I've hinted that I have some changes in mind for Room Key RR #19.

Instead of taking names, creating a list for the path the RR will follow, and then sending it off, I'm going to leave the path the RR follows up to the participants

I will post the announcement, along with the basic rules for the RR, and then under that posting I will post these messages...

-Room Key RR - First Stop

-Room Key RR - Second Stop

-Room Key RR - Third Stop

-Room Key RR - Fourth Stop

-Room Key RR - Fifth Stop

The first person to reply to a message will be at that position in the shipping order. Each person can only participate once in each RR, so it's not like you can take the first, third and fifth spots Once the first stop is filled, the RR can ship. There's no need to wait for other participants. I will email the address of the second stop to the person filling the first stop...and so on. After the first five stops are filled, I will decide if I will post another five stops or if the RR will be "called home" at that point.

I'm hoping that this will avoid some of the problems related to timing the RRs to match travel schedules. Please do not ask when I will be announcing the RR as I have no idea when it will happen.

Hopefully everyone will enjoy this change as it allows the participants to have more control over the RR.
