Deskthority 5th Anniversary

[chzel]

I can do a bit of proxying as well!

[Muirium]

Hey, I was going to be proxying *to* you guys! Everyone in my GBs is getting something shipped soon anyway, might as well ride something extra in there.

But I shouldn't spoil the fun. Wanna double proxy? We could get iterative!

[Ray]

We could get iterative!

The result is a grabbox, but every item has its future owner labeled?

[Halvar]

Or should I have mentioned which side of the iron curtain I’m on?

Well where in Berlin do you live?

Updated proxy list

seebart - Germany
faxe - Germany
kbdfr - East Germany
Khers - Sweden
Spikebolt - Portugal
flabbergast - UK
Muirium - UK
meow a cat - Canada / USA
Blaise170 - USA
chzel - Greece

[Muirium]

I fixed a typo for you…

I'll be covering some folk all over Europe because of my GB. So Flabbergast is most welcome to help out the other Britischers, too!

Well where in Berlin do you live?

I am (and have always been) on the side where everybody except the police had free access to the Wall

Spoiler:

For those who don’t know:
the Berlin Wall was situated on East Berlin territory, just a bit, but sometimes a few meters, from the actual border.
Nothing prevented West Berlin inhabitants from entering those areas,
but as it was East German territory, the police was not allowed to
This constellation had interesting consequences visible here:


On the other side of the Wall, anybody who would have come that near to it would probably have been immediately shot:

Fixed that for you.

[matt3o]

LOL, I believe we have some forum gremlins here

[chzel]

Updated proxy list
....
Greece - Greece

I won't fix that for you, I'll keep it here for posterity!

[matt3o]

bear with me. I'm beyond tired.

[stuplarosa]

If you need an Eastern US proxy, I can do as many as you like...

[matt3o]

Just to be clear.

I'm not asking to ship 100 packages around the world. Just one or two letter-sized envelopes around your nation/continent. That can't be more than €1 postage.

If you are willing to do more (20-25) you are my hero and I'll send you a special gift just for you.

I'd be more than happy to do 25-30, I have plenty of spare time on my hands for the next couple months.

It'd be nice to do some work for the club!

[kbdfr]

OK, I’ll take European countries not catered for by others.
Even Italy and the Netherlands, if must be

[Matt_]

Congrats caligo! And I'd gladly help proxying in France (and possibly other European countries if needed, because why not).

[Halvar]

I'll take the still open "Western European" countries so that kbdfr doesn't have to.

[Ludovician]

I'll take Australia.

[livingspeedbump]

Happy Birthday <3

I can help proxy US if needed as well.

[culiandralin]

I already have a Novatouch, so no biggie that I'm not eligible. Just wanted to say congratulations on the five years--I enjoy reading here for the depth of knowledge and consistently displayed civility. Happy Anniversary!

Offering my help again for France/Belgium.

[Halvar]

Wait what?

Europe when kbdfr was born:


red: kbdfr
blue : halvar (except the ones that are already covered by others...)

[hoggy]

Caligo, congats!

Matt3o, happy to proxy to the UK. Hell, I'm also happy to proxy for the isle of man for what that's worth.

[copter]

I can proxy to Finland no problem, but I'm afraid that I'm the only member here anyway..

[Compgeke]

There's at least two others when sorting all club members by location, club-members-g11.html?sk=b&sd=a

[copter]

So it seems, so my offer is then more valid than I originally thought.

[kbdfr]

Updated list of proxies
[…]
kbdfr - Germany (one block around his home )

Last attempt at having Europe taken over by Germany luckily failed, so:
kbdfr - Eastern Europe

Wrong

[Halvar]

Oh come on, just take it as a compliment!

[maxmalkav]

Count me as a proxy for the Netherlands, and I think I can get someone for Spain too, I'll raise awareness of this thread among the Spanish folks
