    Secret Santa 2016

    Are we not doing Secret Santa this year? Did too many people get burned that the spirit is gone?

    It's a community run event. If someone wishes to run it, I don't mind. But it's work. You have to basically play matchmaker for all the active members on the site. It's a big ask so people don't often volunteer twice.
    It is better to ask and look stupid then keep your mouth shut and remain so.

    I would have done it, if I wouldn't have a boatload of work ahead of me :(

    It's practically December, there's no way people will receive their shipments on time... I'm calling it to late to organize, but don't let me stop you from doing it ;)

    Okay, so with no expectations it will actually happen, hopefuls post in this thread. If there's enough by say Monday; I'll try and keep the spirit alive.

    I'd do it if we end up running it, I was sad I missed it last year.

    I keep getting burned by this so consider me out. I think everyone realized that 60% of the users were just trying to get free stuff and had no intention of contributing.

    I was unfortunately one of them. Nonetheless, in the spirit of the holiday, count me in.

    Same, 2 of the 3 years I've done it, first was great, last two... Did last year hoping that the year before was just a crappy fluke, but...

    Count me in as well. Would be very sad to see it die despite the negatives, maybe a better screening of attendance is necessary?

    This was fun last year, but I'm probably out this year. Still feeling guilty at having given ~$50 while receiving ~$100+.

    Re: Secret Santa 2016

    Okay so a day late, but whatever.

    So people I have in are:
    Pilhas
    Kathal
    taconaut
    KaiSchafroth
    meffeo
    tsabo_tavoc
    Doishy
    mistercakes
    Xod

    Including me that 10. Maybe small but if it's big enough for a sanctioned tournament it's good enough for me.

    So here is what we will do:
    PM me an ideal wish list along with a budget I can expect you to hold yourself to. Also where you would like your stuff mailed to. I will match up those with similar budgets for the most equitable gifting experience. I enjoy giving beyond the usual $20, and I don't want people like Stuart feeling disenfranchised because they got Power or something crazy.

    Once I have all the replies in or by the end of this week if people go missing, I will send our the wish lists to everyone.

    As always, alters regardless of quality are recommended, along with your local wares. The best gifts I got were because of chocolate and rum, not the cards themselves.

    Thanks guys!
