The question is if you're somewhat of an outsider and you want one of these gorgeous pieces of art what "subtle" rules changes will be in effect for future sales.
    This "so called" rule change has been known at least since I've been interested (which was many many months and many many sales ago) and was discussed MANY times last night before the sale and many, many times in this thread prior to that. I doubt anyone withheld that information deliberately. The people who hang out here are without a doubt, some of the most helpful on the forum and considering how helping a newbie hurts their own chances, I find it wonderful and refreshing just how helpful they are. I would think if you're that interested in getting a tank, you'd come in and hang out a bit and ask questions. I've know about the "any" option for a long time, just by hanging out and talking to people.

    Good morning Corps! (I just love how my phone wants to change that to corpse ). Hope you all have an awesome day. Morgan and I will be scarce until later today.

    Thanks again Jon for continuing to do this despite all the headaches and to Dino for being the behind the scenes man and to all the LavaCorps senior members who sat out! You're all awesome!

    The "can I put any for my third choice?" was asked at least 5 times last night and was answered every time that it is fine to do that.......

    That is a great piece of advice. When I came in here I did a lot of reading and asking and I come around everyday to see what is happening. Certain types of stalking are frowned upon but stalking this thread if you want a LavaTank is kinda mandatory imho.

    Your chances only get better because we give burnt offerings of dead batteries and used cartos to The Great Trogdor on your behalf.

    You're right about all or most of what you said about the people here. I NEVER said or insinuated that anyone was trying to hide any information to keep anyone of getting a tank. All I'm saying are the facts. I'm not naturally a super chatty person on line. BUT I did spend more than a couple hours researching information to get one of these tanks. I had the "rules" as listed in the link down pat. Again, if your somewhat of an outsider as in you don't or cant spend alot of time in this thread and don't know of subtle rules changes as discussed within the thread ones chances of getting a tank are somewhat lessoned.

    Also, I think it was very "cool" that a bunch of "members" were willing to sit this one out for the newbs. All I'm saying is rather than defend what is great with blinders on just take a look at how to make things maybe even greater for those wanting one of these tanks. As I stated in my earlier post I don't feel those who didn't get a tank should be beating themselves up over this "rule" that at some point was enacted. Bottom line though is get your pm in in that first minute then all this is mute. Again, congrats to all the winners.
