Baited

[away]

ill do it, but it depends on what exactly 5-10$ means, i can give 10$ worth of hats or i can buy a nice 10$ game. but that's the issue, what is a proper present for the person i am giving it to?

I guess its kinda up to you to pick the what you think what your person will like, like you can check their steam wish list and see if theres a cheap game they want or something.

[away]

sooo, to get the best possible secret santa gift for myself i should delete my wishlist? why i cant i give them a 10$ gift card like i don't do with my other relatives. i mean ill buy my santa whatever it wants but it seems like an exploitable system.

It's up to you to choose what to give, just like it's up to your secret santa to choose what to give to you.

Please keep items on your wishlist, it's actually easier than gift cards bc usually it's people giving games they bought on the Christmas sale.

For this, I personally remove games from my wishlist that I deem too expensive, and add a bunch of less expensive games in the hope that my santa doesn't feel pressured.

It's not really exploitable bc it's all based on the generosity of your santa, and the whole SECRET bit.

Also pls. Christmas is about giving, not getting. Let's be merry, yeah?

[HausOfJoel]

lowkey just gonna tell everyone they got me so only i get presents except the person I buy stuff for.

But you can get whatever as long as it is the minimum price, I'd say avoid in game content like tf2 items or such.
If the person opts for physical gifts you can send them something instead of just games.

I have like 40 games, expensive and cheap af on my wishlist, but will opt for a physical gift because yeah

[Insipid]

I'm up for some steam gifting.

[BowlingWithButter]

I'm up for giving away some free stuff online for mah "friends."

[HausOfJoel]

Bumping as I guess a two week notice to get more people to join.
Reminder if you signed up to have games on your wishlist and if you are ok with physical gifts pm me your address

[CallMeFishmael]

I'm down, y'all.

[HausOfJoel]

Hey guys, it's December, so only a few more days to sign up to be a part of this if you haven't already. And remember if you want to opt in for physical gifts send me a message telling me so including your address to send to.

[WordToYourMothership]

sign me up chief

[HausOfJoel]

Sent out who everyone has, if you didn't get a message let me know.

If you have someone who opted for physical gifts (Myself, moose, bird, finger) and would like the address let me know (or if you have me ask bird)

Have fun!

[WordToYourMothership]

THE TASK IS COMPLETE. SECRET SATAN IS A SUCCESS

[BowlingWithButter]

Just throwing this out there to get everyone's opinion on it.

Could we have a list of the profiles for everyone that opted for online gifts? Both my gifter and giftee weren't on my friends list so it was really obvious what was going on.

My though is that next year could we have everyone that opted for online gifts give their steam profile and then have a list PMed to everyone. Then, if they have the room on their friends list, they add all of them. That way nobody has any idea who is their Santa. Obviously the people that want physical gifts would be exempt.

Just wanted everyone's thoughts.

I just kinda assumed people would wait until theyre ready to give out the gifts for them to friend people.

I was ready. I'd forget otherwise.

[HausOfJoel]

I completely forgot that the link to steam profile isn't on the forums anymore, so I'm sure next year whoever does it can make a list of steam accounts everyone can add.

No I just don't want to so I'm doing it or it's happening when there's a lot of what if's that can occur in a year

[SnakeShesh]

I have quite the conundrum.
Lets say, hypothetically of course, I sent out my gift already. I won't know when my giftee receives the gift, so they won't know who its from, hypothetically. Do I tell my giftee I was their gifter, or do I wait to tell my giftee, or do I let my giftee figure out? Of course this is all hypothetical.

Corn from Nebraska. Is it as good as corn from Iowa?

[BowlingWithButter]

Iowan here. Despite never having Nebraska corn, I will still say that Iowa corn is better.

"Minnesota nice is the stereotypical behavior of people born and raised in Minnesota to be courteous, reserved, and mild-mannered."

Meanwhile when I ask google "Iowa nice" I get this:

I mean I guess we're basically the same.

[HausOfJoel]

Y'alls States are nice but nothing tops the greatest city ever. Cleveland.

[1#Scrub]

some bullshit about cleveland]

its like the same for almost every city in the midwest, everything went kinda shitty in the 80s

So, I was lucky enough to have my secret santa know me for a little bit, back from the old times of the LoveNest. Ah' the good ol' days.

When Smash 3DS came out, my secret santa and I would always play together online. We would have battles a lot, and even have entire ironman matches (defeat all of your opponent's characters with as few as you can (must use a certain # of them). We would have days where we would play for an hour or so, just to have fun, see if we could become better. (It was always me ) Eventually, we stopped playing for a bit, but this person knew who was one of my favorite chaarcters and a used-to-be-main character. I thank you Snakeshesh for what you got me, and it was incredibly thoughtful.

Captain Falcon reported for duty, on the glass running, and his symbol on the coaster.


Also, I got a 2nd glass free cause apparently the 1st one didn't make it through inspection 100% (there's nothing wrong with that other one?)

[WordToYourMothership]

My secret santa has ditched me D:

[1#Scrub]

My secret santa has ditched me D:

They probs are waiting for Christmas to give out their gift

[Lia_Rein]

My secret santa has ditched me D:

For christmas, you get the gift of realising that you're all alone

I get this from scrub, for some reason steam seems to think he is my 'friend.'



What Scrub forgets though is that corn is gross. Futhermore this image proves that I respect people's privacy and therefore you should all start sending me your personal info now, ok ty.

Tyvm Scrub I've wanted the Talos principle for ages but bajeezus was that thing expensive. I've wanted abzu more recently-ish but it looks TOTALLY FREAKIN AWESOME.
