    Let's play More Button Game FAQs!

    Q. I heard about some secret button project that would be for...
    HUSH! That is not to be spoken of here. See BigRed at the start of PAX (he'll be near/in the BYOC area) and he'll take care of you. Bring your buttons. This message will self destruct.

    Yes, see the PC Security table at the BYOC for this, but wait until BYOC checkin is done. I owe BigRed my soul for the use of his (minions) enforcers, but I'd rather not trouble them TOO much

    Would anyone be willing to fix this up for me? I spent an hour failing to make a nice font for "PA VENT CREW." Would someone delete the old one and put something nice looking there? It should be sized correctly to the template already, and remember there's an outer circle you can't write on. Ha, you can't tell it's a circle because of the transparency :p

    OK...this game looks like too much fun to pass up. I don't post often on the forums, but I've at least been a member for a little while. Hope it's OK to participate.

    Especially since I already ordered my buttons! (better late then never :)

    Ah, crap. I just realized that I ordered them with what's soon going to be my old address. I have forwarding set up though... would they forward a package like that do you think?

    Anyways, here's the button image, with the suggested "BioWare Minion" add-on. =)

    Nice VT!

    Also, you could probably just e-mail PureButtons and let them know of the address change. I think they would have no trouble sending them to the right place :)

    Why do we need 100 at this point? I have the money, but I don't want to be left with a crap-ton of TrainwreckX pins at the end. I'm about to order right now, but I want to hear a case for getting 100. I can't see me trading more than 50...

    52 people that have buttons in their possession and 49 people that have designs and that are currently
    waiting to get theirs = 101 people with more than 101 different buttons.

    I am fine with having only 62 buttons.

    I think the line above your avatar should read "Robot is surprised" because of those big orange eyes.

    i dont know where ill store them after PAX. I think I'm going going to order 50 avatar buttons. I was going to do several bonus buttons, but I don't think I'm going to do any now.

    Edit: First pass design, what do you guys think? Opinions please.

    I don't think mine is showing up for whatever reason. Trying again. I'd like feedback guys. Note that this version is lower rez than the final, so it's a little mushy.

    I didn't notice he was sad until i saw the big picture. as for why to get more than 50, there are about 100 people that have spoken up about their buttons and i'm sure there are a few that havent. it may seem like you might not trade em alol, but you might end up running out. also we are meeting after pax so you can trade with anyone you missed, meaning you have the oportunity to get rid of them all.

    Well, I've been reading the forums for a bit, but never posted or made an account, but I really liked this idea so I hope you'll be fine with me doing this too, since I went ahead and ordered some buttons of my own. I just felt like going with something somewhat simplistic for my button.

    Well he's sad cause neither the Autobots or Decepticons like him cause he just kills everything. Fallen has no friends.

    Looks good.



    Edit: Also, I only ended up ordering 50 badges. My thinking is that just over 50 people are invested. I only plan to keep one of mine. Over the course of the show, and even at the hotel meetup, I suspect that there will be at LEAST 5 people I miss, if not more. Also, I feel like I can live without a few more buttons :)

    You realize that most, if not all, of the people in the "Have design, buttons are in the future" section have ordered and are just waiting for buttons right? You do NOT get into invested just for ordering. You get into invested by posting pics of your actual buttons.

    Just clearing up that possible misconception :P

    The list isn't up to date either. I posted my actual buttons a while back and they still haven't shown up in the OP. I've also ordered another 100 of an other design for more button goodness. I think you'll run out a lot faster than you realize.

    In the spirit of spiritness (and the fact that I have two weeks off), the deadline for submitting your button info to the google docs sheet is extended until the end of Sunday (8/10). However, if you didn't order your buttons by today, you risk not getting them in time for PAX, which is the other reason for today's deadline, to make sure everybody who orders actually gets their buttons before they leave for Seattle.
