Live stream of X-men packs opening (and giveaway!)

[Jack]

Nothing too exciting, I'll be opening 4 packs and will be giving everything away except DoW and A-Next. I'll mail out up to 5 cards per person within Canada and USA, first come first served.

The stream will be online at about 8PM EDT on Friday (March 18) and will start shortly after. I'll be streaming on Justin.tv at http://justin.tv/oponline http://overpower.ca/live

BBH has dibs on M'krann Fragment but everything else will be given out!

sa-weet!
I still need Supersonic, Manifest Phoenix, Bladefire, and Atomic Flame from this set!
How do I "sign up" exactly?

May I have Dibs on the Spider-Girl - Wall Walker? 2nd Choice would be the Krakoa you are almost certain to pull out of those 4 packs.

[Jack]

I'm only allowing BBH to have dibs since I promised him the Fragment until my cousin took it. Plus he's coordinating our meetups.

I haven't thought of a way to hand them out. We have three fronts to OP right now: Facebook, Twitter and the forums, so it'll be harder to coordinate communication.

well, hey, I'm always thankful for any kickdowns. So, if you want to give me anything, fantastic. If not, no biggie 
As a father of 3, buying expensive Overpower cards has definitely taken a backseat to other needs, like diapers  

[Onslaught]

Cool idea, if I'm around I will definitely watch to vicariously open packs.

[Overtime]

Very neat idea! I remember being so excited watching my friend Brody open MC packs so I can't imagine watching XM packs.

[Kal-el]

I would definitely watch if I wasn't out of town tomorrow. I hope you get some good stuff.

[Jack]

Not sure if there'll be a recording of it, I doubt it since this is my first broadcast. There will definitely be remaining cards that I'll post up afterwards.

As for how to claim cards, I guess the best way is to use the Justin.tv chat room and choose aliases. Preferably your own aliases on the forums. Hopefully I'll have a log of things to keep track of who claimed what.

...

Looks like you'll need to sign up to make aliases. I'll throw up a chat room and have video up on my own site. Makes things much easier.

...

We're going to be using http://overpower.ca/live for our giveaway. There's no registrations for the chat room, just make sure you /nick <name> to change your name after you enter.

...

You won't need to sign up for a Justin.tv account.

....

I love editing my posts.

[Dog]

Neat!  I'll try to be around for this!

[gameplan.exe]

Looks like I'm gonna miss this afterall 

Do me a favor? Post some of the highlights of the haul?

It's really cool that you're doing this. I love giving away my extra cards for free. Anything I can do to keep Overpower alive!

[Nostalgic]

Someone took my alias so I had to adjust it ...

There's no need to sign up for Justin.tv!

This is really cool that you did this, Jack! Very cool, indeed 

[Kal-el]

Agreed, very cool of you.

Looks like you only got one card that I needed, and that's already claimed.

This is why I shouldn't buy packs anymore, too many dupes.
