DGames Secret Santa V2.0

Hey remember this from last year?

Well I;m setting this up again, though tighter deadline.

What is this?

This is DGames secret Santa, where each of us will send a secret gift to each other. Everyone s gonna be anonymous in who they are sending gifts to and will be unaware who they are getting a gift from. In the end we will be showing who sent who what, but only when we receive the gifts.

Sign-ups end December 4th.

How do I sign up?

Gonna C/P what OS set-up last year.

Send me a PM with your full name, address, and an e-mail address you can be contacted at outside of Smashboards. This will be the address that they send the gift to, so if you are going home for the holidays from college you should probably not put your dorm address and get a failed delivery.

Please also let me know if you would be willing to:

A) Ship outside the US / Europe / wherever you live (this can be more expensive); if you do not agree to this you will also not RECEIVE gifts from outside your country

B) Send additional gifts if someone gets the shaft

I will be assuming the answer is no if you do not respond.

Then in the same PM you put your likes / dislikes / pertinent information as seen below:

Sign up Format said:
Likes: Bazookas, Mafia, RPGs, flights to South Korea and Japan for two, fully functioning death stars

Dislikes: Rap music, skunk scent, tomatoes

Pertinent Information: I own a Wii and an Xbox 360, I'm allergic to kryptonite, and have a small kangaroo as a pet
That's it! You replace my silly Likes / Dislikes with your own. Please don't add any pictures and try to keep it simple.

While it's nice to know something specific when buying something for someone and it's always nice to just tell someone "I want this video game" and then get it that won't be the method we will be using for this Secret Santa. This can put some constraints on those without money during the holiday season (if I said "I want a new nylon string classical guitar", you're either going against my list completely or will go broke) and can make people feel like they've failed if they can't find or afford those specific items. List plenty of things so you can be surprised and be vague if you can!

Keeping it vague means that everyone gets to buy gifts of their own choosing, which means we should be sending and receiving more unique and interesting gifts than we may be used to from our family or friends.

Please take special note of the pertinent information section. Knowing what game systems someone owns or what their shirt size would be is nice and all, but knowing things like allergies is important.

How do we do this?

1.) All gifts sent should hit the $10 threshold. This is mandatory, make sure what you are sending isn't a pop sickle stick figure. It has value either handmade or bought. If you can't spend $10, don't sign-up at all.

2.) Your sign-up info needs to be completed before anything can be done, or I cannot accept your info and let you participate.

3.) take pictures of your gift after you receive it, it's what makes this work and it's really fun to the experience.

4.) make sure you send your gifts out by December 16th so it can get to who you send it to around Christmas. We want to make sure your gifts end up at it's destination around the date.

5.) You must be a regular around DGames, Regular in the sense you play at least a decent amounts of games, most people should be able to join this.

6) I want to put myself in this, but if it would end up in an odd number of players I would take myself out to keep it up to an even number of players.

C/P image cause I like it,



Secret Santas are a part of sending good gifts to each person. Not for yourself to get yourself a great gift. You should be working towards sending a great gift to someone. Work towards making this a thing for everyone so we can make this event a great moment for Christmas for each other.

If you do this and send a **** gift like a pop-sickle stick figure, I will make you regret it around here forever.

Make this an enjoyable community.

Totally in. Will PM info later.

Also, if possible, we should probably try to avoid having people get the same gifter/giftee they got last year.

I gave to Ranmaru, and received from Handorin. Will include this in the PM when I send it.

Right behind you.
Hey, I can't participate anymore because of serious issues that came up. I would have loved to continue with this but I really have to get some serious money in right now.

Bit of an update regarding my current situation. I'm having some financial trouble at the moment so my gift might come after Christmas. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience.

UPS lost my package. I have literally never seen this before. I have never seen it happen to anyone else. However, I have to obtain a replacement. I had insurance. They'll pay me for it, but the place I was getting something from has since sold out. I am finding out how long it will take for them to get more.
