Hi all, as Christmas is slowly creeping up on us, it's time to start our yearly Secret Santa - which makes this year the 7th! If you are not familiar with what this is: people are separated to 2 groups based on their location (North America and Europe+Asia). Then everyone randomly gets another person from their group and expected to send a present. Everyone therefore both sends and receives, and we are all happy. I will be responsible for North America, and I hope stfubaker can take Europe+Asia? The last two Secret Santas have been an absolute success (meaning that everyone got their present). If you would like to join this year, just say so in this topic. However to keep the success going, some core members will decide whether you are allowed to join. This is not personal, but we can't trust someone who has 40 posts and people have no idea about him. On the old site it was ultimately decided by Ryan but as he is no longer a member, I nominate essien and Ghosty to be the deciders with Baker and me (so 4 people). The deadline for saying you want in is October 31st. Then till November 7th you'll have to send your data (this will all be explained then what data is required), and by the 10th you will know who you'll send present too. It's one of my all time fave things we do on the mush, so I want to keep it going. I'm in for the Euro+Asia group!

That's a great idea but last time i've done that, i sent a package from Europe to North America and it was not "welcome on the territory" haha (it was like french food to taste)
I guess i'll pass this year as it's also expensive to send things overseas. But still a great thing, glad if it works !

But still a great thing, glad if it works ! That is why we create 2 groups, so that you don't have to send overseas. Problem bypassed. But anyway as you are fairly new, I would suggest waiting till next year. Would love to see you as a new face next time though

One more thing I forgot to say. There's a default 100 post limit. This does not guarantee entry however, but for everyone who wants to participate and is under 100 comments, we will evaluate if we trust this person enough to participate.

Oh and needless to say: if you fail to deliver and you have no proof you shipped it (therefore using tracking is a must) you will be banned.

I think I'm gonna stand back and watch this one for this year, but I just might do this next year! Already can't wait to see the companion thread with the results!

I'm at a weird crossroads.
I totally want in on this, 100% no doubt.
But, I'm gonna be in Sweden over the Christmas break, and kinda wanna be in on the action for EU. if someone else is down with taking the EU/Asia, I'd so be down. Just a a fair warning on my part though. I will be sending it from the EU when I get there, and it will more than likely be after the deadline to send. I'm flying in on the 19th, so would probably send the 20/21 most likely.
Ofcourse, this is all pending. I may just say fuck it and stay with the North American one... But I know a bunch of people over in the EU I'd love to get.
I'll let you know where I stand (in the EU or NA) by the time it comes. In the mean time, if someone wants to step up to organize the EU, that'd be super cool.
