http://www.boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/26270
Note: Use of the request geeklist is optional. You can list games on Math Trade list even if they have not been requested.
Timeline:
Deadline to Add Games: 10pm EST on Fri Nov 23rd
Summary Posted: Fri Nov 23rd
Deadline to Submit Want Lists: 10 pm EST on Sunday Nov 25th.
Results posted: approx 11:30pm Sunday Nov 25th[/b]
To ensure fairness I will be posting my want lists to the discussion thread on the shortly after the summary is posted.
Want lists should be sent to Boomer in a single GeekMail, and use a subject line of "MATH TRADE WANT LIST". The Summary will use a combination of the item number and abbreviated name to label entries in the Summary, i.e. if entry 18 is Power Grid the Summary entry will look like:
0018-PGRID Power Grid
and the Want List submitted by the owner of Power Grid should look like
(Boomer) 0018-PGrid : 0371-Thurn 0425-Magic
Note: Each want list begins with your username in ( ) followed by your item-number followed by a colon. The username and colon are required.
If you have multiple items up for trade, you must submit one want list for each item, but you can combine them into a single Geekmail. When the results are announced, item winners should contact their current owners, but owners may feel free to contact the winners if they want.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Here is an example of the new format for want lists, including the duplicate protection feature.
(Boomer) %Vegas : 0009-VEGAS 0015-VEGAS 0022-VEGAS 0107-VEGAS
(Boomer) %ALEA : 0105-PUERT 0510-FIFTH 0322-PRINC
(Boomer) 0020-CARCD : %VEGAS %ALEA 0063-NEXUS 0099-NEXUS
(Boomer) 0033-METRO : %VEGAS 0063-NEXUS 0099-NEXUS 0102-PGRID
In the above example, notice the username at the begining of each want list, this should help reduce errors when the master want list file is created. The 2nd thing to note is the : after the item number, this is for readability and to help eliminate wordwrap errors.
The first line in the want lists is an example of duplicate protection. Lets say there are 4 copies of Vegas Showdown and I don't want to receive more than 1. If I put all 4 on each want list, I may get more than 1 copy. So, to protect against that, I create a "dummy item" in this case %Vegas. You can name the dummy item anything you wish as long as it begins with a %.
Since %Vegas is treated as one item, it can only receive one item.
I then put %Vegas on multiple want lists but I can only get 1 item from it, thus I can only get 1 copy of Vegas Showdown.
You can group any combination of items in a dummy item, they don't all need to be the same game.
The 2nd dummy item shown above, %ALEA is an example of putting different games in one dummy item.
For the 2 copies of Nexus Ops, I listed both of them in each of my want lists, in this case I may end up with 2 copies of Nexus Ops.
As you can see, the duplicate protection does not need to be used for all games, you can turn it on for the games you don't want duplicates and not use it for games that you'd be happy with duplicates.
Lastly note that uppercase/lowercase does not matter.
If you have questions, please ask.

Learn how to speak Japanese!
I took an intro to Japanese class a while back, and now it's your turn to learn a little Japanese. You get:
Japanese for Fun- A small handbook of simple, short phrases and practical advice.
Easy Japanese- A longer book designed to help teach basic Japanese.
A set of really nice, high-quality Japanese flashcards. These are in fantastic condition, and each features a letter from the Japanese alphabet, and a word that uses that letter.
A Japanese manga. My sensei picked this out for me in a Japanese bookstore because she thought it might be good practice for my reading. I remember it's about a poor girl who goes to a fancy private school, but finds that the people there are awful (some rivals try to run her over).
I'll pay shipping anywhere up to $10.

I'm expecting at least five trades this time.
Comeon!
You know you want merchant of venus!
You know it. Perhaps you'd take that used copy of Bang! that someone just posted...?
no, but there is ONE thing on the list that might go on my want list if my wife approves.
I was really hoping for descent with expansions.
Nacht der magier would be awesome too (though I think I'd want a small sweetener with that one).

I'm surprised no one dumped tide of iron or zooloretto on here...
It would be a crying shame if someone "dumped" those here. :-)
I suspect that the HBs that have been added are from Tanga's last offering (since the most recent batch probably hasn't been shipped yet, and won't arrive at the traders for another week or two, at a minimum).
Milwaukee
Wisconsin
So to anyone reading who's interested in trading for HB, at least you won't have to wait a while for mine to be shipped.
