Bore Secret Santa 2011: SIGNUPS CLOSED. START BUYING STUFF.
« on: October 05, 2011, 03:59:35 PM »
 :teehee Cause I'm "in."

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

Welcome, everyone, to the SIXTH ANNUAL EVILBORE SECRET SANTA! 

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 5th. On the 6th 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!

I'm in for it this year. Wanted to last year, but didn't have the spare change.

a.) Oklahoma, USA
b.) I'd rather ship within the States, if that's possible.
c.) Amazon wishlist: http://amzn.com/w/T6L6UZDX0IQQ [But it doesn't have to be something from there, the odd, unexpected gift is nice too]

c) Gundam stuff, coasters and/or pint glasses from local breweries. You can try to send me local beer, but it's technically not legal. Haribo gummies, crazy kit kats. Cool coffee table books. Amazon or PSN giftcards. Maybe something for baby Gundam?

1) Michigan, United States of America
2) I'd rather not :(
3) Nothing fancy. I like to read (fantasy bookz), play PC games. A reason to dust off my DS wouldn't be bad

In terms of DS games, I like games like Fire Emblem; I've never played the DS version of FE. The only DS games I've had were Pokemon, NSMB, Mario Kart and Brain Training.

In terms of books, I do need to start the Malazan books to troll MAF. Also uh, the first book in the First Law Trilogy sounds interesting and is cheap

I also need to send White Man something, so I'll be asking MAF/Drinky for some tips.

Definitely in, I've been in it ever since I first signed up to EB...

a.) Lawn Guyland
b.) Sure
c.) Well, oldskool/retro games (Especially SEGA-CD as my collection is just Lunar 1, Willy Beamish and Popful Mail... or retro boxed PC titles!) are always good... I tend to like retro games, indie games and Japanese-made titles. Also, interesting electronic music CDs, artbooks, and random stuff for my condo would be good.

a) Yes. Er, "in." Wait, no, this is address. Japan!
2) I'm up for shipping internationally this year. I kinda felt like a party pooper for demurring.
ºøº) I like COMICS, all music except country and opera, movies, games, and long walks on the beach. I mainly play 360, but have all current consoles. My PS3 collection is LA Snore, LBP1 (thanks, Borys!), Batman AA, and inFamous 1. Pretty tiny, so adding to it would be great. Xbox games, you can scope my gamertag and see what I like, and which ones I play the most.

2) Will ship anywhere except Kentucky
3) Anything I can open at work and/or wont put me on a watch list

Give me someone who we can laugh at when they open their "RON PAUL 2012" XXXL t-shirt :teehee

Might post an amazon wishlist later.

fucking hell, this time of year already!

yep, I'm in, again! Love Bore SS. This will be my fifth one! I didn't participate in the '06 one as I was a forum noob at the time.

1) Nu Zuhland

2) of course I will go international (I have to)

3) I like all kinds of shit. Got a major hard-on for vidya but I like t-shirts, knick knacks and food too. Got a PSP, DS, hacked wii. A steam game for mac would be nice?! I'm always happy to receive any gifts and as they say, "it's the thought that counts"

2. Yes
3. Don't need any game software.  DVDs are nice, I can play either Region 1 or Region 2.  Local candy/junk food is also a great option!  Really though, almost anything would be fine.

I'm going to be on vacation during the winter holidays, so be careful with dates!  If you get me, you'll have to send it either a few weeks before or a few weeks after Christmas, if it arrives while I'm gone there's a chance it'll be sent back since I'll be away for a few weeks!

A: CANADA
B: I'll go international (you can ship man-seed if it's correctly labeled, correct?)  :-*
C: THINGS I LIKE: I have a 360 and PS3, a very stupid and juvenile sense of humour, and a love of old retro video games and promotional materials, unique knock-offs, techy gadgets etc. Also, gold.

I collect coffee mugs from unique places.  I also really dig local t-shirts (I wear a 2xl).  Steam gifts are always appreciated.  If you can think of anything else that is cool and unique to your area (like a particular kind of liquor, coffee, random item is produced there) then I would love that too!

I guess I won't be lame this year.

a) Rockville, Maryland

b) Sadly, no; 2G2D lingers on.

c) Not at all picky; I like games (X360), music.  My post history should give a good direction to go in, but I'll put together an Amazon wishlist later.  Local stuff is good - particularly things that aren't available anywhere on the east coast; the weirder the better.  I also like booze, skeletons and authentic Nazi paraphernalia.

What year was this? Let me check the old SS sheets when I get home to see if I can find out who it was.

I started doing Bore Secret Santa in 2009 and you didn't sign up in 2009 or 2010. Cloudwalking was in charge in 2007 and 2008, so you should check with her if you want to know who ripped you off.

For those worried about cost, dont. Half price books? Grab a few good ones there. Its the THOUGHT not the dollar amount. Make it yourself? Is it interesting? Good deal send it.

You don't have to spend crazy money, but put effort and thought into whatever you do for your person.
