The great CFC chain letter: around the world in 80 days!

contre · Aug 18, 2011, 12:55 PM

Thank you all for signing up for this. I'm really excited to see this project finish, though I'm guessing it'll be a number of months. The order has been hammered out as follows:

Quote:

Contre
Warpus
Valka
Zelig
Orange Seeds(to US)

Syterion
Hygro
Contre's mother. Because I can.
CivCube
Godwynn
VRWCAgent
Mangxema
madviking
Cutlass
Lucy
Igloo (to UK)

Truronian
silurian
Kan
Abaddon
Traitorfish
Boundless (to Europe)*

Algeroth
SiLL
civ-addicted
Cheetah
stuge

rugbyLEAGUEfan (to New Zealand!)

Nobody (to Canada)

Contre

*no one point out the UK is in Europe. I don't need your pedantry here!

26-9-2001 LucyDuke has created a map of the camera's travels which can be found here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpo...&postcount=229

You are responsible for PMing the poster before you on this list with your name and address OR the address of a local post office which can hold the package for you, thus not requiring you to give out your actual address if you so choose. If you wish to use this option, you are responsible for contacting your country's postal service to get required information.

So for example, Warpus is responsible for PMing me his address, Valka is reposnible for PMing Warpus her address and so on. If a member fails to PM you, and doesn't respond to a request for their mailing information, skip to the next poster on the list.

As a reminder, we do have a patron willing to help out other users who find the next step in mailing to be more expensive than they'd anticipated. If you need assistance, contact me (Contre) via PM. Do try and use the cheapest method possible though. There's no need to ship expedited.

Included with the camera will be a small notebook to write notes about the picture you took and why you took it. It may also be used for just about anything else you'd like to write to others. If you so choose, you may also send a small trinket of where you're from to the next poster. This is entirely up to you. I think I shall send Warpus a twig.

I will update the thread as needed with more information as needed.

Spoiler for original OP:

Truronian · Aug 18, 2011, 01:00 PM

This sounds very cool. Count me in.

Zelig · Aug 18, 2011, 01:01 PM

I'm in from Calgary.

I'm fine with any link, but I'm uncomfortable with contre knowing my real name.

madviking · Aug 18, 2011, 01:04 PM

As long as it gets to me sometime between 20 August and 16 December (i.e. when I'm in college), I'm up for it.

nonconformist · Aug 18, 2011, 01:05 PM

In, degenerates/

Boundless · Aug 18, 2011, 01:07 PM

Definitely in, and lets say from my new location in York, UK!

GhostWriter16 · Aug 18, 2011, 01:07 PM

This sounds fun.

NOT IN, but good luck

IglooDude · Aug 18, 2011, 01:25 PM

Instead of a PBEM, it's a PBSM? Cool, I hope it doesn't go the way of most CFC Civ PBEMs, though. I'm up for it.

civ-addicted · Aug 18, 2011, 01:27 PM

Oooh, sounds fun. I'm in.

Kan' Sharuminar · Aug 18, 2011, 01:27 PM

I'm in.

Kyriakos · Aug 18, 2011, 01:35 PM

Are you sure this is more than a plot to get me to actually use a camera and post a pic from outside my apartment?

AL_DA_GREAT · Aug 18, 2011, 01:37 PM

I am in. However. Why not digital? 27 pics is not a lot.

SuperJay · Aug 18, 2011, 01:45 PM

What a cool idea. I'd love to join but I know myself well enough to recognize that I'd just sandbag the whole endeavour and probably lose the camera.

Looking forward to seeing the pictures, though!

I may do digital since I can get a cheap one for about the same price. But I still want to limit it to only 20-30 people so the camera finishes the trip somewhat quickly. There is also the issue of charging it if it's not USB... we all have different plug standards.

rugbyLEAGUEfan · Aug 18, 2011, 02:46 PM

Sounds great . I'm in . But I will be overseas all of September till mid October . Please let me know if I can still join.

Catharsis · Aug 18, 2011, 03:01 PM

This is such a good idea.

I can't participate because of lack of knowledge about my location over the next few months, but I wish you good luck and am making a subscription post.

Volum · Aug 18, 2011, 03:04 PM

I guess i could give this a go.

Lillehammer, Norway.

cardgame · Aug 18, 2011, 03:08 PM

I would, but my mom is a little bit paranoid and overprotective and without having any knowledge of the context of this situation would definitely be pissed

I'll pass for now.

Boundless · Aug 18, 2011, 03:20 PM

Abaddon is in too, from East Yorkshire!

Traitorfish · Aug 18, 2011, 03:37 PM

If anybody is remotely interested in a picture of Dundee, then I could contribute.
