Mass Order - 2006 ADA Catalogue in English – Close on July 28 ’06.

[Justikanz]

Thanks, Nicky! If I am late, I will arrange with Thio to help me and Juggler pick up the catalogues...

[Biotopeshop]

Don't worry.. I have prepared a spreadsheet of only 60 names.
Sign on it when you pick up the catalogue.
For example: I don't care if the 58th person decides to pick up right after #26.

I will be at the Pickup place at the scheduled time. Once the time is up I'm going home..

Anyway.. just to let you drool a little more.. for the first time I understand what ADA is trying to tell us in their catalogue.. let me continue to read the catalogue.. see ya..

Nicky,

You are making everyone so anxious to meet this weekend already..today is only Monday!
Perhaps for the next few days someone's gonna pm you and say " Please Nicky, I can't wait till this weekend, can I pick it up from you now?"

Once again, thank you for your kind efforts.

Cheers

Thio

Nicky your announcement on the catalouges arrival will make me cannot concentrate on my work for the next 5 days cos my mind is too pre-occupied with getting my hands on the catalouge now. Speaking of monday blues

Hi,

Just curious. How will Nick know who is who ? Any possible way or fraud-proof of identification ?

May each of the intended one will PM Nick and exchange their Mobile number. On the day, SMS/call Nick as proof during face-to-face .

[hii]

cant wait anymore...hope tomorrow wake up is Saturday already.

Thks Nicky for all the effort...

Yeah thats true.
We need to do some fraud protection. Though means Nicky probably has to do even more work than he has already done.

Cause theres nothing to stop somebody stealing in for a copy or to take multiple copies during the confusion and buzz of collection.

[gks]

Since all eligible nicks are listed in this thread, anyone can fake a nick to obtain a precious copy of the catalogue.

I suggest that Nicky issue each eligible forummer a unioque password tied to nick to minimise fraud.

[Nicky]

OK, will think about it tonight and annouce it.
The problem I thought of yesterday is that not all can access PM because we have people who does not have 10 post-count.
Maybe those people should put their mobile number here (for me to see) and when they collect I just have to try ringing their phone. If it rings, the catalog is theirs.

Will post something tonight to fix this loophole.

Assume that you need to dial to 50 folks, that means you need to dial 400
digits plus another 50 send buttons. You will be rather busy with your HP instead of interacting with fellow forummers.

Anyway, if you are keen to try that out, I will PM my HP number.

Thank you for taking the time, effort and paying first.

This is the wonderful thing about this hobby, there are plenty of wonderful folks like you...

Nick, they can use the email function unless you disable that option of yours.

Hi Nicky, Thio,

Can I pick up on weekdays since my office ie nearby? Weekends are usually extremely busy.

Hi Nicky, Thio,

Since Nicky is the IC for this event, may suggest that you make prior notice to him so that when your name is called, I'll fall in for you

Please indicate your expected dated of collection, but you must collect it asap oh..else we'll keep it for ourselves

regards

Thio

[|squee|]

Just for safety purposes, I'm mentioning here that I'm collecting at c328 on 6th Aug Sunday.

[ranmasatome]

Nicky.. i cant collect this week.. but if so.. i will head down to your place to collect it.. i have never aeroplaned anyone.. and you know who i am.. pls keep my copy for me. i will be away in malaysia.

[oblivion]

This is getting messy.
Seems like we need an ID system to make sure the collecting people are who they are supposed to be.
Then we need an anti-fraud system.
We also need a tracking system for whos collecting when and where etc...

Oh boy...
I'm trying to think if theres any simple and easy way to do this.
Else Nicky's going to have quite some work on this.

Anyone can think of any good method?

[Nicky]

Hey not to worry.. I am in the process of sending a 3-byte code to each of the 60 members via PM. There are some who do not want to / cannot receive PM and I will attempt to email them. If all else fail I will post a notice later asking them to contact me instead.

[BFG]

Thio, what time do you close shop on that day? I can't collect on the stated time, can you hold a copy for me?
