I'm starting sign-ups late, 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.

Is this just a joke (a funny blast from the past :pcgs: ) or do you really want in as a Santa?

I'd imagine all the hassle to recover their account and reconnect with the forums was likely just to tell that joke. Oh Beemer, you trickster, lolz! ;)

Just got a flashback from 2017 when I joined a secret Santa gaming related event on a Facebook, and my Santa straight scammed me lol
-
Well that's not cool!! I'm all done with my shopping too, but I'm planning a little time sensitive addition to the event, so it'll be a couple weeks until I ship! :yuki: :duran:
-
Shopping is done but I think that I'll send a bit closer to Christmas...

I'm intrigued, care to expand?

-
My Santa's gift arrived here the other day.
Had it shipped to my parents so im gonna have to wait to open it!
-
I believe my gift arrived yesterday, I plan on opening on Xmas Eve.
Also- I sent mine out with Esty-mated arrival of Tuesday. So hopefully they enjoy the goodies!!
HAPPY HOLLIDAYS YA'LL!! <3

OMG... I forget to come back to the forums here regularly... I have to remedy that for 2023 :)
STATUS: According to INTERWEBZ, the gift I sent out should have arrived yesterday (Friday).
ARRIVAL: a package arrived safely to my home, so don't worry, comrade, i will open it tomorrow on XMAS day (since i'm not a scammer/cheater).
MARRY CRUSTMUST to all.

Yer welcome, nectarsis. :pcgs:
Santas were good to me:

Santa Ceti at Tenagra sent me Son Son II, a game I've been meaning to get for too long. It looks barely used, and the post card is hilarious. What is up with the pig?!? :lol:
(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52585397204_ffbdafc54a_o.jpg)
Santa Xele sent me Arubarea's Maiden, a bunch of neato Falcom trading cards, some bad ass Feena art, and lots of candy (aka today's breakfast). And that is the best reuse of LRG stuff; for a minute, I was worried I'd landed on Santa's naughty list and got coal. :mrgreen:
-
Merry Christmas everyone! You guys always make it an awesome year! Thanks to my SS. I know who you are. Lol. Very much appreciated. I was confused since another package arrived. Necro pulled my name out of the Hatris he said. So, I got some more goodies from another nice santa (also know who you are). Thanks everyone. For reals.
From my awesome SS! Also, thanks for the Card and Beer pass to the arcade. I am in your neck of the woods every now and then due to work. Will definitely stop by and check the place out sometime.

I'm glad your SS got all you goodies to your neck of the woods Esty! What a guy! <3
My SS rocked my Xmas as well! Holy shit, I'm so excited to play more of Dekoboko! I'm terrible, but I think it has TONS of replayability!

Got some awesome goodies this year! I had asked for a nice wireless Genesis controller and gotten it! This one has support for regular Genesis ports and USB which is pretty great since I didn't even know that existed. It even works with the Switch which will be nice when I play Sonic Mania again.
I ALSO got a badass Popful Mail shirt which I did not even know existed. Props to my Santa for knowing my all encompassing weakness. :D
-
There's still five Santas not heard from yet. Did y'all get the shaft, are having so much fun playing your gift that you can't post, or are still drunk on egg nog?
-
My Santa got me a spiffy USB Feka controller (as requested!) and an HDMI cable for Saturn. Along with some candy goodies for the fam. :D
-
It took me 2 days after Necro kindly reminded me to stop being lazy and post my gifts from Santa.
I Love the Turbo wrapping paper. Very chic 1992.
