VGCollect 2023 Secret Santa!

[koemo1]

Count me in, so if you need some PAL or European games, add it to the wishlist

[telly]

This may be the most international year we've had yet!

[NickAwesome]

Just signed up!  I always have so much fun with this!  Glad we can keep this tradition going!

[dhaabi]

For any who are on the fence about joining, there is one week left to sign up!

For those who've already signed up, the votes for advised spending limit are seven for $60 USD and one for $80 USD. At this point, it's likely that the former will be the suggested guideline. How does everyone feel about that?

[kashell]

60 is fine by me.

[telly]

That works for me! Super excited to start the hunt for my Santa!

[masamune]

$60 is fine with me as well.

[Cartagia]

Yup, good for me.

[kashell]

There's a definite small but (hopefully) mighty interest this year.

For those who are still holding out on joining, there's about one day left to do so. Below is the sign-up form for the sake of convenience.

By Tuesday, I'll have formed Santa/giftee pairs and will be forwarding all participants via PM with relevant information about their giftee! I've already gone through previous event discussions to observe past pairs. So, I'll try my best to form new pairs despite the limited participation and with the knowledge I have.

Are you doing 1-1 pairs (x:y and y:x) or are you just assigning people randomly (accounting for international preferences)?

The latter, so randomly based on shipping preferences. From what I've observed in past discussions, that's how it's been handled. Organizing pairs the former way negates the "secret" part of Secret Santa, since every participant would know who's shopping for them once they're forwarded their own giftee wish list information.

[dhaabi]

The sign-up period has ended, and I've just forwarded giftee information to all Santas. If anyone has any questions of any kind, direct them to me via PM.

To keep things moving steadily along and to ensure gifts arrive on time through transit, packages should be mailed by November 15 at the latest. Happy shopping, everyone!

[telly]

I've gone through and made a list of some games to take with me while out hunting in person and online! Looking forward to it! Have fun everyone!

Initiating the best part of the journey: game shopping for others!
