Eric was mentioning that we might develop a new format with a time mechanic. We discussed more in skype and here seem to be the basic ideas: - each cell unlocks at a pre-set time (no need to notify or any of that jazz) - if picks haven't been taken before your cell unlocks, just pick what you...

Scapeshift Is there something here?

Hey, I could give you some spiel about how servers cost money and shit, but I'm just looking to liquidate some store-credit into cold-hard paypal funds. Anybody want to help? Here's what I'd offer: Selling credit for 90% of face value, in $25 increments. If you want to give more than 90% then...
