Paradox! Pressie Swap 2008
Posted: Sat Nov 01, 2008 4:18 pm
As part of the 2008 Paradox! Christmas Party, I am running the Paradox! Pressie Swap. This is an anonymous Secret Santa or Kris Kringle style present exchange.
For those of you who have never participated in a Secret Santa or Kris Kringle before, it works like this:
1. You need to register your intent to participate by PMailling ElljaeT (#2). This is to be done no later than intermission on Saturday 29th November 2008.
2. The list of participants will be shuffled and you will be sent a PMail informing you of who you should buy a gift for. This person will hereby be referred to as your 'giftee'. At the same time your name will be forwarded on to someone else for them to buy a gift for you. Your giftee is to remain a secret at all times. This is an anonymous pressie swap. You should receive the name of your giftee by Monday 1st December 2008.
3. Once you have received your PMail identifying who you are buying for, you have to send your gift back to ElljaeT (#2) no later than Tuesday 16th December 2008.
4. Gifts will be distributed to giftees during the Paradox Christmas Party on Saturday December 20th 2008.
Some conditions:
a. I mentioned above that this is an anonymous pressie swap so don't tell your giftee that you are buying for them, particularly before the event. It spoils the surprise and takes the fun out of it.
b. If you don't submit a gift, the gift that was intended for you will be given to the person you were supposed to give one to and you will get nothing.
c. The point of the Paradox! Pressie Swap is to have fun and to give thoughtful and witty gifts to other players. It is not to see who can blow the biggest budget.
d. I reserve the right to add any other conditions I may have omitted at any given time.
Participants
I will be listing registered participants here. If you don't see your name on the list withing 48 hours of submitting it, it is probable that I haven't received your registration.
