A very happy holiday to you FE! It's that time of year again, FE's longest running yearly tradition... FE's 8th annual Secret Santa! For the fifth year in a row, we'll be using Elfster as our base of operations for this. For right now I have put the deadline for November 30th, which gives you the rest of the month to sign up and the entire month of December to get your gifts sent out.
Some ground rules:
* The golden rule: Do not be a flake! We've only ever had one instance of someone not getting a gift but I don't really want to see that happen again.
* Keep your identity a secret! The fun of this is that nobody knows who they are getting their gifts from. You are free to reveal yourselves after everything is wrapped up, however there are still people out there who do not know their Secret Santa. Utilize Elfster's Q&A tools to get a better idea of what to get your person if you need help.
* There is no spending limit. You can get whatever you want to get.
* If you do not want a gift, do not participate. This ruins the fun.
* Be mindful of shipping times. If you have Amazon Prime, it's a safe bet to use it. But if you go through anyone else with standard shipping, make sure you time it early enough so that your gift gets to your recipient on time!
* As tradition, I will be posting a video at the end of it all revealing gifts and reactions. You are certainly not required, but encouraged to film yourselves opening or enjoying your gifts. Even for you camera shy folks, Moose literally filmed her computer screen for 15 seconds because she got Game of Thrones as a Steam gift and Chris only filmed his arm! Please do not post reaction videos in this thread, PM them to me privately. (You are free to share the full raw videos after the FE one is released Christmas Day!)
Post in this thread if you do sign up and a very Merry Christmas!
Rodney is a great guy. Oops, nevermind he's a terrible human being.
He likes his sandwiches to be Turkey and Swiss. Triangle cut. Let vern have his crust. Poison the part Rodney eats.
TIB - 2 time award winner "Worst mafia player" at FE (maybe everywhere)
This is awesome. I would participate but am the worst person in the world at mailing stuff.
Most of us just buy online and ship it to the recipient. Elfster logs your assignee's address to you and is pretty easy to use! We'd love to have you.
On the subject, please make sure you're signing up on Eflster and not just here. Elfster is what will draw names so if you're not signed up on it, you're not in!
