:frogsiren: YOSPOS Secret Santa 2016, because nobody else is doing it :frogsiren:

Ghosts of yosmas past:
2015: OFFICIAL YosPos Santa 2015: Yuletide Slay
2014: YosMas Secret Santa: Jesus Christ can we be done with this yet, it's mid january
2013: Your Secret Santa is a Piece Of poo poo 2013 - ur banned by now so w/e
2012: YOur Secret Santa is a Piece Of poo poo 2012 - technically they aren't ants
2011: YOSPOS Secret Santa 2011: it's the most wonderful time of the year

:regd08:



THE RULES, shamelessly copied from previous years:
  • Applicants will be matched arbitrarily.
  • Minimum is $20, not including shipping, but you can go way over that if you so desire. Just don't get mad if you send someone a $300 gift and the one you get back isn't up to the same standard.
  • Don't be lame. Drop-shipping from Amazon is kinda lame, depending. Use your best judgement.
  • Please don't send anything gross, or alive, or something that starts out alive and dies during shipping. Dormant yeast cultures are the exception assuming they are in foodsafe packaging.
  • You will be expected to post pictures of the stuff you receive.
  • Application deadline is Nov. 15, 2016 - let's try not to stretch this poo poo out through February this time.
  • Latecomers may form a second chain if there's enough of them by Nov. 30, 2016.
  • Shipments should go out by Dec. 15, 2016
  • If you fail to provide proof of shipment by Dec. 31, 2016 you will be BANNED

How to enter:
  • Send me a PM or email me at crazylittle at somethingawful-dot-com with the following:
    • Username + old usernames
    • Real name
    • Real address. Please specify if this is a work address, and please use an address you're sure will be permanent through the new year.
    • Your Secret Santas and Santees from years prior
    • Whether you are or are not interested in shipping internationally.

:justpost: Put a post in this thread :justpost:
  • Link your previous years if you can find it. See links above for threads of yosmas past.
  • Post your preferences, things that you'd like to... and like to NOT receive in a strange box from a stranger from the internet.
  • Post pictures of your pets. Especially if your pet is Trophy or any other pro tier cat.
  • Post your goony goon clothing size(s) if you're okay with getting bespoke gunmug t-shirts

any volunteer elves? PM me thx

pretty simple - just let santas pm you with questions for their santee, and then you post it in the thread without giving away who the santa is.

the other threads are already linked in the OP.

just open your profile and find your user id number in the URL, copy it, then open one of the previous threads and click "just posts by this user" on any random post, and replace the user id in that URL with your own, hit enter and bam, all the info will just pop out of the big huge thread because you probably replied to both your santa and santee.

a good post

FYI it's not 100% mandatory to do this, but it will probably improve your chances of getting a better gift from your yossanta if you link/show what you got in the past
