First Annual Vault F4 Secret Santa Gift Extravaganza

[English]

​

​

​

What is it?​

One of the more popular holiday games, Secret Santa is a fun and easy way for a group of friends, family members or co-workers to exchange gifts.
The basic concept of the Secret Santa game is simple. All of the participants’ names are placed into a hat, box, etc. and mixed up. Each person then chooses one name from the box, but doesn't tell anyone which name was picked. He/she is now responsible for buying a gift for the person selected.

When the Secret Santa wraps his/her gift, he/she should label it with the recipient's name but doesn't indicate whom the present is from. (Remember, most of the fun is in the secrecy.)



How it is going to work

Everyone who is interested is going to post that they want to participate. The spending limit for your gift will be $20. The point of the limit is to keep this fun (the event is not meant to be a burden). I will keep the list of all the people that are participating.

The gifts will be mostly Steam Games/Gifts to keep it simple. If you do not have a problem with receiving an actual physical gift, you can PM me your address and I will give that to your Secret Santa.

People have until November 31st to sign up for this great event! On December 1st, you will all be assigned your Secret Santa! It is now time to get those gifts! You can try and find out what to get your person (and risk exposure!) or just improvise and get them what you think they will like.

Everyone will have until December 22nd to buy the gift you are going to give. On December 23rd, at 10:00PM Eastern the gifts will be given! Everyone will need to be on TeamSpeak or Steam for the giving! Make sure that you have your Steam Account associated with your forum account.

A couple of points:
1. people should have steam wish-lists that are publicly viewable to aid the Santa in gift selection. This way you have something to consider/fall back on or use if you don't know the person at all, or so you can watch the Steam sales for something they might like.

2. Operators will have a discussion about repercussions for people that fail to buy gifts. Last year we had bans as such, but suffice it to say there WILL be repercussions if you fail to buy a gift for your selected person. TBH, it's a really dick thing to do, given the spirit of the event/season and I sincerely hope it does not happen.

Other than that,Let's make this fun, wacky, and thoroughly enjoyable for everyone involved!

I had to change text color so that it wasn't invisible in my quote.

Grand ol' thing, your address, to be plasterin' out to the internet.

 

[lonesome killer]

Hey Pyro, you only live a couple hours from me. Don't worry, I'm not going to murder you.

 

[LavaRed]

I removed the address from this thread and sent it to English in a PM. Please remember, for security reasons, to PM your address to English if you are consenting to receive a physical gift

Wait. Wait, what? Oh god. I'm scared now.

Alright! I will be consolidating the list today and I will PM everyone with who their person is!

 

[English]

Alright I have sent everyone their person! It was randomly generated (Yay integer generators!) so no complaining! You must PM me when you have bought the gift for your person. Remember you have until the 22nd of December to buy your gift! Go and do it! Everyone should make a wish list on Steam!

 

[English]

If you have yet to receive a person, please PM me. I was pretty sure that I sent it out to everyone, but apparently I forgot someone so I can make mistakes ;o)
