Umm...

This is awkward...

It's a trap.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Well the good news is we only need six more international GAFers (seven if jbbb is to get a non-USA partner), as I had NJ Shlice listed twice.

The bad news is we still need six overseas GAFers. One person from the USA has said they're willing to drop out, and I'm willing to do the same. So four more to make the last four USA folks to sign up (before the deadline)happy.

 

[Baraka in the White House]

I'll drop if need be. Catch the next train.

 

[Alucrid]

I'll drop if need be. Catch the next train.

If it comes down to the wire I probably can as well.

Spoiler

I just call dibs for a spot in the next one.

 

[notworksafe]

I'm willing to take a USA partner if it comes to that. Just as long as they are on the other side of the country (I'm in New Mexico) or someplace with unique junk foods. :lol

can i still sign up?

 

[Burger]

I'll email catfish, he might be keen (Netherlands).

What about friends of mine that are not GAF members ? I can think of a friend in Japan that might be interested....

Yes. Yes you can.

(As long as you're not in the US/Canada.)

As long as you vouch for them and they're committed, sure. That would be great.

 

[GhaleonEB]

You did.

Just wrapped up the matching. I've got 37 pairs, and six USA GAFers without a partner, two of whom said they're willing to drop if necessary. I'll start sending out PMs shortly, and keep asking for more international partners until we are able to pull some in.

 

[Einbroch]

Snap son! Almost time.

 

[Fusebox]

Am I too late to sign up? I'll be in this for sure, but does Australia have anything you people want other than Tim Tams?

Sign up! Need more non-USers.

Aren't the natural confectionery company Australian?
Their gummies are so good :0~

 

[GhaleonEB]

Am I too late to sign up?

Nope! Please do.

I've swapped from both Australia and New Zealand. You guys have plenty of good stuff. Might I suggest the chocolate blocks that come in the gold foil wrapper? We got a peanut one that was incredible.

We got some of those, too. Yes, yes they are.

Sounds like the Whittakers Peanut Slab, easily one of my fave choccos and I can supply that in bulk!

 

[Shaneus]

Resident Country | Australia
Preferred Partner Country | Probably US, but anywhere outside AU is fine.
Candy Likes | I have fetish for original-flavoured Swedish Fish (mini? I think they're around 1in in size). But if you're not in a country that has those, no biggie. Prefer clearer/chewier candies to chocolates but will make exceptions if chocolates are extra awesome/different (surprise me!)
Candy Dislikes | None, but rather not have nutty things as we have plenty of nuts here.
Allergies | none


I'm keen on jumping in as well if you guys needed internationals

 

[Rickard]

One person from the USA has said they're willing to drop out, and I'm willing to do the same.

Why don't you two just partner up?

 

[jadedm17]

Just because you see it faster doesn't.... nevermind...

Yea, speaking as his roomie : Overseas please. <3

Edit :

You did

So excited, thank you.

 

[Burger]

Sorry GhaleonEB, Japan friend is out, he doesn't do sugar any more. If you want to partner me with a US fellow thats cool, and I can do a separate one with Meadows if he likes. He could just send a box of wagon wheels and I would be happy

Hopefully when catfish wakes up he will be signing up....

 

[GhaleonEB]

Yup, that was it! Amazing chocolate. We also got a dark chocolate slab and a toasted coconut one. All three put US chocolate to shame.

Thanks for signing up, you two Australians. Two more and we're even (since two others were willing to drop, 898 and Alucrid).

 

[Shaneus]

I can post a link in the AusGAF thread if you want, Ghaleon? I'm sure there are people there who'd be keen that haven't seen this thread yet (I only just saw it today and always have a habit of missing out on them).

 

[Fusebox]

Yeah good idea, I wouldn't have known about it either but Burger mentioned it in a PM so here I am.

Absolutely, please spread the word. I just plugged it in the Halo thread on the gaming side. :lol

Six PMs out, about seventy more to go!

 

[Einbroch]

Got mine and responded to my partner.

Thanks again Ghaleon!

Sure thing, as long as you'll be able to respond to the PM; just bug him to pass the message on.

Thanks to you both.

Two more folks and we've got a perfect set of matches.

Awesome, that makes for an even 44 matches! Thanks everyone!

Candy pimp does indeed have a nice ring to it. You brought in no fewer than six consecutive Australians to even up the matches. Bravo. :lol

And thanks.

I'll PM a mod to remove the plea from the thread title. Sign ups are closed unless someone wants to sign in to help out couple of USA GAFers who hopped in after the deadline.

That works. Now just KingHenrik30 is left hanging awkwardly.

 

[satriales]

Would love to be a part of this but after looking at postage costs I can't really afford it right now.

 

[GhaleonEB]

And that's a wrap - all PMs sent to contact all 90 participants. If you got one that doesn't make sense or didn't get one in all, let me know. I probably borked a copy/past in my late night fatigue. My extra big thanks to everyone who jumped in at at the last minute to even things up.

Now bring on the boxing and unboxing pics.

If anyone knows Babyhack, please tell him to clear out his in box, I can't send him a PM until he does. I'll try again in the morning and hit up a mod to get through to him if he's still unreachable.

[whiteknight]

Done and Done sorry about that

[Alcoori]

It's on. So excited!!

I'll post some teasers, gotta make people salivate thinking about all that delicious candy they're gonna get

 

[Burger]

Thanks to GhaleonEB for sorting all of this out! Cheers!

 

[Shaneus]

Came in to post the same thing... awesome organising Ghaleon. Top-notch effort.

 

[Shawsie64]

[viciouskillersquirrel]
