.............................................................A TRADE CALLED T T T...............................................................................
The basic rules ....... TTT = Top This Trade.
Whoever is up will ask the question "Who wants to top this trade". The first to answer "I will" enters into a trade agreement with him. The asker, sends a package first to the topper. Once received it is now his turn to "top that trade" by sending better than he received, either in like quality but more quantity. Or by sending better quality, usually in at least same quantity. The next day after answering the challenge, it is now your turn to ask "Who wants to top this trade"...and so on. And of course there is flyboy's great "sadistic Saturday" rule, where the question can be asked over and over again until the day is done.
One thing I have found while participating in the TTT thread,
DO YOUR BEST TO TOP THE TRADE WITH BETTER QUALITY STICKS AS OPPOSED TO QUANTITY -- YOUR PEERS WILL RESPECT YOU MUCH MORE,
top with quantity as a last resort.

The basic rules..........OCTTT = Outta Control Top This Trade
Same general guidelines as the TTT but this will be for those folks who just can't control themselves and love to bomb BIG (and have the sticks to support their habit).
1) ANYTHING GOES!
2) 10 stick minimum
3) No dogrockets! (if you're not sure if your sticks are DR, ask)
4) Send your end in a timely manner - I recommend a couple of days from the time you made the commitment or received the package...but use your own discretion.(I for one need to improve!)
5) If #4 is a problem then at least let the other B/SOTL know that your end will be tardy.
Note :
"Warped is too nice a name to use for some of the individuals in this arena !! This is where the heavy hitters play !
