Okay peeps, my second time Hosting this Event but the fourth time it has come around~ I'm making sure to start it on time this year so people will have plenty of time to join and make their gifts~
Description of the event:
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?
Post here saying you'd like to join this year's event and I'll add your name to a list that I'll update regularly.
*Protip*: You can also add hints to help your secret santa figure out things you like!
How many peeps do I get assigned to?
One person per individual.
How do I get assigned?
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: as my own personal Rule, when I give out names on December 1st, you have 5 days to reply to me and tell me that you are still participating/ or if you are dropping out. If I don't hear anything back from you, I will automatically assume you are dropping out.
What can I give?
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.
When and how do I give my gift?
You may reveal yourself and your present to the person in question in this thread as early as December 24th, 2013! 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?
Bah humbug! Don't like 'm? Either try to get into the holiday spirits and make amends or drop out.
What if I need to drop out?
Send me a PM as soon as you know you need to drop out! Those dropping out will be crossed out of the list. The ones who were assigned to a dropout will be assigned to another person within the group (meaning that someone might receive two gifts!).
[size=20]Participation sign-up is open until November 30th at 11:59PM.
Participants will receive the names of their receiver by December 1st 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 this time, should make things more simpler. 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 ^^
