gridlox Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 (edited) This is NOT a statement toward anyone. Just my attempt into the world of trying to be humorous! While not limited to just forums, sock puppet accounts are a way of life in the world of cyberspace. Below is the coin to commemorate this not-so-great achivement of creating a fake persona to hide when you don't want to tarnish your real account name! Made in Platinum, Sterling Silver, 24 Karat Gold, and a very limited number of Crystal (for those rare few that prefer to be seen through their alternate persona). D-man EDIT: SEE POST BELOW - THIS MAY NOT BE JUST A JOKE AFTER ALL. LET ME HEAR YOUR VOICE Edited April 7, 2006 by gridlox Quote

+nielsenc Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 (edited) i'll take one of each. nielsenc Edited April 7, 2006 by nielsenc Quote
gridlox Posted April 7, 2006 Author Posted April 7, 2006 (edited) Hmmmm... Already recieved a couple of emails asking if we're gonna make them So... let's hear your opinions. If the price is reasonable, and they are made in realistic metals, would you buy? This just might be a reality after all, if the demand is there. D-man Edited April 7, 2006 by gridlox Quote
+Damenace Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 So if we are not interested in scratching our name on the coin can we order Tungsten? Quote
+budd-rdc Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 This is NOT a statement toward anyone. Just my attempt into the world of trying to be humorous! I didn't think a disclaimer was needed when offending a Virtual Persona. Shouldn't there be a pre-order requirement of actually having a sock puppet account? I'm interested in a Virtual one. (I now see that people ARE taking this seriously. ) Quote
+scaw Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 what a great coin ................. oh please do one for real its cute Quote
+The Blind Acorn Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 I would grab one - make it Iconic as well... LOL.... Sock Puppet ROFL Quote
+phoenix-rose Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 Ha ha ha ha! I think that would make a great avatar for someone....especially if it *was* on a "sock puppet" account! Thanks for the laugh. ~Rose Quote
+AtlantaGal Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 The front is cute, but good luck selling 500 to get the icon. They would have to be dirt cheap if the backside is blank in order for me to buy any. Quote
+sundialman Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 I want one but I would rather not tell you who I am and where to send it. Quote
+nicolo Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 (edited) The front is cute, but good luck selling 500 to get the icon. They would have to be dirt cheap if the backside is blank in order for me to buy any. Ditto. I'd get 3, depending on price. Edited April 7, 2006 by nicolo Quote
gridlox Posted April 7, 2006 Author Posted April 7, 2006 The front is cute, but good luck selling 500 to get the icon. They would have to be dirt cheap if the backside is blank in order for me to buy any. No, I wouldn't want a blank backed coin either. If we make them, some ideas for the back would be to probably have the tracking number info, maybe the GC logo, the outline of a hand, ??? ... , and then a space for "name scratching". D-man Quote
+nfa Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 I'll take 3 or so if you make them...an icon would be great. Jamie Quote
Phantom_Dog Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 (edited) I love it! I want 10! Please have my real name put on the back. Jeremy Irish Edited April 7, 2006 by Phantom_Dog Quote
gridlox Posted April 7, 2006 Author Posted April 7, 2006 I love it! I want 10! Please have my real name put on the back. Jeremy Irish Just had a thought... I also design a little bit for a local trophy shop. I bet if you took these to one near you, or a jewelry store that does engraving, they could easily engrave your name in them for you D-man Quote
+Chaos A.D./aka Arlsdaddy Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 I think it would be funnier if you left the back to say what is shown in the picture. You can still engrave a name there too. Quote
+The Dream Cachers Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 I'd like one of these after you work out the details. If I had one, I'd probably have "AKA The Dream Cachers" engraved on the back. Your coin makes me smile! Quote
ATMouse Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 The back could include the phrase "Burning through the forums..." lol! Seriously, develop a backside (did I just say that? ) and make the price reasonable and I'll bite. (Actually, it's dern cute.) Quote
+GEO*Trailblazer 1 Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 Why I would leave it blank where the name goes.....after all it is suppose to be a sock puppet. Great idea. Quote
+57chevy Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 I want a couple of the Uber LE Cotton. And a couple of whatever metal. I think you may be on to something here! Quote
+fox-and-the-hound Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 It's a great idea and we'd love to get some! If you left the back blank for us to scratch on, the price could stay lower, too! I think we might get a whole new crowd of puppet accounts out of this though Quote
gridlox Posted April 7, 2006 Author Posted April 7, 2006 Why I would leave it blank where the name goes.....after all it is suppose to be a sock puppet. Great idea. But every Sock Puppet has a real person behind it! Hence your "real name" on the back.(Think "behind the sock") Quote
+mytfine65&geogal Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 What??? No Titanium? Irridium? Paladium? I'll just have to pass, then. CF30 I was thinking kryptonite. Quote
+GEO*Trailblazer 1 Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 I was thinking more "outside the sock". Why I would leave it blank where the name goes.....after all it is suppose to be a sock puppet. Great idea. But every Sock Puppet has a real person behind it! Hence your "real name" on the back.(Think "behind the sock") Quote
+MetroGT Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 If you do make the coin, I say trim the extra material around the sock puppet and put all the tracking info and such on the back. That way the coin is just a sock puppet on the front. Quote

+MetroGT Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 I'd suggest passing on the Plutonium ones 9Key... the lead containers for them will drive the shipping costs through the roof. Quote

I got a pocket full of ^^^ I always think of that song when I hear the word Kryptonite. Now back to your regularly scheduled geocoin brainstorming... Edited April 7, 2006 by 57chevy Quote
pock suppet Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 I'll take as many as you can mint Have you thought about making them biodegradable ?, Sock Puppets tend not to hang around for too long. Wool Perhaps ??? Quote

+bob393 Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 I'm in; if I can figure out how to order tham when the time comes! Quote
+MetroGT Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 OK now... guess you better make this one.... I've just seen it listed on a want list in the trade area! Quote
+The Blind Acorn Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 "Mr GARRISON..." "yes mr Hat" "Mr GARRISON. SOME ONE IS MOCKING ME IN THE FORUMS." "it's ok Mr Hat, they are looking to profit for your existence." "WOW Mr GARRISON, that's cool." --Southpark Quote
+Pepper Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 I would buy at least 10. Hea Sock Puppet...oops I mean MedTexPlacer wanna trade? hehehe Pepper Quote
+CamoCacher Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 Cute, as long as it is trackable I'd love 1, errr actually lets go with 2. Of course assuming the price is reasonable! Quote
+nicolo Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 Updated Design! What cha thunk now? I want, I want! Quote

Originally yes, but there have been numerous real request for the coin, so the decision was made to make them. Quote
ATMouse Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 I'll get one or two. It's funny, it's true and it's cute! Quote
