There will be a finalized checklist closer to the convention with the numbers people have but for now to be assigned one people are just asking.
I think right now we're just doing 3 digit numbers. Dave can be the final word on that. For now you've been assigned 311 though.
Just a suggestion - maybe set up a public google spreadsheet that lists all the people with their card numbers, have it so anyone can view it but only a few of you can edit it?

I suggested it to Dave but he has his reasons for the system that is in place.
I am pretty quick with assigning numbers and if I'm not near a PC then he is there to get my slack.

A checklist will be available for printing right before PAX. I prefer to have a few people distributing numbers to cut down on duplicates and give us a better idea of who is taking part.

Dave - with my suggestion, only you and Rdr would be able to actually input someone's name and attach it to a number. You could make the list itself public though, for viewing, so that anyone could look and see what numbers are free.

The potential issue is that someone would just make their card and pick a number without telling us. Dave is trying to keep an eye on all the cards being made within this thread so we can have proper checklists and such.

I posted the instructions yesterday and ordered my own cards. Make sure you're ordering a "Full Color Printing Orders" and "Postcard" and you should be able to specify the size.
Ah okay. I guess what me and Tweekinator were doing was thinking if you clicked "Full Color Printing" and went to Postcards that we'd see the size we wanted but this is what you see:
When in fact we need to follow your directions as they're specifically written and stop being dbags haha. I clicked Order and signed in then ya you can type in whatever dimensions.

I just wanted to chime in here to secure #429, which is what I had last year. I still have a butt-ton of cards left over as well so I'll just be handing those out. Call me cheap. :P

So I am a bit fail when it comes to photoshopping skills. Would anyone be willing to do my card for me in exchange for a drink and/or homemade cookies?

Sounds good. Although only Heleor has been having me help him. Still waiting on others to pm/email me.
My cards arrived today. They cost about $38 and I received them in one week from ordering. I will be posting pictures and updating the OP tonight. I ordered 100 and it looks like they sent me 200+, so you definitely only need to order 100 cards.
I am definitely in this year. Money was too tight last year, so I made sure to plan further ahead.
As for a number... I'm sure a lot of these are taken, but I'll just list some numbers, and just give me the first open one:
003,009,039,030,256,512,369,999... if those are all taken, ill come up with more lol

I will put in my order tomorrow. The directions are from last year and I think jakprints has modified the form since then.

619
808
Thanks
Even though I didn't have a card last year, would my number still have an R?
#619 is available and now belongs to you. The R is only for people who did cards last year and are revising them for 2011. So, you won't need the R.
Either way I'd like to reserve one of these numbers if they are available
9001
any number from 311 - 314

I think right now we're just doing 3 digit numbers. Dave can be the final word on that. For now you've been assigned 311 though.
We're trying to stick with three digit numbers for the time being. This is to make the checklist easier to get through.

(My picture is classified for now, so PM me if you'd like to help!)
Dave, any resolution to the problem with Jakprints? I don't see the cardstock size we need for the cards when trying to order on their site.
Still waiting for Dave to confirm his ordering instructions.
And wow, you asked the exact same question before me. Sorry, apparently reading is hard.

Thanks, Dave.
Do you want a different number than you used last year? Which was 42. Probably the best number after 13.
Ya we have CB marked down for 2011 at #256R
Thanks for the clarification!
Yes if I could get the same number as last year that would be awesome.
Got you down. Your number will be #42R for this year.
MANK
Don't blame you. But ya, #429 is still yours.
I would love to help you make your card. I'll gladly do it for nothing but it's hard to turn down cookies! Pm or email me [email protected].
You've been assigned #32!
I assigned you #33. I'd be happy to assist you with your card. Just pm/email me the required infos. [email protected]
Sounds good. Although only Heleor has been having me help him. Still waiting on others to pm/email me.
