Wake up the World Coins Forum! (aka "I can't stop giving stuff away")

Good luck all in the drawing!!!

Just hoping I posted my entries in time.

I read the rules as multiple threads would generate multiple entries (up to three) if the were each in an individual post...not wrong to put more in a single post, it just might not generate as many entries for the random number generator. Not disqualifying, perhaps just not maximizing entry chances.

Of course the OP of this thread gets to decide if he wants to allow extra chances like he did for the OP of the most excellent and entertaining counting backward thread. He made a post which creates an entry for the random number generator, which is why three separate posts would improve the odds of winning.

Or, as a wise person once taught me: "Rules are just guidelines put there to make one think" or "don't let a bad rule stand between you and doing the right thing" or "don't be a sheep" and "Rules change in changing circumstances".

Notice I said 'rules' and not 'laws' . Of course, none of this is protection against consequences. Balance the rule vs. the consequence of not following the rule (ie banning, fines, losing a contest or race, or being ostracized etc).

And, a gentle reminder of the rules is almost always appropriate . Unless you are an admin/moderator/referee/judge/OP, then the gentle part can be a little less gentle.

But I digress (and I didn't even bring up the concept of justice).

PS: LordM, in case you missed it in my earlier post I disqualified myself. If the random number generator insists on using my post number anyway and it were to win, have a generator-off between Pragmatic ,MasterSamurai and any YNs who might be posting on this contest .

 

Not interested in the giveaway but I will address the non-existent World Coin Forum issue. I guess with US coins you might have categories for different areas. But with world coins everything is just grouped together: recent scrap metal, which are not even true circulating coins, with older or rare coins. With Roman coins there is pretty much a minimum amount: often in the $15 range, although there are some ancients which cost more.

With world coins a lot of the posts are just about nclt's or even pocket change like a 2017 Canadian nickel found at the bank. Thus I think you need some sort of division of the categories.

 

World coins actually brought me back into collecting. I started collecting when I was very young and pretty much stopped when I went to college. I went to London last year with my wife and we both liked how the coins together formed a shield. It was kind of a little puzzle where we collected all of the pieces. Now I'm all in again. I still mostly collect US coins but I have a lot of interesting world coins. Mostly worthless clad change but still interesting. I'd probably be more active posting but I have a cute needy 4 month old who keeps me busy.

Its nice to see people doing contests and sharing some interesting coins and stories.

 

Do your job first, or it could quickly turn into a "last resort" hotel.

 

Sounds like an awesome job actually. Being left to do it properly as you see fit. With trust and no micromanaging from afar (by someone who doesn't know what is going on 'in the trenches') and is smart enough to let the guy doing the job handle it.

 

When I was in charge of night shift I had one employee that seemed to be responsible for most of the problems that occurred. Though I never actually met him/her the other employees knew the person well. A rather unusual name "Not Me" almost always was responsible for the problems and mistakes.

 

@lordmarcovan am I in yet?

 

When exactly are the wee hours?

 

My wife worked as night auditor for years. She loved it except for when the bars closed some of the guests can get a little out of hand. Most of my family works in the hotel industry.

 

Its when you wake of in the middle of the night and need to go wee.
