READ THIS OP IN ITS ENTIRETY BEFORE SIGNING UP OR POSTING IN THIS THREAD
Welcome, everyone, to the FIFTH 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. Demi will hopefully ban your ass forever if you flake 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). $25-$30 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.
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 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.
- 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!
