Secret Santa 2025

[Necromancer]

Fuck me, late again! Who's down for Secret Santa this 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.

Haven't missed one since I joined. Might as well keep it going. I'm in.

Hurray, I'm in!  Here's hoping I can come up with some stuff that I want that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

That's a real struggle, seiei.  I already have so much shit and much of what I don't have (but want) is rather spendy.

I think that's the problem with most of us, or any of the old timers that really don't have many "needs" left that aren't crazy pricey. I like to add just about anything unique or hand made to me wish list. I love when folks make some rando Turbo related trinket or something special. Posters, CDs, etc etc. I've seen others put more current gen games on their lists too, and that makes things easier.

I'm back after like 10 years (thanks for the heads up, Josh!). Definitely in for Secret Santa if you'll have me.
