This is where I think the contest is going to hit a big snag. Some are going to want progression in the spots. Some are going to want low denom cash sets and some are going to want high denom tourney sets. Are all the 'cool' edge spots going to be in the high end?
Colors are also going to be a problem. Not the / controversy going on since the caveman days, but muted/classy colors v. bright/fun colors. And, it'll look weird if we pick a $1 chip with vibrant colors and a $5 chip with say, plum as the base color and chocolate and grey spots.
I don't envy Ten's adminstration of this contest.
Speaking of which, how's it going to go? I'm not going to post any more mockups because it just clutters the thread and it seems like the point is general discussion. No more chaos from me. For now.
[EDIT: I'm probably the only one in the world, but blue or white $1 doesn't matter to me. White NCV I think works fine. It can be used as a .25 or (or $1 if someone really hates the blue $1)]

isn't that what casino chipsets are like? most fantasy sets are just faux casino sets. i'd bet my hat that we'll see all the exciting spots at the 100+ denoms.

This is a good question. Right now, I'm operating under the assumption that Ten will start to post polls whenever he deems that the time is right. Right now we're still in the general discussion phase.

Regarding the classy/muted vs bright fun colors, the rules state that "the prevalant theme should be that of luxury, style, opulence, or something signifying high class." So I think that debate's already somewhat decided.

Per the rules there is going to be a 25¢ chip. I suppose some may opt not to buy the 25¢ chip and use a NCV as 25¢, but I'd think it unlikely.

Excellent, thanks Ten. Oh, and you are talking about the ability to have them in our grubby hands pre-order-period, correct?

Thanks again,

EDIT: Are these going to be identical to say, the Mardi Gras(BC) chips in all physical respects? If so, many of us wouldn't need samples. Is there a possibility that they will be of superior quality re: the Samuri's as some have stated? Thanks.

Too bad we can't have secondary sets like the New Yorkers, then we can all be happy with a or

Bravo!!

Yeah, I was thinking about this, too. As much as I'd like to see a bright set, bright, showy colors don't scream luxury and opulence to me. I think muted, classy, deep colors are going to be the way to go to fit the theme. The feeling you get when you hear, "I have many leather bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany."

That's why I like these $1 chips, with 4 thin spots, simple colors:
