Nothing has been merged by mistake, and nothing will be. Line by line? Then why did several parts get merged while the decorated 2x2 tiles are somewhere stuck halfway? Even accepting all the inaccuracies and uncertainties that we got on our plates over the past several weeks, I thought that at least the ONE thing that we could sort of hold on to, was the email that you sent me outlining what was supposed to be round one, but now even THAT turned out to be not true. "When does it start? When does it finish? What round comes next? How many rounds are there?" These and several other questions that I've asked never got any answer, and I accepted that as the way it is. But the ONE thing Bricklink could at least do, is stick to finishing round one before moving on to the next rounds. The way all of this is going..... I couldn't make this up. Things keep on changing and the provided reasons also keep on changing. It is really like a lot of thought has gone into trying to make this whole process as confusing and difficult as possible. There's really no reason I can think of why Bricklink can't simply stick to the promised order and continue doing the tiles, and then move on to the next rounds. (besides the obvious fact all of this should have been a single overnight update, going live when all changes are ready) I guess I will again stop visiting this forum because nothing I have said has been listened to and nothing that I've read turned out to be true. I'll stick to the facebook group, it's much better for my mood and my sanity.
