This is a thread generated automatically by the Cigar Pass system to discuss the Cigar Pass named 'Virtual Yankee Gift Exchange II'.

Use this link to return back to the Cigar Pass.

Here are the rules for this pass:

Each participant will send the moderator 5 cigars: 2x $6-12value sticks, 2x $12-20 and 1 Hard to find stick. along with $6.80 to cover shipping (flat rate box)

I would then assign these cigars into lots of 2 (1x $5-10 + 1x $10-15) or 1 hard to find stick and each lot assigned a letter designation. The identity of the packages will be shared with the donator, so that they do not accidentally pull their own contributions.

The participants will be randomized, and starting with the first person, they would choose a package. The cigars in that package will then be revealed. The next person would then either choose a new package out of the pile or steal a revealed lot. If stolen, the person who was stolen from gets a turn again to pick or steal. This would go on until all lots are taken.

A lot can only be stolen 3 times before it is frozen and can no longer be taken.

You cannot directly steal back from the person who stole from you within the same person's turn.

At the end, everyone will end up with 3 lots (3-6 cigars depending on whether they got the HTFs or not).

I have a Google Speadsheet that will be used to track each package, its contents and how many times it has been taken.

Unfortunately, because of shipping costs, the $6.80 would be limited to US residents. If Non-US geeks want to participate, we would need to work out shipping costs separately.

Also, because of the time that this pass will take, I am limiting it to 12 members. I will accept requests to join until the 31st of October, and will randomize the sign ups to see who gets in. Still, you must have at least veteran status and no negative pass feedback.

Have fun everyone.

If we hit the 12 player maximum, it will be a lottery for who can participate.  However, members from last year's exchange are grandfathered in.

PPal is easiest.  However, for those who don't have an account and don't want one, you can send cash with the cigars (no checks of money orders please).

Please, no one ship until we have everyone confirmed.  I would rather tackle organizing this beast as a one shot, rather than in piecemeal.

Google spreadsheet is a clunky program.  I think that everyone should be able to view now.
