I don't think this is good advice at all. Jim B. is a member of this board and posts occassionally and always seems to offer some interesting insight into the business or some historical info when he does post. And I'm sure he reads all these posts that keep asking for more edgespot choices. A bunch of chip hounds calling and pestering them is not going to change their minds, it will more likely just piss them off (it would me). They've stated their policies and in one case, the solid horsehead GB, bent the rules for us when asked nicely by a single representative of the group. I'm sure Jim knows how much we all want more spot choices, and I'm sure we'll be the first to know if he decides to allow this, but PLEASE don't call and pester them.
Right now they will pre-oil your chips if you mention you are from chiptalk when you order, and they won't charge extra for it. That's pretty good. We chiptalk members have a good relationship with them currently and pestering them will sour that I'm afraid.
Now, if we present a good enough arguement for some edgespot variation, maybe, just maybe we'll get something. I think there's a good start in this thread. I'd like to suggest that perhaps we can come up with a laundry list of acceptable color combos with different spots.
For instance, one thing I've noticed on out of the ordinary ASMs (those with other than 312 spots) is that they don't seem to use dayglow colors for the spots. Can anyone else confirm or dispute this? I'm looking at the palmas chips and the only ones I can see that might be dayglow are the $100RD with the 4 thin orange spots or maybe the $25RD with the 3 yellow/orange spots. Can't say for certain though. But maybe if they give us a option of say 4x or 5x spots and limit the spots to only dayglow colors, perhaps that would be acceptable to them. JimB are you out there??
