The 2nd annual EVILBORE SECRET SANTA! -- CHECK YOUR PMs! Names are out!

[cloudwalking]

** update ** IF YOU DO NOT RECEIVE YOUR GIFT BY THE 7TH OF JANUARY, PLEASE PM ME

So, welcome to the SECOND ANNUAL EVILBORE SECRET SANTA! :elf

Here are the brief rules. If you can't comply with these, don't sign up.

• ONLY SIGN UP IF YOU ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO PARTICIPATE. I'll personally ban forever anyone who flakes off on sending a gift. If you have to back out for some substantially important reason PLEASE let me know well before Christmas.
• There's no need to spend a whole bunch of money on your gift (unless you really want to). $15-$20 or under is just fine.
• Don't send anything dangerous that could get you or the recipient in trouble with the law (hazardous or illicit materials). That should be obvious.
• Try to wrap the gift up, what's the fun in getting a gift if you can't unwrap it? If you're buying online, places like Amazon have a gift wrap option that is pretty cheap.
• Please try to send the package so it will arrive on or before Christmas. There will be a grace period for late packages, since it's a very busy mail time.

Okay! If you've read all of that and decided you still want to participate, here's what you need to do.

1. PM me with your shipping address. Include your real, full name, otherwise people can run into problems at the post office. (If you already PMed me this info, you don't have to do it again.)

2. Post in this thread with the following info.
a) Where do you live?
b) Will you ship internationally?
c) Anything in particular that you want? (include game systems, clothes size, and any other relevant info)

3. The cut-off date is Saturday, November 10th. On the 11th I'll send you your recipient's user name and shipping address.

4. Now that you know who you're buying for, get shopping! Try to send out your gift with plenty of time for it to get there on or before Christmas Day.

Other things:

- If you want, you can include your name/username on the gift to your recipient. I will eventually post a list of who was matched up with who, so if you want to remain anonymous until then, that's okay too.
- Keep the gifts age-appropriate, no sending porn to minors kthx.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

--

We have 27 people confirmed.
That means you posted in this thread and PMed me your address.
You guys are all set and ready to go:

won't ship internationally




nothing in particular.

[FlameOfCallandor]

1. I cant PM you. Can i still participate?

2. Post in this thread with the following info.
a) Austin Texas
b) No
c) Books

[MrAngryFace]

1.) Washington State
2.) I will not ship internationally, I almost always mess it up. ITS COMPLICATED!
3.) Be creative. Last year I got cookies and a nightlight, and that was awesome. Please, nothing perverted or hazardous to my health.

[Mr. Gundam]

This is copied directly from the GAF Secret Santa thread.

a) USA -- Seattle, WA
b) I will ship internationally.
c) I like Gundam (no G or Wing, though), Shin Megami Tensei, Macross, Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy and Totoro stuff.

I've got a PS2 (JP and US), PS3, Dreamcast, DS, Xbox, Gamecube, and NES at my disposal. I'd be interested in PS3 games like Blazing Angels or Call of Duty 3, and PS2 games like Onimusha Dawn of Dreams. If my Secret Santa has access to Japanese PS2 games, stuff like Sengoku Basara 2, Namco X Capcom, Super Robot Wars, or Simple Series 2000 titles (already have EDF2 and Oneechanbara 2 Special Edition) would be awesome.

I love Haribo Gummi Bears, Sour Patch Kids, Mars Bars/Milky Way Bars, Hi-Chew and Fran.

Here's my DVD wishlist, there's also a link to everything I own.
http://distantmantra.dvdaf.com/wish-list

You can also ignore all of the above and get me whatever you want. I like to give people lots of ideas, as I can have a hard time coming with gift ideas for others. I think that's more than enough to work with.

[T234]

Backwoods Kentucky
Yes, assuming I don't fuck it up.
Consoles: XBOXEN (both), PS2, PSP, and a non-working saturn. Soon a PC.
Clothes: Shirt size X-large
likes: everything but J-RPGs (got a whole shelf full of those that I'll never beat).

[Mupepe]

I'm in!

a) Houston, TX
b) I can handle that
c) Um, i have no idea.  Most of you know what I'm obsessed with.  The current love of my life is Kelly Clarkson.  I only own a 360, NES and soon a Saturn (well and a good gaming PC but I don't use it much).

Edit: Actually I love posters, wallscrolls and figurines/toys/models from video games and movies.

I'm always saying I want shit and I rant about the stuff that I love.  So yeah.  lolz

Edit 2: I like metaphysics and philosophy as a side interest as well

[Himu]

distant is really hungry for some gifts

[Phoenix Dark]

distant is really hungry for some gifts

maybe i should roll over and touch his booty

[Mr. Gundam]

distant is really hungry for some gifts

I'm doing FOUR online Secret Santas, so I made sure it's lengthy. Also, I have a terrible time coming up gift ideas for people, so I make sure others have lots to work with if they're just as stumped as I can be!! Whoever gets me doesn't have to go with any of the ideas I listed. If you can come up with something totally awesome on your own, kudos to you.

[Himu]

a) USA - Fla.
b) Yeah, sure thing.
c) Nothing particular, just something I could enjoy.

[Mr. Gundam]

Himuro, can you play Japanese PS2 games? I have some ideas just in case I end up getting you.

[Himu]

I don't have a modded ps2 or swap magic, so no. But I'm going to get swap magic soon anyways.

[Stocky]

Colorado
No
Anything game related (I only have a 360, dudes). A Wii? Plwease
Really, since this is a secret santa thing, I'll take just about anything EXCEPT PORN OR ANYTHING CLOSE TO IT.

[Synbios459]

1)USA, OK
2)No.
3)Anything really.

[Rman]

1. New York
2. That's fine with me.
3. Surprise me.  Anything in good taste.

[demi]

1) OHIO
2) SURE
3) Nothing from Robby

[demi]

WTF? EAT SHIT YOU'RE GETTING A USED CONDOM

[Synbios459]

WTF? EAT SHIT YOU'RE GETTING A USED CONDOM

...That was used by demis mom!

[demi]

You keep talking but no presents are coming to your house either way

[Madrun Badrun]

WTF? EAT SHIT YOU'RE GETTING A USED CONDOM

...That was used by demis mom!

Demi's mom doesn't use condoms, why do you think Demi is here? 

[DJ_Tet]

You keep talking but no presents are coming to your house either way

Who peed in your cheerios? 


Oh, and


a)  North Carolina

b)  Yes

c)  I like videogames, sports, and movies.  Star Wars is a fetish of mine, also I have lots of old systems.  I'm open to just about anything but candy/food, I'm not picky and I'm very appreciative 

[Stocky]

You keep talking but no presents are coming to your house either way

That wasn't nice.

[xnikki118x]

a) Where do you live?
Pennsylvania, USA

b) Will you ship internationally?
I'd rather not but I will if you need.

c) Anything in particular that you want? (include game systems, clothes size, and any other relevant info)
I like funny T-shirts, adult size small or youth size XL. I love cats, dogs, and marine animals. Grey's Anatomy is the best show on TV. I love Christmas tree ornaments, preferrably ones that won't entice a curious kitty to eat them. I like fridge magnets of different places. If you get me, please send me a postcard of where you live! I'm extremely easy to shop for and would be crazy happy if you just sent me a box with a postcard in it, honestly. I just like unwrapping things.

[demi]

Nikki I'd love to send you my autographed Juliana CDs

[Synbios459]

I don't understand, why bother saying what we want when we won't know who we're sending things to?

[demi]

I don't understand, why bother saying what we want when we won't know who we're sending things to?

... that is the point, doofus

You get the person's name, you see their post, and send them something that seems appropriate if they put something down

[cloudwalking]

i have gotten honestly 10 PMs about people not wanting to have to deal with synbios... if one person can come forward and honestly say that they would be okay with synbios being their secret santa and therefore having their address, i will let him participate.

[MrAngryFace]

Just give him to FoC or something. I just dont trust him.

[The Sceneman]

1) New Zealand

2) Of course!

3) Video games! Preferably ones I dont own, and on handheld as I live in PALland. I have a GC Freeloader though (but already own most GC games worth owning). But anything really, I just like getting presents as my family doesnt even give me stuff for my birthday anymore  :'( :'( :'(. DVDs, t-shirts (Im a large), CDs, Records, whatever

[Synbios459]

But I thought it was anonymous? Like you are given someones address with "secret santa #12, tampa, fl, etc."

[Synbios459]

NM, I get it now.

[zeergoth]

1. Burden, Kansas
2. Will not ship internationally.

[Ecrofirt]

Pennsylvania, United States
Will Ship to USA and Canada
I've wanted one of those Mario/Luigi figures that they sell at import shops that are like 6-10 inches tall or whatever (something like http://i22.tinypic.com/1zp5vro.jpg) so that I can decorate my desk a bit.
I'd also be interested in any kind of Viking figure or what have you for pretty much the same puropse.
I don't know if they make anything like this, but a Link figure from Wind Waker/Minish Cap/Four Swords that's about the same size would be fantastic. Oh god, would it be fantastic.
I'll try to beef up my Amazon wish list a bit in the coming weeks and post a link to that as well.

Don't worry, if I get you, I'll give you something really nice to apologize to what I did for Nikki.

[Bloodwake]

Berea, Kentucky, US
I can ship to the US and Canada, if I have to, other than that, I can't ship internationally outside of that.

Okay, here we go.

Game systems: 360, Wii, PS3, PS2, GameCube, pretty much any retro gaming systems. DS, if I can find it.
Clothing size: Adult medium. If you haven't seen the pictures, I'm pretty goddamn skinny.
Films: if you decide to go this route, I would appreciate if you send me films that you think are awesome that I haven't seen. I prefer Blu-Ray or DVDs. NO HD DVD please, I don't have a player.

Basically, other than that, I'm a pretty well-rounded gamer and film fan, and if you just want to send me something in relation to that rather than a game or a film, that's fine. I do have a bizarre music taste that dabbles inside and out of the mainstream, so unless you are planning to send me a big bunch of Death Cab for Cutie shit, that's probably not a good route to go.

BTW, if TVC participates and he gets me: GO FOR THE FILM ROUTE. I've hunted down a few of the films you've talked about on the forum, and I haven't been disappointed yet.

I'm also a fan of cigars.

NO DILDOS. FUCK YOU IF YOU SEND THAT TO ME.

[demi]

If youget TVC, you are probably gonna get a dildo

[Ichirou]

If youget TVC, you are probably gonna get a dildo

A used one.

[Bloodwake]

If youget TVC, you are probably gonna get a dildo

If I get a dildo, it better be with a fucking awesome movie. That's all I've got to say.

I've got a bunch of their old 7" singles, some signed concert posters, and their old Elsinore Records tapes...

Holy shit, that's fucking awesome.

[The Sceneman]

I want Bloodwake to be my secret santa so I can send him What Becomes of the Broken Hearted

[whiteACID]

a) Chicago
b) Will you ship internationally? no
c) something cool. Last year I got books and I read them all. So books are a good gift, especially non-fiction. but something unique would be nice

[FlameOfCallandor]

Can I get WhiteAcid??  I like books too.

My cousin went to college with Nick Harmer, so I ended up seeing DCFC play house parties up in Bellingham all the time in 1998/1999. Became an uber fan early on, and ended up seeing them 50+ times. My interest has waned over the last year, but a new album will fix that, more than likely.

[cloudwalking]

btw no one has yet to come forward and tell me they want synbios to join

sorry synbios... it's looking bad for you

Goddamn. There needs to be a new album.

I think my head would fucking explode. At one point Death Cab T-shirts made up like 25% of my wardrobe. No shit.

I became a fan shortly before the Postal Service stuff came out.

Nope. Plans came out in the Summer of 2005. Chris Walla has a solo record coming out, though.

[xnikki118x]

Nikki I'd love to send you my autographed Juliana CDs

I couldn't take those from you!

[CajoleJuice]

a) New York
b) I'll ship to internationally
c) I particularly like action movies, but I'd like to think I appreciate any good movie. I haven't seen too many "classic" movies and own even less, so there's something to go on (maybe help me start a Criterion collection?  ). I have a PS2, Gamecube, DS, and 360 out of the last-gen and current systems. By early next year, I hope to have a up-to-date PC, so that's fair game as well. I love baseball (LOS METS), science and history books, rock music, cool movie/music posters, and I take a medium in shirts. But really, I'm sure I'll appreciate anything. A surprise is always nice.

[Ecrofirt]

Let's get this party started soon! I already got another person at GAF with a completely generic list of stuff, so we might as well complete the circle here!

[Mr. Gundam]

Yeah, let's get it going! I'm picking up my GAF person's gift today after work. I lucked out, Pink Godzilla happened to have a relatively cheap copy of Mobile Suit Gundam: One Year War (JP PS2) in stock.

[hyp]

a) california
b) yes, i will ship internationally.
c) doesn't matter, surprise me. 

i'm a fan of quirky, weird, "out of the ordinary" and abstract shit.  not much of a mainstreamer or pop culture fan.  though i am a media whore and enjoy books, movies, games and music. i'm very particular about music, mostly enjoy experimental electronic tunes, indie hiphop & instrumentals, and 8-bit synth.  hope that helps. 

[demi]

I want a book. Whoever gets me, send me a book. Preferably a real book, not a gag book. I want to read a book for Christmas. You could send me two books if you want.

[Ichirou]
