Thanks for the tips, folks! And yes, cmonyall, that's exactly what I imagined happening! Thank God we did eventually break the cycle, but he sent me at least five more than I needed.

I ended up doing somethig similar to the third reply -- sending him one batch of five pools plus a "thank you" gift (that cost a couple of piastres, can't remember what it was) and hoping he'd get the message. He sent five more pools. Ha. But we've both stopped sending them now so I think we're good. I have no idea if he got the award because I never actually saw any pools on his island (I always kept mine in a very obvious place, so people might notice I was collecting them, and then I demolished all of them as soon as the award triggered). I think he was collecting them in his warehouse to build them all at once.

Too bad they're charing piastres for name changes because that would be an excellent way to send a message.
