Worst Dirty Santa Ever
« on: November 06, 2008, 05:44:45 PM »



Post your loot!

2008 Results List



Introduction:

Dirty Santa 2008... Go!

Six years and running, we're back for another avalanche of broken action figures and scratched discs. For those new to the community, this program is a secret - santa - by - mail operation using strictly used goods. The match list has been reset for this year, so prior Santas may have a repeat Santa from a previous year.




Deadline:

The sign-up deadline this year is Thursday, November 27th. Later that night, I'll privately message you a name and shipping address that was randomly matched up with your own name. This will be your match, the person whom you're to send a present to, but not the one you'll receive a present from. That remains a secret!




Directions:

1. Private message me with the following information:

NAME:
FULL SHIPPING ADDRESS:
ENTERING YOUR NAME IN ONCE OR TWICE: ONCE / TWICE
ENJOY:
DISLIKE:
ALREADY OWN (DVD/BOOK/GAME/SYSTEM LIST):


(2007 Wishlist)

2. Wait for your name to appear on the Dirty List.
3. Check your private message box on November 27th for your match, and their mailing address.
4. Check the Wishlist (Coming Soon) for ideas on what to send your match.
5. Ship out package(s) by December 12th. Mark "WORST" in bold upon the box.
7. Clearly post that you've shipped the package in this thread.
8. Once you receive your present, confirm here and wait until December 25th to open it.
9. Post results (with pictures)!



This post will update from time to time. Please check back often.

::(:

Arc, I want to sign up, but have a slight problem. Living accomodations have forced most of my stuff into storage - the stuff I'm with now is the essentials. If I sign up, I'd most likely have to hit up a Secondhand shop or whatnot. Is this acceptable? I greatly enjoyed last year (fuck yes I love you vgamet)

EDIT: Told my mother about it. She said her and my father wouldn't mind digging stuff up around here to send.
:perfect:
...but just in case it's not, er, 'rad enough', are second hand shops okay if I keep it like under a Jackson?

I.  Can't imagine why you'd ask that.  Unless you were trying to be an enormous douchebag.

Also, I'm in.

Yeah, I'll go in.

Somebody'll have to remind me who I got last year, though; I dickishly never got around to sending him a gift.

I was going to put this in a note to Rock, but instead I think I'll ask if it can be a general flag:

I don't want whoever gets me to be afraid to contact me if they have questions about what I want or don't want.  I really don't mind that particular surprise being spoiled.  I imagine there are at least a few people like me, so it may be a good inclusion for the info PM.

I'm in. My first experience (way back in '03) was weird - I never got the gift and I never found out if the package I sent out arrived or not, and the guy I got disappeared from the boards soon after. I'm not surprised that there was a mishap with the package(s), because I was on an overseas military installation at the time and they fucked up the mail all the damn time. I didn't even get my Christmas gift from my family until late March. (Funny story: every year my mom likes to be "funny" and put some kind of citrus fruit at the bottom of our stockings. She did it again that year... and by late March, it had rotten through the box and ruined almost everything else inside of it.)

Anyway, most of my stuff is in boxes, so it's easy to tell what's a possible gift... basically anything inside a box and not in my room.

I don't want whoever gets me to be afraid to contact me if they have questions about what I want or don't want.  I really don't mind that particular surprise being spoiled.  I imagine there are at least a few people like me, so it may be a good inclusion for the info PM.

I'm fine with this, too. I was not shy about buying things that I liked back when I had a job, so I wouldn't want to get something I already have that could have gone to someone who needs (and probably deserves) it more.

I also work as an in-between for questions between the Santas if secrecy is to be maintained.

..>Arc, do you have the ALREADY HAVEs list I gave you last year? That'd be a huge timesaver on my end.

Man, rereading this, I feel like kind of a douche for actually stating some dislikes this year.  Also for not having a desk at work.

Remember: if I deadbeat on you, it just means you're getting a DVD player or a bomb in February.
