Okay, after much delay, procrastination, forgetfulness, real life insanity, and other such annoyances... I now proudly present the official launch of the Saberforum Stanley Project. (Pictures coming soon!
)
Here's how this is gonna work. The first post of this thread will serve as the official list and order of who Stanley will be visiting. I created the little guy, so I take the first couple photos with him, then mail him on to the next guy on the list. They then repeat that process, continuing until we eventually reach the end of the list and he gets mailed back to me for safe keeping until the next time we do this. The idea is that when you get the little guy, you snap a couple pics together with him, then mail him along to the next person. If you want to take him to a local landmark, that's great, if not, then anywhere you wish is fine. Just keep it all appropriate.
If you wish to take him to a convention or meet-up of some kind, that's great! The more the merrier! I only ask that you let me know so I can make note of it on the list. That way when he doesn't get mailed on for 2 or 3 weeks, we know why. On that note, if you wish to get him signed by someone famous you meet, that's fine too! Just remember, he'll be going around to many members of the forum, and since I created the guy I get to keep him, so if you DO get him signed... it's not a signature you'll be able to frame. Also, when you mail him along and take pictures with him, you can add souveniers and the like. You just have to make sure they won't tear him or the package you mail him in to shreds, and try to keep the size down. I can't ask all the members to pay $20 to mail him to the next guy because a generous member gave him his own RC Car. lol And if you should wish to alter any of his clothing, please do so by making a removable paper sleeve. IE, take a piece of paper, fold it in two, and cut out the shape of the new helmet, hoodie, boots, or whatever you want him to have. Then glue or tape that sleeve together, color it, and slide the finished item onto Stanley. That way he can always be returned to his original configuration or switched out from Rebel, to Imperial, to Clone, to Jedi, to Sith manners of dress. To cater to the preferences of the different members.
This brings me to what is, currently at least, the final bit of info you'll all need. How to get on the list! It's actually very simple, you just have to be able to take pics of yourself with Stanley, and then mail him to the next member on the list. To get on the list, send me a PM titled 'Saberforum Stanley' with your name and general location (country and state/province). I will then add you to the list, sorted by proximity. This way, we minimize costs for everyone, and we don't have to send him to Europe more than once or anything.
When you receive Stan in the mail, take your pictures, then post them to this thread. When you are done, find your name on the list and then PM the next person after you requesting their specific mailing information so you can pass him along. PLEASE, everyone make sure before you give out your info that the member PMing you has posted pics with Stan before you do so. I don't want anyone giving their info away to a troll by accident. And of course, NEVER post your exact info on the forum either. Trolls are evil.
I think that about covers it, so I'll stop typing now. lol I hope to see many, many, many pictures of Stan visiting plenty of interesting members and places soon! =/\=Moderator Manroon
NOTE: Those who have already had Stanley will have their names scored out. Please find the next closest person to you who has not had him yet and send him along to them.
