  1. Infernal Dragon I love people very much.. with ketchup

    Since we have people from different countries, I think this event will be very interesting for us! \o/
    For anybody who don't know, this works like this:
    1. You give your adress to organizator
    2. You get randomly somebody's adress
    3. You send gift on this adress (if you don't - you're an asshole)
    4. You get gift from somebody
    5. Merry Christmas!

    I'll be pretty ok to organize it myself. But I would like to know how many people would like to participate in this

  2. My dad was already pretty suspicious about Rioter getting me something. They may think I belong to someone.


    What about just games on steam? Packages to peoples adress'.. I dunno seems a bit iffy. I don't want to give my adress to arrk for example :P


    Edit: He'd probably just send me a piece of paper saying toxic on it anyway.

    Could be ok for like UK/Western Europe, but would shipping costs not get pretty big to more far flung locations?

    E: Also this idea is cute as fuck

    Arrk wouldn't know that this is you :P

    Steam gifts are much less interesting and not that exciting ):

    Ugh, I don't know. Depends on service I guess. But I don't think that prices will be big as fuck.

    Well if I pull Jack out of the hat and I decide to make him an actual ban hammer, it could be many dolla bills. Suppose it depends on what you decide to get.
     
  8. Yeah this is gonna be bretty funny. I participated in some reddit secret santa's but this will be more fun since we kinda know each other.
     
  9. Infernal Dragon I love people very much.. with ketchup

    You can gift him the inflatable one.
    But if this is realy a big problem, I can just give you adress that isn't very far away from you

  12. Gaw discord is my friend now

    I can see this working and being fun, under a few conditions:
    • There are lots of participants. While it would work with a low number, the result would likely be boring. 10+ people would be great.
    • The organization is excellent. If the secret santa senders are leaked, it could result in people asking for stuff which would ruin the spirit of it.
    • A spending limit is set and adhered to. It would suck if someone got a packet of mints, while someone else got some sweet loot.
    I'm definitely in, if those conditions are met.

  13. Infernal Dragon I love people very much.. with ketchup

    • well for now seems like there will be 10+ participants \o/
    • Yeah, nobody know who's his santa. But Santa knows who is his gm :>
    • Well, I don't know how to avoid this. I think it should be just on Santa's conscience. I just can't say in rules "Send PS4 to everyone or go away"
     
  14. Jolly Long Arm The Moon... It's far away!

    totally agree there has to be a min spend which will be hard with all the different currencies
    and items which need shipping.. dont know how that will work tbh

    I'm Rioter, I don't believe in santa i laughed alot and was tempted to pick for lols
     
  15. Gaw discord is my friend now

    That's not what I said at all.. Spending limits are extremely common with secret santas. I've actually never seen a secret santa without a spending limit. Usually just a maximum amount is set, and participants are expected to send something around the price of the maximum limit. I think that limit would have to be low in this case, as I can see international shipping costing a lot to some people.
     
  16. Infernal Dragon I love people very much.. with ketchup

    Well I think that people just have to feel free about what they spend =\
     
  17. Gaw discord is my friend now

    We can do a poll closer to the date, allowing people to select the limit (or no limit) :)

    We could also allow people to buy steam games if international shipping is too expensive for them. It would be wise to pair any participants who are doing that together though, to minimize any disappointment.
     
  18. Infernal Dragon I love people very much.. with ketchup

    Well then we have to do it faster because I thought to start event at the middle of November, because for me for example packages shipping from 1 to 2 months ._.

    About spending limits, I don't know how big of an issue it will be, but average prices and cost of living and such should probably be kept in mind as well (i.e. someone from western Europe going to eastern Europe will find prices to be cheap, but if the same person would go to Scandinavia he or she would find prices to be expensive). Although I doubt it's a major issue.
