Mini Event #1 - Hard Drop Secret Santa!

[Blink]

ok can i participate? I live in australia tho

sure, your secret santa might have to lower your gift cost to $10 or less lol to make up for the shipping but heyyyy it's the thought that counts.

or they could buy off an aussie site and post it straight from said site to my house. O.o then they pay aussie shipping.

presents dont have to be "gift" wrapped.

I'm in sounds like fun.  You might want to make this regional or try and match people with others in the same country or within a 1000 miles if outside of US?  I don't know...and I think a better idea for this would be that every gift has to be handmade.  Could make it much cheaper and more creative/fun.  Not everyone has $25 lying around for a random gift but I'll do whatever parameters you setup for it.

This sounds like fun... I'm in (If I'm allowed).

My suggestion would be that people who are comfortable post age group and sex as well, so people can get more relevant presents.

I'm male 23.

funny that most of you guys want to try to match your secret santas, so that they most closely fit yourself (location, age, or even know you already, etc.)
when I first read this idea, my thoughts were exactly the opposite: this should be cool, especially because we have pretty international members of all different ages, so everybody should get something exciting (or at least unexpected) in the mail
I mean I'd do this not for getting some junk as "valuable" as possible ($-wise, so aiming for low shipping costs, etc.) - but more what blink said: it's the thought that counts and should make it awesome.

Not really...I was more just meaning so that the person knows how old I am. I can't exactly send a copy of 'Sextris 2: The I Slot' to a minor now can I

[xlro]

hehe good point

[virulent]

[XaeL]

nah man, sextris 2 the I Slot is suitable for all minors, they dont have to kneel to get tetris'ed in the FACE

After thinking this through, I don't think it's actually safe for me to give out my address.. so I'd like to withdraw from the Secret Santa event.

any rules for if a person fails to gift?

on SRK we ban the person from the site. just food for thought.

The reason that only recognized members can participate is to hopefully eliminate this problem.  I believe everybody on the participants list can be trusted to send a gift out.

If someone is trying to receive a gift without sending one, it wouldn't be smart because we would have their address.  In the scenario that someone is just being a prick and gave a fake address with no intention to send a gift out, I'll definitely ban them from the site and see about about what to do so that the other person receives atleast some gift.

I doubt it will come to that.
