PLEASE RSVP BY 2/21 for the 2/23 Members-Only Frag Swap at Mission Blue

[Mr. Seahorse]

In case it hasn't been mentioned already... it's probably time to start lifting up those couch cushions and find all those pennies! You'll want to bring as many of them as you can find to buy these raffle tickets. Or just hand your money to @Darkxerox to buy your tickets and it's an automatic win.

I'm so excited! I'm definitely going!

There will be coral vendors there with frag packs for sale. So just show up and bring some cash they take cards as well fyi

Another option for those without frags to bring is to just join in the third round as I mentioned above

Hi folks, wondering if this is still the case - a strain can be only repeated twice. So i won't be able to get a bonus ticket if I bring 3 awesome blossom zoa frags (on the bonus zoa list)?

What if I bring 3 bonus coral A, 3 bonus coral B, 3 bonus coral C? Based on the rule I can only get 2 bonus ticket instead of 3.

Your description is confusing me a little bit. But lets say you bring 3 Each of 3 different types of bonus i believe you get three tickets.

I think the rule was more meant to stop over use of say, you bring 9 of the same bonus coral = 3 tickets.

I think if I remember correct the max of one bonus coral is 6 to get 2 tickets.

There is no limit on number of ultra corals.

At least my understand that was the rule but hasn't been stricly enforced the last 2-3 swaps.

Just don't be the guy who shows up with 15 of the same bonus zoa expecting to get 5 bonus tickets. (I think that rule was in place to limit abouse, ie someone fragging a single colony if x coral and flooding the swap and getting tons of tickets that way.)

I think the standard was you are welcome to bring more than 6 of same bonus coral for max of 2 tickets but any beyond that wouldn't count for additional bonus tickets.

Meaning bring 9 of same bonus coral you get 2 bonus tickets, the other 3 could still be given to go into the swap. Many members bring extra corals to donate to the swap as well fyi.

If I can find the post I will link it below this with a update.

Just to be clear I'm going off memory here I maybe completely wrong and have it backwards. I believe this topic was discussed in some of the past threads

@IOnceWasLegend

Has the final say.

This was changed some time ago iirc. You can bring as many of one type of bonus as you want, within reason. Maybe a new ruleset needs to be typed out to make it less confusing

Of course. I remember I brought 3 GMK frags and got 3 bonus tickets last time, so got confused when I saw the rule just now.

No we retired that rule years ago. Mostly because it was confusing and difficult to implement. And by definition, if something is bonus/ultra then we want more of it.

I was looking forward to the event this Sunday. Due to post procedure nerve pain, I unfortunately won't be able to make it. Wishing you guys an awesome event.

Gmk was an ultra and that's why you got 3 tickets.

If you need someone to help push you around the frag tables in a wheelchair we can add a volunteer spot for that.
Joking, mostly. Best of luck with a speedy recovery.
