Title: BB Secret Santa
Description: get a little, gieb a little
tarzanell - December 6, 2005 03:34 PM (GMT)
Yes BB members, it's that time of year when the beefy man in red known as Santa giebs free to all the good boys and girls out there. Unfortunately, there is no known e-santy, so we propose a Secret Santa giving amongst the members and mods of the Bazaar. Here's how it's going to work:
1) If you're interested, post your name (and chosen realm/ladder or non for those of you who play on more than one) here;
2) We mods will shake it up, and randomly assign you another BB member;
3) You should put the item on a mule account, and PM a mod the acc name and PW to be passed on to the member you've been assigned; mods will be given a realm to take care of, so you'll know who is responsible for passing on the information;
4) Feel them Christmas vibes.
So that's it! You are only expected to give as much as you like (but, well, keep the "el" givings to a minimum if possible), and you can only receive if you sign up to be someone's Santa. Deadlines to sign up are 11 PM US Eastern time on the 13th of December, hope you'll all be up for it!

:blink: I'm a bit confused. Are we going to know who we are giving a gift to, and who we are recieving a gift from? I think we should know so we would know who is the cheapo of the BB forum.
AcidRane - December 6, 2005 05:26 PM (GMT)
We're depending on the good of the people on this one. If someone signs up, they had better be able to deliver something at least moderately useful. If everyone donates something they'd be happy to get, we shouldn't have a problem.

Spence - December 6, 2005 08:47 PM (GMT)
Yay, this is my idea from the other thread. So sign me up, East Softcore Ladder!!!

TiGeR - December 6, 2005 10:58 PM (GMT)
there should be a minimum price on what the item /items is.. just so nobody feels like they go "ripped" off
edit..
that being said is there a way where i can just donate and not recieve anything?

Well, once we know how many people from your realm have signed on, we could get you to donate that many gifts, one per person :) Otherwise, we'll have more gifts than recipients.
Oh, and I'm in. ESCL. And if Jostef feels lonely, I'll do NL too.

count me in!

Sol1 - December 7, 2005 12:42 AM (GMT)
AcidRane, do NL too, because otherwise it's just me and Jostef, and then we'll know who gave the gift...
Jostef - December 7, 2005 12:49 AM (GMT)
Truth is, I wouldn't mind at all if I weren't to receive anything, or if my secret santa gave me a lump of coal (perfect gems?). It's not like there's much I'm lacking to fulfill my d2 playing.

so far it's you, me and Dustin on West NL. The masses are hardly thronging.
Dustin - December 8, 2005 04:06 AM (GMT)
LOL wow 3 people on West NL gunna be 1 huge secret :)
peterpaulrubens - December 8, 2005 05:29 AM (GMT)
pretty much. Please pretend you're surprised when SantaPaulRubens gives ya something. :biggrin:
Yettodie - December 8, 2005 07:26 AM (GMT)
As much as i like the idea, i don't think i will be participating.
US East Ladder: I only play occasional over there, which means no items, which means a sort of ripping off people.
Europe non-ladder: allready given away most items
Europe ladder: well, the people i know who are playing ladder are far more better equipped then me, so it would feel also like ripping off.
Count me in for the mod-part.

*lolsmack* Thanks for sharing authentic.
Anyway Im in for Europe SC ladder at least.
tarzanell - December 12, 2005 09:20 AM (GMT)
Well, even though the cutoff date is tonight, I doubt we'll be seeing too much more in the way of signing up. I've listed the participants in post number 2, so you can see who's signed up in your realm. Erm, Slayerman and sambo, I don't know how to break this to you, but things might be a little lonesome on your realms...
I'll make an announcement to see if there are any last-minute signups, but we should expect this to be pretty much final. We'll be in touch :santa:
edit: Tiger, it seems you want to participate, what realm are you on?
tarzanell - December 12, 2005 09:49 AM (GMT)
Don't worry authentic, thanks for checking the thread out anyway. Actually, I moved your drunken post to the padded room, but somewhere along the way it disappeared...it's a shame, there were quite a few insightful comments in there :D.
Sparkatus - December 12, 2005 10:19 AM (GMT)
Add me in for Euro SC Ladder... I guess I'd better get item finding :blink:
Ernir - December 12, 2005 10:54 AM (GMT)
Hmm... West nl needs *some* surprise. If we did it with three people, we wouldn't be exchanging gifts, however. We'd end up with a triangle. If you want that to happen, sign me up.
Yettodie - December 12, 2005 12:51 PM (GMT)
Well, sign me up for Europe ladder.
Sol1 - December 12, 2005 01:54 PM (GMT)
And I have a few low uniques on Euro Ladder I could give away, although I doubt anybody would have a use for them...
And even though I don't celebrate Christmas, happy Holidays, folks.
Melos - December 12, 2005 02:32 PM (GMT)
You can sign me up. *Melos USWest NL
Dark_Winteress - December 12, 2005 03:07 PM (GMT)
Just saw this posted this morning... please count me in !!!!!
East // SC // Ladder
(well everyone around here knows that by now Im sure).
Also, I had posted this idea (or well .. something in the area of this idea more or less) like a week ago in the 'discussion' forum .. but it died out so i thought it was a no go.
This will be pretty cool .. whoever I get will have lots of nice stuff .. been saving for this in the case it went through.

Your idea sparkled it. I think. I didn't participate in the composition of this thing.
