...I would get in, for the first 10 minutes or so. Then, 25 minutes later, I was #98 (someone must have dropped out because my wife went from 24 to 23) so for the first half an hour, she services 1 person while hundreds of others wait. then, for the next hour and a half, she gets, maybe, and this is a strong maybe, 1 person for every minute.
Only a side note, and possible explanation to why you or your wife didn't move much for a while...
Hula likely lowered the room capacity after the first group was in there (this is common among all Hosts). That means, that while you weren't moving, the first 10 people got their pins. Once that 10th person left, then the first person in queue got in - from then on the room capacity was 6 (I believe), including Hula.
So, to correct the math, during the first 25 minutes 10 people got their pins. This is also the time frame that Hula had a disconnection, so the average time to begin with was definitely slower. She obviously picked up a lot of slack over the next 1 1/2 hour, though, considering her overall average trade time.
I do see your arguments and understand what you're trying to say. I don't think Hula should be punished for having internet issues - they're not her fault, and she does a very good job with any event she runs. I do think it would be a punishment if she were limited to only specific types of events - we would be too! It's likely there wouldn't have been a pin trade event at all this month had Hula not suggested one.
Have a great Tuesday, all!
