This is also very true
These chips are going to be about $2.25/each. I don’t spend thousands of dollars on chips unless I am getting what I want. As a result, I don’t partake in most group buys because I am not on board with the design. This is just the nature of GBs: not everyone will get what they want in the design so lots of people opt out. Polls are a best attempt to get the broadest appeal. Sometimes it’s a landslide, and sometimes it isn’t. Just the way it goes.It goes without saying that everyone’s desires are different … one of us just wanted to talk about how they came to that conclusion. Not Buying is a pretty hard line in the sand.
In any case, I’m new here and don’t know anything about poker chips … but I do think these will be fantastic!
It really depend on how much your top up and re buyin for your cash game, if your rebuy in is $50/$100 as it more typical in Singapore you will prefer to use $25 chip since we dont have $20 notes.
haha that one is personally preference le, more chip is always better
While polls measure appeal, they don't measure conviction ... which was the point of my original question.

Americans have experienced this conviction phenomenon in recent presidential elections ... the candidate with the highest votes doesn't always make the most voters happy
For example, assume for a moment that nearly all Option 1 voters will now opt out (High Conviction). Option 2 would receive 40+ orders.
Now assume nearly all Option 2 voters planned on buying regardless (Low Conviction). Option 1 would receive 70+ orders.
Regardless of my personal preference, I was just trying to understand the conviction level of Option 2 voters (i.e., would they really walk away from this GB if AFP was removed, and if so, why). All I've received in return is, "everybody makes their own decision" and "not everybody gets what they want" and "that's just the way it is" ... which tells me my original assumption was probably correct.
Does any of this matter? Nope. Does it change anything? Of course not. Do I need to be reminded yet once again that not everybody gets what they want? Not necessarily, but I'm open to hearing it again! As I previously shared, I think both designs are awesome, and I'm grateful for these GB opportunities. I can't imagine the work that goes into them behind the scenes.
Absolutely. The difference, in my opinion, is that Option 1 voters shared their concerns with AFP over the two threads ... it's too corny, too busy (when not viewing on a computer screen), Atlantic City isn't even referred to as AFP anymore, they don't identify with the story behind it, don't like the smaller logo, etc. ... these sound like reasons not to buy to me.
Agreed wholeheartedly, and it's the one I would have voted for!
Seems to me like you've been reading a little too much into some things, and not enough into others. First of all I have seen zero posts of "tough luck bud, you lost". And I did already tell you that the reason I'm going to buy a set is because of the AFP decal artwork. Now logically, should my reason for buying be removed by Option 1 winning, I would revert back to my default of not buying. There are actual reasons posted in this thread and the initial poll thread why people prefer Option 2, but if you want to ignore or dismiss them, that's fine I guess.
100% agreed. I only want $20s in my cash game sets. Even on deep starting stacks, they just work out better. Obviously some will disagree, but that's why a lot of custom designed sets offer both.
Okay, then. Good luck with that.While polls measure appeal, they don't measure conviction ... which was the point of my original question.

no we know the real reason the design tool was rereleased.
If there are only chips of $ 100 as the maximum value on the table, it's still a small game
wouldn't a $1 be useful in this progression? base10?
