To everyone in this group, I am very sorry that things have not been running smoothly. After the tasks for badges were sent out, it was a jumble of things that, although sorted adequately, was draining - thus time was needed for sorting out badges.
Well, "time" led to lack of motivation.

I am wondering if people would prefer this group to be... more of a... "I'll find you a partner, and you can just trade together" type thing, rather than "I'll mix you all up and it's a surprise who is drawing for you"?
Obviously this will not be ideal for a surprise element, but it helps allow us to make sure you aren't matched with the same person twice by accident.

There will be (potentially/definitely) a new admin to the team, which should make sure things like this (inactivity) don't happen again. I trust that this person will continue sending out assignments on my behalf or do the sorting, however we function.

Sorry to all the ACEO traders - your join forms HAVE been received, it's still a matter of assigning you to each other... Please be patient while the new admin learns the ropes here, so that we can just... "shoot it out", basically. :/

As to the badge traders!
