 YOSPOS Secret Santa 2015!!!It's that special time of year again! Time for YOSPOSters to show off their generosity and really put their deece figgies to work. There has been a lot of interest in making this a more exclusive event this year, so I'm going to work things out accordingly. If you're someone I recognize from the cjs, games, and general one-off threads, i.e. you actively participate in YOSPOS as a whole, you get a free pass into the main event. If you're someone who only posts in the cat thread, Bitcoin thread, etc., well, you're going to be matched with other posters from those enclaves, unless your can make a really good argument as to why you belong in YOSPOS. If you are an obvious troll you will be matched with other trolls. If you don't like that, tough! Go start your own Secret Santa in YCS or wherever. This is my first time running a Secret Santa so I'm just winging it, consider these rules flexible if there are any obvious mistakes.   THE RULES:
HOW TO APPLY:
Ok that's all I got. Use this thread to discuss ideas, or previous years' gifts, or what an awful poster I am. edit: My elf is forums poster bobbilljim, come to him with any questions I guess  IF YOU FEEL LIKE SENDING ME SOMETHING (since I'm not part of the round robin thing) ask bobbilljim or have a look at my amazon wishlistu: http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/33V0PJAVFYO52 or my steam wishlist: http://steamcommunity.com/id/silveralicorn/wishlist I'm interested in local/regional treats, computer accessories, sci fi movies (literally get me anything on blu ray because I just got a PS4 and have nothing for it yet) and yospos stuff I guess. I will also be sending out some "bonus" gifts at random after the 2nd wave of santee assignments come out. Some of it is weird vintage computer stuff and some of it will be amazon garbage so I hope you're into that. BONUS ROUND bonus gifts this year include but are not limited to: a YOSPOS-injoke drinking vessel suitable for beer (pint glass) a new in box, sealed copy of Daikatana (PC) a used copy of the Bard's Tale for Apple ][ on real floppy disks a very relevant and modern programming book a red panda plush toy (Aurora Plush) if you would like to enter to win one of these fabulous prizes, reply to this thread with YOSPOS BITHC!!! I am interested in (prizes you want) and I will put you on a spreadsheet and figure it all out by December 5 or something Silver Alicorn fucked around with this message at 04:13 on Nov 25, 2015 |

Don't post your address. Do post about the kinds of gifts you would be interested in, i.e. digital video game crap, foodstuffs, alcohol, strange one-off electronic toys, etc. Post if you have pets and you want gifts for your pets. Post anything you specifically don't want to receive so we can swiftly ban your santa for not paying attention. If you're interested in clothes, post what size your goony body is and if you prefer men's or women's sizing.

 cjs moves way too fast to follow and i am a competent santasome helpful tips from last year about shipping to  - parcel services do abusive things to us at the border and they suck at delivering to some places so just use god's own united states postal service like nature intended - our customs guys are pretty chill but they will reliably seize meat and fruit, and if they notice booze, porn or cigs they'll probably keep those too - we have real winter here so best not to send anything that can't handle a day or two at -20 - we need special permits to have gun mugs

I'm so in. I like wall things and other cool stuff for my apartment, or handmade things, or gadgets, or bideo games if you're lazy. I'm OK with food and alcohol stuff too! Sadly, I have no pets. Don't send me one!
