Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

PAX Badges Fun Time Thread

WingedillidanWingedillidan Registered User regular
Post your excitement and happiness about the fact that your badge has arrived! They said they're in the mail and it's only a matter of a few business days until they arrive. Post your nerdy pictures with your badges, or your disappointment of having to wait longer because you live in a place far far away.

My thoughts: "IT'S HEREZORZ!"

    I'm waiting for mine. Day 4. If they had feet and started walking 4 days ago I'd have them now. (I live 6 hours from seattle).

    Mine wasn't in the mail today. Guess I shouldn't be surprised, being halfway across the country and all.

    I'm 30 minutes south of Seattle and still haven't received mine, so hopefully that puts things in perspective. Keep checking my mail like a kid at Xmas though, waiting for them to show up!!!!

    I know how you feel. I'm 30 minutes north of seattle. Only bad thing is that the mail here is random, it is sorta like a game show, guessing what time it will arrive.

    I was driving some out-of-towner friends around, and I kept complaining about being blinded. They responded with "You see, where we come from, people tend to wear Sunglasses." I retorted with a simple "You people tend to have sun."

    I'm 30 minutes east of Seattle and keep watching. Our post office out here sucks in a major way, hoping they decide to work a little once it cools off a bit and maybe we'll get our mail!

    Uh guys, in case you forgot, badges are mailed out from the east coast now (where Reed HQ is), so people on the east end of the country should be getting these first.

    Well that's just total bullshit. Being is the Pacific Northwest is supposed to come with benefits. Mainly I get to post pictures of my badge before you.

    I was wondering about that. Considering I live a 5 min walk from the Convention Center (therefore about a 30 min walk to PA HQ), I was worried my packet got lost in the mail.

    Oh, the agony of anticipation!

    Didn't get the tickets today, but I did get the new PC Gamer, with a massive write up of SWOR ships, so I have to look forward to for tonight. Tomorrow is another day.

    I hope that the person I bought my ticket from got her badge, and will be mailing it soon! I cleared out my mailbox for the occasion :P

    I'm not waiting for my badge in the mail but just thought I'd mention that we've had no mail this week because our mail carrier "gets sick" every time the temps go past about 25°C. :P

  • imp22bimp22b Registered User
    I'm afraid my badge might have been returned to sender. For the past few weeks I hadn't been receiving my mail because my mailman thought I had moved and has been returning my mail to sender. I finally started getting my mail again today but it sounds like my badge might have been returned Monday. Anyone else from Indiana gotten their badge yet?

  • ImsoradImsorad Registered User regular
    Still waiting too. I live a wopping one hour from Seattle and still no badge. :(

  • Moe FwackyMoe Fwacky Super Moderator, Moderator mod
    Nothing in my mail except an ad for the Senior Final Expense Plan.

    Somehow word got out that I'm 55 years old, even though I'm not even close to that.

    I got a catalog for Macy's. No badge for me today. Stupid catalog. :-/

    Aww, page two and still no fun time badge pictures. We know people are getting them (twitter), but it would calm my obsession to see pictures of others getting them. :P

    Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.

    Someone posted a bunch in the Mugshot's for Moe thread. Enough to build a house of cards even. And he's in Sammamish. Makes me pensive.

    Ya, I saw that. It makes me feel a little uneasy to see so many badges in one place. It's like he is intercepting all the badges and keeping them for himself D: *. I will feel better when I SEE others getting their badges.


    *I know he is the leader of some group and he simply bought all his group members badges :P

    Just a local newspaper and an advertisement today. I will only be getting a Friday and Saturday. But I think I got a hold of a 3 day. I will be selling off my Friday and Saturday then.
