A 3-way?

I have his box packed. Just need an address.

I think thats what fins is getting at. :sly: ba dum pum!

 

[BGBC]

Ugh, effing fedex. Just checked tracking and it's saying signature required now. Def didn't ask for that. I'll PM the tracking info Ridire, hopefully you can have it redirected to a fedex location or something.

 

[BGBC]

Package is out for delivery. Haven't heard back from Ridire, hopefully someone's around to pick it up...

Anyone hear from Andrikos?

 

[BGBC]

Anyone hear from Andrikos?

Nope. Is there a statute of limitations for him to claim his prize?

 

[finsfan]

Haha not sure. If he pops up in the next month or so I will ship him something. If its next football season I may think twice.

 

[BGBC]

Ugh, delivery failed due to this stupid signature requirement.

that may have been better than it sitting out and freezing.

So thinking ahead to next year, I would love to manage a league here. I have manged them before and have a good understanding on how FF works/what doesnt work in leagues. I didnt like the fact that Nizzle changed our league trade veto half way through the season, and want to stay away from making any changes once we start. Does anyone know when to expect nfl.com to let us sign up for the 2014 season? I know its REALLY early, but I already cant wait till next year.

 

[BGBC]

Delivery successful. I've heard rumors of slushy beers, but hopefully they all made it intact at least...

Sounds like a coup. And Nizzle isn't even here to defend himself...

I didnt mean to throw nizzle under the bus and had no problem that he ran the league, I just did not like that decision to change half way through the season. Im not trying to complain about what happened or anything, just offering my services to run it next year. Im sure by then we can all agree on what we did like and didnt like about this year, and make appropriate changes for the coming season. Obviously if someone wants to also step up and start a league, I would have no problem with it. Just excited to do this again i guess!

 

[Ridire]

BGBC. The report from the wife is that there is some slush. They are being left at room temp for a while.

I have a box all packed up for Ridre but damn, his weather is even crappier than mine!! The high for the next 10 days looks to be in the lower 20's. Perhaps I should attempt using 48 hour heating pads!

I cant remember who, but someone in the Swap thread put 1 or 2 inch foam pad on all walls of the box to insulate it. I think that and the heating pad would be more than sufficient to make it.

I used basically a insulated box of foam too. I am going to tape a heat pad in the top and in the bottom and let it rip. Should be cozy for the trip. I only cut a little corner off the heat packs so they last well over 2 days in shipping. Gonna let this baby fly tomorrow!

I wouldnt ship it over the weekend, it is bound to sit somewhere for a day, if not two. Shipping monday gives you the best chance of it not stalling somewhere or day(s).

Well, at least they're intact, hopefully all still good, and hopefully new to you.

I couldn't find any Exit 16 at the time, so threw in the Exit 4 instead. The Frost Monster is a pretty good imperial stout IMO. I haven't actually had the BA BORIS, but everyone else seems to like it . The two HBs - the saison is the Cottage House saison from this site, but with Motueka and Nelson. The hops have faded, but it should still be drinking well. The other pretty much the same grain bill, but added pumpkin to the mash and bottled with some pumpkin spices (and both used 3711 :cross.

Just an FYI, I'm pretty sure he changed it after a some people doing trades didn't like having to wait the 3 days for the trade to go through and asked if there was a way to do away with that. So he changed it.

I remember that, but i still wouldnt want to make any changes during the season.

Well, it's probably ideal to leave everything the same, but I honestly believe he was just trying to help them out because their trade wouldn't have went through in time for the game that Sunday. But it has been like 5 months, the season is long over, and Nizzle is no longer on HBT, so really there's no reason for it to have even been brought up or discussed. If you want to run a league on HBT this next season that's fine, but there's no reason to bring up crap he did that you didn't agree with 5 months after the fact. If anyone had a problem with it, it should've been discussed when it happened.

 

[BGBC]

Andrikos?

 

[finsfan]

Andrikos?

I sent him a PM a week or so ago and he never got back to me. He has been on HBT since then

So, did he win y'all's little side wager and y'all owe him beer?

 

[finsfan]

Yep, I think it should go to the runner up though

 

[WesleyS]

Since it was separate from the main league deal, it's completely up to those who were part of it, but I agree that the runner up should get it. It's been long enough, he forfeited his prize as far as I'm concerned.

Im not sure what hes up to, but he has been on HBT many times this month. weird

If he's been on HBT and hasn't responded to this thread or your PM that most likely means two things. He's not shipping beer to Ridire, and because of that, he's just staying away even though he's owed beer. I'm assuming he never gave an address?
I could be wrong, but I'd say there's a good chance we won't hear anything more from him. But, he may show up and prove me wrong.

Thats kind of what I was thinking. He does live out of the country but claimed to have an address we could ship to in AZ. He may have joined to take his chances on winning to get beers, but didnt plan to ship any out. Who knows though.

 

[Hello]

I've had a box ready collecting dust. I have seen him online but he hasn't posted. My recommendation is that one person sends him a PM to advise he has 2 weeks to respond and at the very least indicate whether or not he will provide an address or forfeit his beer. I'd put a read receipt on the message but those are easily declined. Since I believe most have notifications turned on if a PM comes, he should know there is a message. His last activity date was Feb 8th. I think 2 weeks is fair.

What is another two weeks after? The rib here would be for anyone who opted to ship a decent IPA. I think at that point it is just downright rude and if that IPA isn't as good as it could be due to it sitting, then that is basically someone's effort to ship a good beer to someone down the drain. It is not as though it would be crap, but that is the only beer I can really think of that wouldn't appreciate the forced long-term aging.

The hard decision is to just move on but 2 weeks is just about the last day of the month and well past the end of the league. Also, the decision would be easier if he hasn't shipped to the winner and has not contacted the winner to at least provide some idea when beer may come.

Fin were you the runner up? This should come down to as much of a vote as we can get and the runner up should not get a say because it directly benefits them to be swayed. I would say this is if were me. Color me bitchy, but it has to be as far as possible because we did know he was out of the country but I don't think anyone expected to sit on their packages for this long.

I was the runner up, you and BGBC can deicde what we should do. We can always do a swap like BGBC suggested. I did PM Andrikos a couple weeks ago and he was been on here since but has not responded.
