#810; The Evaluation of Wishes

[[The Fisherman is speaking to Woman #1]]
Fisherman: You’re the smartest person I know… what wish should I ask for the one-fifth starhorse?
Woman#1: How about a million misshapen, five-headed dollar bills? So you might end up with regular ones?
Fisherman: Bluh. Good luck getting that to work out the way I want.

[[The Fisherman is speaking to Man]]
Man: If you ask for gold, you get sulfur? Dude, ask for dubnium. You’ll probably end up with scandium, which sells for thirty grand a pound!
Fisherman: Hmmm Suddenly flooding the market with scandium sounds like a great way to get on an FBI watch list

[[The Fisherman is speaking to Woman #2]]
Woman #2: You should ask for the world to be at war. Surely only a fifth of the world being at war would be a gross improvement.
Fisherman: Oh, surely nothing bad could come of asking a magical horsoid with undefinable powers for the entire world to be at war.

[[The Fisherman is speaking to the Horse Head under glass]]
Fisherman: Now look, before we move forward, could you give me the probable results for several potential wishes?
Horse Head: Only if it is your wish that I do so and if it is, I warn you do not trust the answers.

Bolted! Fulfillment Update

Photo courtesy of backer Nicola!

The vast majority of Bolted! game shipments are already shipped, but I understand if you don’t have yours yet, who cares. Here’s a progress report:

Total orders | 1052
Surveys completed | 992
Fully shipped | 946

Incomplete surveys

Obviously, if I don’t have your shipping address, I can’t ship your game! Let me know if you are missing a survey link. As new responses come in, they are rapidly added to the shipping queue.

Orders containing certain add-ons

Some of the add-ons proved more popular than expected — which is lovely! But it meant I had to reprint some stickers, make all the individual comic prints, request a shipment of books from offsite storage, etc, etc. So, any orders which contain an out-of-stock item are still waiting to ship.

All that missing stuff, though, is en route to me at this very second! So those orders will be going out pretty dang soon!

Custom items

I’ve already been in touch directly with the backers who ordered custom collages! Those will be created (and sent to you) after all the other shipments are complete. I’m excited for those, they’ll be fun! My pleasant dessert after the hearty meal of all the other orders.

Anything wrong?

I’m very grateful to the few folks who’ve contacted me to report some kind of issue with their shipment! Thankfully, problems are rare, but when they do occur, I would like to solve them. Please don’t hesitate to send me an email (replying to your shipping confirmation works great) if there’s anything about your order I can correct.

Reviews & photos

On BoardGameGeek are highly appreciated!

Unless you hate the game! You are entitled to that opinion, but please send that review directly to me instead of telling anyone else, so I can eat it and bury it in the yard and watch it grow into a twisted, gnarled tree. Or whatever!
