Hmmm we are getting nifty.
That sounds like borg equipment to me.
On that note, if the borg had issues isimilating because component
delivery was held up somewhere would really be a bit of a problem.

Hey guys, at first this might not seem like it is game related, but
it actually is. I am currently stuck on something, postage related,
which is holding up the development of a game I've been
making. Without going in to too much detail, the game I'm designing
with Locutus will have include actual physical items which will be
mailed out to players. These will be a tactile reference map of the
game's city, and the special head band used for head tracking as you
play the game.
During one particular chat with Nocturnus, he mentioned that since
the materials are blind-accessible, I should be able to send them
postage free through the US mail if I write "Free matter for the
blind" on the package! Saying I was excited is an understatement,
since this would be the single greatest news I've had so far on this
project, rofl! I did some checking online, but the definitions for
what can and cannot be sent read like terrible VCR instructions, and
I wasn't confident I understood them. I took the time to drive up
to my local post office to as the people working there, but after
asking each other, all had heard "something" about it, but none knew
how it worked. They gave me a phone number for some higher up
office, but the phone just rings and rings forever when I try to
call it. I would have expected someone at the actual post office to
know how this all worked.
Well, for the moment, I'm stuck. I'm quickly approaching the point
where I will be building large quantities of these maps and head
bands so they are ready for when the game is released. If shipping
is free, these items will be very inexpensive since I will only need
to charge people for the cost of the materials I'm using. If,
however, I can't ship for free, the shipping on the packages will be
probably 2 or 3 times as much as the cheap items themselves! I
would absolutely hate that, plus it might mean less people would be
interested. If anyone has had experience using "Free matter for the
blind" on items being mailed, please help. From what I understand,
registered blind individuals can send mail out for free, but I need
to know if I (a sighted person) can mail these accessible items to
all of you without there being a postage fee.
