The Official Bloodwake Flaked On Secret Santa Thread -- Check for the latest!

[cloudwalking]

READ THIS OP IN ITS ENTIRETY BEFORE SIGNING UP OR POSTING IN THIS THREAD

Welcome, everyone, to the THIRD 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 blow a whole bunch of money on your gift (unless you really want to). $15-$20 USD excluding shipping is the accepted standard, if you are worried about what you should spend.
• Don't send anything dangerous that could get you or the recipient in trouble with the law (hazardous or illicit materials, e.g. alcohol, drugs). 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 (Private Message) me with your shipping address. Include your real, full name, otherwise people can run into problems at the post office. NO P.O. boxes unless they can accept packages. (If you PMed me your address last year, yes, you have to do it again. I do not keep addresses.)

-> Click here to PM me <-

2. Post in this thread with the following info:
a) Where do you live?
b) Will you ship internationally? (flexibility on this is appreciated, we have a lot of international members)
c) Anything in particular that you want? (include game systems, clothes size, and any other relevant info)

-> Make sure you do BOTH steps 1 and 2 before proceeding! If you do not do BOTH steps you will not be registered! <-

3. The cut-off date is Sunday, November 2nd. On the 3rd 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.
- Keep in mind that international shipping can sometimes be costly depending on how much the package weighs. If you're short on cash this holiday season, keep your international packages light.
- You can usually calculate shipping depending on weight by either calling your local post office and asking, or using a shipping calculator on your country's postal service website.



Let me know if you have any other questions!

[muckhole]

A: I live in Canada

B: I'll bite the bullet and ship internationally

C: I'm easy. I own a 360 and a PS3, and I collect old systems and games. I'm a musician as well, and I love movies and/or anything that makes me laugh because I have the maturity of a 4th grader, I also sculpt, paint and draw, if that helps at all.

[cloudwalking]

since jarosh just volunteered to do the pulling-names-out-of-a-hat for me, that means i'll be able to participate this year yay!

so here is my info:

A) i live in switzerland

B) i will ship internationally

C) i really like exotic candy and chocolate (but vegetarian, please)! i also like cute stuff, especially if it's video game related (kirby, mario, yoshi). books/movies are good too, but please no horror movies. i love ancient egypt. i have all systems from this gen including handhelds.
i speak german so you can send me german books/movies too.

thanks!

also: jarosh and i will shop together for whoever gets chosen for me

[Mr. Gundam]

A) I live in the United States (Seattle)
B) I will ship internationally
C) I have all last gen consoles, and a PS3, PSP and DS. I get a kick out of crappy PS2 games from Japan, especially the Simple 2000 Series titles. My love for Gundam and other giant robots from Japan knows no bounds, so that would be an easy gift idea. I wear an adult small in shirts. I love gummi bears, Kinder Bueno's, Aerobars, Fran and Hi-Chew. I keep my movie collection up-to-date online, if you want to get me a Blu-ray or DVD.

If you're from Japan or know someone who is in Japan, I'd LOVE this. It's from Amazon.co.jp, and they don't ship games outside the country.

http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%83%90%E3%83%88%E3%83%AB-%E3%82%B5%E3%83%B3%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A4%E3%82%BA-~%E3%83%AA%E3%83%9F%E3%83%86%E3%83%83%E3%83%89-%E3%82%A8%E3%83%87%E3%82%A3%E3%82%B7%E3%83%A7%E3%83%B3~-Amazon-co-jp%E9%99%90%E5%AE%9A%E8%B2%A9%E5%A3%B2/dp/B0014PVELE/ref=dp_cp_ob_vg_title_0

[T234]

A: I live in the USA

B: I'll ship internationally

C: I own a 360. I have a strong interest in PC gaming as well but I have a a very weak graphics card. Shirt size is US extra large. I also like movies and good TV. Please do not send dildos. I am also a fan of THE GREATEST COLLEGE BASKETBALL PROGRAM OF THEM ALL, the University of Kentucky. I also dream every night of being someplace else, so something cool and local would fit the bill pretty well.

[tiesto]

A. I live in NY, USA
B. I have no problems with shipping internationally
C. I am a very very big fan of retro games, and RPGs. Definitely in the market for Saturn, Turbo Grafx, Game Gear, and Game Boy games. I own nearly every system you can think of, bar the SEGA-CD and poorer ones like the 3D0, 32x, Pippin and Jaguar. I can play imports for most of my systems. I also like dance music and DJ mix cds and I dunno, other cool, random things. Clothes-wise, I wear an adult Medium.

[Brehvolution]

I live in the USA

I will ship internationally

I have a PS3 and PC. I'm a life long fan of the San Francisco 49ers and Penn State football. I like Metal and long walks on the beach. I'm an after 8PM alcoholic.

[ferrarimanf355]

a) Jupiter, FL, USA
b) Maybe
c) If anyone sends me a T-Shirt, make it size XL. Maybe some Camaro-related stuff.  As for video games, let me get back to ya, Charlie... 

[cloudwalking]

everyone:

PLEASE make sure that you're PMing me your address AND posting in this thread.

don't just do one.

there have already been a couple of people who have screwed this up. (haven't PMed their address)

do both or you WILL NOT BE REGISTERED. i don't have time to PM everyone who forgets. READ THE OP.

thanks!

[lordmaji]

I want death... can someone get me that?

[MrAngryFace]

A.) Live in WA State USA
B.) Shipping to USA only
C.) Keep it interesting, but not perverse. Doesn't need to be new. Could be something homemade; but again, keep it interesting.

[Bloodwake]

1) Berea and/or London, KY (depends on the time of the month in December)
2) Yes, but be advised that if it is international that the package will probably be late, due to the fact I won't be getting any money until after I leave school for winter break.


3) I have a 360, PS3, and a Wii, as well as a PSP and DS. I also have both an HD-DVD and a Blu-ray player.

I will be 21 as of December 8th. If you can get away with sending alcohol, go for it.

I am a film major. You've seen me post what movies I'm watching. If it's something obscure but fucking great, throw it in there. Just because I sorta like the Star Wars prequels doesn't mean I won't appreciate what you do.

I wear an adult medium. Last year someone sent me a T-shirt with only Japanese symbols on the front. Cute foreign Japanese girls came up to me and read my T-shirt all the time. Which means: if you want to send me a T-shirt, go right on ahead.

Local stuff is also appreciated, especially if it isn't from the United States.

[Bloodwake]

A: I live in the USA

B: I'll ship internationally

C: I own a 360. I have a strong interest in PC gaming as well but I have a a very weak graphics card. Shirt size is US extra large. I also like movies and good TV. Please do not send dildos. I am also a fan of THE GREATEST COLLEGE BASKETBALL PROGRAM OF THEM ALL, the University of Kentucky. I also dream every night of being someplace else, so something cool and local would fit the bill pretty well.

I totally put no dildos in my post for the last year's secret santa. Which means that I will probably get one this year.

What would also be funny: if either me or T234 got each other for Secret Santa. If that happens FUCK THE POSTAL SERVICE, lol.

[demi]

A) Netherlands
B) Shipping internationally
C) Surprise me, preferably something you find cool. I enjoy games and travelling if you need to know.

Get this guy aids

[demi]

Keep talkin Kosma

[GilloD]

A- USA! USA! USA! Brooklyn!
B- Will ship to filthy commies abroad
C- I like little weird things. I also own a 360. Surprise me! If it's kind of weird and unique, I'd love it. I'm also a food nerd, so int'l delights are appreciated i.e. that weird green German jello. GUTTERSPEISER. I got like 10 packs when I was in Berlin.

[Van Cruncheon]

a) i live in the united socialist states of obamerikkka
b) i will ship internationally
c) i like hilariously inappropriate office tchotchkes, racism, crappy movies, political propaganda, and nerdy shiz. no dick pics.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

yes dick pics

[close]

[demi]

Oh and don't get Genghis as your santa

[Rman]

I'm in.  Synbios was my secret santa last year. lol.

[demi]

I actually own the very gift I gave Demi as a result of a trade

lol, I did not actually realise that until now... merry christmas!

[Howard Alan Treesong]

I'm in.

1) I live in California
2) I will gladly ship internationally
3) I own every currently viable game system. I'm a big SF fan and if you can go into some really fucking deep cuts then I would be interested. Recently I've been tracking down "forgotten" gems of the 1960s and 70s. I like indie music with lots of synthesizers. I like cool art books, pop culture, design, advertising, fonts. I don't really need any more tiny cute objects for displaying on a desk or as part of some apocryphal "collection."

[Howard Alan Treesong]

Also don't give me Patel, as my the wife and I are already getting him something.

:O

I bet I know what it is.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

I don't actually know what it is.

[close]

[xnikki118x]

1) I live in Pennsylvania in the USA
2) I'd prefer to just ship to the US or Canada
3) You could send me a piece of paper wrapped in a box, wrapped in another box, wrapped in another box. As long as I have something to open I'm really happy, hah.

I'm really easily amused and will like pretty much anything. Last year, Spencer sent me these little toy turtles that move around when you press on their shells. It was probably the most random gift I've ever been given and I loved it so much.

I like pretty much all animals (especially domestic cats, marine animals, cheetahs, and bottlenose dolphins), fun tshirts that aren't white (size adult small), most candy (especially sour stuff), cheap jewelry, and shot glasses with cool designs or city names on them. I don't like anything that smells or tastes like cinnamon, vanilla, or coconut.

I'm really excited about this. I'm one of those weirdos who loves winter and Christmas time and buying presents.

[Tauntaun]

A) NYC, NY.

B) I can ship international.

C) I'd like to get into Jazz and Classical so any jazz or classical CD's or guitar instructional books/dvds are great.  I also enjoy history and you guys seem to know a ton about history books or just sophisticated books in general.  

[Ecrofirt]

I'm definitely in.

A) Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, USA
B) I'd prefer to ship only within the US, but I will ship internationally if I need to.
C) Here's my Amazon Wishlist, that should give you a good starting point. If that doesn't help, please get in touch with me via email if you need to (check my EB profile, my email address is listed).

[demi]

Alright I'm in

A) I live in Ohio
B) I'll ship anywhere
C) Something with bubble bobble would be fuck awesome, I mean it could just be a picture that'd be tight you know. I'm not really picky. I mean a book would be cool, I'll read a book.
D) I want either muckhole or Joe Molotov as my sexy santa, or vice versa so I can seal the package with a kiss
E) AIDS for Kosma

[Bildi]

1) Australia
2) Ship anywhere
3) Some ideas - something totally ordinary from your country that is unusual to me (such as a piece of currency, a magazine, iconic food), CD of some music you like (guitar-centered stuff is cool too - rock, classical, jazz, weird stuff), a toy for my dog (who is small), books (nothing religion-centric, I like photography, arty crap, music, ancient history, always interested in reading something I know absolutely nothing about as well).

I just got a craving to listen to Paul Glibert (the guitarist), but have none of his stuff.  Thought that might be useful.

[The Sceneman]

*pm sent*

alright Im in

1) New fuckin Zealand
2) anywhere is fine
3) I just love getting gifts. Its a cliche I know.... I dunno. I love C-grade action films and handheld games. Ive got a DS and a PSP. Ummm yeah. Surprise me

[The Sceneman]

only If its region free. actually dont, I dont want that shit on my gamercard.

oh microsoft points are the best gift ever

[Bloodwake]

I live in Japan.
Will ship anywhere.
Not particularly into novelty stuff, but otherwise pretty much anything goes.

Oh, and I'll take this opportunity to tell Bloodwake that I was his secret santa last year as I think he still doesn't know!

WHOOO

Thanks, BTW.

[max_cool]

1) United States, Arizona
2) Would prefer not to ship internationally (been living on credit cards the last 3 months and only started my new job this week (yay federal government!))
3) games, I only got an Xbox and PS2 neither gets much play time. Camping stuff would be awesome. Just about anything would be awesome, whatever it is.

I will generally ship early, open whenever you want but it would be cool if opened near/on the holidays (or before you leave to visit family or something). 

[tiesto]

Oh yeah, I need to add this: if Borys gets me for Secret Santa, he is required to mail me a Polish mail order bride as my gift.

[The Sceneman]

I would prefer Mrs Borys

I hope I get Bildi or Tiesto or someone in Japan as my gift buyer 

[originalz]

I'm down

a) Japan
b) Yes
c) Don't care

[Bloodwake]

I'm going to go ahead and bump this so that it might get stickied.

[The Sceneman]

^ wtf its been stickied for a week or so? Joke post?

[Tauntaun]

^ wtf its been stickied for a week or so? Joke post?

He just wants some real change. 

[Sysgen]

Haven't seen this.  New to EB this year.  Great idea.

Live in New Jersey, USA. 

Will ship anywhere.

I crave anything hot n spicy. Please do not send me a Puerto Rican chick or pictures of one.  My wife won't like it.  If you want to buy something for her instead go for it.  I can handle it.  She's petite, about 4'11' around 93 pounds (yea skinny with big boobs).  Do not gift her an I'm with stupid t-shirt  .  If it's for me like I said anything hot n spicy but it must be sealed and not have meat.  Hot sauces are good, but are only a suggestion.  Do not sample and then send it. Do not want games.  I'm a bargain addict and I'm up to my ears in them.

Nice, I loooooove petite girls. My last g/f was 4'11" too. And hot sauce/spicy food kicks ass! My Secret Santa can send me a Puerto Rican chick though if they want, I never dated a Hispanic girl before.

[Bloodwake]

Wow, must have overlooked it the first time. Whoops.

[Joe Molotov]

I live in Oklahoma, USA. I'll ship anywhere.

Just get me whatever. A book, a Lost action figure, a movie, a T-shirt (XXXL), whatever. If you can't think of anything, I can always put Microsoft Points to use.  If you live in Japan, I want a Cheese-kun though, plz.

[Rman]

A) I live in the United States (NYC)
B) I will ship internationally
C) I love books, mostly non-fiction, cookbooks, history, and art and design treatises.  I also have a love of local, artisinal foods, such as jams, breads, cheeses, and pickles of all sorts.

[The Sceneman]

yeah almost time huh. I hope I get someone sweet

I want Joe so I can send him a picture of my dick (size S for maximum pleasure)

[Oblivion]

Now that I actually have a job, I guess I could participate in one of these things.

It's a shame I don't like most of you, though.

[Brehvolution]

Tea bags

[Joe Molotov]

Don't give demi my address, plz. 

[demi]

Joe is just shy. Go on, let me be his santa.

[MrAngryFace]

[Mr. Gundam]

[Mr. Gundam]

Booooo!! I was planning on getting their gift today. 

[Joe Molotov]

jarosh will be picking out the names in just a moment, and then i'll be working on sending the PMs out!

I wasn't joking about not giving my name to demi, btw.

[Ecrofirt]

Cloud, without sounding like a moron, did I PM you?

Because I've got no record of sent messages, and I've got a horrible memory.

demi never pmed me his address, so he's not registered. no worries.

yep, i've got your address.

names will be PMed out tomorrow in the morning, as per the OP. so for some of you, when you wake up you'll have your secret santa recipient waiting in your inbox.

[Ecrofirt]

Stupid demi.
Stupid, stupid demi.

[demi]
