You guys are currently in line for 1,2,3?

How does that sound?

Can't say fairer than that!

Although this does beg the question: How relevant are the numbers to a collector? Are low numbers important, or would you equally prefer 200 to 1? Any takers for #69? Lol!

That said, I am thinking I would actually like #200. Is this at all possible, Andy? After all, it's only a number, and we're still all lucky enough to have one of a very limited run, but i'm really feeling #200 seems like a good number considering Gurps has #1

Going to Tweet about this CE right now!

On a side note... A shame that i've already just passed my 100 DS game milestone, as this would have been a nice one to have gotten for my 100th, but it's still a nice CE to have considering there aren't all that many DS CE's in total!

It all depends what your real name is Gemini - if you initials are DW then your in luck, however if your initials are RG then it's down to weather DW want's 200!

With regards to the question "how relevant are numbers" - for me they aren't, however, a few of you requested them (and you are the people pre ordering them) so I got them on for you - ask you and shall receive (within reason...)

Fantastic, I really appreciate all the effort you have made keeping us informed.

I would say 1 to 10 are the ones in most demand, very very happy I got number 1.

Also like Gemini said, after number 10, number 100, 200 and 99 are the next in line. unless of course you are from the far east where the number 88 is the one you want. even more so than 1.

I'd want number 13 myself! (being born on Friday 13th after all). I'll see if I get staff discount on the collector's edition...

It's situations like this that I wished I worked for a games company. Not fair.

It would be the latter, so I guess I am the third person to have pre-ordered

It was more of a general thinking out aloud question, as I know some collectors do seem to prefer low numbers for some reason. For me, any number is equal to any other, although it is awfully nice of you to grant us the privilege of being able to pick & choose as an incentive for pre-ordering straight away. For that I (we) are very grateful for your efforts!

I believe DW is me (@lhurgoyf.net email). If so, then I am fine with #2.

AndyPQube · #39 05-25-2011, 05:08 PM

It's no problem at all - if it doesn't require too much effort and makes a difference then we have no excuses for not following them up for you guys.

With regards to the #200 - if RG doesn't mind having a different number then it can still be arranged.

Edit: it looks like your all clear for #200!

Thanks DW! (both for your order and making RG's day)

I would say it's all down to personal preference. Maybe some people believe a lower number would be more in demand than another, especially #1. Maybe some believe a lower number means it will be more valuable? Personally, I don't intend to ever sell mine, so it really makes no difference to me whether I get a low number or high number - At the end of the day, they're still limited to 1 of 200

But like you say, some people have a personal attachment to certain numbers. For example, someone who suffers from triskaidekaphobia may specifically want to avoid a certain number, whereas someone else may prefer a number they feel brings them luck

EDIT: Thanks guys. I am happy with #200. Thanks to Andy too for making it happen!
