OK, vague hints abound there!

Save your TeaBucks. I am shooting to have this go live BEFORE December 25th if all goes well. Transactions will not have to be finalized quite so quickly due to the holiday, but you won't want to miss securing one of these!

May I suggest the 17th, it is a nice date that is BEFORE December 25th, and far enough into the future to give 3 days notice...

Since we celebrate Christmas the 24th in Sweden, and which country's customs "Christmas" he was referring to was not specified, the 24th should be the dead line, and not the 25th!

The 14th (today!) is the birthday of someone important who also loves Hagi. Why wait?

I am SO glad that I am not the only impatient Hagiphile here!

Well, unlike Hojo, I am not a god. I am just a country Hagiphile.

Seriously, this is an optimistic crap shoot to see if we can bring this together by mid next week. I do not rush the artisan nor Mago ... knowing the best work is not rushed and also Mago works best w/o pressure from me. It is a lesson in patience.

I am so incredibly anxious for this SO, soooo, if it is possible, I will make it so.

However, if I cannot bring it to fruition (live) by next Wednesday or Thursday (thus notify everyone by Sunday or Monday) I will do the right thing and shoot for right after Christmas. A lot of this is obviously out of my control ... by around 12,000 miles.

Well, the TeaCave is atop Fuji ... but I do have a HagiPad and can hop in the HagiCoptor right outside the door ...

Oh, and this one is EXTREMEly cool ...

Wow, I'm anxious to see just what kind of piece this is going to be. I have my hopes up that it will be a particular style of his that I've been admiring from afar for a while

Sounds great!

Out of curiosity, how are you going to guarantee that everybody's 6pm is the same....?

I think that the time when the official thread goes live is the "official 6 pm"

EDIT: Oh never mind, Chip said the official thread goes live 15 minutes prior.

I believe the time is official teachat time based on Eastern Standard time in the US.

right..oddly enough the Teacave is located in the eastern us timezone..

Well, I go into the TeaCave atop Fuji and keep delving deeper and deeper into the dwelling ... turns out the back door is in eastern PA.

I have to go by time received in my PM inbox. If it is time stamped 6 pm, it is good. So, ultimately, it is by TeaChat time which seems to be network time as well.

So, if your PM time stamp says 5:59 (or whatever time zone you are in), then resend at 6 pm Eastern to be safe.

Tick tock tick tock ...

This one will ... bury you in a "snow drift!!!"

Thursday rapidly approaches ...

Soooo ... as the Eiichi Commission is getting closer and closer to completion ... I am continuing the think ahead. I mentioned in another topic ...

This is moving forward, BUT ... it keeps getting more and more exciting ... and evolving ... and growing.
