[color=#9D0A0A]Fakku[/color]'s Fifth annual
[color=red]SECRET SANTA EVENT!![/color]
Well, since no one rose up to the challenge I will do so. First time Hoster. Huzzah!
[color=red]
Description of the event:[/color]
In Secret Santa, individuals in the group of participants are given a person to find a gift for, and are also themselves assigned to another to receive a gift from. It should remain anonymous on who is to give who a present(hence, being a secret santa), until Christmas day when the gift are to be distributed.

Sounds neat! How do I participate?[/color]
Post here saying you'd like to join this year's event and I'll add your name to a list that I'll (try to) update regularly.
*Protip*: You can also add hints to help your secret santa figure out things you like!
[color=red]How many peeps do I get assigned to?[/color]
One person per individual.
[color=red]How do I get assigned?[/color]
I'll use a lottery method in order to group you up. After the end of the sign-up period, I will send a PM to every Secret Santa the name of their individual by December 1st.
Special Note: I will give you 5 Days after sending PMs to comply and reply a confirmation PM to me. If you fail to do so, you are booted out of the game!
[color=red]What can I give?[/color]
Since you're giving a gift online, be creative! :V You could write a well thought-out poem/story dedicated to that person. Perhaps you could spend some time and draw them an awesome picture, complete with color and whatnot? Perhaps you could make a video? How about a signature? Pour your heart into it!
*MAKE AN EFFORT WITH YOUR GIFT! DON'T MAKE HALF-ASSED GIFTS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!*
Also, It'd be cool if it was X-mas themed. Not mandatory though.
[color=red]When and how do I give my gift?[/color]
You may reveal yourself and your present to the person in question in this thread as early as December 24th, 2014! You may give it in a Personal message to the person, or publicly display it in the thread for all to see. ^^

I dislike the person that I've been assigned to. Could you please assign me to another?[/color]
Bah humbug! Don't like 'm? Either try to get into the holiday spirits and make amends or drop out.
[color=red]
What if I need to drop out?[/color]
PLease! Say as early as you can that you will drop out! It will be hard to keep people in the loop if someone decides to do a last minute dive!
[size=20]Since this thread comes in late and I'm away the 1st week of December: Signup ends on December 1st on 11:59 pm GMT + 1.
Participants will receive the names of their receiver by December 2nd to 3rd at 11:59PM.
Thereafter, you have from December 24th to the 26th give your gift![/h]
Suggestions for improving this game are very much welcome!
You may as well use this as a chat thread instead of me making another thread Feel free to give hints on stuff you like, or even try to inquire about the person you may have gotten. All I ask is that everyone enjoys themselves ^^
also, should you happen to get me as your secret santa, while it may no longer be secret, I do hope you still have fun making me a gift ^^
