Dice Buy

• the greatest issue discussed last meeting was that the demand and price has been driven up to the point that people are willing to bid $100+ per dice
• chris argues that our previously discussed solution (increasing amount of dice we give out each time) would only increase the price that people are willing to pay
• emerald: by releasing more "collectors items" (new dice), it will only drive up demand as people will see a new shiny set, and an old vintage set
• chris: argues that we do shirt buys semi-regularly, why not dice?
• alistair: unigames orders shirts, our dice buy was not a committee thing - it was a singular committee member who did the order seperate from committee (with permission from committee)
• jackie: a point brought up from the community is that we've accidentally created an illusion that we only have like, 10 dice left (limited supply) when in reality we have like 40 of those bad boys
• emerald: i believe ordering new dice wouldn't be solving the problem, but just creating a new problem on top of our current problem.
• ethan: agrees with emerald, if we do another dice buy we are essentially promising future years that we will also do a dice buy when we run out of dice again. we would have to commit to "unigames merch"
• ethan: if we release more dice on average, prices would tank for a bit (coming from a magic player, if you see wizards reprint a card it tanks)
• texas: unigames dice should be compared to cherish charms (these are charms organised by a member that took place in the club), rather than shirts
• motion to look into a custom dice order: 0-8-2
  • motion fails

Table

• is in production
• they will send us an email when the table is done, and they'll probably send us an invoice for that, before they're happy to send it to us
