Puro Pot Pass III

[ashauler]

Puts only had to be between $3 - $5.....missing on the low end for a $3 requirement is different than missing the $5 puro requirement imho. Anyway, that point is moot.

I'm not sure that changing the rules at the end of a pass is good. According to the original rule:

Player E: As the last player, if he guesses right. He of course keeps the prize. But if he guesses wrong he must bomb an unsuspecting victim not associated with the game. Preferrably a n00b.

anyone signing up for the pass did so with the expectation that they would either win or lose when it was there turn, and that at the end, some lucky newbie would get some nice $5 sticks.

You're right. I dropped the ball here. Nelson's dilemma and this dilemma are not comparable.

Agreed. After thinking about it, my initial action was hasty. Besides, it's not fair to mislead everyone in this pass due to some dunderhead mistake I made.

Tdre977, I'll shoot you a PM. Stay the course with the newbie bombing, and post your puts for posterity. Please send me the DC#, but don't display it publicly.

But.....

Not exactly. They'd possibly get some nice $3 sticks - the puts had to be at least $3 MSRP. But like I said above, it's not fair to mislead either the members of the pass or any potential newbie of the outcome of the pass. I stand corrected and apologize.

Sorry about all of this everyone - one of these days, these PPP passes will end well.......

Yep, my mistake, the prize would be between $3 and $5 sticks, not exclusively $5 sticks.

I wasn't attempting to "correct" you Mark, not in the slightest, just offering my opinion. It's not easy running passes like this, and this particular one requires more of the hosts time than many others.

You are to be commended for running this, and in fact, I think perhaps you should go to condition 0 strikes.

Talk about changing rules!!!!!! I earned my two strikes, then I had to earn one of them being removed. I stand by my strike.

Well, don't say I never gave you nuttin'.

Well I was wrong.... Guess I'm expecting a Dominican!

No hard feelings on any of this, had fun and now have a new variety I need to put in my rotation.

Later tonight when I get home I'll rummage around in my box and get my puts in.

And thanks to Mark for Running this and sorting through all this!

Mark i think you did a excellent job of running the pass and hope that next year you run it again.
