Are you organizing an official sign up sheet here?

ZOMBOID IS GOING TO SEND ME A GUITAR!

I just gave that to value village. Got sick of seeing it and I got in shit from this girl I know for not giving it to her either. In retrospect, I should've traded sex for the guitar... with either of you.

I'm not organizing a sign up sheet, but I guess anyone who's interested can post in here until the official thread comes along. It'll give more time to think about whether you're in or not :O

Well, if I can be in I'd like to be. I'll leave it at that for the time being.

I'm kinda having financial problems, so if I'm not able to get a job for christmas vacation I don't think I'll participate :(

If one of you wants to organize it this year, I'll be more than happy to participate in it for sure. Just let me know and I'll let you make a Secret Santa thread in the Forum Events area just like the one from last year: http://www.i-mockery.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19326

No money, and I don't feel like setting up one of those post office rent-a-address things.
Plus it'd be my luck I got sent a used condom or something. :\

I'm still hoping we have a Secret Santa event where nobody fucks up. The rules are so simple and plenty of time is given each year, yet there are always one or two people who screw things up.

mabye they wouldn't seem like such huge fuckups if the penalty was something other than PERMANENT BANISHMENT FROM THE INTERNET

I don't know how you plan on handling the newbie situation, but I'd be a part.

Yeah, it'd be nice, but it seems unlikely. I'm hoping that by getting people to sign up now, we can give em even mooooore time to get their gifts ready to be sent out so that no one is empty handed.

Asila - I think last year it went: People who've been registered for under a year need to post a pic of themselves holding a sign saying secret santa to prove that they have a working camera and method to get their pics online. Also, they were all paired together to avoid anyone getting fucked over by people who just joined to get free stuff. Generally speaking, people aren't douche bags like that, but ya never know.

It's shaping up nicely already. If any of ya wanna get it outta the way early, you can send me a PM with your mailing address. I'm thinking if we get everyone registered by the 25th or so, we'll be set and can give out the names and addresses so that everyone can play santa :D.

What does everyone think about new people participating? I think it worked out nicely last year the way it was set up, but some of the "new" users did a great job with it and I figured that maybe enough of the vets wouldn't have a problem with sending and receiving gifts from some of the newer people.

Well, you're signed up then. Here's hoping your secret santa doesn't send you a box full of human feces!

First off, you'll need to type up the announcement of the event / rules (based on what we did last year) and then send them to me so I can make an official thread in the Forum Events forum (and I'll also mention it in the I-Mockery blog). After all, not everybody reads the General Blabber forum, so I don't want anybody feeling left out just because they didn't notice it in here.

As for new users participating... last year, it was a few vets who screwed up... the new users did fine as I recall. So yeah, I'm all for having new users included again.

seems like giving Tadao anyone's address would be a recipe for disaster.

That's why Pub didn't get to play.

That is also why I won't be in it. Being like this is costly :(

Glad to see that people are interested. I'll write up the rules/guidelines in the next little bit here. I don't have school until Friday so I'm good :O
