Title: Secret Santa 2010
Post by: NecroPhile on 10/06/2010, 01:09 PM
/xmaszonk.jpg

The Secret Santa that Windy put together a couple years ago was good fun, so let's do it again.  Here's the rules:

1.  If you have troubles following through in a timely manner, please don't waste everyone's time.  Do us all a favor and don't sign up.
2.  Signups will run from now til November 1st, after which time I'll match y'all up and send out your shopping lists.
3.  Send me your name, address, and a list of at least a half dozen games (ideally PCE related) that you'd like to receive, including condition preference.  Keep in mind that the more options your Santa has, the better the chances of him (or her) finding a good deal in the time allotted.
4.  Value of your gift(s) should be in the $10-20 range - real value and not bloated OMG R@R3!! eBay value.
5.  Gifts shall be mailed by December 10th at the latest, but not too early either (this ain't Secret Thanksgiving Pilgrim).  If for some reason you won't be able to meet that time frame, please let me know so that alternate plans can be made and nobody ends up crying in their eggnog.
6.  Again, don't sign up if you won't follow through.  Failure to hold up your end of the bargain will result in forum shunning, mockery, and hopefully banishment.  Plus, I'll have your toaster possessed by the disembodied digital soul of a lunatic Talkie Toaster (I toast, therefor I am), and I'll send out a robot zombie to defile your garage door opener.
7.  Most importantly, have fun.  This ain't supposed to be work.

P.S. - I'm open to suggestions for making this better or if additional stipulations need to be made.  Don't be shy - I don't bite too hard.



For more holiday happiness, a random winner will be chosen from this year's participants to receive a copy of the Turbo Legacy Poster (http://www.cafepress.com/pcenginefx.260707543).

Additionally, another lucky Secret Santa will be randomly chosen to receive a second gift(s), courtesy of Roy.



Gift lists and their respective recipients have been sent to all Secret Santas.  Let the shopping begin!

Don't try to derail my thread with your trollish behavior.  Such an issue would be between Missa, nat, and maybe Windy, but if you feel the need to discuss it further, then feel free to start your own thread.

No derail or trolling intended.  I was just mentioning it as it was one of your rules for this years.  I would think members would actually care that a member was left out last time.  I guess not.  I won't mention it again.

I will be listing more than just tg16/pce wants to make it easier... i love my DC & ps1 as well :)

Post by: Windy on 10/06/2010, 08:00 PM
It's a great Idea and was a ton of fun hope you guys enjoy it. As usual I will be sending gifts out to peeps :) Missa was the only one that did not recieve a gift, and was quite hurt. I tried to make up for it and sent a gift to her, but she did not consider the gift from me as a part of the secret santa and felt the gift should have come from the person that drew her name. All in all, I would say it was a great success I would recommend it to anyone. So don't be discouraged at all to join this event it gets peeps involved and is a happy occasion. I might be in as well let me think on it a bit. I will be happy to help out in any way I can Your rules are very good and hopefully everyone who signs up will keep their end of the bargain. Hopefully there wont be any New Years Santa's either  8-[

I'm working on a shortlist of games as we speak. So many great titles out there; it's difficult to narrow them down.  :-k

People should probably put up a few games in their want list in case we can't find the one they want or in case we can score one or two of their wants for under the $20 limit.

Who says it has to be a shortlist? NecroPhile said it had to be at least 6, but he also said the more options the better!

Secret Santa is awesome. No ifs, ands, or buts. Really glad we're doing it this year.  :mrgreen:

OK. Here is my shortlist, which may be updated before the names are drawn. I think these are all pretty decent games. Let me know if I'm underestimating the prices of any of these.

1. Tiger Heli
2. Military Madness
3. Side Arms Special
4. Legend of Valkyrie
5. Override
6. Final Soldier
7. Forgotten Worlds

Ebay is not outright forbidden, only the retarded OMG R@R3!!1! pricing is.  Check completed sales and places like rising stuff (http://www.risingstuff.com/store) or hit-japan (http://www.gameofjapan.com) for ideas on more honest values.

However many you can get and still stay within the $10 to $20 range.  If they want cheapies, it might be quite a few; if they want something pricey, then it'll probably just be the one.

Sparky's got the right idea.  Try to send it so that it arrives shortly before Christmas, allowing for shipping times depending on shipping method and how far it has to go.

Optional - separately wrap your gift (festively, of course) so that your recipient can place it under the tree with all the other gifts and open it on Christmas morn.

They're supposed to be x-mas gifts, so shoot for delivery shortly before x-mas.  First class mail to anywhere in the US should take a week or less; if it's destination is outside the US (and vice versa), then allow two weeks to be safe.

Quote from: guest on 11/11/2010, 11:05 AMReminder bump.  I hope you Santas are keeping the elves busy.



For poops and giggles, here's a rundown of the most popular titles: Son Son II at five requests and Aeroblasters, Forgotten Worlds, L-Dis, Override, Valis, Valis II, Valis III, and Valis IV at three requests each.  Nice picks.  8)
Unwrapping Son Son II would make for a nice Christmas morn.  :wink: But, any obey will do. :mrgreen: I will be starting my shopping this Tuesday. It's been a little late because of medical bills and all. That purchase of Viewpoint didn't help matters any, but my seller was already holding it for me for a good while so I couldn't pull out on that one. Anyhow, let the season of sharing commence!!!!!! :dance:

Damn moose caboose is taking too long. I'm going to ship either Thursday or Friday. If I ship by Friday that still gives three weeks, which should be more than enough time for the customs agents to have their Turbob fun and get my parcel out.

I quickly closed it and wrapped the box up.  I'm about 80% sure this is my secret Santa gift, and there is NO WAY I'm opening it before xmas!!!

xmas morning for me- I still haven't figured out who my secret santa is.

Curse you trent!!
Quote from: chany60126 on 12/18/2010, 10:59 PMI got mine in the mail today. I recognized the name right away after meeting him in Turbo Fest.  :D

Let's see if I can hold out 'till Christmas.

Thanks!

Another update on teh Pony Express...

So my original Secret Santa package bounced back to me after a month in the mail... it went to three different PO's in Jersey. Thankfully the follow up made it today!

...wait. A Mystery Package? Wrapped in Sparky stickers? from VEGAS? wait.... :-s

Quote from: RoyVegas on December 15, 2010, 07:57:41 PMThe second secret santa gift is all boxed up and ready to be sent out tomorrow.  Who will be the one to receive gifts from two santas? Time will tell.
:-s :shock: :shock: :dance: :dance:

WOW. Seriously? I have no idea what I did to deserve this, but thank you again Roy!!! Hopefully I can contain my excitement enough not to open it till Saturday...

Merry X-Mas y'all!

I just got my Secret Santa gift today and I opened it because I wanted to obey sooner rather than later and I want to tell my secret Santa that he (don't think it's a she?) is my new hero! You really outdid yourself I wouldn't have imagined I would have gotten all the stuff I received and this is by far the best x'mas gift I have ever gotten! I have wanted these games forever and now my dream has came true! :-D

Also many thanks to NecroPhile for organizing this for us! :)

Um, shouldn't be too difficult.  I remember just navigating thru some pretty easy menus to get to the main game.  Give it another try!

It's similar to Double Dungeons/ Dungeon Master (Dungeon Crawler/RPG), with scifi robots and monsters, and has pretty good animation in the movement through the corridors.  Easily worth a few bucks and loads of fun!!

Rags was also the lucky winner of the most deliciously wrapped gift Santa has ever given! Feast your eyes on this one boys:

So it looks like nobody was stiffed this year and nothing was lost in Santa's sleigh.  If you did get the short end of the stick but I missed it, send me a PM so I know where to send the Crushinator.

Only ten months or so 'til y'all get to sign up for Secret Santa 2011!  8)

Yeah, NecroPhile did a great job at keeping things organized. You were missed from the Secret Santler celebrations this year, Windy. :)
