JMGraham Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 I agree it would be cool, I just think it would not be very functional. Plus, the expense wouldn't be worth it. $.42 per die vs. 2.52 per die is a pretty big swing for the addition of a non-functional butthole. Heh. Non-functioning butthole. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generalripphook Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Well yeah but they are also dice that are going to be memorable and you'll be able to use them forever. I support Having the two sides! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intrizic Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Good Point Jim, is there a compromise here? I agree with Huggies01 that I wouldn't need 36 non-functioning buttholes (heh indeed), but I be willing to pay $2.52 per dice for...a handful of non-functioning buttholes ( ok, i giggled that time). So Maybe 2 orders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayne_Cobbb Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 I am poor. I do not. Maybe a limited run. But 2+ dollars a dice is crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMGraham Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 That price is for ordering 500+. If you had 10 to 25 they would be $6 a pop. If you had up to 99, they'd be $4.50 a pop. Personally, I'm not interested. I have enough non-functional buttholes in my life. Heh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smashthedean Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 I think we need to do the 500 dice as single sided. For double sided dice, I am 100% fine if anyone wants to do a special order on their own dime of double-sided dice using the logo, but I think it would be a huge waste of money to do it for the full order.

VonVilkee Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Naysayer to the double image here too, too expensive won't have enough appeal to sell enough even just to us... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generalripphook Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 We could always use a cheaper and smaller company to buy the double sided ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huggies01 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 NO. This is what the Warhamsters do. This is what we are known for. We start big...super inflated with a great idea and then run. Well I am not letting us. Not today. We are going to figure this out and then we are going to talk about it. This is not the time to start saying yay or nay. This is the time to get an idea, gather all the logistics and then we will decide. People, this is a big topic. I have been sick for 3 days and off the board and this thread already has 5 pages on it when I come back on. This is a big topic that needs further discussion, not decisions. Kacy can we look at all possible avenues for dice? Not just people we have dealt with but everyone. Every dice company that you know of. If they look like they have any good deals let me know and I will personally give them a call. No deal is ever 100%. We aren't looking for big bulk orders but deals on special orders. You guys are far superior at this game community networking, and product searching. I leave this task to you and anyone else who wants to do some searching. Guys, lets not look at Stats, price and all that yet. If we are every going to make a difference, we are going to have to take a couple steps out of our comfort zone. There was quite a few of you I had to fight to get this logo updated, but now its quite the rave. I won't quit you guys yet. Not yet. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smashthedean Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 I think this might be getting to the point where it will be better to talk about in person. From all of the research that I've done, Chessex is the best company to go through for this and I'm not really interested in looking into other options when the one in front of us is so good. If you want to do research yourself into other companies and present them, you can, but I won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huggies01 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Do we know what the cost will be to get Shirts and Patches printed with the new logo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMGraham Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Depends on the type of shirt you use, but we've always used BlueCotton.com before. Patches were from ... Err... I forget. Maybe custompatches.net? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smashthedean Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 It varies based on the number of shirts we do, but for example 20 shirts of the kind we did last time are $7.28 each before shipping plus more for 2XL+. We usually mark them up about a dollar or so for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

generalripphook Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 The one place I posted earlier about cost 3 dollers for the dice after a $30 designing fee But he does say that on big orders he will charge $2 per dice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gailbraithe Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Replacing two faces is a bad idea - the first time you roll and forget to make it clear which face is what, you'll have a potential fight over cheating. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intrizic Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Replacing two faces is a bad idea - the first time you roll and forget to make it clear which face is what, you'll have a potential fight over cheating. have you seen the logos in question?

smashthedean Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 I guess here are the pros and cons as I see them presented. Pros: Having double-sided dice would make us more unique as other clubs only have single sided dice. Some people think that having a hamster's butt on our dice is funny and cool. Cons: Higher price will eliminate any opportunity to make profit (or possibly even break even) for the club. Higher price will lower the amount of people who buy the dice, meaning that our cool dice will be seen and played with by less people. Even though it is possible to tell which side is which, it is harder to tell at a glance, which is worse for gameplay. Some people think that having a hamster's butt on our dice is dumb and not cool.

Fix Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Some people think that having a hamster's butt on our dice is dumb and not cool. Point me at these people so we can have words. I will assure them that it is they who are dumb and not cool. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalmer Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 (Regarding shirts, we get all our SWAT apparel through a local company that just takes the image digitally and then folks can get it on whatever they want... hoodies, caps, tees, shorts, etc. Lemme know if I can help and I'll have our graphic designer get in touch with whomever. He used to do international work for a snowboard company and can help out if asked) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
