Secret Santa 2011 -- Now with gift reveals

Okay, looks like it's up to me this year.

So everyone, if you want to participate this year, just email me at: neogeosecretsanta2011@gmail.com.

Please include your full name, your NG.com handle, your address, a general idea of what you'd like as a gift (i.e. what game systems you own, etc), and whether you'd be willing to ship internationally.

Let's say that sign up ends on Nov 23rd, and I'll tell everyone their giftee in the following week.

If anyone has any questions, concerns, thoughts or criticisms, just let me know.

Let's make it a good one this year.

Here's the list of participants so far:

Beefy Hits
cdamm
BobbyPeru
bokmeow
Phyeir
ratson
wasabi (aka Agent Sands)
arbormatt
Ruell
Bobak (aka aria)
rarehero
Hibikster
kidpanda
Murray
hoop-jones
Dio Brando
wataru330
DanAdamKOF
Popcorn Sutton
alphagamer
Jedah Doma
playboycougar
and me

Keep 'em coming, folks.

One final note: the international thing is a preference only. I'm afraid I can't guarantee you won't have to, but I'll do my best to sort it according to preference (that's what Rade did and it's good enough for me).

Thanks for doing this Ninny. Sent you an email.

Thanks, I got it. I forgot to mention: let's keep the gifts at $20.

Just gonna go ahead and keep this bumped...

Hey, no spoilers. :D

Been 3 years, but this'll be my first year going in on this.

Groovy. Keep 'em comin' kids.

In and info sent.

sign in, will send info later.

Got it guys. Thanks. :buttrock:

I know this isn't exactly the right thread for this, but it reminded me. A few years ago I got a killer box from my secret santa, talks2wall. What happened to that dude?

Anyway, anyone thinking about it should sign up, it is a good time. Ninny, I'll know whether or not I can commit to it in a week.

Sounds good man. If you wind up being my giftee, I'll send you beer. :)

I ran into him a few weeks ago.
it was nice to see him but from talking with him,
it sounded like he had a lot on his plate.
I'll drop my email when i'm back at home.

Should I post a copy of this thread in General Discussion? I thought about it, but I couldn't help but think we'd avoid more noobs by keeping it here (not that I want to exclude anyone). Still, there are a lot of members who don't post in this section of the forum.

What do you guys think?

Hey, how about a sticky for this? That's what we did in years past.

I've got a job interview today. If I get it, I'm in!

Good luck!

Guess I should probably keep this bumped...

We could use some more people, guys. I guess we have enough to go forward, but it'd be nice if more of you signed up.

Bump. C'mon guys! You only have to spend $20, and you'll get the satisfaction of getting a gift for some gamers! I've done it here and on NeoGAF, and it's a ton of fun! Don't be a bunch of grinches! :D

I have joined as I have the previous two.

Got it. Good stuff.

same boat- $20 to ship a $20 item to europe seems a bit steep.

If you back out, I will hunt you down. Even if I have to comb out the entire Schwarzwald.

Thats about 600km away.

I drove 400 just to meet SpinmasterX, and flew further to meet Rot. So what makes you think 600 is going to be an issue:smirk:

Its actually about 420 (how fitting) km from Amsterdam to me (can't remember where you actually live :P ) However that stupid forest is about 600km from my place.
