Title: Gauging Interest for the Next Little Swap
Post by: clones_rebellion on January 26, 2012, 03:51:39 PM
I know there are a few swaps currently running in the Corral, so I'm checking to see if there would be enough interest to start a new Little Swap. Here is the link to the last one I hosted.

http://mlparena.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=273838.html

The rules would be the same. It's a great swap for newbies (although, I do require a bit of feedback.) Any takers?

A few of us are in the Valentines Swap and in the Set Completer Swap and we've a chance that we received our boxes then. ;)

I don't have any feedback, so I won't be joining, but I'm planning on doing some art stuff and maybe in a little while I will have enough FB to start doing swaps :)

Hi! I'm new the swaps but I've always wanted to join one.  :biggrin:

I read your other post and I'm confused by this line:

"You *DO NOT* have to send ponies from your partner’s want list unless you want to/ are able to. (But I do encourage it, if you can!)"

Does this mean my partner might send me any random mlp's in existence if I join this swap? What if my partner sends me a bunch of G2's or G1's and I only collect G3/G4's? Or what if I only collect unicorns and someone sends me earthies?

I'm not saying my wish list is full of nirvanas and rares, because it's not, a lot of my wish list is cheap/common ponies. But there are some MLP's I just don't collect and wouldn't really be excited to open a package only to find ponies I can't put in my collection.

You've been in one of my swaps already! That qualifies you! :hug:

@ Sternenstaub and Eternia~ Mid February? Noted! :)

That *is* a risk in a random swap. Most people do try to send ponies from their partner's list, especially if their partner has easier-to-find ponies on their list, like you. Swaps are all about spoiling your partner, but not everyone has a want list. ;)

This looks like a great swap and I would be very interested in joining. Heck, I followed the brag thread for the previous almost religiously because everyone looked like they were having so much fun! Sadly, I'm 4 short on the feedback. I'll see if I can't get some here shortly so maybe I can join in. :D

I'll be sure to give you feedback as soon as I get my package from you, and I'm expecting to give positive FB lol

Clones: Yaaaay! Thank you! I'm definitely up for this.

I'd be interested in joining this one! I don't have the cash right now to go buy ponies on wishlists but I have over 100 ponies up for trade laying around. :D

Hmmm I believe I was in this swap at some time :) It would be nice to be in it again but I need to get my economy stable before I could

It sounds like the general consensus it to wait a few more weeks. So I will launch the intro on Saturday February 11.

For the newbies who might need some help with feedback, send me a PM once the swap thread is started. I *Might* be able to make an exception or two. ;)

I hope to see you all then! :frolic:

i'd love to join but i'm not sure about my money status, so depending when you do sign ups, i may not be able to. but would be looking forward to seeing some brag pics from everyone in the brag area!
not sure how much feedback is needed, but i've done quite a few trades, people just haven't left feedback yet. do references count? meaning names of people who haven't left feedback, but who could say they did do a trade? i keep a notebook of names and what was sold or traded.

I wish I could but I'm going to be helping LadySatine and Midnight_Dream host a meet in NW Ohio in April so I need to save up some moolah and will be spending time working out the details. :) Maybe if you host one in the summer/fall I could join! (...once I have my wishlist updated after the meet, lol ;) )

I'm in the same boat. I'd love to join in on the swap otherwise, though! I've never done one and I think it would be fun :)

You are already pretty close. I usually require five feedbacks. You could send PMs to those who still owe you feedback. They may have forgotten or were waiting for the new Arena to come up. ;) And, like I've mentioned, I *might* be able to make an exception or two. :)

u___u; I might be tight on money for the next month (tears). I do love this swap, I think the challenge of a small box makes people think more about what goes into it.

I have kept my eye out for perfect boxes ever since the last one.
