Secret Santa 2017

Nazi NecroPhile · 10/02/2017, 03:32 PM

Secret Santa is here again! Here's the 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 an unfortunate issue last year, no noobs allowed. Santas must have a minimum of 50 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 last year's 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 f*ck this up and I'll ban your ass.
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 another will get a copy of the Turbo Legacy 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.

Sign up sheet format for when you PM me your list -

This space reserved for the list of participants. Please send me a PM if your name isn't listed and it should be.

By the way, I don't need your wish list when you sign up. That can wait until the end of the month, so y'all got plenty of time to think it over.

seieienbu · 10/03/2017, 02:34 AM

Maybe this year I can avoid unintentionally buying a bootleg and having to wait for a second overseas package to arrive before sending my gift at the 11th hour.

Count me in, please.

Did that happen last year??

johnnykonami · 10/03/2017, 12:17 PM

I never saw any posts from my Santa last year, I hope they weren't disappointed. I think I found a really clean looking copy of one of the games they asked for.

Gypsy · 10/03/2017, 07:14 PM

PM'd good ole Necro. I look forward to getting sweet giftage for whoever I pick for. Last year whoever had me KILLED it. I frequently use the Saturn stick they got me.

jtucci31 · 10/03/2017, 07:43 PM

Well unfortunately I haven't been around here much lately because I've been in the process of starting 2 new jobs, but count me in please!! I'll get you my information later.

blueraven · 10/07/2017, 06:45 PM

FUuuuuuuuu ok I'm in.

One year someone sent me a list and the cheapest game was like $85. Also please don't request a sealed game unless its Fire Pro Wrestling or some shit. And I'm not sending anyone anything from PCEWorks. That said, I'm sure my recipient will be happy

I'M SENDING YOU FRUITCAKE IN A CAN, EAT IT B*^(*&S

bartre · 10/07/2017, 07:49 PM

I would love to do the same for someone, how do you all feel?

Yes I Still have another prototype item from that, I should finish and ship to you. I couldn't find a piece I needed to make it work. . . I have since sourced it. but I forgot who I sent it to... IT seems like another time with many other usernames. . .

Gredler · 10/17/2017, 05:42 AM

Add me to the crafty list, and I will append that to my pm as well. Sorry whoever gets me as their Santa, I love trying to craft but fear I am not the best with my hands and no edit undo ;)

blueraven · 10/17/2017, 03:42 PM

I HAVE ~~EVIL~~ JOLLY CRAFTING IDEAS

Nazi NecroPhile · 10/20/2017, 04:29 PM

Santa CAWs is drawing in his workshop right now... Did I mention that I'm down for crafty stuff? I'm worried someone is going to ask for some wierdly odd game that is like $100 shipped. Like Toilet Kids. I mean if you want me to send you a loose copy of JJ and jeff for your $40 gift then why not, right? But I'd rather spend a few hours making a custom piece for one of you turbros. Plus art is cool people like art right?

Other than the two laggards and their Santas, lists have been sent to everyone. Let me know if you got missed or need more from your recipient.

johnnykonami · 11/09/2017, 07:56 AM

Sweet! I guess I'll be doing a little shopping this weekend!

Medic_wheat · 11/09/2017, 10:59 AM

I learned a new word today.

lag·gard
ˈlaɡərd/Submit
noun
1.
a person who makes slow progress and falls behind others.

Gypsy · 11/09/2017, 12:06 PM

One of the games the person I drew asked for must be ermagerd teh r4r3s because I can't find it on eBay. Or I stuck at searching.

Anyway, I think they will be pleased with what I got them and this year I am sending to myself first to hopefully throw in some surprises.
