Quote from: SeymorOnion on 05/29/2012, 06:26 AMOh, and I'm nearly ready to add a Donations Page to my website.
I need to work out a few more details first, but it shouldn't take too long.  :wink:
I see the donate hyperlink on the main body of your website.  I looked quickly for the donation button, but I didn't see it right away.  I was looking for the standard PayPal Donate button.  The link you added at the bottom of the green menu doesn't really jump out at you.  Might I suggest changing it to the standard button and putting it somewhere more prominent?

BTW, I read your blurb on the donate page.  I can tell you are a very detailed oriented person.  Maybe even overly detailed.  I'll send you a donation later today.  Expect to see it.  Glad I could contribute towards production even if it was just the idea of adding the button.  :)

Oh, and I'm going to forward your logo contest to a bunch of graphic people I know.  I think they may be interested in giving the logo a whirl.

[EDIT] Here is the post I made discussing your logo contest.  Logo Contest! SeymourOnion.com

Mods, I'm not sure what the rules are on posting links here, please excuse my ignorance and take appropriate action if this is breaking any rules.

Quote from: soop on 05/29/2012, 07:43 AMWell, I don't need any sleeves right now, but it's a shame the orders are slowing.  I know it's not much, but have $10.  I think what you're doing is admirable in the extreme, and I can't wait to see what you get up to in the future!

And remember to spend some of it on beer!  It's an important part of the design process.
Will do, and many thanks!  :mrgreen:
All work, and no play, makes my head explode...

Yup, I try to be as detailed as humanly possible, with work/business related things.
When I'm not workin, I'm a pretty laid back dude.  8)

Thanks for posting about it over on trophiesonpsn.com.
I extended the deadline shortly after reading your post here, about it, so anyone there that might be interested wouldn't get scared off.
Also, I have to appear for Jury Duty on Monday, June 4'th, and that's cutting things a little too close for me.
My luck, I'll actually get picked, possibly even sequestered, and couldn't award the winner in a timely manner. O_o

I'm gonna take a closer look @ my website, and try and make the Donate-Linkage more prominent.
I'll start by separating it out from the Green Menu, and making several button designs for it.
I'm not much of a Graphics Artist, but Buttons, I can do.  :P

FiftyQuid

If you want to get out of jury duty just twitch every now and again, or shoo at a fly that doesn't exist.

Thanks for extending the deadline.  I hope you get a few additional entries out of my post.  That reminds me, I need to make a donation to your cause.

I have bought to lots of the leaves in packs of 15 and have to say they are perfect and will be ordering more.
I always wanted a thing called tuna sashemie

SeymorOnion

I wasn't picked.
It's kind of too bad, as they said the trial would only take a few days, and be held in the evenings.
That would have given me more than enough time, in the mornings, to drop off international orders @ the post office (they make ya do that in person).

They released us fairly late in the evening yesterday, after the post office was closed.
I just got up, and will be filling all of the Weekend (and Yesterday's) orders this morning.  :wink:

Those suggestions of yours, to get outta Jury Duty, were eerily prophetic.
There were a couple of fruit flies bugging me, and I did swat at a few, and when they happened to land on my skin, I twitched. @_@
Even stranger is that I didn't see any of the other potential jurors pay any attention to them.
It's like only I saw them! Near the end, though, the Judge did apologize to us for having to spend so much time at the courthouse today, and for putting up with the fruit flies, so as it turns out, I wasn't really loosing my mind after all...  :mrgreen:

Thanks for the donations, guys! I've made plans to go out next weekend (June 9'th), and it'll be a perfect opportunity to take the photos.

Great stuff.  Is it true that citizens of the U.S.A. are not compensated for jury duty?

I'm looking forward to the photos.  Will you be posting them here?

[EDIT] I received my sleeves today.  Very fast shipping.  Thanks again Seymor!

O we get compensated, I for one enjoy jury duty when its an interesting case. The few times I had to go they lasted a week and the courts paid for everything even got to put a man in prison for forging federal docs. It was cool cause we got to examine each counterfit document. But back on subject, You do get paid and (my company anyway) If you give them the jury check they will give you your normal 40 hr week paycheck.

I'll send them via e-mail, but you can post them here if ya want.

Some companies do pay employees their regular salary when they serve Jury Duty, but some do not.
It depends on the State and County you live in, and whether or not one is a sole proprietor of their business.
Those who don't qualify, or don't work for the man, but is the man themself, will have to settle for only 5 to 100 dollars a day.

In Texas, in my County, they pay about ten bucks for the first day.
Starting on the Second Day, the pay is increased to about 40 dollars per day.
They mail you a check, about four weeks after your Jury Duty ends.

Sounds like a big kick in the teeth...  "Here's your cheque for $120.  Thanks for serving your country"

I don't think it's any better in Canada.  I honestly don't know.  I don't know anyone that has every been called for jury duty.

Hint 1: It's two sentences are partially obscured by my Green Shirt.
Hint 2: The blurred-out company logo on my hat, has nothing to do with it.

The image you sent me is 1" x 1".  There's no way my aging eyes will ever decipher your t-shirt.  :)

I'll get one when I have at least 25 games, my hu-card collection is shower.

Bardoly

These look great!
I'll definitely have to order some in the near future.

DrBread

Yay now i can protect my hueys

ooPo

Wow! These look great! I don't know how I missed this thread but I've been suffering with yellowed sleeves for way too long. I'll put an order in on the website later this week.

SeymorOnion

I'll be ready!
I still have tens of thousands of HuCard Sleeves in stock.  8)

Kaijuboy

Received my order in the other day.  Fantastic stuff!  Thanks! :D

hizaygizirlz

I ordered some sleeves and other items earlier in the week.

The sleeves are well done.  Chris was very polite and helpful throughout the whole process, and his shipping was fast and packaged really well.

I plan on ordering from him again in the future, but just wanted to say seven thumbs up support this guy he is doing good things.
Gypsies did it.

 Got no luv for the krackers only slugs for the krackers!

Thanks, you guys.  :wink:

I'll send out tpivette's GC games, and Sleeves, first thing, Monday morning.

MotherGunner

Glad to see this page still going!  I saw the comment about this not being prominent enough so question for Mods and Chris to decide:

Can we either improve the first post of this thread to better organize the purchase flow (by providing a direct link to the sleeves page and add some of the photos from your site) AND sticky it, OR Chris creates a new thread with the same result and sticky it (thus locking this thread).  I am cool with whatever Chris and Mods are cool with.  Thanks!

Sorry to double post...

I finished early!
So, now I can put some quality time into creating a New Thread.  8)
I really should have done this sooner.  :-k
Anyway, as soon as I finish the New Thread, I'll either
edit this post and put a link to the new thread, or
if this thread has replies, I'll go ahead and make a new post with the linkage.

Either way, I'll still respond to any posts on this thread too, unless the admins lock it or something.

The OP can lock this thread once you have yours posted.  :)

Thanks, MotherGunner, for starting this thread for me last year, during the weird downtime of this website, and keeping up with the changes.  :wink:

Awesome!  Locking the thread now.  =)
