send me your least favorite cubimal between now and 1700 UTC/GMT Wednesday and i will make a good-faith effort to send you a cubimal of a different type as soon as possible!

i will document my efforts to fulfill this pledge in this thread.

ground rules: i will ignore bribes. i will not keep any of the cubimals i get. if anyone sends me one after 1700 UTC/GMT Wednesday (noon here on the eastern seaboard of the USA) by accident, i will make a good-faith effort to send them back the same one.

on the off chance that more than 50% of participants have the same least favorite type of cubimal, the fewest possible number of people, selected by random lottery, will be returned their own cubimal.

you should just be able to add me to contacts and send me mail in the game with the cubimal attached. any cubimals you send after the first one will be ignored and either sent back or given away or something (on a lower time priority). 

participants are encouraged, but not required, to name their least favorite cubimal before sending it in. remember, maybe someone else'll grow to care for it, knowing the poor thing had to live with your rejection.

if this experiment is successful (and i intend for it to be!), i may repeat or expand on it in the future.

love, ruptures

  • Hmmm. You know you're gonna get, like, 80% piggies, right? XD

  • you think it's that extreme? if so 60% of participants will just get their piggy back (fine), 20% will get a piggy instead of whatever they like less (good), and 20% (or a quarter of the piggy-senders) will trade up from their piggy (good). this is a no-lose!

  • Can't argue with that logic! I'll send something over when I get back in the game.

  • HA! I am not surprized there were no Uncle Friendlies ot Gwendolyns traded in.

    This was a really fun idea - I may send a slightly more rare one if you do it again. (but not my Magic Rock or Sno Cone vendor)
