I agree but what if your landline is down?

What if the landlines are down AND the cell towers are down? FIRST should really fix this potential issue.

What if the landlines, the cell towers, AND the FIRST Choice Servers are down? What do we do then?

Break into AndyMark's warehouse and physically take your FIRST Choice items. It saves on shipping too.

Or we order though an automated phone system: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSQ6q_rGpI8

Each registered team will be issued one 3 X 5 index card, one blue crayon, and one carrier pigeon...international teams are issued a very fast pigeon.

Dangnabbit. If they keep fixing stuff and making it excellent, what am I going to have left to complain about?

All good. Looking forward to it all.

Complain about the fact you have nothing to complain about. I think you can manage that, Mr. Curmudgeon.


Like the changes--assuming they work (and the test opportunity says they'll have a pretty high chance or working).

Teams are issued a swallow and a coconut. They must then calculate the airspeed velocity of the swallow while carrying the coconut. Some teams will be issued African swallows, while others will be issued European swallows.

The teams who incorrectly calculate the airspeed velocity of the swallow will be sacked. The people that proposed using swallows to begin with will also be sacked.

A classic. Spotlit.

All teams will be issued a woman, a plank of wood, and a duck. If the woman and the duck weigh the same, the woman is obviously made of wood. That means she is a witch, and will conjure the items you want. If she weighs more/less than the wood, all you get this year is little small rocks.

Can it be a blue or red crayon, so that we don't overwhelm suppliers and cause blue crayons to be out of stock for a while?

I am not sure if the changes are good, Saturday means more people trying to order at the same time, the website will be slower and it will take a lot of time to order something.
It took me 45 minutes to order from the FIRST Choice liquidation....
limiting the quantities may be a better solution
