After being on Discord last year, Secret Santa is back on the forums! 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.
6. Gifts should be mailed by December 9th 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 nothing but tears and empty dreams under their festivus pole.
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 poop on your front porch and rape your toaster.
9. The most important rule is to have fun!
For extra holiday cheer, one random Santa will be selected to receive 'coal in their stocking and ...... I gotta come up with something other than the poster. If you don't want (or already have) either of these goodies, please note accordingly on the form below.
Also, let me know if you don't want to shop for me since it won't exactly be secret.

I'm in, will get a list together soon.
-
I'm in like a shin.
Wooo!
Also, holy FUUUUUUU, I can't believe it's already Secret Santler season!!
-
I'm in man! Thanks again for doing this like always.
-
Oh hell yeah, in
-
:icon_cat_derpy:
to be clear, I am in :P
-
Bumps for Santa humps!
-
When is the deadline for lists?
-
When is the deadline for lists?
End o' the month or so, so Santa has a month-ish to shop.
-
Bumps! About a week to go, folks!
Instead of the poster, how does a copy of Hypernova Blast sound? Or do y'all already have one?

I do have Hypernova Blurpst, but I already have the poster too, so I was out of the bonus kun giveaway anyway! :D
-
What about Meteor Blaster and Implode? I could sub them for HNB.
-
Time's running out, guys. I hope you're making your lists and checking them twice. :duran:
-
Great news for me, Keith finished up the repairs and screen mod to my Turbo Express. So I'll be able to play any sweet US hueys that Santa might send. :mrgreen:
Edit: Gredler stole it from me, but I'm looking to procure a US console to play all the US hueys I already have as well. Heh.
-
Last minute bump and reminder! Get yo' lists in, Santas!
-
10 peeps is a pretty good number! I hope everyone gets what they wanted for XMAS! :D
-
XMas gifts and XTRAS ordered! Will be a happy recipient I'd wager O0 O0 O0 O0

Same!
I'm even including a nice bonus of something I already had on hand.
-
I'm in shopping mode now, a couple hard to find titles but also some more common ones. Here's hoping for fast shipping :D
-
Bumps!
I hope y'all are close to done shopping. There's only three weeks to go!
-
I'm waiting on the last game to get to me. If it takes too much longer I might have to send the gifts priority to make sure they arrive in time.
-
I hope people get their stuff on time this year, but I'm not too worried if they don't. This year had a lot of slowpokes (myself included) so peeps were paired up a couple weeks later than usual.
I'd rather people had fun and found the goodies they wanted to gift, rather than being harried and pissed off. I'm sure we all get enough of that in real life. :yuki:
-
The last of the gifts I ordered arrived over the weekend, so now i need to wrap, craft something up, and put it on the sleigh.
Happy holidays everyone!

Craft something up eh? hmmmmmm...
Me too!! I hope my recipient is into, *erm* pantsu editions!! ;)
Ho! Ho! Ho!

I’m all in for next year!

I had to ship a few things today and from what I gathered from the PO, mail has been very prompt this year and even if you shipped as late as this Thursday, you'd likely still be able to get a package across the country in time for Xmas for a decent price. :)
It's never too late.
-
The last piece of the puzzle came in today's mail, so mine's finally heading out. Just in time! :pray:
My gift from Santa also arrived today. :dance:
-
The reindeers took the package yesterday, so it's in flight to the recipient. I hope everyone enjoys their gifts and has a very happy holiday!
-
I think my Secret Santa gift arrived today (can't remember if I have any eBay items coming in)..gonna wait until Christmas to open the box since I don't know if it is wrapped inside the box. Thank you in advance!
-
I made sure to wrap what I sent in Christmas wrapping so hopefully that should avoid confusion.
-
If it's from the land of corn, it's also festively wrapped inside and safe to open the packaging.
-
My recipient can expect their package to be wrapped up as well!
No opening until AT LEAST OBEYmas eve!
;)
-
The contents of my box are wrapped as well, happy turbo holidays! :)
-
Happy holidays and merry Christmas everyone! I received my gifts from Santa, and will post pics once i am opening them - thanks santa!!
-
I got Godzilla, Power Golf and Super Volleyball. I'll enjoy the sports games a lot. Seriously, no joke I will likely put big hours on them. Don't remember if Godzilla was on my list or not. Big oops for me if it was as I don't like this kind of game. If it was on there I must have thought it was something else. :-[ :-[ :-[
Edit: I don't mean to sound negative, so I hope this comes off right. I'm happy with what I got just trying to confirm I messed up.

Like every year, my SS truly hit it out of the park! I asked for something hand made or crafty this year and I was not disappointed in the least! <3 Was so excited to find this rokken TG poster as well as the PC Engine mug, omg- I'm so damn happy! *sips hot cocoa* Not to mention, I need to dust off my cassette deck to listen to this PCE Music mix!! Thank you so much!
Here are some pics:

As an added bonus, here is what I got in the mail from DragonMasterDan as we did a little gift exchange this year as well!

The big shocker was on Xmas morning when I saw this hanging in our tree!! I am still trying to figure out how Santa knew exactly what I wished for on Obeymas, but I won't question it too much! haha I'm a lucky guy!

Dude, so cool!

Santa this year, as each prior year, has been too good to me! Too much cool stuff, thank you for the excessive generosity!
This year Santa sounds like he came frome the south pole, where it's hot and full of metal! I immediately knew what types of games would be in the package when I saw the shipping label:
(https://i.imgur.com/QFT49x7.jpg)
It was packed superbly, and each gift inside was labeled with a funny anecdote.

The first one is a banger!! Wow, I've only ever played this on emulation, having judged this great book by its cover BITD. I have always wanted to take some serious cracks at this, and possibly get some friends to play along. Thanks Santa, what a great start!

Can't have a new set of games to play without a shooter in the mix! The style and setting of this game seems so interesting and unique in it's cute way. I've never played it, and can't wait to check it out!

Santa sent a bonus!! A home brew that I've only heard of and never seen or played, I am super pumped to check out what this is! I need to look into the developers more, this seems like such a professional package! I spent a large chunk of my day fixing my Duo-R in hopes I can play this and some other CD games I've recently gotten.
But the coupe de grace, even before opening it, was this next and final gift - you went over the top getting this one for me Santa - bar down!!

This might come as a surprise, but I fricken love hockey games. TV Sports Hockey is what I grew up knowing as the hockey game, and while it is a fun sim and a great multiplayer experience, when I found out about hit the ice I had second guesses a out what is actually the best TG16 game.. and though I've not popped this in yet, I have a suspicion this might be taking the crown. The style and humor in this manual has flown me for a loop, I absolutely love everything about this presentation!!

Look at these goons! That squirrely ref is quaking in his boots!

Apparently this game invented the airmail charlie, how do you perform this pass?! And check out the skanking goalie!
If you thought he was the most colorful character in this manual you would be wrong, behold this glory

Wow this has been the best Christmas ever! Thanks Santa!!

Ordyne fuck yeah.

So, did everyone get their stuff? Less than half have posted....

I used to get the entire week between Christmas and New Year's off at my old job but I started a new job in August and we only get the 2 days off from work so I didn't have a chance to post until now. I was able to narrow down my Secret Santa to 2 participants (might not figure it out until everyone has posted). He was quite generous as I received 3 games and a notepad. Thanks Santa!

My recipient messaged me thanking me for the Obeymas gifts as well as the HuCookies I sent along! Wasn't too hard to guess I suppose. :)

This is way late, but again I want to thank my Secret Santa. Went above and beyond this year! Played a good deal of pc-engine on Christmas! That was after I put together 342908734560987234095876540987234509873465098723049875092348567029487520398457 pieces of legos together. I will post pics this weekend.
