Title: TBA giftsexchange!

~SECRET SANTA~

So it's that time of year again and I decided to make another secret santa thingy! A bit different from last year though because i figure maybe we could try sending physical gifts. Thats only an idea so let me know how you feel about it. ANYWAY you guys know how secret santa works right? You get assigned someone to send a gift to without them knowing who you are! Its a fun surprise! So anyhow lets get this started, just leave a post if you are interested. I'll sort through everybody and randomize who gives who gifts. GOOOO

(I'll send out the details to everyone on Sunday so that people have time to show up)

Edit: Just to clarify it is not required that gifts are something physical. Art and games are just as good.

I know I'm the one who brought the idea up in the chat but to be honest I don't know if I'll have the financial means to get someone a gift :(

i don't want to be lame, but i have a few things in mind that i don't really need anymore, but could still be of use for a gift. that way i won't have to buy anything, if thats ok.

I know there was someone here who does a secret santa thing in january, I think it was Shida. Might grant people overseas [from north america] some extra time and pay for super slow shipping if they want.

or we could just pair them up with each other

Oh and slack the word is actually "smote," just for future reference.

again your gift doesn't have to be something physical, you can give a digital thing like a drawing or a game, etc
Title: Re: TBA gift exchange!
Post by: slack on December 5, 2013 05:36 PM
in that case, i might as well participate
Title: Re: TBA gift exchange!
Post by: Bamyasi on December 5, 2013 08:12 PM
But "smiting" is in fact a word.

No worries though. I made a huge grammatical error in the installation thread last night. Pizza point to whomever finds it.

But yeah you don't have to have seen them personally. Sound/video installation is one of my favourite mediums so I have a few others I can post later.

Not necessarily incorrect, but pretty clumsy

Title: Re: TBA gift exchange!
