BREAK FOR CONTROL!
OK, this is how I interpreted last nights trades and what the status reflects (missing post #’s are just comments that do not affect the swapping) - everyone can learn something from this:
Post #1796 (8:34) - reesepoultry rescinds her claim and reposts srpaint’s offer
Post #1797(8:40) - crazypetlady “mine”d srpaint’s offer
Post # 1798(8:44) - Daloorashens “mined” crazypetlady’s offer
Post #1799(8:46) - crazypetlady “mine”d Daloorahens’s offer
Post #1800(8:46) - mzstre “mine”d crazypetlady’s offer (post #1799) I am guessing that mzstre was actually trying to claim CPL’s (8:40) offer, but was too late and got lucky that CPL had “mine”d Daloorahens offer before hers could post, but it worked.
Post# 1801(8:46) - Phage tried to mine CPL’s offer (post #1799), but was too late.
Post #1802(8:46) - CPL posts what her offer for the post #1799 is, as post #1799 simply says “mine”. I don’t see this post as claiming an offer, but restating the “mine” for Daloorahens’s offer and putting up what she is offering.
Posts #1799 - #1803 were all recorded at 8:46PM.
Post #1804(8:48) - Overoberyl “Mine”s an offer from CPL , but that offer had already been taken by mzstre
Post #1806(8:49) - CPL “mine”s mzstre’s offer
Post #1808(8:51) - Phage “mine”s CPL’s offer
Post # 1809(8:53) - mzstre asks CPL if the last “mine” (post #1806(8:49)) was on her offer.
Post #1810(8:54) - CPL replies “yes”
Post #1811(8:55) - CPL confirms that Phage claimed her #1808 offer
Post #1812(8:55) - CPL “Mine”s Phage’s offer (only says “Mine on Phage)
Post #1814(8:57) - CPL reposts her claim for Phage’s offer now showing eggs offered.
Post #1815(8:57) - Overoberyl “Mine”d CPL’s offer
Post #1816(8:58) - Phage “mine”s CPL’s offer but is too late.
For all of CPL’s posts when she is claiming something, the “mine” is a new post. In post#1802 and #1814, the mine is part of the pasted egg offer list and therefore does not represent a new claim.
If CPL would like to say that post #1802 was a lucky “mine” of mzstre’s offer, and then Overoberyl claimed that offer, to which CPL claimed that with post #1806, that is fine with me, but it will put her at 8 claims for the week.
I can see how this can be interpreted both ways.
So, in the future, after the frenzy dies down, please go back and clarify whose offer you are “mine”ing (a post # would be VERY helpful) and edit any posts that were too late to remove the word "mine". Otherwise, I’m going to start charging everyone a swap every time they post the word “Mine”, repost or not!
