The card is very good - the 1st page + 3rd page and it's a superb SMAC/X card!

I like the citate from CEO Nwabudike Morgan!

BinTravkin, where are you located (which continent)? You want me to send the card to you after I get it from Ouro? Are you close to Herc and Jam and Ill? Or are they all going to participate?

I wonder how come not more people are interested? It would be a great thing to do for Vel. Why don't the rest of you SMAC(X)ers join too? It would function best if large bulk of community signed it.

I agree entirely. I guess some people may have an issue about disclosing RL address. But if you only need to disclose it to one person, surely you could find that one person you trust enough? Or are we really this vunarable?

Yes, I do think the problem in disclosure of RL adress. I don't trust all people here, but I do trust some of them. Perhaps there is an alternate solution? Scanning our messages and sending all of them to one person in order to avoid this?

If we are going to have same amount of people participate either way then I would prefer the hand writing route, but if scanning would give us much more people to participate than I'm all for it. Issue is how to let people know and be involved.

And, of course, we'd be scanning in "Googlie" and "Illuminatus" as sigs, not our real life sigs (that could be downloaded and used as electronic signatures by unscrupulous hackers)

Yes, we probably would need a poll. Or people could just decide one way or another. And start doing it.

Ok I've posted a post in each of the private forums. Let's go ahead with the handwriting one, since I don't see a lot of people who want to do the other one. We don't want to wait for too long before we start. People can still be added in if they want when the mail starts.

I've PMed Ouro my mailing address. I would need a mailing address to mail the card to, perferably somebody in the State if there's any. Then we will move to the Europe.

It'll probably get out on tomorrow's flight... Monday if the weather is bad then. You have to remember, I live in the middle of nowhere.... We can only get mail out in the winter, once a day, max.

OK, I see that was written wrong. There's only two easy ways out of here, and only one for mail. In the winter and fall, only one mail plane a day usually leaves, in the morning. Summer and spring we might have two or three planes a day....

Okay, is this going to be a mail card or a real one? Personally I won't be around by the time such a card would arrive, I'm on extended holidays starting next month. So I prefer a mail card.

How about this: write your message by hand and fax it to someone who can print out the faxes and maybe cut and paste all the messages on to one sheet (or two) for enclosure with the card. The person receiving the faxes should be close enough towhere Vel lives so that the card would arrive within a day or two.

I'm stuck in the southern hemisphere, so just print my best wishes for Vel on the card.

I don't have a fax. Can't think off hand where I could get to one either.

How about a card, that's sent around inside an envelope? Or was that the idea all along?

And what's the difference between a "real card" and a "mail card"?

Yes that is the idea all along, the card sent along inside an envelop. Though some people may not be able to do it due to various reasons.

1) I´d prefer a large sheet of paper instead of a card, so that all of the messages can be on a single piece... (plus it can then be used as a poster)
2) Jamski has my mailing address, if not, I could resend it to him
3) We really need an optimized pattern for sending it, e.g. ending at Vel´s place (whereever that is?), thus starting on the other side of the earth
4) We should include the used stamps and postmarks in the envelope we send to the next person; We also should mention our location within our message, so Vel knows where the card has been

A large card should be big enough for all of our messages, I think. We still don't have a lot of participants yet. But I like your last two suggestions. Anybody who is good at Geography and coordinate this a little? ('cause I'm really bad at that. ) I wonder how we could include the used stamps and postmarks ... Will it be allowed by the post office?

In order to do so we need two things:
a) A final list of all members willing to participate
b) Their locations (plus someone should point out where Vel lives, so I can finally stop hinting that I don´t know that )

quote: Originally posted by Snowflake I wonder how we could include the used stamps and postmarks ... Will it be allowed by the post office?

Well, whenever one of us receives the envelope he cuts off the part with the stamp, takes a new envelope and puts it in there
As long as there´s the secrecy of the mails in the respective country, there shouldn´t be a problem with it
It´s just a gimmick, but maybe he likes to collect stamps, or he just wants to put it on his wall...

What would also work is that each of us sends a standard size postcard from where he/she lives to Vel or someone who visits Vel. That would be much faster, less expensive and he´d get postcards from all over the world.
Only downside: It´s not one big thing to pin at the wall...
