Clack Therapy

[Lurch]

I hope we receive specific instructions on when to resubmit. I mean he corrected the listing and "tomorrow" is now today so....??

I was just thinking about this.

I already re-sent mine.   

Okay, I'm torn and could use some clack therapy. I only submitted two letters thinking that was the limit, and neither of my submissions were the erroneous listings. I did I, and H.

Do I resubmit to include more entries, or leave as is? I have a feeling resubmitting without the erroneous postings would further spoil my chances of winning at all.

Good lord, these sales really twirl my noodle.....

I cannot believe 

1) That I went to sleep early, somehow FORGETTING about the sale
2) how amazing those clacks are 

Can someone explain what happened

Son...

[pr0ximity]

I also feel bad for Clack as this will make the job of sorting out all orders more complicated than normal. 

He has that @ least 1 "extra step" in checking for all resubmitted orders today for changes & then go back to the "official time" emails from everyone's.

I feel sorry for you Clack my bro, & I hope you regain your full health asap!!! 

Yeah seriously, sounds like the last thing he needs is a another pain.

[absyrd]

I was hoping he would do the "in" emails then ask just those people to resubmit their orders. Would probably be easier, eh?

[Harrowed]

Dat eagle. There needs to be something huge for international folks to balance missing that opportunity 

[HoffmanMyster]

I was hoping he would do the "in" emails then ask just those people to resubmit their orders. Would probably be easier, eh?

I almost PMed him asking him to do that, both so we can stop stressing and he will have fewer emails to sort through.  But then that's just another PM for the guy, and that's no good either.  I can only imagine the number of random PMs he gets during sale time asking for stuff.   

[Xowie]

These all look so nice. That bald eagle.

Is the consensus to wait to resend until he posts something?

[Lastpilot]

I was hoping he would do the "in" emails then ask just those people to resubmit their orders. Would probably be easier, eh?

I thought about this.

He cannot send "in" emails without knowing our orders.

This is because getting "in" means that you got at least one of your choices on your list, according to what has been picked before you submitted. So even though he has the order of the emails, he cannot match it with his inventory to see who actually gets in.

Anyway I went ahead and resubmitted.  :]

I wish I could reswitch D and J.. all the sick skulls are topre >_<

Ahh, good call.  He could email only the people who aren't disqualified for sending too early though!

Hoffman... you are..... NOT the father

So torn.  In the shows that's usually a good thing.  But I want to father some beautiful little clacks!

No one else is going to say it? I will. That Eagle is tacky. I wouldn't buy that.

[Dubsgalore]

cpt...that's implying a lot of other people think that )

not the case 

[heedpantsnow]

The eagle is a work of art. Gorgeous. But not my style. Maybe that's what he meant?

[pr0ximity]

Tacky, maybe. But the craftsmanship looks astounding if it's of the quality people expect from Clack.

I think it would look rather nice on many boards, but it's definitely not as universally appropriate as the traditional skulls.

No it means that it seems that there are only positive comments in the thread about the eagle and I thought I'd share my opinion which happens to be negative towards that cap. How about you worry about your own opinion instead of picking at mine.

[HoffmanMyster]

I would wear the eagle as a pin (if I wore pins).  It looks absolutely stunning.  I would not put it on my keyboard.

I will not say it's tacky though.

Had I not ****ed up, I would've been sad that I didn't make the eagle my top choice.

Was never picking at your opinion duder

that's how I feel as well

I see what you mean, he could just email all of the "valid" entries and then ask for re-submissions then, assuming that it wouldn't be terribly bothersome. Maybe if hotmail has some kind of "mass reply" option...

Only time will tell at this point, but yeah, like I said before I don't think there's any harm in resubmitting since order priorities have already been established.

HERESY! Burn the heretic! Yeah, its off my list too. Something is just campy about it. Not sure if that's the right word.

[cmadrid]

I also took the eagle off of my resubmit..  and am sad D is no longer the Murica skull

[swill]

His sales are so confusing. Where are you even seeing the sale details and the pictures. I know it's over, but curious none the less.

And I, too, was hoping the eagle was a more front beak view rather than that side profile.

I had the same issue, but someone explained it. Apparently, for current sales usually get posted as the 2nd reply to his 4grabs forum and the first reply is general sale rules.

[Belfong]

What I find amazing is that there are people who got in on the 4th sale but none came out to show photos of the Eagle or the skull. It's like, where are these people from?! They only appear during CC sale and then disappeared.

That is exactly what I was wondering, apparently there are a lot of secretive buyers

Unfortunately that's the way it goes with clack sales, tons of people dust off their GH usernames and then disappear again until the next sale :/

I've always heard the biggest clack collectors/collections are the ones you will never hear about OR see pics from

Yeah you've got to imagine he's got a friend or two that are into mechs.

[pr0ximity]

They meet weekly at the local pub. They call themselves the Clack Cabal.

Come now, TheBinary shows us his clacks, not everyone likes to post a lot.

I will believe it when I see it 

[HoffmanMyster]

Has no one else considered the possibility that he wanted to keep the photos a little hush hush until the official sale, so he asked them not to post pictures?  Seems reasonable to me.

Well, I see him online most of the time and he does show his Clack once a while. He's not like a total stranger.

[HPE1000]

Can you even blame them? You can't share a picture of a rare clack without hordes of people messaging you with obscene offers. (Yes I would take pictures but I can't blame anyone who wouldn't)

Yeah he much prefers to communicate via PM and not post as much.

Nothing wrong with a throw away account in that case. Can just ignore all PMs.

    That's not a thing.  You can't make multiple accounts on GH.

[snoopy]

seeing the pics of those nice clacks makes me a bit sad. But I'm happy for you US guys.

So, how many times have you guys checked your email today so far?

If I have to guess, clickclack will make a post detailing when people have to resubmit their lists and emails will not come until after that deadline.

Clack man has two accounts though.

The other one is his gnomes!

[heedpantsnow]

He said last night (LA time before midnight) to send in the emails "tomorrow", which is today. So yeah I wouldn't wait around for further instructions. You're right, though. I guess it will probably be tomorrow before we know anything.

[iapache]

I put a,b and c in mine. Should I still resend?
