Secret Santa 2016
« on: October 04, 2016, 03:07:22 AM »



Secret Santa is here again!  Here's the rules:

1.  Don't sign up if you can't or won't follow through.
2.  Signups are open now 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.  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.
4.  Value of your gift(s) should be in the $30-40 range - real value and not bloated OMG R@R3 L@@K bin pricing.
5.  Gifts should be mailed by December 10th at the latest, but don't mail it too early either.  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.
6.  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.
7.  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 -

Forum Alias:
Shipping Name/Address:
Condition (i.e. - complete, boxed, mint, loose, etc.):
Wish List:
Entered in the poster drawing? (yes/no):
Entered in the Magicoal drawing? (yes/no):

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.

This has sort of become a tradition I look forward to every year now.  Count me in!

Hell yeah can't wait! Is it even possible to get a game for under $30 anymore?

That's a good question.  Many of my favorites (i.e. - Legend of Xanadu I and II, Gotzendiener, Hatris, Magicoal, and Ys IV) can easily be had for under $30, but many others have been priced outta the running.

Should we up it to $30-40?

I am totally down for this. Sign me up!

Edit: 30-40 sound fair to me.

Count me in as well.  I'm okay with the price range being a bit higher. 

It sucks that games are higher now, but it's also an undeniable truth.

I usually go over the minimum in these things as they are typically low, but $40 is probably about where I'd top out at (so I would be okay with $30-40 range).

I want to do it again, just about to start a new job so I should be able to.  I'll come back and say for sure before the deadline is up.  Really enjoyed doing it last year, but like you said, prices are going up on this stuff all around!  Just gotta make sure I have the xtra dough first.  Also, just outta curiosity Necro - do you have some kind of near infinite supply of Magicoal???

Even that is kinda surprising that you can do so with such consistency!
