OK! That's great, two more down.

Today was, of course, the delivery deadline... and there's still a handful of gifts that aren't delivered yet. That was anticipated, actually... the main reason I moved the deadline up to the 19th, was to allow for time before christmas to work out the issues.

So, here are the Santees that I don't have down as having received 100% of the anticipated gifts. Please look for your name: if you're on here but shouldn't be, or if you're not on here but should be, let me know.

Main round
moths - delivered
The worst submarine - sent
Antivehicular - delivered
Cinnamon Bear - shipped
COOL CORN - sent
Cotton Candidasis - received 1/2
Safety Biscuits - shipped
LordAba - shipped late

Bonus round 1

Bruxism - shipped {exception - gifts sent to Bruxism expected to arrive late}
AnAnonymousIdiot #1 - delivered
AnAnonymousIdiot #2 - shipped

Bonus round 2
JackMann - sent
Bruxism - shipped {exception - gifts sent to Bruxism expected to arrive late}
AnAnonymousIdiot - ordered

Bonus round 3
NTRabbit - shipped
Kai Tave - shipped - address updated with UPS today, expected delivery tomorrow


If you're marked as "delivered" that means probably your Santa had tracking info that showed as delivered, or, possibly you posted saying it was delivered but you hadn't been able to get it yet.
"Shipped" and "sent" are almost exactly the same, they mean the Santa posted that your gift was put in the mail. If you're the Santa of a Santee still showing as Shipped or Sent, and we haven't been talking about that gift within the last couple of days, please check any tracking info you might have, and then follow up with me via email.
Gifts sent to Bruxism are going via a circuitous drop-ship method that Bruxism indicated in advance likely wouldn't get to him before christmas, and are an exception to the normal rules.

I believe all of the above gifts were sent in good faith, and most of them were sent well in advance of the deadline... some of these probably have been delivered but the recipient hasn't posted yet. Hopefully we'll get them resolved this week!

Meanwhile I'm coming down with a cold and I'm pretty sure one of my cats is dying and my internet provider has been having outages. If I'm not super responsive the next couple of days, it'll be one of those things, and my apologies in advance.

The pawsting business is tough work.
Sent an email, but for maximum visibility:

I was Cool Corn's Santa. They received their gift way back when, but I apparently drafted a confirmation email and never actually mashed the send button. So, I am an idiot, but not delinquent in spreading Christmas cheer.

Sorry to hear about your cat, Leperflesh. I hope she, you, and your internet all pull through in a Christmas week miracle trifecta.

I'll echo the others in thanking you for running this and running it well; it's become something I look forward to as part of the holiday season.

I got my last, but certainly not least, Secret Santa gift just a few minutes ago! Apparently UPS delivers late as gently caress, who knew?



It's Arkham Horror! I'm not gonna lie, I really really wanted someone to get me this (even though I'll probably buy another core set later on myself) so thank you very much mysterious Santa number four. There was no note or anything with the gift so whoever you were, step on up both to accept your accolades and to inform me of which charity you would like your, checking the invoice here, $40 donation to be sent to in your honor.

Glad you liked it! Didn't see a way to leave a note with Fantasy Flight, or I would've added a proper goony message. Also sorry about the UPS screw-up. I'm happy it finally got where it needed to.

For charity of choice, let's go with The Southern Poverty Law Center. They do a lot of really good work, and I think they're going to be even more important in coming years.

That's how it was with my Rocky. The vet could only give him another year when he started having bowel obstructions. But I made sure it was a good one, with lots of snuggles, treats, and petting.

I'm sorry to hear that, Leperflesh. I obviously don't know the specifics, but it sounds lIke she was loved and special, so I'm very certain you made her last two years the best they could have been. And, while it's hard, I hope that eventually brings you some comfort. :(

My santa is quite thorough, and realised how slow Wayland games is at shipping, so not only did he get me the ruins shown earlier, today a package containing american sherman tanks and british lend-lease sherman tanks showed up! I've now got more than 30 sherman tanks. so many shermans.

Is there someone there to collect gifts off your porch or whatever? Your Santa did post that a gift was sent to you, two weeks ago.

e. Actually, I'm not sure now, you had two bonus round santas and I think you got two gifts - one digital, one physical. But I'm not sure if they were both from one santa, or one each from two santas. I'll try and find out.

They were both from my round three Santa. Still haven't seen the one from my round two Santa.

I've instructed the post office not to leave anything on my front porch, as my neighbors have had some issues with package theft recently (and I had a Reaper order go missing the other day). I'm also stopping into the post office to ask them to hold my mail.

Leperflesh

OK... what about UPS, FedEx, Amazon delivery, etc? :ohdear:

Two weeks should usually be enough for a domestic shipment, but I don't have a tracking number and your santa didn't get back to me yet (I just emailed yesterday morning).

People who haven't signed up with at least UPS and Fedex probably should if they expect they might be getting packages at any point in time because allows you to hold packages, sign for packages, move packages to a store for holding until you can pick it up, you get automated emails when/if a package is coming, etc...

I usually get notified by UPS Quantum view if something is coming. I haven't had FedEx leave stuff at the door. Usually, they leave a notice.

OK, sounds like things are covered then, that's good.

And I'm sorry your gift is showing up late - I basically have no more information than the date on which the Santa posted having sent a thing, and that was definitely a reasonable date for a bonus round. :shrug:

Hopefully it didn't get snatched with the Reaper order. If it did... Well, poo poo happens and it's no fault of the Santa.

Never heard of the pugilism game, but it sounds great! The wrapped gift tag indicates it's some wangs so I'm going to leave it wrapped until xmas morning. Thanks Secret Santa's and my apologies for the mail taking so long.
