Title: Secret Annual Gift Exchanger Thing
Post by: Capman on November 07, 2016, 09:41:50 AM
Hey hey!  I just realized it was November and that will tie into the next month.  Anyway, for the past couple of years we have done a secret Santa gift exchange thing.  Gifts can be funny, personal, and most importantly $20 or less.

Anyway if you want to be a part of it this year, it's a 2-step process.

1) Fill out the following template of your favorite things and post in this thread:
Quote
Books:
RPGs:
Movies:
Videogames:
Interests:

2) Send me a PM with your mailing information and whether or not you are willing to ship internationally.

If we have enough participants (which I'm gonna call 5 or more) by December 1st 5th I will use a completely random system to sort participants and the gift-giving cycle will begin.

'Tis the season for every public service to annoy the shit out of us through the medium of sitting and sulking like petulant children.

I'm starting to get a little worried that the gift I sent hasn't arrived where it's supposed to be - I was mailing a letter yesterday and discovered the postbox was rammed to the top. I need to go ask at my local office, but yeah. Just in case someone's still wondering 'what the f, mate'.
