UG Secret Santa 2018 [Sign Ups Closed] - Mr EliteL - Nov 24th, 2018

U N I V E R S A L G A M I N G ' S
SECRET SANTA 2018

Guidelines


1. Mr EliteL will write down the names of those signed up for the Secret Santa twice, once on paper then again on a strip of paper to fold and put into a hat and draw them out at random to pair them up. To demonstrate the possible outcomes, it will go something like this:

Mr EliteL (Secret Santa for) > [ Random ]
Moonface (Secret Santa for) > [ Member ]
Member (Secret Santa for) > [ Moonface ]
Moderator (Secret Santa for) > [ Mr EliteL ]
Random (Secret Santa for) > [ Moderator ]


2. If the same people are paired up as last year, names will be drawn again until that person has someone different.

3. I will then PM everyone who has entered with who they'll be making a present for.

4. You will have until the 25th of December to New Year's to complete your presents. On the day or whenever you're ready to, post them up in this topic.

If your gift is ready but you won't be able to post in the specified dates, you may give the present before then or when you are finished.

I don't want anyone getting pressured if they haven't got their present done in time. So the deadline window is by the 25th of December to the 31st. Although if you're making a time consuming present then say what you're doing for them, or hint towards it, and say when you predict you'll have that done.

Forms of gifts:
You can do artwork, a form of literature (poem, story etc), purchase a digital game, game points card, or even send a present if you know the address. If you're sending a present through post, do tell me at some point through PM so I can tell the receiver. Or if you feel it's better to, PM them yourself.

RULES

  • Do NOT tell anyone about who you are making a gift for, ESPECIALLY who you have been paired with.
  • Be grateful for who and what you get.
  • Take your time. Preferably don't leave it to the last minute.
  • If you get stuck on what to do, either PM a member you believe will be able to help you or attempt to make an indirect question/topic on the forum that the recipient of your gift may answer/comment.
  • If you wish to drop out, please send a PM to [me. If you have been assigned a receiving member prior to dropping out, they will be assigned to the member who is your giftee.


Presents to be completed and posted on 25th December - 31st December

(If there's a problem, notify Mr EliteL )

I should've set this up sooner, but isn't the latest I've done so, so there's that. XD Hope for 4 perhaps to join, although did do 3 last year. Going to have sign ups open until 2nd December this time.


RE: UG Secret Santa 2018 [Sign Ups Open] - Karo - Dec 2nd, 2018

So I have a question EL do you think I should enter even if I can only make something? LIke I honestly feel like something I make won't be up to a standard that everyone would be happy with currently, but thats really all I can offer right now.

(Gotta get that license so I can get a dang job!)


RE: UG Secret Santa 2018 [Sign Ups Open] - Mr EliteL - Dec 2nd, 2018

That's fine if you can only make something. That's why there's the suggested gift ideas, no need to spend money if you couldn't. Although I don't think this will happen this year, I left it too late and should've tried to come up with something to give it a bit more change/interest. I'll leave it open for the remainder of today though.


RE: UG Secret Santa 2018 [Sign Ups Open] - fantanoice - Dec 3rd, 2018

I'll join~


RE: UG Secret Santa 2018 [Sign Ups Open] - Mr EliteL - Dec 3rd, 2018

Oh cool, really? Yuri, if you want to confirm your participation then I'll get this going with the three of us. If not, then won't start.


RE: UG Secret Santa 2018 [Sign Ups Open] - ShiraNoMai - Dec 3rd, 2018

I'll do it, too! Sorry I'm late to respond D=


RE: UG Secret Santa 2018 [Sign Ups Open] - fantanoice - Dec 4th, 2018

When do sign ups close?


RE: UG Secret Santa 2018 [Sign Ups Open] - Mr EliteL - Dec 4th, 2018

Cool, Shira! Grin Was going to be Sunday, or Monday when I got online but since Yuri showed interest and has yet to get back to me on that, and with you two joining during that, it'll stay open until Yuri replies. Or until the end of today now. Don't want to keep leaving this with no draws happened yet, as there's 20 days left before Xmas (plus the extra time after that).


RE: UG Secret Santa 2018 [Sign Ups Open] - Karo - Dec 4th, 2018

Sure I'll enter sorry for the late reply!


RE: UG Secret Santa 2018 [Sign Ups Open] - Moonface - Dec 4th, 2018

I'll toss my hat in the ring if you need it to make this work out better. Wink


RE: UG Secret Santa 2018 [Sign Ups Open] - Mr EliteL - Dec 4th, 2018

Thanks, and just in time, Moony. Sweet, 5 people. I'll make sure me, Yuri and Moonface don't get the same as last year. Will be doing PM's shortly.

EDIT: PMs sent.


RE: UG Secret Santa 2018 [Sign Ups Closed] - fantanoice - Dec 6th, 2018

If you're looking for gift ideas, stuff I like:
* Nintendo (Pokémon, Mario, Zelda, Animal Crossing, Smash, Star Fox)
* Rareware (BK, Conker)
* Visual novels (Ace Attorney, Zero Escape, Danganronpa)
* Indie games
* Audiobooks
* Tech
* Game dev

Gift cards are fine but make sure they work in Australia.

I also have Steam so I can receive games on that. Wishlish (may need to be logged in):

If you wanted to do something art/creative then something related to my Pokemon Nuzlocke streams would be really neat. Either from my current Lets Go Eevee run or "Lestat" from the movie "Queen of the Damned" / Anne Rice novels as a Crobat.

Thanks fam. Smile

Since it's the first due day, I will announce now that I have Yuri. What I'm doing isn't finished yet, and didn't have time today to do that, which I was hoping to do. Hoping I'll have it done on Thursday.


RE: UG Secret Santa 2018 [Sign Ups Closed] - Moonface - Dec 25th, 2018

I tried accessing your wishlist Fanta but it tells me there's nothing to show even when I'm logged in. I'm not sure if maybe it's set to only be visible by friends or something if there should be games showing in there.


RE: UG Secret Santa 2018 [Sign Ups Closed] - Karo - Dec 26th, 2018

So Nikki I went on your Steam wishlist and bought you something. Hope you like it ^.^
