Flying Spaghetti Monster CPC Mockups (1 Viewer)

Here's the set with cash colors and new fonts.

Consider using a full-size noodly on one side (love the graphic!), with a larger denomination on the reverse side. Best of both worlds in one chip.

I'd rather a 1200 L1 and L2 set than a 600 L6 and 8 set.

I'd rather have a 1200 L6 and L8 set, even if I need to get 'em 600 chips at a time. Best of both worlds in one set.

Yarg, you're making too much sense. My wallet!

One thing that baffles me is that a 318 is a L3 and a 418 is a L6.

Also a 4V12 is L3 and a 418 is a L6. 4V12 seems like it would take a lot more work than a 418. So overpriced.

....A mold is for Atheism of course... All pastafarians know that!

Oh? I'm an ordained Pastafarian minister as well as an atheist, and I didn't know that.

If you have time to waste pondering such deep thoughts, you aren't spending enough time at the beer fountain.

I don't think it's intention was for the A mold to represent Atheism. It was likely for Atlantic Standard Molding, however, these are surprisingly similar.

Does....that cost more?

I don't think so

This has been addressed several times in recent threads (not just the x18 issue, but how costs are determined for other complex spots, too). The smaller 1/8" spots are much harder to work with (hence more labor charges), and part of the extra cost is due to the available punches -- some spot configurations require several punches to create the pattern (hence more labor charges). It does make sense if you have an understanding of what is required during manufacturing and assembly.

Theoretical example:

Spoiler

a 318 pattern requires one operation with a 318 punch, but a 618 pattern requires two separate aligned punches with the same 318 punch - so twice the labor in making the slug, plus twice the labor in making the inserts, and twice the labor in assembling the parts (and keeping them that way) until compression. Makes the pricing difference between the two almost look tame, if you consider the actual labor costs involved.

I'd supply the actual link for you, but I don't have it bookmarked. I'm sure somebody will be along momentarily to help out.

Oh, and no extra charge for different inlays on each side. (y) :thumbsup:

What BGinGA said. The x18s are tough to make, so they cost more. There is a 318 punch and a 218 punch. For a 418 or the 618 they have to punch 2x.

And no charge for 2 sided chips. Probably the only game in town that doesn't hose you for it.

I really feel like these should be made on the noodle, I mean on the scroll mold.

Ahh, that would work. I'm personally not a fan of the scroll mold at all. The Roman mold however, has it's noodley attributes. I see it's future use is still undecided.

Another idea. Spluge on the workhorse. Bright white $100 with 6A14. New quarter. Not sure if it's too close to the 5k, which are unlikely to be on the t able together.

Seems like everyone so far likes the theme of this set, but I find it as lame as a christian themed set with a Jesus inlay on the B mold for the baptist church.
I'm sure they will turn out nice however. Good luck with the design process.

While one chip represents someone's belief, mine represents my lack of belief. One's an actual church that believes things on faith, the other is a non-church that doesn't.

Think of the flying spaghetti monster like a unicorn only cooler. It doesn't exist, no one really believes it exists, but it'd sure makes for some cool artistry.

It just seems a little preachy and immature to me.

Just because you don't agree with it?

No, just because I think using a thing like pokerchips to proclaim religious, anti-religious or political views are lame.

I have said it several times before and will say it again pleeeeeeese use retro blu instead of dark blue for your 25. Retro blue a beautiful color whereas the dark blue is basically black but looks off. I think DB is very useful as a spot color, just not as a base. Np chance of confusing DB or RB with IMP blue. Also the two tone 614 followed again by the 314 is tilting me. I'm ok with not following spot progression but this isn't working for me. maybe try a two tone 414 hundo using the same colors, followed a 414 T500. Plus it'll give a little more gray on that red which looks really nice.

This advice was great when creating my Donkwood set. so glad i went with Retro blue over Dark blue

I guess it's a good thing that they are his chips and you aren't paying for them then.

Just giving feedback to his ideas like everyone else. He is free to ignore them. If this was a finished set I would not have said anything. Didn't mean to hurt anybodys delicate pastafarian feelings.

That's totally fine. I see how it is kinda preachy. This is why I don't want anything on them that says anything like "he boiled for your sins" or "carbo deim" or "your beliefs are moronic". I feel that if I showed the chip to 100 poker players there might be one who would understand what's on it. For most poker players, it would be a baby octopus or something.

I remember when I first heard of the Flying Spaghetti Monster(love the fact that my iPhone just autocorrected that for me lol). I thought my teacher was just bullshitting us but sure enough it was a real idea. So when I came across this thread I got a little too excited. Love the idea and the design! Almost like an inside joke to those who actually understand lol

Might be a good call. I'll play around once I have some more time. Thanks for the feedback so far... everyone.

This thread flew off the rails jeez

Well, I suppose that's a valid viewpoint, even if it does come off as a bit judgmental.

I have no horse in this race either way, but I do think that some of the best sets out there were created because the subject of the artwork mattered or was important to the creator (whether it was a home town, a lost brother, a favorite game, wine, pet, saying, or whatever). If the theme/artwork/subject is important to the creator, then fuck anybody else who doesn't support or agree with it, because those views aren't important in the least.

No offense.

I'm not sure what you find judgemental about my post, but I agree about the rest of what you write.
I just think that one of the last things I would want at poker night, was that something like my chips would trigger a discussion about religion. Just not my idea of a fun night.

 

[BGinGA]

Me either, so can't argue with that. And if that's all you had said, I doubt any comments would have been made at all, other than agreeing with you.

However, the fact that one wouldn't use them in a home game doesn't mean that creating them is lame, preachy, or immature.

I think these look great. You could even try a 614 spot on the T1000 too but it looks good as a 414 as well.

Like this the best but not crazy how the 100, 500 and 1000 are the same edge spot design since you didn't keep the same design on the 25 and 5000. Imo it would look better to keep the 25 and 5000 with the same edge spot design as the other three or change two of the three edge spots on the 100, 500, 1000...
