| Subject: SECRET SANTA Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:54 am | |
| Written by Sniggle because she is good at describing stuff. Also, here's the logo, but if any one can do better feel free to send it to me lol. Most things are better than something rushed and drawn with a mouse. Alright, are you guys ready for this year's secret santa?! If you answered no, TOUGH.
So, let's get started. Secret Santa. How does it work? First, those of you who answered yes to the previous question, who want to take part in Secret Santa make a post here saying that you'd like to be included. The administrators will keep track of who all posts. And for the sake of keeping the list cleaning, only post that you want to join in this thread. Nothing else! Even if you're excited, it'll make the list a bit confusing if put here, so please refrain. Next, we randomly pair up people. So maybe admin would tell bob that he is to get a gift for sally. Then admin tell sally that she is to get a gift for Dan. Then admin tell Dan that he is to get a Jim. Then admin tell Jim to get a gift for Bob. It's a big circle of gifts, and, when it's done right, it's fabulous~~~
You have until December 2rd to sign up, and then by December 5th you will be sent a pm containing your partner's name on it. For the sake of secret santa do not change your name. It makes finding you difficult for both the administrators as well as your partner!! Those who change their name may not get a gift. D; ANYWAY. You'll have until 11:59 pm EST on December 24th to create/buy your gift[b] for secret santa, and then from December 25th to 11:59 pm EST on December 31st to give your gift to your partner! Remember, it's a secret, so don't tell [b]anyone who you're giving a gift to. Don't ruin the surprise!! D: And to those of you who haven't received a gift by 11:59 pm EST on December 31st, you are to pm an admin explaining that you didn't receive one. We'll know who was paired up with who, and if it turns out you didn't give a gift to someone, you will not be able to participate in the next secret santa, plus you will get all your drachmas taken away! And that would be a bummer, wouldn't it? For both you AND the person who didn't receive a gift. Last year this happened a lot, which is a serious problem. It kills the joy and makes children cry. YOU DON'T WANT TO MAKE CHILDREN CRY, DO YOU?
I hope you answered no to that. This isn't Teletubbies. So! Now that we've gotten through the rules, let's go to helping out your secret santa make the right gift for you!! A subforum will be set up where each person participating will make a thread containing their wishlist! You can name it "Gary's wishlist!" or "HAPPY RAINBOW JOY JOY [LEX]" Doesn't matter as long as your name is in the title so that your secret santa can easily find it. In this thread you will list a few of your interests--favorite books, movies, television shows, video games, your OTPs, music, you name it. Just name sure it follows the rules!! Then, your secret santa can take something from that list and make or buy something based off of that.
Here are a few rules though. It's okay if you really want to go out and buy, say, a Simoleons gift card for your avid sim player, but real life gifts should not require an address to be given. So no trying to mail gifts to people's houses! That goes against site rules of giving personal info and yada yada. It's just safer for everyone. And if you're going to go out and purchase a gift, it doesn't have to be some crazy $50 gift card to shop at Hot Topic online. A ten dollar card will suffice, and make sure they work online. How dumb would you feel if you bought something for someone that can't actually be used? D;
Anyway, I know a lot of you, most of you for that matter, don't have spare cash to spend or simply don't want you. And that's perfectly alright, I assure you. Each of us has a different talent. If you can draw a picture, do that for your secret santa! Maybe of their characters or their favorite scene in a book? If you're an experienced coder, feel free to make a character template if they need one (yes, these are things you can specify on your wishlist! Though no promising you'll get art or coding or whatever--your secret santa may not be skilled at such things or have the time to make them.) Maybe you can write a song about something on your person's wishlist? Or a photoshopped signature. There are a lot of possibilities if you're creative, and I know for a fact that all you guys are! I also know a lot of us are crazy procrastinators too, so make sure you get that gift in on time! SO. That about covers the wishlist. And if you don't make a wishlist, you make your gifter's job difficult, so you might end up with something you hate. D: And that'd be a real bummer. Personally, if my person didn't put up a wishlist, I'd just fill their inbox with pictures of coal. >:C BAHUMBUG.
That does lead me to another point though. You need to need to need to put effort into your gift. No half-assing, guys. We're not all perfect at everything, but the important thing is that you try. If you're gonna send a gift card or something, write a cute little note to accompany it. If you're going to make a drawing, don't just do stick figures. Put serious love into it! People here are worth the effort, and if you disagree you're a terrible santa. -sobs- Just try your hardest, that's all we ask. That being said, if you write poetry for you assigned person, don't write a haiku. Write something long and nice and meaningful, and put time and love into it.
Don't be squidward.
- Spoiler:
Alright, that covers it. If you have a question, pm an admin. And hopefully you didn't skim, because the admins don't want stupid questions that have already been covered. Remember, all of this post is important, especially squidward. And if you did skim, we can't be held accountable if you mess up, and you will still be punished for disobeying the event rules. C; And if you ask a question already answered in this post, then we will simply refer you back to it. A little reading never killed anyone. :P Unless you're reading Shakespeare. That's another story entirely.
RAMBLING. I AM RAMBLING. Okay, you know the dates, so go sign up (if you want to and can commit) and have fun making someone's holiday. HUZZAHHHHHH. /flies off |

Know I'm not meant to post, and if no one else posts for a reason other than signing up that'd be great. You don't get to pick. It's completely random :] |
