    Now Boarding for a simple style train with a twist!!


    Announcing the King and Queen's

    "Masquerade Ball"




    Newbies with a itrader of at least 5 with plenty of QUALITY coupons to share are welcome! please read all requirements. I know the list is long, but its to help ensure you know what is expected so all passengers have a great ride!!


    Please make sure to read ALL info and requirements before joining.




    You can only ride up to 3 trains at a time at HCW. If you are already on 3, you can catch the next one!




    After reading this WHOLE thread, post below to ride and then PM me with your full name and addy!!




    How it works:


    This will be a 2 part train.




    The first part you will mail out 5 envies to 5 different riders and 5 different riders will mail to you. In each envie there will be a minimum of 25 coupons. So you will have to mail at least 125 coupons and you will receive at least 125 coupons!!




    The catch is you will not know who is mailing to you!!




    Once you receive all 5 of your envies I will ask you to rate the envie using a different number for each envie. Each of the envies you receive will be marked with a popular masquerade costume (King, Queen, Jester, Knight, Prince) which will be written on by the sender. The ratings will be either a 10, 9.5, 9, 8.5, 8. You can only use a number once and only these numbers!! So this is what it will potentially look like.




    my Queen envie--9
    my King envie--8.5
    my Jester envie--10
    my Prince envie--8
    my Knight envie--9.5




    You will only rate once you received all 5 of your envies to be fair in rating them. So once you receive all 5 you can rate them by which was the best out of the 5 (which you would give the 10) and then the second best etc...




    For this train there will be a lot of work on my part keeping track of all the trains etc so if you can not commit to posting as soon as you receive all 5 please do not jump on, wait for the next ride.




    OK now for part 2




    After every one has posted their 5 envies and rated them I will figure out the sender who has the highest rankings and they will be declared the winner(s)!!




    As winner each of the other riders will be sending one more envie with at least 25 coupons to the winner. I will be taking at least 20 riders (more is always possible) with me so that will be lots of envies to the winner(s)!! In case of a tie there will be a split of winning envies--still a good deal IMO;)




    OK with me so far!!




    The mail out will be November 10th. As stated above you will mail 5 envies with 25 q's in each envie. For your return address please write the costume you are sending and then your regular address (NO NAME)


    Example:
    King envie
    your return address


    or


    Jester envie
    your return address



    For those of you who are curious about Masquerade Balls!! Here is some interesting info:)

    Masquerade balls first became popular in the fifteenth century in Italy, especially Venice. Members of the upper class would dress up and wear elaborate masks and dance. The balls were elaborate public spectacles.


    The idea of masquerade balls was probably originally tied to the carnivale celebration, known as Mardi Gras in the United States, but the balls spread to other countries and other times of year.


    In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, masquerade balls spread through Europe and eventually the American colonies. Sometimes the balls were semi-public, while other times they were completely private, held in grand ballrooms built into homes of the day.


    Some argued that masquerades were immoral and showed the influence of foreign countries (which was frowned upon), but the tradition continued.





    The second mailing (winner envies) will be mailed out as soon as every one posts and I get the winner(s) announced. I will allow at least 4-5 days to get your winning envie ready.




    Each envie must have a minimum of 25 coupons following the guidelines below. Each of those coupons must have an expiration date of at least 2 weeks from the mail date. So for this train with the mail date of November 10th no coupons part of the 25 coupon minimum will expire before November 24th. If you want to include extras with shorter dates that is fine as long as it is over the 25.



    I will send out a rider list with the riders mailing info you will need to do your 5 envies only. I will also tell you which costume to write on your envie to get your rating from the receiver!!




    To Join:

    You must be able to mail 6 (5 for the first mail out and 1 for the winner) envies with at least 25 q's in each one.




    You must post when you mail (not to who you mailed to but only that you did in fact mail) and when you have received all 5 you must post and rate.




    You need a wish list posted to ride. If your list is very short and specific, other train riders will have a harder time matching your list. If there's something you don't need multi's of, note it.




    This train is potluck which means you may not get 25 coupons from your WL in each envie. Although please try to match wish lists.





    No baby, no pet, no meds, no oddball products that very few members use like depends unless you have an exact wl match. If someone says they can use cat food frees, do not include regular cat food, unless it is an extra.




    Limit of 1 of each coupon unless it is an exact match to a wish list. If you have and exact wish list match, then duplicates are encouraged!!! again, more than 1 of something is OK if its "extra"




    print ables are great to send if the member can use them.





    store specific coupons are only OK if they are on the WL.




    BTFE's Coke Codes, Pepsi Codes are all great to include if they are wish list items.




    Rebates and tmf forms are GREAT to include. Watch state restrictions.




    Feedback on this train will happen at the end. If you would like to leave feedback for your Masquerader please PM me once the train ride winner is announced and I will supply your match ups name so you can leave feedback.

    If for any reason, any of your envies are not received, you will be asked to re mail at the 2 week point. joining this train is your agreement to this rule.





    For this train I am asking that every one mail on time!! If for any reason you can not mail on the 10th please wait for the next train ride. Mailing early is fine. This train will require a lot of record keeping so please be kind to me;)




    I am looking forward to a fun and exciting ride!!



    Kristy

    Hi guys!!

    I see I have worded my PM a little bit confusing. You only put the costume you are sending as your name in the return addy.

    The person you are sending to will be the same as always, her name/st/twn zip etc...

    So it will look like this if you were sending to me

    Return address (yours)
    Queen/King/Jester/Prince or Knight
    your st
    your twn/state/zip

    To
    Kristy ...
    my st
    my twn/state/ zip


    I hope this helps and sorry for any confusion!!
