Hey guys; sorry it's taken me so long to get back to this. I've looked through everyone's posts, and given a lot of thought to the situation. First of all, I'd like to make something clear; I didn't make my original decision to invalidate people's reservations due to any outside influence. I honestly made that choice based on my own judgment. There are clearly factors here relating to the 00:00 time frame that I didn't consider, and for that I apologize. Obviously the argument seems to have died down, but if there was anyone to get mad at, it would have been me, not Wildfire275 -- this entire situation is the result of a mistake on my part. Wildfire275 has been nothing but polite throughout the entire situation. I never felt pressured to change anything through their influence. That said, I feel like I've learned a lot from this incident -- next year, I'll set it up in the way listed in this post; ... mrsteph should have it so that she makes a post saying "Reservations Open" in which case any posts before that would be invalid, and anything after would be valid. It is just a suggestion but i think this is the only fair way as people couldn't complain then because the seller themselves have opened the reservation without the whole issue of timestamps or computer times. I honestly think this is the best way to do it. (Thank you shadowlycan for the idea!) That being said, I've decided to return the reservations to the state they were in originally. I almost hate to do this, because I feel like it's going to make an already confusing situation even more confusing, but I feel like it's the most fair choice, due to the arguments brought up throughout the thread. First of all, I did open the thread a minute early -- this was an accident on my part due to pressing enter while I was editing the original post, but it did happen. Sorry, not to add to the disagreement here, but I did post when the title was already changed to "Reservations open." I even checked beforehand, as like everyone else, just wanted to make sure it was ok to post ;O Sure it was a couple second off (I believe it was changed 20-30 seconds before the 12) but I was just going by the title change. This is a reasonable argument. I don't feel like I can punish people who posted early when I opened the thread early, myself. The fact that none of the people who posted early (aside from the initial 5-minutes-early request) were early by more than around 30 seconds I think makes it clear that the culprit here is most likely just a de-synchronization between said user's computer clocks and the forum clock. My original logic for changing the reservations was that it couldn't necessarily be proven that that's the case, but since most people who are posting that were affected by this seem to say they did wait for the clock to turn over, I feel like it's reasonable to believe that's what caused it. My set-up for how reservations would be handled this year was inherently vague, which is unfortunately what lead to this. Thank you to everyone involved for helping point me in a better direction for next time. All that said, what this means is that the following figures will be changing hands again: Levi - BRAVE ACT (Attack on Titan) // Sentinel (neonbrown > Djinnwolf ) Ultimate Madoka figma (Puella Magi Madoka Magica) // Max Factory (Wildfire275 > chitogekirisaki ) Ultimate Madoka - Figure Japan // Good Smile Company (shadowbyte > chitogekirisaki )This will be my final decision on this subject. I apologize for any confusion or disappointment regarding this, but I don't want to be switching reservations back and forth. Thanks for your patience, everybody. Again, feel free to contact me if there's anything you're confused about. Codewords and confirmations will be sent out starting tomorrow. I should have fixed up the original post by now, but if there's any errors, shoot me a message and I'll have it fixed by tomorrow as well. Hey mrsteph, I know I don't have any reservations with you but I have posted on this thread so I feel like its only fair to apologize for this mess that I had a hand in, I'm sorry for any rude behaviour or if I came off as standoffish. I think you made a wise decision especially considering how many people's posts you had to consider. I wish you the best of luck at your table thanks.

We have received a number of reports about several of the posts in this thread.
Please remember that we have a site wide ban of swear words and personal attacks. More than one post has come close to the line and if it continues we will have to take further action. You are welcome to discuss and disagree with each other, but you must keep it polite and about the idea, not the thinker.
Finally a reminder that while sellers are welcome to make and manage holds however they'd like, buyers are also free to participate or not as they wish. We (the Nominoichi staff) will not interfere nor enforce any hold arrangement, and this includes any system sellers use to make and manage their holds.

You handled this so well. good on you for staying calm, even though everyone (including me) was getting riled up. Thanks, Mrsteph. Thank you! Hey mrsteph, I know I don't have any reservations with you but I have posted on this thread so I feel like its only fair to apologize for this mess that I had a hand in, I'm sorry for any rude behaviour or if I came off as standoffish. I think you made a wise decision especially considering how many people's posts you had to consider. I wish you the best of luck at your table thanks. Hey, no worries! Things got pretty heated for a bit there but I think everything's been settled now (hopefully). Thanks! Thank you mrsteph for resolving this in the best way you could in all the craziness. Always a dedicated buyer here. See you at nomi. Thanks! I look forward to seeing you there. Moving on... Just a quick Question, the Ryuko & Satsuki Metal Keychain are brand new right? I can't say they're brand new, since I bought them quite a while ago, and they've since been removed from their original packaging; however, they've never been used as keychains and haven't left the house. They've basically been sitting on my TV stand since I got them (which was like three or four years ago?). Can i be put on the waitlist for the 2014 magical snow miku nendo please and thank you ? -raises hand- I can be on a waitlist for this right? :0 I posted it in the midst of everything between page 4-now Sorry, I totally missed your post; I've added you to the waitlist for that item! Hiya, I'd like to reserve the Yui Alter scale Thanks in advance! Hi there can I reserved the Maid Aigis figure? As well as the Aigis Figma. Reserved!

Oh wow, a lot happened. I was at work and passed out as soon as I got home so I didn't get the chance to look at this again yesterday. I didn't know if I should post again because I want to keep this all in the past but I want to apologize to mrsteph for this big mess on your thread, it must have been quite a tricky situation for you. I honestly never thought my inquiry would have resulted in this. I'm glad everything is all cleared up now. I look forward to seeing the items you have next year. Thank you for keeping calm and dealing with the situation in a great manner. Good luck selling your items! Also sorry to Chris, I know you're busy and shouldn't have to make time for squabbles on the forum. And to everyone else, I'm happy this is all done with and we can move on. AN and the nomi is such a great event that I always look forward to and have a lot of fun at. Have a great Anime North everyone!

No need to apologize, your point was a valid one and it makes total sense to me why you would have brought it up. I'm glad we got everything figured out. Thank you for your understanding! I hope you have a great Nomi/AN experience.
