uh... how do I deal with bundles?
Reroll?
Remove and leave the single items in?
Use everything?
Roll a number within the bundle?
if you have Bundles added, split them into each item in the list, or do like I did before I took the time to split, use about 1/2 of the bundle +/- 15%-ish).
Or as you said roll inside the bundle. (The bundles were easier before when they held a few items (except Platinum club ones), but now with ten items, you will drown trying to use all.
But I recommend splitting them up in the list as separate items.
I did split my bundles (I thought) but when (not if) I find one unsplit I split it, and then picks a random item within, just as you said, but split it for the next run.
/ Totte
If I were you I would roll inside the bundle.
...or you could follow the rules (that I don't read... ;o) which say...
@Totte - all together, and in a pantomime audience voice, "It's behind you!"
@Tynkere - that's a clever take on the 'moving' theme!

Exile
When mobster Big Ronny Rumoroso was exiled to the lovely tropical isle of San Cristobal, he dreamed of spending the rest of his years as a gentleman farmer. Considering his conviction on 99 counts of racketeering, he thought it was getting a pretty sweet deal. Upon arrival, however, he was dismayed to discover that the "natives" were not the happy and carefree types who would let him live as he pleased.

Thanks. Twice I’ve had to use volleyball tutorial set. Glad to have this one out of the way.
@Totte
Also thanks!
@Luci45
Lineup wall, passports, photo ID, and guards with tommy guns. Gives new meaning to ‘native customs.’ I’ll bet their airports are *really* bad. ;)

Haha, lots of slamkrypares for 3dcheapskate and a TOS-breaker to boot!
Thanks, Tynkere.
3dcheapskate #1 This one is so much fun! I'm glad you used the flamingos, one of my favorite freebies.
3dcheapskate #2 (You've been busy!) So weird. I love it!
Totte#01 It finally finished? I hate rendering interiors. I wonder who, or what, will make it to the next round.
Tynkere #1 You and Gopherus always have such great stories with your very nutty renders. You should do a comic book.

@luci45 - Very clever! 'Hoist with his own petard' I think...
Very clever use of that pull, impressive, and a grest result!
Here's my render for my multi-repull pull 3, probably entitled "Yes, That Box - You Know The One...":
#1b - 437 - Dream Home: Breakfast Nook Furniture -- London Eclectic
#2 - 378 - Decorative Boxes
#3d - 430 - Dread and Dead Helmets
#4b - 994 - Millennium Horse Texture Pack 1
LB1 - 34 - Advanced Shaders 1.5 ...Used on the shader for the truck. Or was it ? Itdoesn'treally matter because it's been replaced with the chain items - flamingos and windmill
Edit: Modified to include a couple of chain items ...
(crosslink to entry thread)
Which is your "Chain item?"
Errrr... what's a chain item ?
In the meantime, here's my pull #4:
#1 - 31 - Ace of Spades Jack ...an M4 outfit, good start!
#2 - 1526 - This n That Extravaganza 1 ...DAZ Store can't find it -a bundle from the PC anniversary sale - way back in the old days (Dark Designs - Volume 2, GIS Nova, GIS Terminal, Lisa's Botanicals - Climbing Vines, Resplendent Tresses, Stellar)
#3 - 990 - Millennium Girls ...DAZ Store can't find it - probably too old. PreTeen/PreSchool characters (V1/2 texture-compatible).Got it!
#4 - 1241 - Ruffle Bikini Textures ...don't have the bikini
#4b - 337 - Dark Ops Ready-to-Render Bundle ...DAZ Store can't find it. One of the DS 4 freebie bundles - contains: Dark Ops Ready to Render Scene(.DUF); Victoria 4.2 Base; Victoria 4 gw 5 female texture; De Roca Hair; Tango Down V4; Michael 4 Base; Michael 4 Skin Maps (High Res); Michael 4 Creature Creator Morphs; AFC for Men; Loading Dock)
455 - DSON Importer for Poser BETA (Inactive) ...don't use DSON
LB1 - 943 - Mermaid ...DAZ Store can't find it - probably too old. It's the old V1/2 era stand-alone mermaid.Got it!
Edit: and of course a couple of 'chain items'...
Oh lordy, this one's sooo obvious now !
From the first page: " But let us add just another twist to it. For any pull except the first, you decide a chain story item from any previous entry. That item will be a substitute for one of the pulled items, so list all the pulled items, then decide which item to substitute. For entry #3, you can pick from entry #1 or #2 etc etc, so the chain item can change, and come back later on."
So maybe I need to go and actually read the rules properly !
As my mother always says: "If everything else fail, read the manual"
Rules read (at least that bit of them) and understood. So I have a feeling that the "flameengos of flamenco" will be appearing in a re-render of that last (third) entry.
Fixing my second entry won't be so easy, as I've already deleted the scene and flat Vicky. But I like a challenge... (I think?)
Thanks, Totte and 3dcheapskate.
@3DCheapskate
That sets the bar pretty high. Reminds me of Pratchett's "The Luggage" where all kinds of things could get gobbled up, yet it could serve up a nice set of pressed clothes for Rincewind the "wizzard" (only person in the school of magic who has the misspelled word on his hat fwiw)
@Luci45
Thanks! @Gopherus is more clever at working in books, movies & things. Very subtle. Been drawing (or attempting to draw) 'underground' style counterculture comics since 1980's. "Keep Austin Weird" meant some of us weren't in the Young Republicans' club. ;-)
Don't blame me... you asked for it !
Chain items added to my second and third renders.
Third render:
(image uploaded to original post earlier on this page)
Second render - had to get a bit creative as I no longer have the original scene:
"My little dahhlings, you've done eet ! Without err mesh she won't be able to put on any of err vampire unting outfits ! Eeen fact she'll be totally useless ! Now bury err mesh ere along with that stupid windmill"
(image uploaded to original post on p1 of this thread)
I love these, especially #2! "bury err mesh..."
Thank you Luci - the flamingos seem to be taking over !
Speaking of which, here's a render for pull 4.
But I'm not quite sure how this relates to the "What Can Go Wrong When Moving" theme - but give me a few hours and I might come up with something.
Edit: I needed a good nights sleep, but here's some text that might shoehorn it into the theme... at a push!
The Lair Of The Pink Flamingo
Space-Dad: "Okay kids, you already know that this used to be an evil mastermind's evil lair, so it'll need a bit of redecorating."
(Aside, to his Space-Wife): "Why do you think the estate agents moved the flamingos? We told them that the kids liked liked them as they were ? "
Younger kid, pointing: "Mummy ! Daddy ! There's somebody hiding there behind the dolls' house !
FX: ...sound of old rusty mechanism being turned*...
What I used from the pull, specifically from the two bundles:
#1 - 31 - Ace of Spades Jack
#2 - 1526 - from "This n That Extravaganza 1" - Lisa's Botanicals - Climbing Vines, Resplendent Tresses, and Stellar
#3 - 990 - Millennium Girls
#4b - 337 - from "Dark Ops Ready-to-Render Bundle"- the Loading Dock (also M4 base and V4 base)
LB1 - 943 - Mermaid
Chain items: Flamingos and Windmill from the Lawn Ornaments of my original pull
I think I need to take a break, so no pull 5... yet !
(crosslink to entry thread)
*This makes a lot tiny bit more sense** if you read Mr Drac's explanation of exactly how his Veeendmeeell Of Terroooor works.
**If you think the word 'sense' applies to this nonsense !
@3DCheapskate
Fishing for mermaids. I'd wondered what flamingos eat. :)

Moving Made Easy: The Horseless Carriage
The local renaissance club was facing an unplanned move-- Eviction Notice! While Sir Samurai and Sir Chevalier were having fun smiting one another with the cleaning implements, Lady Monique was hoping to raise some money. If she could make a self propelled wagon, people might buy into the idea. If only she had a carriage. A Horseless... Oh nevermind. Better start packing!

@Tynkere - Lawnmower power is the future !
@luci45 - Koo !*
And I'm at a loose end here, so... pull #5:
#1 - 1501 - The Lilithai Strigoia Accessories
#2 - 509 - Evening Star Dress ...for V4
#3 - 1319 - Simply Olympia Poses ...for G2f...but poses are fun - they sometimes do amusing things if you apply them to the wrong character so I'll try using this Ah! That's DS and DSON only, so repull
3b - 875 - Lovey Bear Re-energized ...no longer in the DAZ Store but "...Lovey Bear Re-energized morphs into a panda, koala, bunny, owl, pig, and more..." - I bet it doesn't do flamingo !
#4 - 656 - Gothika Shrine
LB1c** -640 - GIS Nova
P.S. Is there a limit on the number of entries you make make ?
*for the unenlightened: 'Koo!' and the 'Nomad Module' - see Кин-дза-дза! (Kin Dza-Dza!) from 9m25s to 11m20s...
**I had to repull my LB twice - LB1a (Summer Time Textures) and LB1b (Dark Barding Textures) are for stuff I don't have
I thought of KLF when I saw Luci's render. Now, who will understand why?
Thanks, Totte and 3dcheapskate. KLF and Кин-дза-дза? I had to Google both of them. RRRR is very educational. The movie looks wonderfully strange. Russian dystopian SciFi. Definitely where Petipet got the module. LOL. KLF - wow, great videos! And so weird.
This is the one in particular... the cow, in the window, "we're all bound for moo moo land"
Yes indeed! I think it looks like a luci render the whole video!
