XMAS Grab Bag Fan Comments

Unread post by MurderCityDisciple »

I was wondering how you actually contact Kevin for a fan comment, anyone know?

Has anyone on these boards had their comment appear in a Weekly Update?

I have to think most of the comments are from hardcore Palladium fans who inhabit these boards.

And if you do send a comment is it a requirement that all the abbreviations and copyright notations are correct or are 'corrected' by Kevin?

Who would've thought Kamloops, BC was such a hotbed of Palladium activity.

Greetings and Salutations. All those fan comments come from the X-Mas Surprise Packages (which are ending this weekend). The ones selected are done so by the PB staff (probably those that especially caught their eye). I suppose you can always request that your comment be selected as one of your gifts, but there's no guarantee they'll do so. However, Kevin did say these would be the last ones. So unless he changes his mind, you'll have to wait almost a whole year until they do it again in the Christmas time.

Once, I think a few years back now. I was also mentioned (not by name, nor by quote, but by something I did) at least one other time.

Possibly. Others might never visit these boards at all. Obviously they're more likely to show the good comments, while someone who criticizes them in the Grab Bag comments isn't as likely to be publicized. That's just good business.

No requirements (other than buying the Grab Bag, of course). I'm pretty sure (though I'm not part of the staff and can't guarantee this) that they add in the copyright notations, and abbreviate things as necessary/warranted. Also, they'll occasionally add things in [brackets] to make a comment/context clearer.

Since I don't even know where that is ... not me. But awesome all the same. Anyways, hope that helps. Farewell and safe journeys for now.

I got mentioned once, my comment was appended. But yes, it's only through X-Mas Grab Bags, they don't have a comment feature for normal purchases options.

Sometimes Kevin will make comments from PM's and possible in person visits.

Yes, two or three times (2012? I can't remember for sure, 2013 and 2014).

Yes, I consider myself a hardcore Palladium fan since 1990.

They included my comments as they were, no corrections.

I have ordered 6 Christmas Grab bags, each time for the last three years (and at least one since the beginning of times!). Did it help? Well, I prefer to think that 3 of my 18 comments were funny :)
