[tulagirl]

I have a question. Is this strictly a wish list swap? Or are you just supposed to get any pony you find that is in the color group your partner picks? Is the 20.00 amount just for the ponies and not including extras or is the 20.00 amount ponies and extras?

And what does this mean?

8/1-8/8

 

[starbeam]

I would be interested, but I don't have time. And like Tulagirl said, you left out a lot of info, like will the ponies be from that color group? And swaps here don't have 30 members though.

Ok to answer your questions:
Is this strictly a wish list swap? Or are you just supposed to get any pony you find that is in the color group your partner picks?

the point of the wishlist is so you can find things on there list that reflect one or both of there colors.

Is the 20.00 amount just for the ponies and not including extras or is the 20.00 amount ponies and extras?
$20 as said is the Minimum amount that can be spent. Please buy the items based on the amount you would like to relieve. this is where my swap differs from most,
I tend to give a minimum rather then a max, it allow for you to be more creative. An what i mean by extras is anything not a pony in there colors.
later once the swap starts I will post some questions here that people can post answers to in this thed to make it easier for shopping,
8/1-8/8

I would be interested, but I don't have time. And like Tulagirl said, you left out a lot of info, like will the ponies be from that color group? And swaps here don't have 30 members though.

like will the ponies be from that color group? And swaps here don't have 30 members though.
As I stated ponies most reflect the colors chosen. An why would you state that there can't be 30 members participating?????

 

[tulagirl]

She says that because here on the TP our swaps are not typically that large. Usually at the very most we would have 6-8 people participating. I am not sure my question was clear. I actually understand your concept here of the ponies being in a color group. What I want to know is if I join this swap and say my colors are white and blue. Does my partner randomly pick whatever white/blue pony they want to send me? Or do they only send a white or blue pony only from my wanted list? If its random that would create the possibility of me getting a pony I already have and this is what I am trying to find out. Thanks so much.

And what does this mean? 8/1-8/8

I think that's the amount of time people have to sign up.

I actually understand your concept here of the ponies being in a color group. What I am trying to find out is if that is strictly picked from a wanted list or is it possible you will get ponies you already have and didn't ask for in a color group? I guess what I am asking is if we are supposed to make a wanted list with the two colors we pick and who ever gets us as a partner gets ponies strictly from that list?? Or do they just buy any pony that fits the color scheme? I just don't know how else to ask it. If say I picked the color white but I only have 4 ponies I need that are white. Does my partner choose between those 4 or do they buy any white pony they find? This would then result in get doubles of ponies I already have that I may not need.

ok so your current want list with all wanted items, it is up to the person shopping to choose things off that list that have one or both colors eather on the body or in the hair. and in your case it is up to your partner if you get 2 or all four of said ponies this is where random comes into it. you dont know what will be in your box till you get it.

This seems confusing and a fair amount of the questions seem irrelevant to the theme... I would love to do another swap so soon but colors seems like a tricky theme for me. I'm out but good luck, interested to see how this turns out.

Rarishy,
It is very simple:
Two colors to work with.
A list of ponies they want.
Questions to give a better idea of what they like.
That's it really simple.
Thrse are two examples:
First one my color's where yellow and blue. They had my wantlist and answers to the questions.
Second picture purple and blue. Same thing wantlist and questions.
Hope this clarifies it more.

 

[tulagirl]

Oh that's interesting...even the extras are part of the color scheme. Cool

 

[darknessunisousboy]

Yep

 

[Tikibirds]

I have been in the color swap before and it's really not as hard as it seems. You just trim your list to include ponies of the colors you choose
sadly I have to pass this time around since I doubt I will be able to find ponies here

 

[tulagirl]

It's just not the best time for me due to vacation and expenses, but if it's ever done again I may jump.
