Secret Santa 2015 - Signups till Saturday 21 Novembre
Sign-ups closed and targets sent out!
Ohai!
It's the time of the year again! As promised last year, I'm organizing a Secret Santa again!
In short, people send small gifts (self made or bought) to other Utopians and get something in return. The fun part is that no-one knows (except me) who will give them a present! Afterwards people can of course tell (or write it on the gift), but it should stay a big mystery till Christmas (or Yule, Crimbo or whatever you call it). Sadly last years topic was eaten by the termites of the internet (the forum crash) so I can't show y'all the gifts from last year. I do have some statistics: 22 people participated from 10 different countries in Europe, N-America, Asia and Australia and gave away 35 gifts!
How does it work?
You give me following information. I write it down and 'decide' through a random number generator who sends a gift to whom. The sender (Santa) gets a message of who their target is. Please remember that sometimes gifts get stolen by evil postmen or simply don't arrive on time. Don't panic! If needed, contact me and I'll contact your Santa. Also, if you think your gift will not arrive in time, let me know and I'll pass the word discreetly on to your target. It might also be a good idea not to make or buy something expensive: you might get something cheap in return and be sad. We don't want that. Please also remember: don't send something you wouldn't like to get. Don't send dildo's to everyone! Two last things: some people want to give more gifts (to different targets), that's fine! I'll make sure that everyone who sends X gifts, gets X gifts in return (so people who send out three gifts, get three gifts). Some people don't have the means to ship stuff all around the world, no problem! Just tell me in the message what your limits are.
I need this:
- Nick (IRC, forum)
- Sex (if comfortable, we had last year some people who knitted stuff for girls etc.)
- The way to contact you for your target (IRC, forum, e-mail, whatever is the easiest for you)
- Name (in case your postman doesn't deliver gifts addressed to your nickname)
- Amount of gifts
- Ship outside EU/US/Asia/Africa/whatever (yes if all locations are fine, specify if certain limits)
- Your address or postal box (Don't forget to mention the country!)
How to contact me?
- Forum PM: Nim
- IRC PM: Dumnorix or Dumno
