:00:00

Emerald was one of the ones I wanted.  Essence of Kirkle is probably popular given how popular the Noct Clack seems to be.

Does style mean solid or transparent?  So if I chose 3 different translucent, it wouldn't work?

I never thought these would sell out within milliseconds. I almost would have preferred the sale be for 1-2 caps instead of 3 so that more than just 50 people could have gotten a brobot. Im glad to hear hes making more though to help meet demand, thats very awesome of him!
