Well Cablerunner you also have to think they may be time based cause Patchy said he played the chess game for 10 years and never won,, IF we take him at his word about this since he did say towards the end that the only thing that he lied about was being Dharma, then he would have never had an oppratunity (sp sorry Tesssa) to order suppplies...

Another thought is that the sonar and the satillite have only been out since the swan imploded so then the last drop would have already been dropped... The only problem then would be ordering a pallet now that communications are down..
