This is not a drill! Operation Moarteen proceeds and the next step is you signing up.

What happens next?

1) Sign-up

You fill out this form with your name, address, reddit user name, email address (You need to specify the email address linked to your paypal account, so we can link you to your payment.)

Why do we need all that information?

We use your reddit user name do determine your priority in case we need to set up a wait list (more on this later).

We use your email address linked to your paypal so we can request payment from you.

We communicate your shipping address to Ulrik together with your email address, so he can ship your Moarteen and send you tracking info.

2) Prioritisation

In the unlikely event that we hit the limit of 50 razors we will prioritise members based on how active they’ve been in this last inter-sub-exclusive interval. (Measured by (a) the number of sub-exclusive hardware group buys they’ve organised and (b) the number of comments posted between the announcement of Moar Boar on Fri Aug 5, 2022, 10:51:31 UTC and the announcement of Moarteen on Fri Sep 20, 2024, 06:26:15 UTC). This seemed fairer than a first-come-first-served list which would favour some time zones over others. Note that this prioritisation scheme automatically allocates the highest priority to the three members of the Project Moarteen Organising Committee (PMOC/OCPM), I hope that isn’t surprising to anyone)

People who don’t make in into the top 50 get put on a wait list for any spots that might open up.

3) Confirmation with Ulrik

Once we have a number, we make the final confirmation with Ulrik of Koraat and get a formal offer where we and he commit to the price. At this point, we will also know whether Ulrik managed to source the exact colour of the Moar Boar handle for the scales.

4) Down payment

Once you’ve made it on the list and Ulrik has confirmed, we will ask you for a down payment of EUR 25. The goal here is to avoid flakes like we had with Operation Moar Boar my forcing you to have some skin in the game when taking up a spot.

5) Production

Ulrik produces the razors. The estimated timeline is by end of the first quarter of 2025, but Ulrik said that it could be longer if we order closer to the end of this year.

6) Final invoice

Once Ulrik is done with the razors, he will invoice us. At this point, we will request payment from all of you for the remaining cost of the razor, shipping and the 5% flake buffer mentioned in the announcement.

7) Shipping and ensuing happiness

Ulrik ships the razors and wetshavedom rejoices.

Please put your questions, suggestions, and complaints in the comments here and we’ll address them. If any changes to the procedure outlined here should become necessary, we will try to stick to their intent and meaning as well as we can and communicate proactively.
