For those who are embarking on new moley swaps, My husband has helped me to create the PERFECT mailing order for 10 players, wherein each player gets each book exactly once & each player sends to each other player exactly once (except for the last person, who sends a book back to the owner). No repeats. You will get a moley from a different player each month, so your art is never following the same artist order in any of the books. I will post it here with letters A-J. You can assign one to each player & use this template.

1- A -J-B-I-C-H-D-G-E-F-A
2- B-A-C-J-D-I-E-H-F-G-B
3- C-B-D-A-E-J-F-I-G-H-C
4- D-C-E-B-F-A-G-J-H-I-D
5- E-D-F-C-G-B-H-A-I-J-E
6- F-E-G-D-H-C-I-B-J-A-F
7- G-F-H-E-I-D-J-C-A-B-G
8- H-G-I-F-J-E-A-D-B-C-H
9- I-H-J-G-A-F-B-E-C-D-I
10- J -I-A-H-B-G-C-F-D-E-J

I started a color key to show how each person's moley moves through each mailing. You get the idea. This seems simple, but it can be a real brain-buster to come up with an order that works... without repeating. Hope this is useful to some of you out there.

The perfectionist in me could not leave this half-done. Here is the full color version. Makes it easier to see how the order shifts.

1- A -J-B-I-C-H-D-G-E-F-A
2- B-A-C-J-D-I-E-H-F-G-B
3- C-B-D-A-E-J-F-I-G-H-C
4- D-C-E-B-F-A-G-J-H-I-D
5- E-D-F-C-G-B-H-A-I-J-E
6- F-E-G-D-H-C-I-B-J-A-F
7- G-F-H-E-I-D-J-C-A-B-G
8- H-G-I-F-J-E-A-D-B-C-H
9- I-H-J-G-A-F-B-E-C-D-I
10- J -I-A-H-B-G-C-F-D-E-J

Sorry, Corrie. We didn't figure it out until after yours started (We were a few days behind you). I think that my engineer of a husband is the real genius. I wanted to color code it, so people could see the beauty of the pattern. It is 1 forward, one back (if that makes sense to you). I checked every moley thread before us. Not one had figured out the perfect pattern. But, here it is for all future moley swaps.
