Post by: soera on September 21, 2015, 02:48:04 pm
All right, its almost that time of year ... Christmas. Im putting up a thread to see if people are interested in round 3 of Secret Santa. Ive noticed a lot of people that have been with us for a while havent really been too active here lately and not sure who all still enjoys this.

If you want to participate this year, please post your name on this thread. I want people to have been members of these forums for at least 3 months prior to this and some sort of activity here. We have had 2 years so far of 100% success and would like to make it a 3rd.

If it's anything like the fun last year, I'm down.

But...it's not even October yet. Premature Postmaking is a terrible disease. XD

I mean people do need time to find gifts  ::)

Anyways I'm in, never done a secret santa online before so I'd love to see what happens! If you want any help Soera I've run approx. 5 offline secret santas so I'm here if needed.

I'm sooooo in. I've been excited to do this ever since I signed up! :) Good thing I'll have been on the forums for three months this 26th.

Though if you include my first account I've been around since May.

Lol fair enough ... but I have a ton of games coming out in the next couple of months and I dont want to forget about this.  :o

Also, Deso posted links to the last 2 years if anyone wants to see how they went/read the rules/etc.

Once it gets closer to time to do this (I think both of the last 2 I started the first week of November but this year Im going to be in Florida for the first 2 weeks of Nov so I may start the list a tad early instead of later), we can discuss a spending limit, who is willing to ship overseas, gift ideas, etc.

well.. as long as living in the United Kingdom doesn't mess with the plans.

Last year, I think there were two people that lived in the UK and participated so they ended up shipping to each other. It takes the secret part away from the secret santa, but it still allowed folks outside of the USA to participate. So, hopefully you'll be good to go. ^^

I definitely want in the secret santa this year!  :)

Maybe if we get more than 2 people from the UK to participate, or if some people are willing to ship overseas, maybe that will make things a little more unexpected?

So is there still room for an European lad?

I'm in this year if there's room.
Title: Re: Interest in Secret Santa 2015 inquiry
Post by: tafk on September 22, 2015, 05:13:45 pm
Honestly I believe there should be room for everyone. Secret Santa is really something that can be easily scaled.
Title: Re: Interest in Secret Santa 2015 inquiry
Post by: rayne315 on September 22, 2015, 06:44:38 pm
I'm in depending on the spending limit.
Title: Re: Interest in Secret Santa 2015 inquiry
Post by: telly on September 22, 2015, 07:57:27 pm
I think ~$30 was the limit last year? Obviously shipping would have to be taken into account too. Is that the amount we're doing this year too?

This sounds like fun, I'm probably going to be the guy hard to shop for. lol
I kinda feel sorry for the guy/gal who gets me. lol
Pretty much if you see something not in my collection, I'll be happy to receive it.  ;)
Someone might get a cool game from my garage sale pick ups.  ;)
sign me up, just let me know when the dead line is (I assume before Christmas)  :P
And i'll do my best to see that they do not have it by looking in their collection list.

Someone who has a lot of things is hard, but believe me, someone who doesn't list what they have can be really hard too  ::)  I had to find a gift for Matt 2 years ago, and I had so much trouble haha. It was fun too, though :)
