Chrom Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 (edited) It's that time of the year again. Hello and welcome to Ninfora's second annual Secret Santa event for 2017! I am your host, Santa Chrom, here again to make everyone's holiday season a great one. To have the opportunity to bring back Secret Santa to this community once more is my honor and pleasure, and I am looking forward to seeing the fun unfold again. Last year's format proved to be very successful, so for everyone's convenience, this event will largely be the same as last time, but all participants are still expected to read up on everything outlined below. What is Secret Santa? In Secret Santa, members fill out a form to tell Santa Chrom a little about themselves (such as where they live, what they like, and more), and are later randomly assigned another participating member as their Tiny Tim, whom they must deliver a gift to by the holiday season, receiving the information that Tiny Tim shared with Santa Chrom. At that point, it becomes the Secret Santa's responsibility to pick out a gift for their Tiny Tim based on the given information. At the same time, the Secret Santa's own information is shared with yet another participating member, so they too will be a Tiny Tim to another Secret Santa. In short, in Secret Santa, you will give to one person, and you will receive from another person. It's called Secret Santa because you should remain anonymous until the day your Tiny Tim receives your gift! Rules All gifts should be valued at least roughly $10 USD (before tax/shipping). Pay what you want, but don't be cheap. Personally crafted gifts are waived from this rule. Delivering directly via Amazon, eBay, Etsy, and other storefronts is acceptable. Any way to wrap your gift and include a personal message should be taken if possible. Same goes with tracking, share that with Santa Chrom via PM. Digital items (games, movies, etc.) are acceptable to be gifted. You may specify on your form that you would prefer not to receive these kinds of items. This exchange is open to all members regardless of residence. Santa Chrom reserves the right to decline a registration if he believes an applicant may not be suitable to participate. Only sign up if you are serious and committed to participating. It makes organizing this a lot easier for Santa Chrom. If at any point you believe you will no longer be able to participate, please send a PM to Santa Chrom at the earliest opportunity. Received gifts must be shared in this topic with some kind of visual proof. Tiny Tims may choose to open/share their gifts received early if they want to. If a Tiny Tim has not received their gift by a certain date, Santa Chrom will personally deliver a gift to them as compensation. The dates to remember, take note!

Tyranogre Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Reminder that a copy of Bad Rats does not meet the 10-dollar minimum. However, eleven copies of Bad Rats surpasses the minimum by 89 cents. The Guardian Mew and Doc Brown 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Reilly Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I've always had fun with this, but my financial situation is a bit rough this year. I'll do my best to get something together, though. Doc Brown 1 Quote Link to comment

subrosian Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I signed up. A bit nervous as I haven't really tried shipping anything ever, but I do live like 15 seconds away from the post office... I'm sure it'll be fine. Doc Brown and Chrom 2 Quote Link to comment

Tyranogre Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 @Chrom Re-reading through the confirmation email, I noticed that there's no field for "what game systems do you own". Since we had a new Nintendo console launch this year, I figured it might be important for Tiny Tim to note whether they have one or not. Quote Link to comment

Chrom Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 Yup. In the form there's already a field for you to list any game systems you own if you want to. Alternatively you can use it to specify what kinds of games you have on a wish list. Quote Link to comment
