Christmas Event: Secret (Poring!) Santa
So in honor of Christmas and the general spirit of giving and community, I'm holding an event this Christmas season! And you can (I hope) guess what that is: Secret Santa!
Step 1: Sign Up
Please send me your sign ups by PM, IRC chat, or in-game by Monday, 12/21/15 at 11:59 PM server time to participate in this event. All I need is the following info:
- Your In-Game/Character Name:
- Three Wish List Gifts:
The in-game name is the character name you want to use to participate in this event. It'll be given to the person who gets your name, so please make sure you're on that character at the time of the gift exchange!
Step 2: Get Your Name
I will send everyone a PM by Tuesday, 12/22/15 at 11:59 PM server time with their Secret Santa's name and wish list gifts.
If you get someone's name and you're not sure what to get for them and/or you're not sure if you can get anything on their wish list, please let me know as soon as you can and I'll work something out with those involved. (The same goes if you can't think of anything that you would like!)
EDIT: Even though the person will have 3 wish list gifts, I'm expecting for everyone to give 1 to their Secret Santa. You can give more if you like but you definitely don't have to!
Step 3: Gifts
I just want to put down just a few rules, to make sure everyone has fun for this event!
- Be reasonable for your gift requests. It's not fair to say "I want [some absurdly expensive or rare item]!" and expect to get that item from someone else.
- You don't have to request an item for a gift. Have an instance that you've wanted to run but no one to go with? Or a leveling buddy but have had problems finding someone? Why not ask for that?
- Please make sure that what you put in your wish list is something that can be done or given in-game, just so that it's fair for everyone involved.
Step 4: Exchange!
Given that it's the holiday season and plans will be made and things, I don't want to hold everyone to a gift exchange on Christmas weekend. I also want to give people a chance to plan gifts for their Secret Santa.
Therefore, the gift exchange will be Sunday, 1/3/16 at 10:00 AM server time. If this doesn't work for you, please let me know, and I will work out a time where as many people can participate as possible.
Step 5: Bonus!
Anyone who participates in the event will get a secret Secret Santa gift from me as well! I'm not going to tell you what it is, so you'll just have to join and see for yourself! :p
TL:DR;
- Sign up by Monday, 12/21/15 at 11:59 PM server time. Send me your in-game character's name and 3 wish list gifts that you'd like. Remember: be reasonable, please.
- I will send everyone a PM by Tuesday, 12/22/15 at 11:59 PM server time with their Secret Santa's name and wish list. Please let me know if you have any problems it.
- Choose 1 wish list gift to give to your Secret Santa. You can give more if you like; I ask that you get 1.
- Gift exchange will be Sunday, 1/3/16 at 10:00 AM server time. I am completely open to moving the gift exchange time if people want to, and if anyone has suggested times.
- Bonus: Join in and get a secret Secret Santa gift from me!
As always, questions, comments, suggestions, etc. are always welcome!
Have fun and happy holidays!
