[Birthday Aftermath] Share Your Regret (Thanks, @narfcake)
7
How’d everybody do? Did you manage to refund your way down to the cheap IRK, or maybe catch one in the wild? Any other good gets or regrets?
Especially interested in your refund strategies and how they worked out.
hat tip to @narfcake for the cakespiration

I bought an old school fastest to the draw irk and played a bunch of fun games. Time well spent.
@sammydog01 nailed it
I made the two purchases, but the kits (and the rebate) were gone. Very disappointed
I didn’t buy one.
Going to worldcon and shipment of irks sometimes are hinky and didn’t want it to come when i was gone. I mean, likely would be here first, but… then i’d regret
Didn’t get.
Didnt buy anything until second day when Irk was no longer side deals deal of the day. Still no IRK for 2025 but 5 more months left
@OnionSoup THERE’S TIME. (maybe, idk)
The cat will be happy (hopefully) with the cat food purchases. If she is too finicky then it goes to my sister’s fur babies that will eat anything.
I grabbed the Sidedeal second day by clicking the link in the Meh write up. I decided I wanted to surprise myself with the IRK for my birthday. The shipping should time it pretty close.
I played a few games but work and being out of town limited my time to participate.
@speediedelivery cats that will eat anything is a refreshing concept…
I hope my second purchase will still get refunded. With coming home from vacation I wasn’t left with lots of time, my second purchase came in at midnight.
/showme a buzzer beater
I monitored for a while and had two shots at VMP IRKs. Didn’t find anything else that called, even during VMP hour, which is normal lately. So kinda meh but huge kudos for bringing at least a few IRKs back to the membership.
I gots me three IRKs in the pipeline. Made my refund purchases five minutes before the deadline. There wasn’t a whole lot of stuff that appealed to me this time around.
@ShotgunX still pulled it off!
No purchases, no IRK, but I managed to come up with a winning MIBMMTIS entry for the contest. There were a couple of items that I sort of wanted but didn’t really need, and finances around here are going to remain tight through at least the end of next year, so I decided to just sit this one out.
@werehatrack still not a bad day’s work
Really upped my click-count, scored an old school IRK and missed a bunch of sleep.
Had a great time at the party
Just like old times on the old-school IRKs – my timing still sucks worse than a Dyson.
I…erm… forgot about the Mehrathon until the last hour (had some fun car troubles instead, whee!) BUT!
Had some fun in the whirlwind of finishing as many games as I could in the last hour and I seem to have won another IRK?
(Winning IRKs in games way is how I ended up getting into IRKs in the first place, and now I have a tattoo. It’s a gateway drug, people.)
@brainmist So you won 2 contests, and that means you get 3 Irks? Right?
