Secret Santa 2010
« on: October 06, 2010, 06:09:18 AM »


The Secret Santa that Windy put together a couple years ago was good fun, so let's do it again.  Here's the rules:

1.  If you have troubles following through in a timely manner, please don't waste everyone's time.  Do us all a favor and don't sign up.
2.  Signups will run from now til November 1st, after which time I'll match y'all up and send out your shopping lists.
3.  Send me your name, address, and a list of at least a half dozen games (ideally PCE related) that you'd like to receive, including condition preference.  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.
4.  Value of your gift(s) should be in the $10-20 range - real value and not bloated OMG R@R3!! eBay value.
5.  Gifts shall be mailed by December 10th at the latest, but not too early either (this ain't Secret Thanksgiving Pilgrim).  If for some reason you won't be able to meet that time frame, please let me know so that alternate plans can be made and nobody ends up crying in their eggnog.
6.  Again, don't sign up if you won't follow through.  Failure to hold up your end of the bargain will result in forum shunning, mockery, and hopefully banishment.  Plus, I'll have your toaster possessed by the disembodied digital soul of a lunatic Talkie Toaster (I toast, therefor I am), and I'll send out a robot zombie to defile your garage door opener.
7.  Most importantly, have fun.  This ain't supposed to be work.

P.S. - I'm open to suggestions for making this better or if additional stipulations need to be made.  Don't be shy - I don't bite too hard.



For more holiday happiness, a random winner will be chosen from this year's participants to receive a copy of the Turbo Legacy Poster.

Additionally, another lucky Secret Santa will be randomly chosen to receive a second gift(s), courtesy of Roy.



Gift lists and their respective recipients have been sent to all Secret Santas.  Let the shopping begin!

Missa never got hers from Nat during the last one.  Maybe he can send it out this year?

How many deadbeats were there last time?   This sounds like a good idea though!

Don't try to derail my thread with your trollish behavior.  Such an issue would be between Missa, nat, and maybe Windy, but if you feel the need to discuss it further, then feel free to start your own thread.

According to Windy only one person, Nat.

No derail or trolling intended.  I was just mentioning it as it was one of your rules for this years.  I would think members would actually care that a member was left out last time.  I guess not.  I won't mention it again.
All is well. :)

It's a great Idea and was a ton of fun hope you guys enjoy it. As usual I will be sending gifts out to peeps :) Missa was the only one that did not recieve a gift, and was quite hurt. I tried to make up for it and sent a gift to her, but she did not consider the gift from me as a part of the secret santa and felt the gift should have come from the person that drew her name. All in all, I would say it was a great success I would recommend it to anyone. So don't be discouraged at all to join this event it gets peeps involved and is a happy occasion. I might be in as well let me think on it a bit. I will be happy to help out in any way I can Your rules are very good and hopefully everyone who signs up will keep their end of the bargain. Hopefully there wont be any New Years Santa's either  8-[
