"Bring It Back" Participation Confirmation Poll

[Carnival Man]

Read entire post before voting:

I thought this poll would be a useful tool for Cigarman's "Bring It Back" campaign to get an accurate count of how many individual maillings of hexes the folks at Hasbro & WotC might expect to see flowing across their desks.

Pick the number of individual hex mailings (that means individual envelopes, packages, etc.) that comes closest to the estimated total you plan to send, even if you are only sending hexes to Hasbro. You can always detail your planned mailings in a reply here...

Sure someone could keep a petition-like list of names & numbers of individual mailings for each person, but this is far less time consuming & the poll is updated instantly instead of waiting for someone to log-on & edit manually.

The closer we get to the proposed mailing date (currently: November 16, 2010) the more accurate the count will be.

Just to be clear: This poll is for counting the people who are participating in the mailings & estimating the volume of mail pieces that will be sent. This is why there is no option for not participating, but you may post your intentions to not take part if that makes you feel better...

A couple of things.

1. I think it would be more effecitve to just send them to someone in charge at Hasbro, I don't think WOTC will care one way or the other.

2. I also think the effort would be more effecitve if 1000+ packages show up from different addresses. I know sending them out the same day D3 is released seems like a good idea, but if only 100-150 show up because we rushed into it, the effect will be deminished. We should hold off on the send out date until we know we have maximized participation. Some people that would participate may not have even seen/heard the cancelation announcement yet.

I agree with Yoda, FWIW

[TurtleKing99]

I'll do at least one of each, possibly more, along with torn up magic cards to the Wizards address. (if I do more, they'll be in different boxes, of course)

And i'll be stuffing the box with copies of the petition

The number of packages is much more important then finding out if 1 person is sending 100 hexes in a single box.

And if we make enough of an effort to spread the word, I still believe that November 16th, which corresponds to the release of the new D&D Wave is the best date. We still have 10 days to get the word out.

If people have to send late, no problem. That shouldn't stop the rest of us from sending on Nov 16th.

I can link the poll to my OP if it will help. I still suggest resetting the poll to the number of packages being sent and set it to close on Nov 15th, and we can pull the plug if not enough people sign up by then.

Fair enough?

I agree, change it to how many packages, not hexes. But I disagree when you say the 16th is long enough time to get the message through. I still think that we should wait for the word to spread.

Unfortunately one cannot edit actual poll questions (if there is I can't figure it out)...but I can add your concern about individual mailings as soon as I'm done typing here.

[Prometheus]

Can't edit poll answers either. I put down 1 hex to each, but I am really sending a snow double-hex to each.

[krysto2002]

Just some thoughts (I'll probably ship one of these myself) of messages to include with your shipment
Order Marker - It's about time we got a turn
Wound Marker - You know, it really hurts
Snow hex - It's awfully cold, what you did
Agent Carr - self explanatory (does that count as a threat?)
Glyph of Sturla - Revive 'Scape!

I think I'll send a glyph of Sturla myself, I have spares.

As it turns out that's how Cigarman wants the count to work. So you are fine with your answer! EditNinja'd

['Scaper94]

I'll be sending at least one to WotC.
