2nd Annual Demoscene Card Exchange

category: offtopic [glöplog]
I would like to thank everyone, who had sent me a postcard just before or after I left Germany. cce, I think, and OhLi came just in time, but I think pestis', Bombe's and some one else's (could not identify by envelope) one I could not open in person. I hope I will have access to them in a few months. But thanks also to STC, it was fun again!

By request, I've turned on the flag early to see your senders list if you wish.

Just go back to your exchange page and click the link. It'll also tell you who marked theirs as sent. You'll also get to see how many of your cards have been marked as sent without revealing the full list.

(Note of course sent indicators are self-reported and not required, not that I could enforce that even if it was.)
Thanks to Cowee & Shana (the donation was a really nice idea) and Angelo for your cards, they both arrived nicely before christmas.

One to go, no hurries.
I got all my cards around christmas <3 Thanks again to DaD1916, QM, Reality404, MBB and TheBat <3 <3 <3 Loved the inspired messages, home made cards, Christmas ornaments, aquarelle paintings <3

...and the last one with pretty pixel art arrived yesterday from Franky, Metoikos & the chickens. Thanks!

Extra special thanks to Starchaser for organizing this again!
Final card arrived. Thanks platon42, DaD1916 and MyO!
Nothing arrived so far. Maybe I should ask my post office or something... I wonder, did my card even arrive? :-(

I'm still waiting for one more hopefully :)

but nobody has mentioned the ones I sent, I hope they would have got there by now.

Some may arrive late due to postal stuff, but you can go back into the app and view who your senders were if you'd like to know who is remaining. It also tells you if they marked your card as sent, but right now only 60% of cards have been marked as sent so I don't know how useful that is. It's self-reported and people may forget to mark it even if they dropped the letter in the mail. Hope you get your last one. :)

Hmm, you should have gotten something by now I would think. As above, you can go back into the app and check who your senders were if you want to know and perhaps give them a poke if you're worried.

If it gets to February and you have no indications stuff was sent at all I can try to talk to people to find out why. That is the one requirement of this: people have to send something. I don't want to have to start a ban list. :-/
Thing is, once you already mentioned, that I caj see my senders, I did it first thing i the morning (lol), and It is marked as sent, but I haven't gotten any notification at all. Really hope nothing got screwed up.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, I only wrote 1 card, because it's my forst time ever participating in something like this. Didn't want to make it too hard for me :-)

I doubt cards marked as sent would not have been actually sent, so it's most likely just post office(s) screwing things up. Hope you get your card!

Should it maybe be made mandatory (or "heavily encouraged") to used tracked mail for cards going to other countries next time?
I can encourage that, yeah, but the issue here is that drives up the cost of participation and I can't make anyone do anything... but I would hope all is done in good faith. I can add that to the rules page for next year for those worried when sending.

I refreshed the stats today and the number of cards marked sent went up by 10, so either some just got sent or people remembered to go back and mark their already sent cards.

Yeah I think so too.

Got an extra one yesterday from MyO, thanks a lot! Cool liist.
So, semi-happy ending to looper's card: It returned to its origin, with a label saying that it was unclaimed. Will try again with registered mail this time. Just in time for midsummer celebrations! :D
Fingers crossed. It better arrive safely now... :D
