eh sorry.. that post was at 6:30am with no sleep. found it.. n/m

12:13 here checking in, I just got a $390 ticket out of STEP today! Pretty awesome actually, as it's my birthday! I got up and thought "gee it would be the best birthday present ever if STEP came through today" and there it was! Congrats.. i was 12:14.. virgin to the big burn here. I think when the...

honestly for me its working out well. i may not have the money till late next month so the queue can take its good ol sweet time heh

One of the lucky 2,000..

There is just such negativity floating around the community that it worries me. Have had few people on here remind me that eplaya is not representative of the burn itself, but I just have some serious concerns that this is indicative -- although in an exaggerated sense -- of the feeling of the commu...

I can tell you that Disorient (2:00 and Esp last year) saw similar results to what everyone else had.. about 25-30%. But we're charging ahead. Hey, may the camp be less loud, less flashy, as big? Maybe not, but we'll figure it out. I think it comes down to these camps scaling back their plans if nee...

Not asking you to decide.. discuss. Theme/sound camps weren't always a major part of the event, at least of the scale you see now (Disorient, Distrikt, etc etc) The same question should be posed to art installations, should it not? They were never the size of infrastructure or headcount as they are...

..... It was so beautiful when I brought my little brother's ashes to the temple. .... Some of the things that I have read on these boards this week have me seriously worried that we are not welcome. I hear in the comments, aimed at us new folks for wrecking your good thing, while we all want the w...

Could it be that some of thiese camps just got TOO big? There's a point to discuss.

Thank you for this post. Since getting into the "burner" culture 1 1/2 years ago (shortly after '10).. this is the first time i've felt disillusioned by the community. I am a little salty that i didnt get a ticket.. but i'm pressing on. not giving up yet. This is my year.. you just know. Hopefully t...

I didn't get a ticket, and was frustrated and salty for a bit, but the display in here and what's being said is absolutely horrible. We're really becoming elitist like this? Some of the behavior in here, regardless of how bad the process was (it needs major work) is anathemic to the whole principle ...

people just can't accept the game has changed. The old system is not coming back.

Theres a lot of assumptions in this thread. I ask that people hold their opinions until STEP comes out 2/22 so we see who exactly has these tickets. It could be a lot of people have extra tickets. You don't know if its all "virgins". I'm a virgin here, this would have been my first. Am I salty? yeah...

630am ET and nothing here. At this point I'm willing to guess the drawing is about over. Congrats to those who have won, to the rest of us, the wait and search continues

sounds about right nick. i was expecting a 50/50 chance. :/

I am getting a little worried but staying positive .. Reports are beginning to come in via Facebook.

2x $390

that picture is so full of win .. congrats

Thats the right way to do it. If you said you would pay $390 to increase your chances, then they should draw from those who agreed to pay that much first. Makes sense. Everyone has much more even odds now

Yeah, I just did lol

I just want my ticket situation settled by April at the latest. I need time to prepare. Waiting until June is just too frickin late...

Is this why we're waiting so long? I mean. Now I wait to find out next week that I probably didn't get the tickets. This is extremely discouraging. The way they are making it sound, the number of tickers requested is probably up near 60-70k. This is not good news

Ack, that sucks. But yeah PCI compliance is a big thing with the credit card processors. There is little BM can do about the rules.

just averted a disaster.. looked at my account, and noticed I didn't have enough for the fees if i got the $320 ticket! thank god i have night deposit for my bank. just put in $10 to cover it. Check is out which could get cashed. Whew. Now knowin my luck I'll get the 280 tier but not playing ANOTHER...

This is my first year. Do people always get their pantaloons in a bunch this much over the small shit? Jeez. Been to regional burns and theyve been using a system similar to this for years. Takes out the advantage of having a faster computer/better Internet connection IMHO. Everyone has an equal cha...

Okay so i wasn't nervous about this before until now. Figures. Crossing my fingers for that magic email. 2012 will be my first year.. but been in the community for 2+ years now. :: claps nervously ::
