JonasHeinemanThanks, @JonasHeineman!
This, my friends, is why we make these comments and earnestly push for more of what works (and less of what doesn't). @JonasHeineman pulled another rabbit out of his hat on this one. Sure, there have been some drops in the writing community that were "duds", but having a staff (and buyer) who is so quickly responsive to the community's requests, thanks members for corrections, admits when he/they make mistakes - these are all attributes necessary for the solid foundation of a retail company. Also, many of the drops have been very thoughtful and either the direct result of polls or inspired by polls and the purchasing tendencies of the community.
That said, there are also many people behind the scenes who help to put these together. Without the efforts of several people, these drops wouldn't happen. Although listed as a "new" drop (with the first few price thresholds to overcome), this is really a continuation of the previous drop. That's FAST.
Additionally, the announcement of the extension includes the qualifiers that there is still a limited quantity and that one color is out of stock from the start.
Now that I have sung the praises of the company, please allow me to point out some errors:
1. While the updated post from @JonasHeineman alerts us to certain limitations, the primary copy in the "description" has changed only in offering the English names of the inks (and not the corresponding German name, this time). This matching was done by a conscientious member in an earlier post. Folks should refer to that if confused.
2. Unfortunately, when the description writing is wrong or misleading, it takes a while to get the corrections posted (if they're posted at all). This is NOT a part of the drop that @JonasHeineman controls - it's a different department. But I have noticed that "official description" copy is getting a bit sloppy and does not show the same kind of responsiveness seen by Mr. Heineman and co.
I hope this helps folks considering participation in this drop and other drops from the writing community.
Cheers.
Periodically edited. Opinions are mine. Any affiliations, if present, are clearly marked. Contrary to what may seem as "inside knowledge" I have none about Massdrop or anyone's job responsibilities beyond what is publicly published. I just know it takes more than 1 or 2 people to make a drop work. "Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read. " - Groucho Marx

Thanks for the first 200 people who joined and the 280 who requested a re-launch right away for making this possible! There is enough ink for 206 more participants on this round.
