Secret Santa 2012
« on: October 02, 2012, 06:43:02 AM »


It's that time again - welcome to another year of Secret Santa!  Here's da rules:

1.  If you have a history of failing to follow through in a timely manner, please don't waste everyone's time; do us all a big favor and refrain from signing up.
2.  Signups will run from now 'til November 1st, at which time I'll match y'all up and send everyone their intended recipient's wish list.
3.  To make life easier for me, follow the format below when sending me your name, shipping address, wish list, etc.  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 $20-30 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 with nothing under their tree but moldy old fruitcakes.
6.  This is important and bears repeating: don't sign up if you won't follow through.  Failure to hold up your end of the bargain will result in shunning, mockery, and a sound beating from Rimmer's holowhip.
7.  Most importantly - this is supposed to be fun, dammit!



For extra holiday cheer, one random participant will be selected to receive coal in their stocking and another participant 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 -

Forum Alias:
Last Year's Recipient (if applicable):
Shipping Name/Address:
Condition (i.e. - complete, boxed, mint, loose, etc.):
Wish List:
Entered in the poster drawing? (yes/no):
Entered in the game drawing? (yes/no):

Just to make it clear, you PM me your wish list and contact info.; don't post it in this thread unless you're comfortable with everyone knowing your address and that you want nothing but Wonder Momo and Energy.

Also, please hold off on your wish list submittal unless you're certain that nothing will change over the next month; it's a lot easier for me to keep everything straight if there's only one sent my way.  The only thing needed at first is your intention to sign up, which can be done by PM or just by posting in this thread.

Is "wish list" just that?  Stuff you want? Anything, or must be turbo related? Can i just say "surprise me" if i dont want to ask for something specific? Sorry for the noob Q's but i wasnt around here for this last year, but love the idea.
Thanks

Count me in as well, last year was a blast.  I'll send the PM later this week with my wish list :D

Oh, and galam I didn't necessarily put all Turbo/PCE stuff on my list last year but it is encouraged I think.

Turbo/PCE is preferable since it's what pretty much everyone here knows, but anything videogame related is fine.  Just don't fill your list with boring stuff (nobody wants to send socks) or random stuff that few will know what it is or where to get it.

Can i just say "surprise me" if i dont want to ask for something specific?

I wouldn't think that'd be a good idea, as you'd most likely end up with something you didn't really need or want.  It's fine if you narrow it down a bit - in past years there's been people that asked for stuff like "any Turbografx CD game except ______" or "any PCE RPG except ______".
