I'll participate.

You could get ones from downtown detroit if you'll be there at all.
Would you like to get on le list?
Sure, why not. I don't know if I'll be in Detroit anytime soon, nor would I want to try exploring for a postcard. I'd probably have to go to the Motor City Casino or something.
I'll see what I can do.
This seems like fun! I'm in!
I'm in just to get mail. :D
I hope none of you are rapists
Nope, just axe murderers.
I just realized this could get confusing. I say we put a sign-up date deadline and then after that day send a massive PM within the group and all put our addresses in that.
sure
I think I am in. Just one little warning: It's quite expensive to send postcards to europe :/.
^Within the U.S., the postcard should cost 29c, to Canada it's 80c, to everywhere else it's 98c. It's not so bad ;D
It looks like I'll sign up, but I'll do it last minute. Lol.
You gonna send to Sweden? Neva ::)
I'll just skip getting presents for everyone else! XD
If I'm expected to spend a minimum of $20 per gift per friend IRL, postage suddenly doesn't sound so expensive, does it?
Lol, look at ruto's name on the 1st post.
Unintentional, but Ill allow it.
EDIT: I'm going out to buy postcards tomorrow (Ill buy more than those on the list) -- plus begin Christmas present shopping!
when/how will i get to know the adresses?
Count me in. :D
Quote from: dahans on November 20, 2011, 10:22:36 AMwhen/how will i get to know the adresses?
I will PM them out after the deadline
I'm up for this. I have postcards I'll never use but like the art on them anyways; I can part with them.
So what's the deadline?
Guess I'll have to.
Send you guys some Finnish culture.

Skinner: Finland! Let's see that native dance.

Sorry I couldn't help it xD
Why aren't I on the list? :(

Well are you going to be sending postcards.
We can send them to you as a separate thing. But I feel it should be a Give One, Get One... especially outside our country (cause it gets expensive)

Of course I'll be sending postcards! Otherwise I wouldn't of signed up! Besides it wouldn't be fair if I got postcards and somone else didn't get it from me
Quote from: Clanker37 on November 17, 2011, 11:48:06 PMI'm in just to get mail. :D

Your post was kind of misleading.
Quote from: ETFROXX on November 22, 2011, 05:35:47 PMThe bold helped.
Sorry, it was bold in the actual post.
If you guys want to PM me your addresses so I can compile them for the big PM.
Please use the proper address format for your country
e.g. USA
Sam Starbucks
1120 Pike Street
Seattle, WA 98012
Canada
Stephen Harper
230 Boulevard de Maisonnevue Ouest
Montreal, QC G9Q 9K2
Europe
Wolfgang Mozart
Getriedestrasse 13
02192 Salzburg
Austria
^The number goes before the city, actually XD
right. i forgot.
Quote from: DrP on November 23, 2011, 10:02:40 AMYour post was kind of misleading.
Oops..
Sorry about that
Should probably call the current owner of my next apartment to figure out when I'm moving. And what my address is when these cards start flowing in.
I guess I'll sign up. I doubt I can find any postcards here though... But maybe I'll be lucky.
Signups are over.
I Still need addresses PM'd to me by:
Olimar
Dude
Clanker
Ruto
MassiveMayhem
Wry
JaMaHa
Ill send PMs out to everyone, too. (JaMaHa is exempt until he can get an actual address)
Also please use your full name. If you don't want your first name used, use your last name with your NSM name (so at least the postcard can go somewhere)
I'll be using my real name, but for example purposes you can use "DrP Kontrimas" or "ETF Kitt", etc... (except Roz, you can't really escape this one, huh?)
I thought you had my address xD
D: I meant to sign up yesterday, totally slipped my mind.
Oh well, maybe next year.
Quote from: Ruto on November 27, 2011, 12:18:50 AMI thought you had my address xD
I... lost it.
I thought I put it in my phonebook, but I guess it didnt go in there when I was ins Canada
Please don't kill me!
I would like to join this, but I won't have an address of my new place in Oregon for a while. (I move there December 9th)
Quote from: DrP on November 17, 2011, 02:04:10 PMSIGNUPS WILL END NOVEMBER 26th.
''
Sorry...
By that time I will be out of the area I will be sending postcards from, so... you're out of luck with me, but if you talk to others, they might be happy to send another
I see.
Don't worry Winter! You'll get a postcard and money from me! XD
Oo that's true.
Quote from: fingerz on November 27, 2011, 12:49:06 PMDon't worry Winter! You'll get a postcard and money from me! XD
What's this about money?!?
I want money.And winter, if you want a postcard from Orange County, I could try and find one... or just use one of my other ones I have found over the years.
Quote from: DrP on November 27, 2011, 01:03:38 PMWhat's this about money?!?
I want money.
I owe Winter money from a game he won. :D
ahh. i see
Yeah! You guys all get postcards from Suburban Houston -.-

If you'd like to, I'd love that! Still don;t have a permanent address :P
I'll send it to the address you originally sent me a while back. :D
No don't. Those people steal my mail.
They also rip it up, or write nasty messages on the envelope and return it to the sender.
Not the best idea, just wait :)
Found a place where they sell postcards. I just need to buy them now. Aww yeaaah!
I'm gonna get you guys some typical Australian postcards, so just you wait for them in the mail. :P
Let's see... I've written 2 postcards... wrote addresses and put stamps on all of them... I may get some done tonight if I play Civ V
Tomorrow I'm gonna try to do all of my postcards. .....probably won't tho. :P
I just sent them all!
Getting them on the weekend. I'll send them within the next couple of weeks. :)
I'll get mine tomorrow. It'll take a while to think of what to write though...
Just got the first one o:
I'll get a scan of it up tomorrow.
Got the postcard Drp! Cool c: Still working on getting some for you guys.
^What he said
Just got the postcard from DrP! Now I has something to base mine off :P
I'm going to try to send the rest of the cards by Monday...since the rest of you are in the United States, you should get them before Christmas anyway.
Oh shit... time to hurry to the post office xD
Just got the one from Olimar. I'll get some this weekend I promise guys! D:
Also my mom is really starting to question me getting these in the mail. It just might drive he insane.
The joys of living alone.
...well, with 2 other people I don't know. But that's kinda the same.
Got Olimars. I'll probably go out and pick up some postcards, sure to be sending them by next week. meebe.

I would rather be living back at home with my own room than in this single room with my two roommates -.-;;
Well of course. But all of us have our own rooms. So yay.
Haha I wrote 12 letters in 2 days... my hand hurts xD
Ruto and DrP - received. Ruto has possibly the neatest handwriting I have ever read.
Also sorry for not sending the cards yet, try to do so tomorrow.
Haha, thanks! :D
Now let's see that native dance
I really need to stop being lazy.
After I send ETF's present, I PROMISE.
Wrote all the cards for you Americans, will send them tomorrow, which means I've gotten everybody. Except dahans. Hang your head in shame. >:(

It took a while too, I'm supposed to be studying -.-
Thanks DrP! :D:D:D
And no problem Ruto, there are still 11 days left! :D
Oh man, why didn't Concerto participate in this.
The "Sauna - Finland" card with the guy climbing out of an ice hole butt naked would've been perfect.
Got Ruto's today. You handwriting isn't terrible :) Mine is though :P
I'm going to send mine tomorrow, but there is still one more challenge left; talking to the post office person. If I don't talk for a month, I've been eaten. Also don't expect your cards before Christmas :/

You should tell him what he missed :D
Somehow I just stumbled upon this topic :P Cool idea.
Bought cards, wrote the addresses on them.
Now just to get creative.
Quote from: JaMaHa on December 12, 2011, 06:07:38 AMRuto and DrP - received. Ruto has possibly the neatest handwriting I have ever read.
Same here, and Olimar's. :)
Yeah, Ruto. Your handwriting is so much win.
Did anyone get one of my cards yet?^^
Ruto and DrP : I now have your cards.
^That's surprising...I thought it would reach Canada before Australia xD
Quote from: dahans on December 15, 2011, 03:05:13 PMDid anyone get one of my cards yet?^^
Yah, thanks for telling me you have a gun...:P (https://www.ninsheetmusic.org/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cute-factor.com%2Fimages%2Fsmilies%2Fyoyocici%2FJFBQ00218070525A.gif&hash=2df2198ea30ac9b6cec14d7874246d3221f52396)

I got Olimar's and Ruto's. Ruto yours made my day. <3
:D Thanks! It got there pretty quickly then!
Im out of town till tomorrow-I'll post then if some came in while I was gone.
i got olimars and drps cards. Thanks a lot!
I got ruto's and dahan's! Thanks guys!
Received Olimar's and Ruto's. Dunno when you guys will receive my postcards, apparently something happened at my post office and I don't even know if they sent them out yet -___-
It's all right, if you write "Happy New Year" on it, it wouldn't be out of date until mid-January.
I has DrP's, Ruto's, Olimar's and dahans'. Has anyone got mine yet? They said 8 - 10 working days so you should get them by the end of the week or after Christmas, except fingerz should have got his already.
I just have Olimar's, Ruto's and DrP's... I have sent out 12 cards and basically all of you should have got it already O.o.
I got mine! Admittedly I haven't been able to send out mine yet, sorry. :<
Just recieved postcards from fingerz ans clanker! Thanks guys!
Got Clanker's! I just realized I actually have money to go buy the postcards now. ^_^ Probably going to do that soon!
Yup, I also got Clankers' today...XD
For all of y'all sending postcards soon, I'll PM you my address, since I wont be at home in a few days!!!
Can't wait for the postcard thread of 2012...
then I can be a part of things :'( :'( :'( :'(
You has to give me your address so I can send you a card! :D
Glad mine got to you guys at least. I also got fingerz which reminds me
FINGERZ! DON'T.CALL.ME.SAM
EVER!!!!
I went everywhere in town today, no postcards anywhere. Not even at the post office. |:<
So mine will be sent out super late when I get my hands on some. Sorry about this.

Apparently I got Fingerzs' card a while ago. My mom just forgot to give it to me. >_>
Hahaha! I'm guessing after Christmas though... XD
Got JaMaHa's postcard! It said "Finns don't dance unless drunk"
...I feel like I've been cheated out of seeing a native dance :'(
Lol, I just got mine from Jamaha too.
