Banksy โข Choose Your Weapon Print, by ninja on Dec 11, 2010 2:08:23 GMT 1, Aha - now it makes more sense. Tomorrow, Commercial Street is still where my money is, even at this late stage.
Posted at 4pm today...
And naah, Wiz never told me a thing either.

Banksy โข Choose Your Weapon Print, by gwenie on Dec 11, 2010 2:08:56 GMT 1, I was outside POW at 21:45 and it was all dark and empty... Two hours later there's tons of people queuing. :-( I really wanted this print, but now I think I'll rely on the lottery.. Some snaps of the queue:
Looking at your snaps, there are well over 200 bods.
I do feel sad for happyshopper, and all the other people that were at M&S queuing. Did no one cabshare?

Was just off to bed and spotted this one , just to say i hadnt a clue about anything until i read my emails tonight, had Dinner then wandered in here to check and there the emails were, i didnt think anything would happen until next week ha, HS no idea why you thought i knew but it is incorrect..

pow are no where to be seen, need to get down here asap and sort things out. there have been fights already.

I don't know why, but that mental image just made me bust out laughing on my train ride home right now. Great, now everyone sitting around me thinks I'm a mad loon.

Banksy โข Choose Your Weapon Print, by bkcbongo on Dec 11, 2010 2:15:10 GMT 1, gutted to have missed out on this, knew having a life and seeing friends on a friday night wasnt worth it.
saw a few questionning fragile posts here when I could log in earlier -ins or not, fragile is the man - this time(ish) last year I went on a crawl collecting some unseen banksy's and asked for info - fragile popped up witha few which I mightnot have seen and were robbo'd soon afterwards. good man sharing the wealth.
for me nothing compares to seeing banksy's free in the wild. wonder if that is true of all those collecting tonight?

Not good at all. If they haven't given out tickets then it's going to be mental there tonight.

That sucks. By the time the sun rises, the 1st guy in line will probably be #167.

Find it hard to understand why POW haven't any security or handing out tickets - seems a bizarre case of 'let em sort it out amongst themselves'. For those c**t pushing in - here's a big fuck you! to those who miss out to the c**t who pushed in, I feel your pain.
Stay safe folks nd good luck. Try and enjoy the experience coz for some the memory of the overnight queuing is gonna last longer than the print and the money they make off it.

Banksy โข Choose Your Weapon Print, by Gentle Mental on Dec 11, 2010 2:33:38 GMT 1, Technical Analysis -
if POW don't check ip addresses, how could they tell if someone's doing mulitple reservations?
if they do check ip addresses, people who reserve from a big household, office, public places like library and cafe etc will automatically be deleted
if you pick grey thinking it has the best odds - wouldn't everyone else? thus lowering your chances
if you pick red - that's the one seen by everyone the longest - so the most familiar with the thousands of noobs
if you pick blue - that's the one you think others wouldn't, but so others do - the sky colour - quite an obvious/neutral/background colour for a guy walking his dog - also a possible noob fave.
if you pick green - the same colour as No Ball Games - that's the colour of veterans would pick - but there are a LOT of veterans out there - with many ideas/ways to improve their chances - thereby slimming yours.
i picked the one i like best.

If that does not work to disperse the crowd then maybe a call to the TSG telling them that they are student protesters who plan to deface Churchills statue again with green turf .
ps. is jboy and his many faces in the queue to get matching colours to go alongside his little helper print?

POW did the same last year. Well organised, security, gave out tickets. This year sounds like a shambles and I suspect that it'll get worse through the night.
I had a sneaky suspicion that the print would be sold tomorrow from Commercial Street and if it hadn't been for the shit weather in Scotland making it difficult to travel then I would probably have taken a punt.
Based on the reports so far though I am so glad to be nowhere near that queue. Too much stress to be standing for 12 hours in the cold for the slim possibility of buying something as people ahead of me push in. All for a piece of paper to hang on the wall.

I say this is a great Idea, Have them break up the gathering so everyone has a "fair" chance in the morning

I don't know anything about the VIP thing, but I am sure it wasn't planned for tonight. Possibly because there was a queue forming at the wrong location, they brought it forward, and that is why there is no staff / security at the POW offices? I understand the major problem is there are two queues (one either side) at the main door.

They must surely have something up their sleeves. It must be obvious to POW that it will be chaos in the morning with more than 200 who have waited for hours and hours.
