okay guys and gals-- let's see if we can start a new game. surprise and satisfaction for all you tarotholics out there. first i'll need enough of you willing to play... pm me with the following info: 1. one to three decks you're willing to trade. 2. three decks you'd like 3. three decks you don't want 4. three decks you have 5. your mailing address here's how the game goes.... 1. submit to me your info for the data base. (i'll play around a see what kind of matchings i can make) when i have enough players, i'll pm everybody to say the game's afoot :cool: 2. in about a week, i'll pm you with an address and a deck name 3. mail off the deck to the address. 4. wait for your surprise deck to come in the mail if all goes well, we could continue on forever... the random-deck-of-the-month-club. anybody game?? LVX steve

Sure Ill give it a try, but I have to think on what I want to put on my list first :) :THP

jema	10 Jul 2002
a delightful idea! gotta write those lists down now.

good idea but as the hermit described in a previious tarot-holics post, i'm feeling rather like a dragon living in a cave sleeping and snoring flames and smoke, sitting on my treasures dreaming happy dreams of new decks coming in the mail! LOL gotta find what that dragonheart can let go of. i can let go of books but not many ppl are as interested in trading books.

Jewel	10 Jul 2002
Great idea, but I am way to impulsive to play. I have to join Truthsayer in the Cave here ... as a good taroholic parting with decks is extremely difficult. Another challenge is that there comes a time (often times more than once a week - the impulsiveness I referred to earlier) that we "have to have" a deck, thus our list changes too quickly for monthly trading to keep up ... granted if we got a duplicate we could probably trade it, but that is not the purpose and I would be dissapointed if it were a deck I already had. Guess it is not a game for all taroholics *LOL* ... the sickest of us cannot play *ROFLMAO*

Liliana	10 Jul 2002
Well the truly sickest could go find a deck at a moderate cost (used online or whatever) and use it to play :) :THP

(possibly b/c i resemble it?) to be politically correct, i prefer the phrase "tarot challenged". i wouldn't want to be discriminated against due to my impediment. ;)

cherrywind	11 Jul 2002
That's a great idea!!! I'm in the same boat as Lunalafey and Tarotlady though, I don't have a deck to trade :(.

I do not believe we are challenged ... other than to find a new deck that is (preferable OOP *ROFLAMO*)

OMG but i think i have lost the rest of my mind!!!!!!!!

It will be sort of difficult for us tarot-holics who buy and receive new decks all the time, but I'm definitely in!! I think it'd be lots-o-fun!! Ok off to figure out which decks to trade and which ones I wnat the most! LOL

Liliana	12 Jul 2002
Heheh my problem is thinking of something on my wishlist that isnt expensive, rare, oop, or only available from the artist lol I have no control when it comes to readily available ones I want, oh i thought of one lol :) :THP

You are so brave ... perhaps even my hero *ROFLMAO*

truthsayer	12 Jul 2002
just to keep the record clear--to date i have traded 5 decks that i decided i wanted back and got back. now the oop, expensive, only available from the artist or rare that's where the dragon side comes out to guard her treasures!!!!!!!! i do have some principles, you know!!!!! :D LOL but as i always say--of all the things i've lost, i miss my mind the most...

the hermit	13 Jul 2002
he creeps along the passage... then out into the chamber... my, he looks even meaner up close... slowly, slowly, no noise... closer... closer... FREEZE! did he just see an eye lid twitch? no... breath slowly eases out... now closer... slowly, slowly, reach out... don't make a sound... there, he's got one... slowly pull it from the pile... what? OH NO! RRRRRROOOOOAAAAARRRRRRR! FIRE! FLAMES! EEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Welllll... I guess he doesn't want to trade THAT one after all!

fairyhedgehog	13 Jul 2002
This is /such/ a cool idea :) Mind you, postage will be pretty dear to USA and Australia. Oh, what the heck :) OK, now have I got any decks I can bear to part with? I've got 10 and I only need one ... But how can I bear to part with /any/ of them? I wonder if I can pick one up cheap on ebay to trade .... OMG, I really am a tarotholic :D

kelli	13 Jul 2002
Great idea... however, i only have 2 decks and they are both the same.. lol good luck with it! Kelly
