does anyone have the email address for santaganzaa?

Santa Ganza Rules and Regs...

That should answer most if not all of your questions.

And don't believe ANYTHING that isn't posted by "Jerry Busse" with his name in red and "moderator" below his name. There are lots of impostors, and lots of tricksters who will try to fake you out.

It's actually getting quite ridiculous over there. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Right on M/M!!! Jerry even encouraged imposters to do their dirty work, as a form of "fun". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> I don't see the fun in confusing and misleading folks, but it's his Ganza! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> And I'm going to try anyway! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

the email address's seem a little fishy

That's all you have to go on. If you don't trust Jerry's official rules post then there's nothing anyone can do to help you.

Ok, as I read that back to myself it sounds kind of curt, sorry, it's not meant to be.

The hogs over on Blade Forums will never give you a straight answer. That's not the case here. We're trying to help all the dogs succeed in this thing. So here's the best advice...

Read through that post I linked to carefully and do what it says. That's what anyone who wants to succeed in this will do.

And good luck bro, I hope you score big! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I actually really enjoy the shenanigans. I didn't at first, but I have opened up to the utter ridiculousness of it.

I have accepted that ridiculous is part of the ride when it comes to Busse stuff. Honestly, NOT ONE SINGLE INFI blade I own is worth what I paid for it. Realistically, I could get the same performance for the tasks I use knives for, at a fraction of the price. So when I pay the big bucks for INFI, it's done for reasons that are not at all practical or reasonable or sensible. And the way Jerry runs his business is not practical or reasonable or sensible. And NOTHING about ganzaaaaaaas is practical or reasonable or sensible.


HOG Treachery is amusing. In the case of this free ganzaa it's a little different, but for a regular ganzaa it's the very definition of absurd. I mean, people going to all this effort to trick one another... for the right to what? BUY an incredibly over-priced piece of steel. It's theater of the absurd, and I have come to embrace it.

One more thing...

If you can, stay away from the Busse forum until tomorrow night. Jerry's posted all the info he's going to and everything you're going to read from here on out is meant to trick you and take you out of the running. I'm going to take my own advice and stay in the yard until the time comes.

It'll help me sleep better tonight! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

There you go. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

To each his own M/M! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I also enjoy the way things are done over here in the yard - you'll notice I have only ever proxy'ed for other Dogs, and I will give straight answers over here while participating in the treachery over here. I embrace the mentality of the place I'm posting.


And I post here a lot more often than I do the Busse boards on bladeforums <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
