Sultan Republic: Treasury Edition by Ellusionist

[Aaron]

@Aaron, please don't blame me for something I didn't do. I actually wasn't the one who revealed the name or anything about the deck. I believe it was Lazarus who did it.
.

What!? I said I didnt see anything wrong with what you did!

But after reading all this I do you pretty much lied to the community and anyone who was considering purchasing.



anyway has anyone discovered the other product? I am guessing uncuts of one of the sultan decks.

[Don Boyer]

I'm going to sleep now. I'll be back here in the morning to continue repeating myself over and over again.

Evan, please don't.

We've gone WAAAAAY off topic with this.  At this point, neither side will be convincing the other that they're in the right, so there's no point in continuing this here.  If you or anyone else wants to keep running laps around this issue, I beg of you, TAKE IT TO THE LOLAQ.  This includes the WHOLE peanut gallery, not just Evan.  (It even includes me, though at this point I'm disinclined to continue - I said my piece, there's nothing more to discuss unless some new facts come to light.)

Thank you in advance for your consideration.

So there are at least 2 other products linked to the sultan deck? One being the treasury deck and the other is unknown to those who have not broke the code? This is interesting. I might just buy one to break the code. I love codes.

Which came first, "per order" or "per person"?

"per order" was first. And I bought 6 decks(2 orders). A guy named Hikeeba on ebay has at least 2 bricks of these.

Evan, everything after "'per order' was first" belongs in the LOLAQ.  Got it?  We're done with it here.  Kindly take it there if you want to continue - last warning.

All I did was make a comment... an on topic comment. This is the Sultan Treasury deck thread, right? But ok, whatever you say.

This whole thing is blown out of proportion... So what Evan is selling these decks, he is simply providing a way to get the decks to people that don't have the link at a profit. Nothing is wrong with that at all...

So, since all that's off-topic - what do YOU think of the DECK ITSELF, John?  And not the other crap that belongs elsewhere?

[john]

This deck is beautiful... It's like series 1800 and sultan had sex, while artifice was watching praying the baby was beautiful and it was...

I don't like the 3 deck limit though, a 6 deck limit would be perfect though .

Already posted my opinion days ago

According to the E facebook page, the Sultan Treasury decks will be available to all, tonight at 8pm Eastern time.

That's going to piss a lot of people off, and make a lot of people happy.

Aww. Pretty lame. 

To make this post not seem like spam, I'll just say these cards look nicer in fans than the regular sultans

This is just my opinion, but I think E really had no choice but to unlock this deck/link for everyone.   E got cornered with people on one side selling the decks on ebay for a higher profit or revealing the link to everyone..........and on the other side I'm sure a lot of pissed off customers who felt cheated by having this deck/link revealed the way it did.   The surprise has been ruined for everyone who bought the original Sultan decks and have spent their time trying to decipher the codes and follow the clues.   It becomes hard for companies to come up with neat ideas regarding their products.   It looks like they wanted to try making it be more than just a deck of cards.   Throw a little bit of fun and mystery into the mix.   Make it a little more interesting and be unique.   They tried, but when people are not gonna follow the rules and ruin it for everyone.   What else can they do?   What else can they try to be different and unique from other companies?   Just some thoughts of mine after seeing how this all unfolded. 


As with the cards, I do not currently have either deck.   Was kinda waiting for the whole Black Friday/Holiday thing.   But I do plan on getting a couple of each deck.   I really do like the whole thing with customizing the inside of the tuck box.   I think its a nice touch.   Yeah, the map is on the inside and you really cant see it.   But I still like it and think its a neat idea.   Just like with the Altruism deck and how they simple colored the inside of the tuck box purple.   I thought that was different and sharp as well.   Soo, I am curious to see how this all unfolds tonight.   Only 2500 decks available.   What are your guys thoughts...........Do you think they will still limit the number of decks per person since they are revealing this to everyone?   Do you think this deck will sell out very quickly?   Will E or other companies try this again with having clues to find and mysteries to be solved?   I guess we will see tonight as well how things play out with the Altruism deck here in the future.

I feel that, just like the White Monarchs, if they are very limited in a release window, the follow few days will see overinflated prices on eBay then they'll quickly die down a fair bit in price after that.

update on the shipping situation:

Im sorry I cant tell you what another companies business model or shipping rates are compared to ours. I asked the warehouse to get the actual cost to ship your package via UPS and it came to $8.68 so I refunded you in paypal $2.46

- Jennifer.

not a huge refund but I didn't really expect any refund so I can't complain. Hopefully E can take care of the whole situation and keep its customers happy. Overall I think they handled the situation pretty well, with realizing their mistake through these forums and eventually taking some responsibility and helping their customers. $8.68 is still pretty high for shipping but E has always had pretty high shipping rates so it's not a big surprise.

Yep! I shared the link when it was supposed to be shared. Unlike you, who shared the link when it was not supposed to be shared.

Back on topic: I am glad to see that the shipping prices are back to normal. Sadly I had to pay $11.95 for domestic shipping last week 

[vmagic]

Only cost me like 6 bucks for shipping to Canada.

[Siegismyname]

I reckon that they released the link because they are a business after all. Which business would print decks and not sell them to the public. It was only a matter of time before they released the link.

[lordlupus]

I am happy that I waited. Now I can buy the nicer Treasury Edition at reasonable price instead of been screwed by flippers or fellow board member.

And the best part is I do not even need to buy the normal edition.

from a business standpoint, keeping it a secret had the potential to work out for future decks, being able to market future secrets effectively based on the past success of the deck and how keeping it a secret could have made it so only the people who bought the first deck would've gotten the second. Unfortunately it didn't work out like that, but if it did it could've been a good thing for future sales on decks.

this is of course only my opinion, but I figure that's what they were going for

Quite true. I didnt think of that. I still havent placed an order as it just didnt connect with me with the custom pips and stuff. There are still no review of this deck. Hmmmmmm.

[sr15]

in the situation where the deck was kept a secret and sold out before being completely available, everyone and their mother would buy the next deck by E that had a "secret" because they would want the chance to get a rare deck.
