Sorry, but I'm gonna take Santoro's statements about needing enough to make it worth the risk of making an order as a clear statement of his position.

While I'll agree that he may not be putting the energy towards this that he's done in previous years with running a design contest, I also can't say that I blame him; he made it clear how many he'd need to order in order to make it worthwhile and we're only at maybe half that amount.  Adding up the numbers here, (and giving some leeway for those that said they may order more/less based on the design) I'd say that we've got verbal here for between 4000 and 5000 tokens.

Reading back through thread, though, I don't see a note indicating how many you'd be willing to pre-pay and order for.  What can we count you in for?

Marsupial:

you know what?

people won't commit to a purchase without a design being selected. Passing trough a design contest might not prove efficient, regardless of people's interest, as not every coin-interested arcade people are graphics-savyy.


Soooo... stating that there's not ennough interest when not making anything to stir interest in the first place, is the easy way out.
Truth is, he said it himself. Other things came about in his life.
He passed to something else.
Have you seen him chime in lately? he's just not that interested in having this going. He's done his part and now wants out.

It is sad, because people come and leave here, some would order new tokens, and maybe even some of the previous year's while doing an order. I know I would. But the delay result in loss of interests. I personally have passed to an alternate way of getting tokens. Oh, they're not BYOAC, but they are great and suit my needs.

In the end of the day, nobody is blaming him, but the truth is, we're relying on someone who doesn't want it that much.

I don't blame anybody who doesn't want to stick their neck out on the line, especially with people already walking a thin line between survival and living in a box. He has already stated he had to cough up a bunch of his own money (more than once) to get these tokens made. With money for many people the way it is, I don't blame him one bit.

Hope I'm not too late to the party. I'm definitely in for 200, 500 if we need it to reach 10000.

thx,

Sorry, but even without a decision being made on a design, people chimed in above for a total of ~4-5k.

However, if I read that as you won't commit to a purchase without a design being selected, I'll respect your decision to wait.
