Snooper_1989 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 ... Another victim, it's a conspiracy I tell you! But when I look at all the other pictures it's not as clean a rip as them. It just came empty... ... BUT! I got a cool US Airmail stamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jillian Aversa Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Gosh, that really sucks. I wish we had thought of sending everything in those sealable manilla envelopes... (But those are expensive, and for a tiny little button?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerol Oplan Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 They do sell smaller ones, you could probably get a 50-pack for a couple of bucks (probably not much more than regular envelopes would've cost). Or CD-mailers, although those are a bit big and more expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snooper_1989 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 It's weird. It doesn't look like it was a sorting machines fault. It looks like someone did it on purpose. Though, it couldn't be that - mine got delivered to my super special sexy awesome PO box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Lux Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I got my button, but I suspect they did run these envelopes through some sort of flattening machine. Mine had indents and small punctures where the button was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerol Oplan Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Bit late now, but I just did some poking around the USPS website, and anything sent in a normal letter-size envelope shouldn't be more than 1/4" thick. http://pe.usps.com/text/dmm100/what.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dj_Vitality Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Man, Zircon wrote personalized messages on envelopes? well, MINE WAS FROM PIXIETRICKS! WHAT NOW!? lol. great job. My button now sits next to my "Pyramid head is my Bishi" Pin on my Megatokyo bag. Its all decorated with pins. I will have to take a picture one day and show everyone....OCR should makes side bags.

chfuji Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Happy and Sad Happy: I was notified that I received an envelope from a Jill Goldin. Sad: I was notified that the envelope I received from Jill Goldin...was slit at the edge and was empty. Thanks though, I'll save the envelope so I can say that someone did in fact try to send me something. That alone makes me feel special. Enjoy your holidays, and hope to hear a new show soon.

Jillian Aversa Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Alieo: I dunno if we will. We won't need to do another survey for quite some time, because it would probably give us the same results. But we often have contents and prizes on the show, so you could still win something. And argh, it seems like about a third of you received empty envelopes! So sorry... We had no idea there was a thickness rule for these things. I've always thought it was just weight that was taken into account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salty Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 This is where I'd normally post a picture of my empty envelope with zircon's childish handwriting and suprisingly spartan 'note', but I'm far too wiped for it. Instead I'll just down another shot and mutter under my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shivy Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 *shrugs* I don't know if it matters, but ever since VGDJ went on hiatus, I've felt honestly estranged and segregated from the OCR community. I know its mostly my own damn fault, but VGDJ was the small bit of thread that helped pull me closer to everything that goes on here at OCR. Joining a new community is always a difficult thing to do, and although I've been hanging out at OCR since waaaaay back when it began, I'm not a big forum-type guy, and don't post all that often about stuff (I didn't even make a forum account until a handful of months ago, and again that was, in a big part, VGDJ's doing). I try to listen to other podcasts, but I really enjoyed VGDJ a reat deal morethan any others that I subscribe to (though to be honest, Zircon and Pixietricks are a lot less entertaining when I can see them... Might just be because it clashes with my overworked imagination. Luckily videocasts are rare.) I just felt like I needed to post somewhere and let others know how I feel. I look forward to the return of VGDJ, and hope that things continue smoothly here at OCR. I love you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
