I would genuinley like to know how this happened.

Combinations like this got in at :05

Damn IDK how I got in, I chose very common ones

First Choices:
13. Emerald - MX
6. Essence of Kirkle - MX
2.  Sifo's Soul - MX

Second Choices:
12. OJ - MX
9.  Jellybean Blue - MX
18. Proto Purple - MX

I'm guessing I got sifo's soul, since that one wasn't chosen too often (from the tiny sample size I've  seen haha)

But my combination:

First Choices:
7. Irradiated Red - Topre
12. O.J.  - Topre
13. Emerald - Topre

Secondary Choices:
6. Essence of Kirkle - Topre
2. Sifo's Soul - Topre
8. Jellybean Red - Topre

Won absolutely nothing at :02

Were there less topre bots? Was there more people picking topre?

Worse yet, daniel won nothing at :00 and im pretty sure he had common ones like army man green in his list.

How do we do next sale so this dosent happen again? I feel like i prepared for this sale more than adequately, but apparently something must have gone wrong...

Having a bad day?

Just because your email server is responding with that time of :02 or :05, doesn't mean Bro Caps got them at those times...

That's just the time that his mail server responded "yes, send me an email pls." Depending on your location the actual receiving of the email may have taken a second or two to propagate throughout the interwebs.

So what you're saying is that, by the laws of physics, no email received exactly at 10:00:00 could have been sent after the start time of the sale and would have to have been sent before the start time and therefore should be dq'd.  I can get behind that.  :D

What I'm saying is. These two steps will give you an edge over the normal person.

1. Be on the same email provider - This will reduce the network latency so the email will begin sending faster
2. Send the email as text only - Sending as text and HTML (like most clients do) will almost double the time it takes to send the email because it has to send it twice.

If you do these two things, I guarantee you'll have a much better chance getting into the next sale :thumb:

Its all been said before. Depends when your server sends it and when his receives it. Depends if it was before or after countdown was at 0. Depends if you picked a color with a stem already taken. So many different variables.

Offtopic but I'll ask anyway  :p

Is the Iron Man in your avatar one of Cinnn's that were sold by Bunnylake? And if so did you paint it red or was there a special edition I missed?

It is a Cinn one from BL - there were a very limited amount of coloured ones made (like only one of each) and BL was good enough to hook me up with the red one :)

Not sure what I got yet, but the more I think about it the more I wish I put biohazard yellow into my top three instead of OJ. That way my top three would be all GID. It's in my secondary choices so there is still hope! either way, any of my choices make me happy. Congrats again to everyone who got in!

Hehe well to start off my collection I got a trans-red gasmask coming soon!
Yes, I will have to wait a while and eventually I will get one, I also can't be choosy, I mean novelty caps are hard to come by. I will get my fair share later on.

Has anyone who was PM'd still not received their invoice?

I haven't received mine yet, but I'm pretty sure I was near the very tail end of the peeps who got in and he said he's going in order. Also he's sick.... but a dozen folks have already mentioned that.
