Then again, if you guys had any idea how much brain power, ink, computer surfing, and calculator time I've spent on this..... you'd think I was some sorta wierdo that actually spends time on a "Poker Chip and Gear Forum". BBBWWWAAAHAHAHAHA!!!!  |

It doesn’t make sense to try and please everybody by making a hybrid set of non-denominated and denominated chips.
I'm venting because I really want that BEAUTIFUL blue chip in my set of DENOMINATED chips!!!   |

Ditto what he said.

TripKings, you are a genious in the same vein as Emo Phillips.
New Idea: make one chip with 100 designs and we can use it for every value from 1 - 100

I know you can't please everybody and you are trying to do what is best for the group, but it was the one choice that could kill the deal for me. I still like the original idea of keeping ALL chips with denom.

- It honestly represents the amount of rediculous over-analyzing and back-and-forth we have all done (so it was real)
- And it seemed tounge-in-cheek, so it was satire
If I misperceived the satire, then you're not a genious. You're just another chip geek like the rest of us.  |
