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 'coal in their stocking and one will get an 8bitdo wireless PCE/TG-16 pad (maybe an option for the wired Hori pad if it comes back in stock). If you don't want 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! I'll send you a list after I've given it some thought.
-
You guys can save 'em until the end of the month if you want. That's preferable to sending updates, as I'm retarded and might (most likely will) make mistakes.
-
I'm in as well necro. LOL! So is it gonna just going to be the four of us?
-
I have hopes more join up yet, but maybe. :|
-
my favorite part of the year!! I'm in!! <3
-
Put me down for it! I'll try to get my list to you by the 1st(ish)
-
I'm in y'all
-
Bumps! Less than a week to go!
-
Last minute bump! It's not too late to join in the fun.
Also, santas get your lists together. :pcgs:

Nice to see you again hoobs!

I'm too unreliable to enter this year with the new business, hope it's another great secret santa this year !
-
Nice to see you again hoobs!
Thanks! It seems like I only check in twice a year (to sign up for Secret Santa and to see what everyone received from their Santa). Looking forward to Secret Santa again as always!
-
Is this going to be open much longer? I'm starting to get nervous about how long it'll take to order something from Japan and get it to my recipient on time. :lol:
-
Everyone should have their lists, finally. A couple of Santas were slow as molasses this year!
Like rofl mentioned, I think we all know how fucked shipping is nowadays. I know I'm not gonna get pissed if Santa's reindeer are late this year, and I hope y'all can cut him some slack if need be.
-
Mine has already shipped as a 5 minute ago should give oak should get there in plenty of time I had to do priority due to throwing in a little extra O0
-
My Xmas goodies got here this week- going to do a little wrap job and send by week's end! Woo! Long live Seclet Santler 202111!!!!!111
-
I hope everyone is having an awesome final week before Ho-Ho-Santa day! Is there any chance we could get ya'll to check in to see if packages were on the way or not?
I believe mine should have been delivered, is everyone else good?
Happy holidaze ya'll!!
-
I told you I got it, ya hoser!
My recipient's stuff is on the way (as is the bonus raffle), and I've forwarded tracking if I have it.

Awesome! Nice to see Flippy the LD turtle making the rounds. I made up a bunch of those stickers earlier this year and sent one to Jash, haha.

Three santas still not heard from..... I hope they're just being bums and there's no real issues.

So my excuse is that I got the plague over Christmas time and I was really sick of dealing with things, didn't really get to "Christmas" until this Sunday.
I got sonic Mania for PS4 and a lovely copy for CVS2 for Dreamcast, a lovely set of gifts for a Sega dork like me.
Thanks to my Santa!
