In addition, VIP members will receive 20% more free credits when they purchase this special package. You must be an active VIP member before purchasing the special package to receive the added bonus!

Thank you for your patronage!

Brad - Thanks for the early advice, presumably as a justifiable marketing ploy to attract new and active VIP members before the 26th with the offer of the possibility of buying a special package with 20% more free credits in the "Super Sale."
However before Black Friday becomes a Black Monday and is not an early Christmas from Flirt as already muted, do I read your announcement correctly that there are actually only going to be a total of 200 credit (special) packages available for all, to which the 20% will be attached for VIPs?
Or is the sale to be an undisclosed amount (supply) of 200 different types of packages?
If the former, if a member, VIP or not, is lucky enough to get into the store as it opens and buys 2 packages on the first come, first served basis only 100 members are going to benefit!
How many members does Flirt have?
I trust I am not being over pessimistic or pedantic and that I have read your announcement incorrectly and that maybe supported by the conflicting information where you state "The sale will kick-off at 12:01am ET on November 26th and will last until the limits are achieved" compared to where you state "First come, first served."
What limit? 200?
If not incorrect and the deals are to be so good I can see there being a stampede and this being the shortest sale in history.

No, that's not a correct interpretation. Let me clarify.
We will allow this special offer to be purchased 200 times (either the standard one or the VIP one). The package offered to VIP members has 20% more free credits in it than the package offered to non-VIPs.
Say 150 people purchased the non-VIP package once each and 50 VIPs purchased the VIP package once each ... that equals 200.

We don't disclose our active member numbers.

We chose to limit it at 200 because of the HEFTY cost associated with the free credits we are going to give away with this sale.
Now, even though it's the day after Thanksgiving and major operations at our office will be closed, myself and the billing team will be checking on this sale regularly and if we sell out very fast we have a plan in place to get on a quick conference call to discuss increasing the allotment of packages and can make that happen quickly. Really depends on how fast it sells out.

Our friends in the USA are probably exhausted after thanksgiving dinner and party, while we just wake up and are completely fresh when the sale starts.
Piece of cake to grab those discount packs. Quote

I'm a medical examiner. I perform autopsies.
And thanks to the character on the tv show NCIS that has led to my adopting the 'ducky' as my avatar. Quote

Wow, that would have been my very last guess. If you had given me three chances for $20 I surely would have lost!

Oh woe is me. I am shocked and disappointed that you had not guessed and therefore my innuendo fell on at least one pair of deaf ears when, back in September 2009, I wrote in the thread "OMNIBUS EDITION - Something entirley different," (an editorial of the "something entirely different" thread) after a couple of characters had been killed off :-
HAS SUGGS RICOcHeted UP SKY BLUE WAY OR IS TWICKENHAM MORE HIS HOME? IS HE CORNERING THE MARKET IN OUR CHARACTERS SUGGALICIOUS AND PRINCESS GUSHALOT ALREADY AT HIS TABLE?
and then
But Suggalicious is now a Zombie that rose from the mortuary slab and asked, Suggs what happened?
Suggs passed out with surprise till the aroma of formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, methanol, ethanol - (embalming fluid) - and with the essence of wintergreen alerted his erection.
Maybe Brad, and no one can blame you for it, but I suspect that you had more important things to do than read our fantasy pennings as we whiled away our free time.
And now an apology from me for I have committed a cardinal sin, I have written off the prime subject of this thread.
As an aside to the audience - Should I drop the before and after my posts now that I am no longer an editor?
