So hey I'll take anything on my Steam wishlist, or perhaps surprise me, but really I want to know who I've gots to gets the gifts for before the first set of deals expire so someone doesn't miss out on their Monacos or Bioshocks or, even worse, BUYS THE GAME BEFORE I BUY IT FOR THEM. Which is terrible.

Default just an observation
The offline method for Secret Santa is typically that of filling out information and dropping it into a box/hat, and individuals then later fish out one each.

Last year, in order to make sure that everyone got paired up without knowing who was Santa to whom publicly, I collected the participants' info individually via PMs. I did the matching randomly (I think I just randomized a column of names against a static column of names in Excel, but I might have written a brief function for it), and I was ready to be a Santa to anyone left out if we had odd numbers. Then I sent out each person's relevant game/steam/etc. info in private to their Secret Santa.


I mention this only to offer caution -- if everyone just posts in this thread it is entirely possible that friends and others may take their own initiative and make gift purchases, potentially resulting in duplicates or in some people having multiple Santas where others might not have any.



Ultimately, all that matters is everyone involved has some fun and spreads some holiday cheer!

- I'll jump on the multiplayer train, though my hours are odd so I might not be able to play as much as I'd want to.

Yeah, I saw that suggestion.

Like I said, it was an observation / just a thought of caution after five, now six, people have just posted their wishlists and info in the thread, not a claim that you were doing it wrong or unable to pair people up or anything.

Glad to help!

Although that Secret Santa generator needs emails, so it can email everyone the person they are getting a gift for. So either include an email address in your post, or if you don't want to have your email address out on the forum, PM it to Bells (if he's okay with that) or make a temp email.

I'll edit my email into my post with my steam account link.

Thanks for the tips Synk, i actually had overlooked that detail!

Sure thing though, i'll make sure this rolls out fine.

Here is what we'll do... we will lock out entries this SATURDAY. It's quick enough for people to enjoy the current sales but enough time for everybody to join in. Plus, we've been talking about thsi for quite sometime, so people now know this exists. So please, poke eveybody you guys want to invite for this thing.

ANYONE who wants can PM me right now with a contact e-mail alongside their entry. i'll collect these. Anybody who didn't, i'll send a PM SUNDAY 21st asking for it.

Assuming everybody is ok with that, i'll make the pairings and you will all get it via PM between Dec 22nd and Dc 23rd.

That being set, feel free to purchase away!

Considering that people may want to shop around, or may not be online during the actual holidays... you'll all have until December 26 to send your gifts.

Now... pay attention to this part. Cause you have options...

Don't keep this in PM's or Steam chat... bring it HERE ok? If you want to tease your secret santa, give clues to who you picked up before gifting them! If you want to be playfull, give us clues of who is your secret santa after you gift them.

Either way is fine really, as long as you guys have fun and share it here.

Also, taking up the tradition of Santa Synk, if anything fails through or if there is an Odd number of people, i'll take up the gaps.

Cool? Alrighty then... get those PM's going.




PS: The joke Gift this year is Aliens Colonial Marines for 1.99 on amazon for Steam. Consider it a terrible sock stuffing! =3
