arrrg... when might me be gittin de high seas set, me mattee!

socrates on Apr 23, 2007

on the linked page above, is this new:

"These IconBuffet regulars can send you this delivery."

Classicsmiley on Apr 23, 2007

...and here we have our first Diamond delivery!

Codemaster on Apr 23, 2007

Diamond. Incredible. 10 Tokens? Wow. That's gonna really take some careful thought. ;)

tamashii on Apr 23, 2007

@socrates: it is new - it means you have at least 250 points.

Also, uhm... many of the “regulars” that are reported as having this set to give me are on my friends list as well, yet only 3 of my friends are listed has having this set (jc, josh and keegan -- all IB chefs). What’s the deal here?

And - WHOA! DIAMOND!

Xerxes on Apr 23, 2007

So theoretically, this is a new series called Amsterdam which will probably be all diamond deliveries.

Hoshichan on Apr 23, 2007

PIRATES!!!! :O I need it! Does anyone have it??

matthazinski on Apr 23, 2007

Xerxes- There was Amsterdam Free Love a while back which was either a gold or a silver, I don't remember which.

socrates on Apr 23, 2007

@tamashii: thanks! ( as always ;)

it did throw me off when none of the peeps listed had the set

tamashii on Apr 23, 2007

@Xerxes: I wouldn’t say all Amsterdam will be Diamond. Not all Manhattans are Gold. Nor Oslos.

KatieK on Apr 23, 2007

Tamashii - Yarg, I saw that bug too. I suspect the 'regulars' who were reported as having the set have had it sent to them as their freebie, but have not yet been able to accept it.

iconmaster on Apr 23, 2007

Diamond sets:

Require 10 stamps to send
Require 10 tokens to accept
Award 5 stamps to the receiver
Award 250 points to the sender

meggan on Apr 23, 2007

Pirates! Also, DIAMOND set! So many tokens!

Just to note, I've seen myself show up in one of those "These people can send this to you" sections, except I didn't even have the set in question and I think it'd be kind of worthless trying to send the set to myself. :)

iconmaster on Apr 23, 2007

Yeah, that feature must still be a bit buggy. We'll look into why that's happening.

KatieK on Apr 23, 2007

Iconmaster - Really? That's a lot of points! Now I wish I had more stamps...

Hoshichan on Apr 23, 2007

Award 250 points to the sender

@_@ [faints]

llh63 on Apr 23, 2007

mememememe I love pirates.

tamashii on Apr 23, 2007

This is making me feel all weird inside! What a crazy set. Still only 5 stamps received though – wild… and 250 Points?!

You really gotta be choosy now. The game is on!

Sidenote: Lucky Lucky Lucky to get this as a free delivery.

fuseunderground on Apr 23, 2007

So much for the 'why do you have stamps' post, If not I might have saved some for all these bonus points :-(

Hoshichan on Apr 23, 2007

[CRY] Fuse, you're out of stamps??? :(

fuseunderground on Apr 23, 2007

Yarr!!

pam on Apr 23, 2007

Can someone sent me Amsterdam High Seas? Thanks

tamashii on Apr 23, 2007

LOL@fuseunderground. Great point!

I will only be able to send this set out 7 times when I get it. If that’s not bad enough, who would have the tokens to even accept it (VIP or not)?!

This is definitely the kind of set that demands a rather immediate acceptance or declination.

Hoshichan on Apr 23, 2007

If anyone gets it, I have tokens and will GLADLY accept..!!

fuseunderground on Apr 23, 2007

I notice 'pirate' is not a tag associated with the set, weird eh?

tamashii on Apr 23, 2007

…and what if the "window" was actually an afthole?

pam on Apr 23, 2007

On my list, I show only Josh and Keegan have it -- I'm not wanting to wait to see if I'm lucky -- I already begged Keegan. Left Josh for someone else :)

josh on Apr 23, 2007

As everyone is noticing, the Diamond collections are a rare breed. They'll be somewhat difficult to trade, but you'll get a chunk of points for pulling it off.

Jen on Apr 23, 2007

I just saw the set and came running here to see if there was a post about it! I noticed that four of the chefs now have the set. Reminds me of the Monkey Island game! :) Great job on it John!

iconmaster on Apr 23, 2007

Thanks, Jen!

Fixed that "pirate" tag; thanks for pointing that out, fuse.

Hoshichan on Apr 23, 2007

[thinks the Monster looks like Nessie] Really loving these, great work iconmaster! :D

dyar on Apr 23, 2007

In previous issuances you could go here and see all the Gold Sets. Changing Gold to Silver or Bronze in the address bar will show you those respective sets. Changing it to diamond you not only get the Amsterdam High Seas but also 2 bronze sets and 1 silver set. Are the diamond Deliveries going to have a unique tag that only goes with the Diamond Sets.

LoopyMind on Apr 23, 2007

Aaargh, it may cost me my parret and me peg-leg, buts i've gots to áve them PIRATE ICONS!

davethegr8 on Apr 23, 2007

avast!

fuseunderground on Apr 23, 2007

Thanks for the set chefs! those Icons rock!! I hope 'Amsterdam Ninjas' is on it's way ;-)

tamashii on Apr 23, 2007

First 7 people to request it, get it.

lparziale on Apr 23, 2007

I have stamps to give it, so if you need it, leave me a message!

tamashii on Apr 23, 2007

I have a badass Diamond Badge!!!!

lparziale on Apr 23, 2007

Yes it is!!

daveamun on Apr 23, 2007

This would be a good time to mention that September 19th is International Talk Like A Pirate Day!

http://www.talklikeapirate.com/

aaroncampbell on Apr 23, 2007

I can't get it! I got the free delivery from iconmaster, but I can't accept!

mcd on Apr 23, 2007

Best... iconset... EVER.

:D

aaroncampbell on Apr 23, 2007

Lol...now I have 2 copies of it. Something is bugging out.

tamashii on Apr 23, 2007

PREDICTION:

The next Diamond set will be Ninjas!!!

ftapao on Apr 23, 2007

cries softly to herself.

tamashii on Apr 23, 2007

When is your refill date, ftapao? I will send it to you now if it is within 7 days. Otherwise, I will hold the 10 stamps just for you until you are able/willing to accept it.

ftapao on Apr 23, 2007

Oh, it's not until next month. It's okay. I see myself getting farther and farther behind, so I'm throwing a tantrum. Don't mind me. :)

gswd on Apr 23, 2007

I have the pirate set, and just over 30 stamps. So if you want it, just ask.

kimberleygrey on Apr 23, 2007

Whoo! New favourite set! (I know what I want to use my tokens on next month...)

The more pirates the better - we need to stem the global warming disaster! :O

iconmaster on Apr 23, 2007

dyar: thanks for pointing that out about the tags. We've now changed the set tags to read as "gold delivery", "silver delivery" and so on. Sets that simply have icons depicting gold/diamonds/etc. retain the single word tags.

dyar on Apr 23, 2007

@ iconmaster - Poor little Shasta Robo has no set tags. There are currently 73 Sets, yet if you add up all of the Set Tags you will only get 72 Sets. He does come up on the All Free Delivery, however.

smalltide on Apr 23, 2007

Anyone want it? Happy to send.

tamashii on Apr 23, 2007

@dyar - how do you mean? If I type in: http://www.iconbuffet.com/tags/shasta, I get the stock set and the free delivery.

dyar on Apr 23, 2007

lol @ tamashii. The only reason I discovered that is that I was counting the sets to see when we would get the Silver and Gold badges. I kept coming up with different numbers being one short on the tags. It was then that I discovered that Shasta Robo didn't have a set tag.

Incidentally, there are now 19 Silver and 19 Gold Sets, so the next release of either should trigger a new badge.

dyar on Apr 24, 2007

@tamashii - no, if you type in
http://www.iconbuffet.com/tags/bronze
or
http://www.iconbuffet.com/tags/bronze delivery
you won't find Shasta Robo

Jen on Apr 24, 2007

@daveamun: It's also my birthday. ;)

I would like to have this set!

Keeblerelf on Apr 24, 2007

kimberlygrey: Ramen my FSM-sister! hehe

tamashii on Apr 24, 2007

Happy Birthday, Jen!!!!!

justG on Apr 24, 2007

Have I mentioned how much the monkey rocks? 'Cos it does.

daveamun on Apr 24, 2007

@jen: well, fellow virgo, I'll have to pencil that in on my calendar :-}

@tamashii: I think she was referring to sep 19 - Int'l talk-like-a-pirate-day

Jen on Apr 24, 2007

Yep, Sept 19th. :) You're right Dave and when is yours?

daveamun on Apr 24, 2007

@jen: Lucky 13th of September!

Hoshichan on Apr 24, 2007

Hey, a Virgo party!! (I'm on Sept. 21st. :D )

mvisconte on Apr 24, 2007

Argh, ya beat me to the Talk Like A Pirate link. Matey.

kimberleygrey on May 01, 2007

Ha, September 15th here! Must be a correlation between love of pirates and proximity of birthday to International Speak Like a Pirate Day!

lparziale on May 01, 2007

Virgo here as well! They do say that Virgos are very creative! SO I bet there are a lot on this board!
