Hey everyone. So here we are, another year passed, which means another Secret Santa in the making. If you are not familiar with it, here's the high level overview: There is a group of people. Each person is randomly assigned to send gift to another person. To avoid crazy shipping costs, we have 2 groups: one for America and one for Europe. You send me your details (address, some of your interests, etc) and I pass it on to who will send gifts to you. Profit. Couple of things: 1) I am not participating this year (booooo), so I will organize both parts 2) Only participate if you are 100% sure you can deliver. If you can't prove you sent your gift, you are banned and put in the Hall Of Shame.3) Getting tracking is mandatory (this way we avoid "but i sent it!" problems) Since I started organizing it a bit later than usual, the first few steps have to be sped up. First step is seeing who would like to participate. You have to write in this thread if you'd like to participate till the 11th. Then I review the list of people, and if someone is questionable, we will decide if those people can participate. Who is 'we'? Answer: xNickyUrinex The Matt Reptar essien and me. Then on Monday (Nov 11) I'll provide a list of people who are allowed to participate and you'll have to send me your details. I will specify what is exactly needed. You'll have time for this until Friday (Nov 16th) and on Saturday I will send you the details of the person you have to send your gift to. After that, it's you who will do the work: getting the present and shipping them out in time. Aim to send out the present so they arrive before Christmas. Once again: If you fail to deliver and cannot prove you've sent it, you will be banned.If anyone has any questions, shoot.

I'm interested but there's a chance I might be doing some crazy travel for work this month which might take up a lot of my attention, I'll know more by the end of the week and will confirm by the end of the week weather or not I can participate.

Let me know if you guys need me to do anything to make this easier to organize. I've marked the thread as an announcement so it should get itself some more visibility.
