YOU KNOW HOW IT GOES
(http://i.imgur.com/xvYnN.jpg)
LET'S GET THIS SANTA PARTY STARTED.
THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE HAVE EARNED THEIR "SENT LYRAI INFO" HAT:
Lyrai -> ENVY
Brentai -> JOXAM
Beat Bandit -> DOGSTAR
Envy -> SMILER
Kayma -> SILVERSONG
Smiler -> BRENTAI
Roger -> DOGSTAR
Roger, Son of Roger -> BUGE
Zach (Not Cloud) -> DOGSTAR
Silversong -> ZACH
Joxam -> TED BELMONT
Caithness -> ROGER
Ted Belmont, rival of Chad Dracula -> CAITHNESS
Buge -> ROGER
Dogstar -> DEFENESTRATION
Dogstar II -> BEAT BANDIT
Dogstar III, Undead -> KAYMA
Defenestration -> LYRAI
EACH YEAR, WE COME TOGETHER IN A VAGUELY ORGANIZED FASHION TO CELEBRATE THE TRUE MEANING OF ARCMAS: TRADING USED GOODS AND INFLICTING HORRIBLE DVD SETS AND PORN ON OTHERS. Or something like that.
AND THIS YEAR, IT'S NO DIFFERENT except we're starting signups 2 months early.
SHOULD YOU WISH TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS YEAR'S DIRTY SANTA, PM LYRAI THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BY OCTOBER 31st, 2011
DEADLINE PASSED.
NAME:
FULL SHIPPING ADDRESS:
NATION OF ORIGIN & CAN YOU SHIP INTERNATIONALLY
WHAT DO YOU LIKE
WHAT DO YOU DISLIKE
WHAT DO YOU ALREADY OWN?
Using a system involving taping slips of paper with names on them to sunflower seeds and getting my pet bird, I will choose matches! You'll be sending to someone, but they don't know it's you!
Once names are distributed, you have until DECEMBER 10th to inject those packages into the postal system to the lucky recipient! Doodle a dinosaur on it to mark the solidarity of the BRONTOS! (And perhaps PM me if your package includes things that family members of the giftee might faint or have a dizzy spell over. Enough people on here have family problems that we should try to avoid ma & pa gasping at Sailor Moon & The 7 Ballz)

THIS CHRISTMAS, YOU'RE THE STRONGEST
-
I have quite a bit of junk this year. :D
-
whoever gets Envy is obligated to get him a spellchecker.
-
Spellcheckers don't catch things that are also words.
-
FINE A GRAMMAR CHECKER
-
I WILL WIN THIS YEAR'S DIRTY SANTA FOR SURE THIS YEAR!
(http://www.tezukaenfrancais.com/TIE/rock/RockVampireSS.jpg)
I WILL BRING ARC BACK WITH THE BLOOD OF THE INNOCENT!
-
I also have quite a bit of junk! In my trunk. Well, trunks.
-
I'm not sure but I left this board for like a year because I got offended over liberal use of racial slurs by some of you and I want to join this secret santa (I love giving as much as receiving and now I actually have junk) but I don't want to get an offensive package or get a Santa that doesn't like me and sends me crap presents. So.. can you make sure my secret Santa doesn't hate me?
-
whoever gets spram is obligated to get him a fleshlight.
-
I'll do this!

No, I can't.
If you're not sure you can participate without being offended or whatever, don't. All there is to it.
-
A better question is why you are concerned about such a thing. I mean, how offensive could a package possibly be? This is the spirit of Christmas. Look at the older threads posting what people got. It's more likely that you get someone too lazy to mail a gift rather than being offended.
Also, "I'd like to participate but not recieve or get things things from this list of people" eliminates the entire purpose of a Secret Santa type thing.
Stop being so crazy.
-
Is it that time of year already? Can we still sign up for two partners?
-
Sure. And I'm doing it way early this year in the vague hope of it being done 'on time'
-
I wish I had old stuff I was willing to give away, but I don't think anyone here wants knitting needles or yarn.
-
Fuck it. I skipped out after nothing but bad experiences receiving (Okay Arct sent a good real gift one year but it wasn't random shit) but am willing to give it another go.
Don't make me cry, Brontos.
-
I would like to play again.
-
I'm in.
-
I'll be your secret santa this year.
-
Yeah, sure, I've got some junk that someone else might appreciate more than me. Or they might hate it just as much as I do. It's a win-win!
-
Maybe if you're the Emperor.
-
I'm in, I'm for it, I'm good to go. I'm going to go for the gusto and give to TWO people again this year! What could possibly go wro-

...oh.
-
I'm in, for one person. I don't have more than one person's worth of swag.
-
I'm gonna go for two people this year, like I always do.
-
I gotta see if I have anything to unload. Really haven't been picking up anything outside the core games I play.
-
You should just make a piece of scenery as your gift. Everyone will ooh and aah over it!
-
Almost certainly wouldn't survive shipping.
I got kind of burned out on PDS after getting stiffed three years out of five, but it's not even that. I'm just trying not to acquire more crud that will sit around. I own a lot of crap, but I've really tried to pare it down to crap I will actually use or enjoy.
-
Man I am all festive and shit already (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LnKTErIsyE&feature=player_detailpage#t=78s)
-
I forgot! I also like cake!
-
I LIVE
I'm going in for 3 boxes this year.
-
Sure, I'll give it a shot.
-
PM ME YOUR GODDAMN INFO IF YOU'RE IN. YOU HAVE UNTIL THE END OF THIS MONTH.
-
CyanPrime, too many people are distrusting of you. Work up your goodwill with the community and sign up again next year.
-
pee-emm sent
-
MAGNIFIQUE
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SENT ME A PM - IF YOUR NAME IS NOT ON THE LIST IN POST ONE, I DON'T HAVE YOUR INFO, AND YOU WILL NOT BE GIVEN A PARTNER
-
I think I am doing this right?

Mine is shipped.
<someone> had better prepare himself for the MOST EXTREMEly unremarkable gift he's ever received, in 2-3 business days.
-
I hope he prepared himself for spoilers prior to that.
-
Oh, is this supposed to be secret? I thought people were paired up and sent each other gifts.
-
I think the secret of who sent it is ended when you receive the package, and the secret of its contents is kept until Christmas day.
-
Oh. Well I didn't write my my screen name on it, so he's going to be wondering who "Will" is.
-
:facepalm:
-
... You are dekarma'd.
-
Welcome to the point, Caith.
It's better here.
-
CAITHNESS IS A GUY?!
-
Hmm, looks like I should have read the first post again before going to the post office.
Oh well, too late now.
-
So this is what the PM was referring to.
-
Also Caith: The person you're sending is not the person you will be receiving from. So everything's supposed to remain a secret.

YOU DID NOT :wakka:
-
Pic Dumps will be encouraged once Christmas rolls around. I'm hearing wind that some people are planning hilarious gifts.
That said, don't be too mean or cutting. Just as we don't want poo in a box, don't, like, give them a box full of pictures of penises with your picture on them or something
-
uh can you...
can you like recall ups packages?

who

has

mailed

off

their

packages

yet
-
Or just assembled them to mail in December that works too.

-
I'm waiting on getting something back before mine goes out. I've been working on a nice little package. Shipping will be outrageous though.
-
To my recipient: I'm away from home until the 16th, so my package will be late. However, I will do my best to make sure that something gets to you in the meantime.
-
(http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b167/unhelpful/christmas_toph.jpg)
I'll be in Wisconsin from the 14th until the 28th. I'm passing that address on to a neutral party since I don't know how trustworthy my Washington neighbors are yet.
I'll send out my package before I leave. It's merely acceptable (https://www.google.com/search?q=lemongrab&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=J97jTof0G8PXiALyzqTSBg&biw=1280&bih=649&sei=Lt7jTu2uO6nRiALs5Ki7Bg), but soon it with shine with the true Dirty Santa spirit: old tapes!
-
My box of
ebola iron sulfide powder Brazilian wandering spiders Christmas joy will be on its way Monday morning.
-
My box shall be on it's way Wednesday.
-
I vastly underestimated what a long chore it would be to extract all my old/worthwhile junk. Package will be late, updates forthcoming, I am actively working on it.
-
But brentai-kun
I thought you had a house now. Where can you keep your junk, if not there?
-
Having a house means he has more clever hiding-spots for junk, as opposed to those of us in apartments who have to keep it under the coffee table.
Sent today.
-
SENT
-
Oh was I supposed to say I sent my stuff? Because I did that a while ago.
-
Yeah, I sent mine the other day.
-
same.
-
Got a package though I found out because I was expecting 3-4 other packages from that same state. Sending mine out on tuesday due to work being bad for sending packages.
-
Sending mine out Tuesday due to work being awesome for sending out packages.
-
You know, I saw a UPS store PACKED with people the other day. I shipped mine through Office Depot since no one ever goes there for anything. It really is the perfect way to ship stuff.
-
I managed to gather a few meager items from what's left of my Stash of Crap, but my schedule does not permit me to get it out today. So, the package will probably arrive post-Christmas. Muy apologizo.
-
Oh for fuck's sakes, tomorrow isn't looking good either.
I'll see if I can maybe practice some ninjitsu.
-
Package Buge GET
My own outgoings might be late, but not months late like last time. I apologize to my partners in advance for being lazy and bad about this. :nyoro~n:
-
I got something, I think.
-
That's what she said.
-
Package Buge GET
Really! That was quicker than I expected.
-
nope.avi (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvdf5n-zI14#ws)
I'm actually home but I'm too drunk to go back out.
Yes, at 4 in the afternoon.
Don't judge me.
-
My stuff FINALLY went out this afternoon. Also, I have recieved a package from Seattle, Washington. I am eager to tear it open.
-
For most people, the day they open their Dirty Santa packages will be the most wonderful time of the year. But for my recipient... it will be Tuesday.
-
Unless they already got it, my partner will be receiving theirs on Monday. Apologies. Also of note is that the stick dinosaur in purple sharpie is a warning of content your mom probably wont be down with unless you're Kayin or Roger (you're not).
-
I'm going to be away from Monday to Thursday, anybody sending me stuff.
-
/me gives sad girl in snow eyes at whoever her late slacker santa is.
-
Dogstar package arrived and pictures will be uploaded soonish. Hoping my thing showed up because FedEx says it did.
-
Ted, you'll get a package soonish. I didn't send it early because you were training to be an army mans and then last week I was busy as hell, sorry about ruining christmas. D:
-
Yeah, I'm still waiting on a box of my own. I will be distraught if it turns out I got boned again this year.
-
I sent a package out to you, Dogstar. When I get home tomorrow, I can check on the tracking number and look into the holdup.
-
Matches will be posted on the 31st, and Dirty Santa 2012 will start in fucking March or something.
eventually we will all be on time.
-
I got yours, Zach - I'm just missing the last one, and Demosprite's gonna post the list on the 31st, so I'm not too worried just yet.
-
Hmmm, I don't seem to have any pick-up notices waiting for me. I hope it's merely a shipping delay.
-
no seriously
Brentai can I be made forum admin
And like ban people who are slow with their packages
-
Uh I dunno would you like to find out what happens when you try to ban me?
-

Ted, you'll get a package soonish. I didn't send it early because you were training to be an army mans and then last week I was busy as hell, sorry about ruining christmas. D:
I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOUUUUUUU
-
Also I'm pretty sure DN still owes me a PDS package from like, 2007
-
I debated sending your thing to your mother but I wasn't sure how to ask her for her address without sounding like a creeper so I didn't. I also wasn't sure if mailing it while you were away was a good idea. At any rate, its in the mail now!
-
Matches will be posted on the 31st
Can we see 'em? I want to know who I have to pester for the next three months.
-
MATCHES ARE POSTED IN THE FIRST POST
-
Kayma is slow, but full of win. So much win. o_o
-
ROGER
HEY ROGER
HOW ABOUT IT ROGER
-
Kayma is slow, but full of win. So much win. o_o
:8D: ::D: ::D: ::D: :8D: :goodnews: :8D: ::D: :goodnews: ::D: :8D: ::D: :goodnews:
Also: Dogstar is similarly full of win, but Kayma is slow.
-
So did Roger just skip town, or...?
-
Roger is just a lazy good for nothing, both in sending out and posting his own packages.
I WILL RECTIFY THIS. I WILL NEVER DEADBEAT.
-
GUESS WHO JUST MAILED OUT BOXES TODAY

AS IT WAS WRITTEN, SO IT SHALL BE.
-
So. Today, I recieved a box.
It had cookies.
It was from the mail.
It was from Portugal, and had a smiling brontosaurus drawn on it.
I am honestly confused, has fullmoon even posted in a year?
-
Last post November 7th 2012!
but what does it matter? portuguese cookies! may christmas!
-
It's a Christmas miracle!
-
They're all hard as rocks because they were mailed ground service from portugal
-
Dunk them in milk.
And lots of it.
-
They're all hard as rocks because they were mailed ground service from portugal
Well, give em time. They'll be coal in a week or so.
-
Maybe that's just an inherent property of Portuguese cookies?
