Damn, I'm late as hell again for sign-ups, but Secret Santa is back for another year! Here's the same ol' rules:
1. Don't sign up if you can't / won't follow through.
2. Sign ups are open until the first(ish) of November, at which time everyone'll be matched up and wish lists will be sent out to their respective Santa.
3. Due to past issues, no super new members allowed. Santas must have a minimum of 25 posts or have a long timer vouch for them.
4. To make life easier for me, please fill in the form below when sending me your info. Keep in mind that the more options your Santa has, the better the chances of him (or her) finding a good deal in the time allotted. Please don't ask Santa for relatively rare games that sell once every 90 days on ebay for reasonable prices; he's on a schedule and can't wait months for a deal to come along.
5. Value of your gift(s) should be in the $30-40 range - real value and not bloated, unsold BIN pricing. (But honestly, isn't EVERYTHING overpriced nowadays?)
6. Gifts should be mailed by December 11th to give the PO two full weeks. If for some reason you won't be able to meet that time frame, please let me know as early as possible so that alternate plans can be made and nobody ends up with an empty yule log.
7. Also related to a past issue, make sure your gift is sent with tracking. If at all possible, it's strongly suggested that you have Santa send your gift to a secure location (work, PO box, a neighbor that's home, or held at the PO); if tracking says it was delivered but your package was stolen off your porch, it's not Santa's problem.
8. This is important and bears repeating: don't sign up if you won't follow through; you fuck this up and I'll shit in your toaster.
9. The most important rule is to have fun!
For extra holiday cheer, one random Santa will be selected to receive something extra in their stocking. I'm not sure what it'll be, but I think everyone that wants 'coal already has it. Any suggestions?
Also, let me know if you don't want to shop for me since it won't exactly be secret.

I'm in. I feel like every year it's harder to make a list lol
-
I hear ya. I just lower my standards... like I do with dating. ;)
-
As always, I'm in! - haha, my list usually consists of toys, crafts and random things rather than new games. :)
-
I'm in man! Will send you a list this weekend.
-
If there's still time, I'll definitely take part! I can send a list in to ya saturday or sunday!
-
I would like to participate again. Seems like the number of participants dwindles with every passing year. I will submit my wishlist over the weekend.

My wishlist has been sent! I actually think this list of 5-10 peeps each year is pretty par for the course on most forums. I'm in 2 other SS events, and it's sometimes just a handful of people (4 people this year?) and it's from a discord group of over 200 people.
Meh, smaller the group, the more odds of everyone getting their stuff before the holiday!
-
It's like pulling teeth to get people's list. Is it that difficult?!?
-
Did you get my list? I just checked my sent messages and there is only one from 2020. Perhaps i need to check the box that says "keep a copy for your records"?
-
Is this still happening? We won't have much time to do shopping and send the gifts out at this point.
-
Sorry, I dropped the ball this year. Everybody should have their recipient and list now.
Good luck to all the Santas!
-
Shit, think i'm too late
-
I can sneak you in yet.
-
Hell yeah
-
My goodness, shipping is taking FOREVER!! I don't mean to spoil this for my recipient, but this year's SS offering might show up just after the actual Xmas this year. :(
I'm super sorry, but if anyone gets theirs a few days later, or even around new years, you'll know why. Curse this year's insanely slow shipping!!
-
Y'all can blame me. I was slow to open signup and assign Santas. I am le dumb, but hopefully everyone will still have a good time.

Merry Xmas! Look at the sweet goodies Santa brought me:

A PCE mix tape, a vhs tape of game ads, Puzznic, Fire Woman Matoigumi, and a couple of neato stickers.
Thanks, Santa Tsuran!
-
Awesome!

Wowow! Santa visited and gave me Turbo stuff!!! Merry Christmas!
