Ride Over - Please Delete!! The Tortoise and the Hare Non-Insert Potluck Race --Hare is in the lead... No Napping...

[cspigner28]

I enjoy racing simple style trains, so I was trying to think of 2 rivals, and for some reason the story The Tortoise and the Hare pops into mind.

The Basics
There will be 2 teams, the tortoise, and the hare. I will start both teams off by sending out a Non-Insert Potluck to the first team member. They will then send to the 2nd, and so on. There will be 10 riders + myself, so 5 people on each team. Once you receive the envie, take out the coupons you can use, and the coupons that are soon to expire (2 weeks) add some to it to make up for the ones you took out, then send it to the next person on the list. Be sure to post once you receive, and once you send the train back out. I can't give a time line on how long this train will run, depends on mailing times etc, be prepared for a long ride just in case.

The Winning Team
The winning team will get a non-insert potluck from the losing team. Match-ups will be posted once both envies have made it back to me.

Requirements
*As always, you must have a feedback score of 5+ to ride any train
*You are only allowed to ride 5 trains at a time
*You must post when you receive, and when you send out
*You must be able to refill the envie with non-inserts, expiring 2 weeks from the date once you receive it.
*Envie must have at least 30 Non-inserts at all times

To Sign Up
*Post which team you would like to be on Tortoise, or Hare (there are 5 spots for each, so they come on a first come first served basis)
&
*PM me your Name, & Addy (no wishlist required since this is a potluck)

Here's How it's going to work, I will be sending off both envies tomorrow morning to the first person on each team. Once they receive the envie, they will take out what they can use, and any that are close to exp. and then send it to the next person on their team. This will go on until I receive both envies back. The winning team (the one that reaches me first) will get a non insert potluck from the other team. I will post match-ups for that once I have received both teams envies.

Please remember, the winning envie should be a non-insert potluck
Match-Ups will start off green, turn brown once sent off, and then black once received

Match-Ups
