Mockery Lemme know when it's ready so I can set up the new thread for ya in the Forum Events forum.
Nov 10th, 2008 04:14 PM
Zomboid 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

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

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.
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.

Sam GREAT, NOW I HAVE TO PICK A NEW GIFT TO SEND.
Nov 9th, 2008 09:10 PM
Zomboid Well, you're signed up then. Here's hoping your secret santa doesn't send you a box full of human feces!
Nov 9th, 2008 09:06 PM
Sam I DO IT EVERY YEAR
Nov 9th, 2008 09:01 PM
Zomboid SAM I MUST ASK THAT YOU STOP POSTING IN HERE UNLESS IT IS TO SAY THAT YOU ARE SIGNING UP
Nov 9th, 2008 08:56 PM
Sam TIME FOR THE NEWBIE BEAT-DOWN.

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.

Asila I don't know how you plan on handling the newbie situation, but I'd be a part.
Nov 9th, 2008 05:42 PM
Guitar Woman mabye they wouldn't seem like such huge fuckups if the penalty was something other than PERMANENT BANISHMENT FROM THE INTERNET

LordSappington 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.

MarioRPG I'm down for participating again.
