recap:
you MUST post a reply to this thread if you want to participate. YOU SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE WHAT KINDS OF ITEMS YOU'D LIKE TO RECIEVE AS A GIFT!! (a "wish list")
this is just for my recordkeeping, if someone tells me in discord that they want to join, that message will be lost within the hour and i may forget. so you HAVE TO REPLY TO THE THREAD!!
Everyone should participate, even new players or people who cant think of something to give!
there are certainly items you can give which would be good gifts, and if everyone does, a lot less people will complain about the gifts they recieve
sometime in early december, when there are "enough" participants, I'll randomly roll a name for each person.
You are their "Secret Santa" and will trade me the item you wish to gift to them, after I have DMed you their name on discord.
it is very very highly encouraged that the items you gift aren't "worthless" and you'd be happy receiving it in turn.
It should be obvious what gifts are "good" and "bad" based on what you can afford to give, and there is hopefully even a wishlist for you to refer to.
these gifts will be handed out to the recipients when most have been received and hopefully on or around SATURDAY DECEMBER 20TH (NOW CHANGED DUE TO REQUEST FOR MORE TIME FOR THOUGHTFUL GIFTS)
Additionally, courtesy of myself and any other generous gifters who would like to contribute (DM ME IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CONTRIBUTE),
there will again be a "BONUS GIFT" pool to ensure that no one receives a "bad" gift
I will be continuing the Mentor program.
In essence, this is if you want to give an generous gift but only to new or newer players. DM me or CoachGrump on discord if you are interested in this and we'll explain the details.
New this year :
There will be a BRAND-NEW GIFT BRACKET SYSTEM.
=There is the Standard bracket, which is anything-goes within-reason. It does not mean you will get a bad gift by any means, it just means you don't have to give a ton out too. Post normally within this thread to enter this pool.
=There is also now going to be a HIGHROLLER gift bracket. However, there are a few stipulations :
1. All gifts submitted to this bracket will be reviewed by a secret, impartial group of staff, who will determine if it fits the spirit of this bracket.
2. These gifts, as a guideline, should be at a MINIMUM near-value of 100M coins.
Putting in effort or fulfilling your recipient's wishlist can make your gifts more 'valuable' - remember that your gift just has to pass reasonable approval by the Santa Council.
3. If your gift is rejected by the council twice, you will be banished to the GRINCH POOL OF GIFTERS FOR TRYING TO SKIRT THE GUIDELINE!!!! The best thing to do is OVERSHOOT
4. These staff will also heavily weight if the items are relative 'thoughtless filler' or not - if you are just submitting gold bars to meet the minimum and your recipient didn't ask for them, it is likely to be rejected!
5. If you want to join the Highroller pool, please include the phrase '67 67 67' at the end of your message to indicate that you read all of this.
6. DON'T BE A GRINCH!
7. please include a wishlist if you participate in this bracket.
Finally, Originalmind is going to give out, in order,
$80 IN STEAM CREDIT FOR THE BEST GIFT GIVEN,*
$60 IN STEAM CREDIT FOR THE 2ND BEST GIFT GIVEN,*
AND $40 IN STEAM CREDIT FOR THE 3RD BEST GIFT GIVEN!!!*
(also - I will be giving away $20 in steam credit to a random participant overall, and I am sure Brassx will add something to the pot.)
*if you are in the EU we may need to discuss an alternative
Feel free to DM me on discord at @pickle if you have any questions
Happy Gifting and remember to tell your friends to sign up!!
