Atlas Hugged posted:I'm on holiday for the next week so won't be able to check for deliveries. I get home on Christmas Eve so let's hope for a miracle from Santa! I believe you said there's an office or something at your address that can accept deliveries, right? Hopefully the gods of international customs will bless and favor your inbound gift.

OK kids, we're obviously well past the deadline, so let's see where we're at: 49 or 50 total fullfilled gifts completed and accounted for! This is good. 3 cases of recipient having 1 of 2 items/packages: DigitalRaven, whose santa said a second thing, but I haven't seen a clear indication of whether it's shipped or when it should be expected; NTRabbit's second item was lost by amazon.au; it has been dealt with, but a replacement item is known to be coming but late; FewtureMD's bonus round 1; my notes just say received 1 of 2, so I don't know the status of a second item. Some items I don't have clear statuses for: AnAnonymousIdiot has emailed to say more packages have been located. I am not certain whether he has his main round gift(s); one for sure was delivered to his alternate address supplied, two others are listed as shipped but not yet verified received. Hopefully he'll be posting shortly to help fill in that info. Atlas Hugged's gift is still showing as in-transit. Atlas is in Thailand and is receiving an internationally-shipped gift, with tracking, that was sent well in time, so we are simply at the mercy of the process there. I've seen the tracking so I know there's no grinching happening, although it sucks that AH didn't get a gift before leaving for his holiday break. ibntumart possibly has received his bonus round 3 gift. I need clarity on that one. JackMann has not yet received a bonus round 3 gift. Special dispensation was given for gifts to be a little late for bonus round 3, so this is not a Grinching either. And that's it! So I think we're in pretty good shape. If I have any of this wrong, please let me know, because I always mess up one or two statuses here or there. As always, please stick around with the thread until I close it if you can, it's nice for the final gift arrival Santees to have an audience. I know some folks are likely to check out of the thread over the winter break, so I'll just mention this now: if you would like to receive an email reminder when I put up next year's secret santa thread, just ask and I'll add you to the Official TG Secret Santa Mailing List, which I only use once per year for this specific purpose and no other.

As I was heading out for various things today, I noticed some boxes by the door! I immediately turned around to see what treasures awaited me. Tron gives his blurry approval to the box after the customary sniff, so it was time to open it!  Why, dat's right orky, dat is! A megatrakk skrapjet, easily the coolest of the new ork buggies. Thanks, Ibn, your incorrect opinions on eldar notwithstanding!

The /a/ means you're linking to an album instead of the picture, so BBcode probably doesn't know what to do with it. You can just remove the /a/ part and you'll have a good URL to feed in.

Alright I believe all three of AnAnonymousIdiot's main round santas are accounted for as received! Unless one of you sent two gifts. But I'm marking all three as received, someone speak up if I got it wrong.

Came home from my Christmas party last night to see a note on my mailbox informing me a package had arrived, but the office was already closed so I just had to wait until this morning to collect. What could this little box contain?  Oh my! A very big spaceship for my growing Shaltari fleet. Most excellent! Thank you anonymous goon! I look forward to conquering the skies above Bangkok with this badboy very soon.

I was in the middle of packing for my new year's holiday when I spotted customs dog Casper holding a package It's from the Amazon returns department, so this must be the missing package  Cool, an interesting book! My brother sent me a different interesting book just yesterday too, so I am now properly sorted with stimulating reading material  Thanks again Maigius!Maigius posted:Tell Casper he's pretty.

I wasn't expecting anything more (until Leperflesh pointed it out), but I got a While You Were Out card and made the trek to the Royal Mail delivery office. And so, a package arrived! Package Inspector Sinister (image blurred for his security) took an interest...  But what's inside? A hand-drawn mech on the cover? This looks like it might be fun...  It is a hand-written, bespoke gamebook. This is loving amazing!! I absolutely adore it! Thank you so much, Santa. You're a scholar and a gentle person and you have made my Christmas after a week around my family.

But you'll need to send an email to tgsecretsanta@gmail.com so I will have your email address to add to the list. As of right now, these are the only remaining open items in my Spreadsheet of Cheer for 2018: fr0id got a gift, but hadn't opened it, I think waiting for xmas day. fr0id, we'd love to see what you got! FewtureMD had one of two parts of their gift marked as delivered by Amazon, but we have not verified that FewtureMD actually got it! I sent emails on December 11th and December 23rd, but have not yet gotten a response. FewtureMD, we'll assume you got your secon present but we'd really prefer to know for sure! ...and that's it! No grinches that I know of, everyone should be fully Santeed. I love being able to say that before the end of the year! If I'm wrong, please send me an email and let me know what's up. Thanks again to everyone who participated. I love doing this every year. If you have any feedback or issues you'd like to complain about, now is a good time to post or to send an email.
