The OMGOT Migration Box-o-Junk!
I got this idea from Pop-Sci where there was a whole chain of people who would send a box full of junk to the next person.  They would have to take out what they received and fill it with new things.  My suggestion is the same except with misc computer parts or gaming related.  We all are very computer literate and we all have a computer junk box sitting around.  Different junk is better than the same ol' junk right?  Let me get a list of everyone who wants to participate and I will get things started!

HOW TO REGISTER:
Register with me by replying to this thread or sending me an email to gridjmpr@gmail.com. (I get too many messages via steam friends during the day and I don't want to overlook your request or get side tracked and not write it down)

The price to participate in this exchange is $10.70 to cover the flat rate shipping.  The weight limit is 70 lbs. (omg)

THE MAXIMUM TIME YOU CAN HOLD ON TO THE BOX IS TWO WEEKS.  (If things are a little too busy for you then you need to let a moderator know why it might take longer)

Participants:
  • RedSe7en - (overall event coordinator)
  • Chu-Chu - (assistant coordinator)
  • Your Welcome - (assistant coordinator)
  • Thank You
  • Mokintosh
  • Ombrellone
  • Dankster


OFFICIAL ORDER OF SENDING / RECEIVING
1. RedSe7en
2. Mok
3. Chu-Chu
4. Dankster
5. Thank You / Your Welcome
6. Ombrellone
7. RedSe7en (if you want to do a complete circle)


Bad news.  All they had was this box.  So we're going with the medium slim box.  It's not that bad though.

ITEM SPECIFIC RULES -> College style!
modified Mar 2nd, 2010, 10:58am cause I cant f**cking spell... ever...

SENDER PICKS 4 CHOICES TO DISH OUT
...since doing them takes up time and people gotta get up for work in the morning...


1. If you are sent music in the storage device or anything dealing with music, you must post a 20 second video of you singing to it and dancing like a maniac!

2. If you are sent a game or hand held game, you must write an in-depth analysis thread on a completely RANDOM forum (e.g. another clan forum, or a forum for people shopping for clothes... be creative).  You must then post it here with a link attached and any responses or bans.

3. If you are sent anything that plays movies and has a movie on it, you must write a page and a half about how you relate to the main character.

4. If you are sent any diagnostic tool or tool kit for computers, you must dress up in hardcore nerd attire and post two pictures of the nerd you are, thanking who ever gave you the junk.

5. If you are sent a hard drive or USB stick that happens to contain gay porn, you have to post a 20 second video of you watching it and puking your guts out!

6. If you are sent a gag gift, you must take it with you to a social event (e.g. the bar or a get together with more than 10 people).  You will then take two pictures of you and the gift (it must be certain you are among people and that hilarity ensued!)

7. If you are sent something you dislike, you must post 5 pictures or 20 sec video of you destroying it in the most creative way you can think of!  But don't get hurt doing it cause we will send it to America's Funniest Home Videos.

8. If you are given something that causes many lols on the forum, you are required to (clear tape) anything that relates to the item that was given, on the box.  You can't tape objects to the outside of the box, and if theres no booklet or sticker you can rip from the item then don't worry about it.

--------$$  if you sell the junk you received  $$--------

13a. If you sell any of your junk at any time during the box migration, you must post a link of where your selling it (if your selling it online) so we can help you or mess around with you, and you must donate 15% to the OMGOT site.  Post that you donated on the thread and everyone must thank you by drawing you a MSPAINT "thank you" card.

13b. If you sell any of your junk to someone in person, you must donate 15% to the OMGOT site.  Post that you donated on the thread and everyone must thank you by drawing you a MSPAINT "thank you" card.

PLEASE NOTE:
We can't follow you around to force this rule so its up to you to follow this or not.  But seriously, if you don't want to follow the selling rule then your a dick that doesn't deserve participating in this game.  If you do donate, please post it![/color]


[size=22]GUIDELINES -> Mandantory style!


1.  The person sending the item cannot tell the the next person what they are giving.  The receiving person must post what they found in the box (no being vague) or post a couple photos.

2. Remember to keep "Cambot" in the box when you're done.  People might use the excuse of not having equipment to follow the directions for item specific rules.

3. The person who receives the package must be told what "item specific" rules apply by the sender via message board.  One of the officials (like me) must approve if the choice applies or not to that item.

4. Everyone must write "tag" something on the outside of the box.  Write your name / alias near your tag.

||  5a. If you send any storage device, something must be on it.  (e.g. micro sd card, floppy disks, zip disks...etc.)
||
||  5b. I strongly discourage giving a hard drive or USB stick since I might be tempted to restore it from the previous reformat.  If you
||        can delete previous reformat and you're confident enough, you have my blessing.

6. If you are sent anything and are asked not to destroy it, do not destroy the item until approved by a coordinator!

7. If you receive something that is lame or the sender just didn't give a crap to make you're package unique, then the sender is a f**cking dick.

8. If you receive an empty box... (we will figure it out when it happens)

NEW**  9. Please do not send junk that the next person cant use! If you want to send old SDRam or a 4x CD drive, ask the person you are sending it to if they need it. No one can really use obsolete stuff.

CAMBOT ...from mst3k...
I just finished getting all my junk together.  Who ever is first is going to have funny ass things to do and many lol's to perform.  I'd say there's about $300 worth of items in there... calculated when I first bought them... HA!

To prevent excuses why you cant follow the item rules, I've placed inside the box an ancient web-cam that should remain in the box so everyone can make videos to follow the rules.  But yall' can put retarded stickers on it or color it... but don't mess with the lens.

Lets vote on the box size

We will be using USPS flat rate boxes which come in many different sizes.  Here is a summary of what we can choose.

...
This is the rectangle (thin?) box.  Dimensions are approximately 5-3/8” x 8-5/8” x 1-5/8”  if that gives you an idea... (I can't visualize it too well) and the price to send it would be $4.95 (unless you fill it up with led and phonebooks).

...
This is the regular lookin box.  Dimensions are approximately 11" X 8.5" X 5.5" and the price to send it would be $10.70 (might be good if we got things that will need height

...
This is the bigger (thin) box.  Dimensions are approximately 11-7/8" x 3-3/8" x 13-5/8" and the price to send it would be $10.70

cast your votes for which box you think you think we will need to keep things going smoothly.

RedSe7en:  Vote for ... (the boxy looking box)
