[Eco] regarding the pledge card...

[Andy Looney]

I'd just like to note that we never really meant to have these extra pledge 
cards as such. Due to an unfortunate error on the part of our card printer, 
the pledge card in the EcoFluxx deck got screwed up, and to make it up to 
us, our printer ran off a pile of replacement cards for us to insert, 1 
each, into each deck, as a sort of patch. (It's a painful subject for us, 
as you might imagine.) Anyway, they made us a lot more of them than we 
needed, so we've been looking for creative ways to use them. If we'd been 
making these specifically as handouts, they'd have been different, but we 
had to take them as they made them...
