Narl Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 It can't refer to what I think it reefers to, can it? I guess it could. But why? Why here? And what does the first number mean? Search dug up no clues. Can someone explain the X/420 thing I see in various signatures? Surely it is something obvious that I am missing.

soltakss Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 It's the number of the Limited Edition copy of BRP Zero that they bought. There were only 420 printed, each was numbered, and people are so proud that they advertise that they bought it. Sort of like Personalised Numberplates, but not as cool.

Merak Gren Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Cooler! SGL. In the eraly days some of us were afraid that BRP might end up as vapourware and it helpful to know who had what and how many had been sold. I don't have many collectors editions, but BRP Zero, warts and all is one I am proud of. Quote Likes to sneak around 115/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tedopon Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I already knew what it referred to without reading that forum post. I hope it's there as a bit of dessicated sarcasm, but I'm inclined to think not. Quote 121/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narl Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 So why were 420 copies printed? Seems an odd number. I picked up 129/420 second hand. Does that give me permission to wear the badge? Quote 129/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narl Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 (edited) That is the first thing I thought of, but didn't know if it was intentional. Did no one pick up on my witty typo in my original post? It can't refer to what I think it reefers to, can it? I was trying to be subtle.
