I never saw a copy come back through, so I am going to send it again, only I am going to include the Name Change that I sent afterward (which DID make it through the List Server). ****THE GREAT COUPON WAR OF 1997**** For the past few days, I have been watching the thread "Northern Lightly" with interest (and amusement :)). This thread got me to thinking (dangerous thing, I know) and this is result..... For awhile, now, I had been looking for a possible way to get more chapters involved in the Overseas Coupon Project (OCP) and still have fun doing it. Then the other night as I was reading the "Northern Lightly" thread, it hit me. "THE GREAT COUPON WAR OF 1997" North against South, East against West, but instead of cannon balls and gunpowder, this war will be fought with COUPONS. This war will not be limited to only STARFLEET Chapters, but also to chapters of any other organization (Star Trek realted or not) who wish to join the war. The object (of course) is for one side to collect more coupons and have a higher average per chapter than the other side. This makes the outcome more uncertain, for although some regions have more chapters, other regions can still be victorious by gaining a higher average per chapter (this is determined by _participating_ chapters, not total chapters in the region). The more chapters that participate in this war, the better the chances of winning this war is for either side. The only restriction in this war is (and this comes from experience) the coupons must be of the magazine or newspaper variety, and not from coupon books that are given out from time to time by supermarkets (this would create an unfair advantage in certain areas of the country). These coupons can still be used for the OCP project, just not for the war. It is requrested that warring chapters please let me know of your totals for this project so that I may keep tabs on the outcome of the war. I am trying to set up an "OCP Coupon War" home page to keep everyone informed of the totals and situations. There can also be "battles" fought between individual chapters from various regions (usually over a one month period) with the highest chapter winning (the times of these battles can be worked out between battling chapters). With the ground rules laid,............. After speaking with the CO of the USS Charleston, in Charleston, SC, it has been decided that a COUPON WAR is now declared on all other chapters of STARFLEET and non-STARFLEET organizations. The first volley of this war will be shot from the shores of Charleston, SC. The USS Charleston begins with a shot of $500.00 worth of coupons.
