Another Pirate advice:

Next time you have 10 tokens. Get 10 Shanghai bronze sets. They cost 1 token each and if you hold 10 sets = 10 tokens. What you get? 100 points + 3 badges + 50 stamps (very important for this game) but most important...10 great "undervalued" sets.
Just post a blog (click Blog Forums tab in your profile) "Newbie - Accepting Shanghai sets", and you will get them very quickly, I promise you that... Enjoy!

Ahoy matey! welcome to IconBuffet and The Pirates,
I added you as a friend to help you get your Rock Star badge...

Pirate advice:

You don't have to accept every set that is sent to you and you have to keep in mind that sets cost tokens and you only get ten (10) tokens a month if you arrr... not a VIP (VIP's=30 TOKENS) so spend them wisely. Sending sets costs stamps.

The value of the sets you send or buy arrr... as follow:

Bronze Set = 1 token for buying = 1 stamp for sending
Silver Set = 3 tokens for buying = 3 stamps for sending
Gold Set = 5 tokens for buying = 5 stamps for sending
Diamond Set = 10 token for buying = 10 stamps for sending = As of Today, 3 Diamond Sets = Amsterdam High Seas, PackRat and IB Anniversary= 1 month of tokens for each set.

Need more tokens? for every 10,000 points you get 2 extra tokens every month up to 10 tokens (50,000 points). One free token each month for every referral that becomes VIP up to 10 tokens (10 VIP referrals)

Check the complete-icon-lists from debbye

You get more stamps by receiving sets (5 for each set you receive). There arrr... several good tutorials here in the forum and somebody will be very glad to link you to some fairly quickly. I would recommend:

Try to fill out your profile entirely ASAP, to show off who you are to the rest of the community.

You should get an avatar and earn your first badge, cheese badge.

Enjoy The Buffet!

This is a real friendly community ask away (in a blog or on a person's page) if you have questions. Here are a couple of very useful blogs

Here is a quickstart guide for Iconbuffet (hopefully some of this you already know):

At the top of the page (below "Welcome to the ice cream social") is a tab [Free Delivery]. Select that tab and you can see all of the free sets available. Hover the pointer over the name of a set and it will show you the cost :
  bronze-1 token, silver-3 tokens, gold- 5 tokens, and diamond-10 tokens
Select a set and it will: show you all the icons in the set, tell if you have this set, and if you are missing the set -show your friends that have the set; or if you already have it, see the friends that missing the delivery.

Everyone wants to send you sets because we earn bragging points, so ask away on anyone's site (most people prefer a whisper so no one will snipe the set - that's when a 3rd party sees your request and sends it before the page owner gets to it which "snipes" the points). The active people on iconbuffet are a friendly but weird group (which is why I fit in so well). Ask away if you have questions.
To "Whisper" check the box next to the Post Comment button. Only you and the page owner can see a whisper. You cannot whisper on a blog page. Some of us whisper in our own box to keep private notes.

If you want a set delivered in a minute or two post a blog from your page. The entire community can see it so be sure and specify the set you want, otherwise you'll get everything you don't have. You will find you spend tokens quickly so be choosy and only accept the sets you want. No one gets their feeling hurts if you reject a set. If you do not accept the set it will stay on your delivery "queue" for a week and then go away. It cost the sender stamps to send the set. If you do not accept the set they get the stamps back but not until you reject or they expire. If you requested a set and change your mind, it is proper etiquette to decline immediately.

You can only send a set if you have stamps. You get stamps with each delivery. The amount of stamps to send a set is based on the set's value.

Be careful - collecting icons for "future use" can be very habit forming.
