Secret Santa 2013

[Nikki Wolf]

Yep, it's getting to be that time of year. Hats to be stolen, stores to be emptied out in mere seconds, banks/houses to be robbed, and (unfortunately) people to be hurt because people are savages, when it comes to rock-bottom sales and demand being taller than the sky. A holiday that I have to call Capitalistmas, or Christmas/X-mas/Hannukah/Quanza/whatever you celebrate.

But enough of that. We're civilized mercenaries, who secretly give gifts to our comrades and share our booze, after a long day on the gravel-saturated battlefield. So as part of Crit Sandvich tradition*, I'll be hosting this year's Secret Santa. I probably should have posted this sooner, but I actually didn't think about this until when I showered this morning.

Anyways, if you want to participate in Secret Santa, please post below that you will be. You have until December 4th (my birthday XD) to enter. The day after, I will start matching everyone up.

Rules:

-The minimum spending amount is $5. If you want to spend more, you may do so at your own accord.
-To keep things safe, everyone must have a wishlist on Steam. Try to have at least three games of interest on there, though vary the prices from one another.
-If you want to opt in for receiving a physical gift, please state so in this thread, or by contacting me. You must also send me your address (via PM or Steam chat), after opting in.
-Please have your gift sent out by December 31st. If you're having issues, contact me ASAP.
-You're not allowed to share who you have to give a gift to publically, or ask anyone who they have. This rule applies to the CSn servers, as well.
-Failure to abide by the rules could result in being kicked from this event, and/or being unallowed to join in future Secret Santas**.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me on Steam or on here.

*We have tradition?
**If there are future events, that is. I can't see into the future, mind you.

[LegendarySurgeon]

I am interested.

Edit: I am willing to send / receive a physical gift - I'm pretty sure you still have my address from last year but PM me if you can't find it.

[Sanic-X]

This sounds really fun.
So we buy our Secret Santa person a game from their Steam Wishlist or send a physical gift?

The gift can be anything, really. It's not restricted to Steam games or physical stuff. A gift I got last year was artwork of Nikki Wuff, and I gave out one or two Humble Bundles (can't remember exactly), so the gift is just up to the stretch of your imagination. Of course, the person you give a gift to has to opt in for a physical gift, if you decide to go with that option.

[Dravved]

Yo, I'll do physical.

[SovietPanda]

i'm down with this

[megamoose]

I'm cool with this.

[Sanic-X]

Sounds cool. Count me in.
*Edit* Go ahead and send me real life items if ya want.

[Rosey]

sure ill go for physical if they want

[CR33D]

Question: can it be TF2 items, or does it have to be a game? It may be slightly harder for me to get a game.

Question: can it be TF2 items, or does it have to be a game? It may be slightly harder for me to get a game.

As I said above, it can be anything. TF2 item-wise, just pay close attention to the overall market, depending on what items you're wanting to gift. The TF2 market can be pretty shifty, so I recommend going with something that has a more concrete pricing to it.

[Infamous]

Can i give bananas?

[Nikki Wolf]

Can i give bananas?

Nothing perishable, so no.

[Arty_pn]

I'm in
also waiting for the Autumn sale to be over b4 wish list.

[fingerman]

I want to participate, but only if its physical address gifting, not virtual.

[CR33D]

I think I'll pass, Nikki :3

I don't have much spare moneys, but if I find some, I'll randomly gift one of you guys who are participating.
I don't want to let anybody down, so it's better to be safe than sorry :3

[Spatankiller117]

I shall play.

[Nikki Wolf]

Entries close at midnight. If you want in, speak now or forever hold your peace.

[Failhorse]

[Nikki Wolf]

Alright. Send me your address.

Anyways, entries are closed now. I'll be matching everyone up today. Keep an eye out for a PM.

[Arty_pn]

[Nikki Wolf]

Everyone's been matched up now. Check your PMs for who you got. As before, if you have any questions, feel free to message me.

[Rosey]

[Nikki Wolf]

Yeah, that was a mistake on my part. I noticed that when I matched everyone up, but everything's fixed now.

Also, when should we mail things out? The 20th? On Christmas?

Anytime before the end of the month. If you have issues with trying to mail your gift, contact me ASAP.

You didn't accept your secret santa's friend request, or at least that's what he told me.
