Fourth Annual Secret Santa! (SIGN UPS CLOSED)

[Psyclone]

LET'S DO THIS THING. /late to the party

PSYCLONE: CONFIRMED

Uh, I really like anything crafty, especially sewing and knitting (not that you have to make me something, obviously), soft things, cats, and armadillos. I love armadillos. So much. So very much. I have a lot of food allergies, so no food please. Bonus points if you get me a real armadillo.

[Ptangmatik]

Oof. Go on then Psy, you've convinced me

PTANG: CONFIRMED

Surprise me (Though in a SFW way). I will love it. I have no allergies (well, except fluoxetine) and I'm a massive geek (specifically in the areas of jazz, scifi, fantasy fiction, computer games, maths and comedy) though there still are some obscure references that go straight over my head. Finally, I have an eternal addiction to parentheses, though I don't think they'd make a good gift.

[Geoff_B]

Yowzer! Guess that's what I get for taking a break! I nearly missed this!

Geoff_B: CONFIRMED

I like games, game related merchandise, funny stuff (but not the smutty kind), cool stuff, cute stuff, geeky stuff, just surprise me I guess (again in an SFW way please!)

[Metcarfre]

I'm guessing Metcarfre would like this as a gift If you have an extra $$$ for forum gifts, of course!

Unnf yes, but I'd also gladly accept this.

[gcninja]

Looking over the names list all I can say is

[The Mimm]

In before the deadline:
THE MIMM: CONFIRMED

I am a kind of kooky individual. I have often been told if I were an animal, it would be a raccoon. I like the colour purple, craftsy things, and comedy... open to surprises. Oh, I also have a sweet tooth.

[The Jester]

THE JESTER: CONFIRMED

I’m an artist and a science student. I'm interested in history, slightly fancy menswear (to the exasperation of Met, I'm sure), books, PC games, tabletop RP games, and Nerf weapons. I don't have enough scarves. I favour the Runners colours; blue, white and black. I sadly do not own even one tie-clip. All of my pocket squares are white. I don't have enough bookmarks. I love hand-crafted things. I won't mind if you get stuck and just rush around your local thoroughfare or marketplace in a panic and buy the first thing that catches your eye.

I am not fond of Magic the Gathering, Nickleback, or green eggs and ham.

[Jamfalcon]

Okay, I've skipped this the last two years and regretted it. Not this time!

JAMFALCON: CONFIRMED

I'm a novelist, like all sorts of wordy and linguistic things, and enjoy good fiction of all genres. (Of potential relevance: I do have an eReader, but it isn't compatible with Kindle formats — .ePud is the main one I've tested on it.) I also play PC games, D&D, and Magic, enjoy chocolate (no allergies, but I can't stand mint), and like things to keep my hands busy while I'm sitting around.

[TheRocket]

Looking over the names list all I can say is

Don't hate, appreciate.

[Evil Jim]

EVIL JIM: CONFIRMED

I'm a pretty easy-going guy with a great sense of humor. I'm a fan of Monty Python & LRR & other sketch comedy, but also a fan of Lovecraftian Horror & Cthulhu-type nasties. 3D anaglyph photography (the kind that uses red/blue glasses) is a big hobby of mine & I create a lot of it myself. I enjoy a lot of chiptune music & devour the archives I can find online. I don't eat a lot of candy due to dietary concerns but I do make exceptions for unusual, novelty & foreign brands. For video games I'm a late-adopter as I like to wait & see what proves itself & also for prices to drop. I loooove retro games & retro-themed games & related items. Desert Bus is bleeding me out for bidding on those kind of items, but it's all good.

[TheRocket]

Last night for sign ups!!

[TheRocket]

Waiting on a couple addresses... YOU KNOW WHO YOU AREEEEEEEEE. senditsenditsendit.

[Evil Jim]

Oh god, I hope I made it in. I see I'm not on the list yet. Did I sign up to late??

[TheRocket]

Andddd now that the last two stragglers have come forth with their addys... LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTEDDDDDDDDDD.

[TheRocket]

I hope there were no repeats from last year, but the Christmas bag is the bag and the bag doesn't lie.

[TheRocket]

IF anyone DOES happen to get a duplicate from last year, PM me. I will only switch if I have multiple duplicates.

[nicholasmc1]

Excite!

[Lord Hosk]

What? Now I have to buy something for someone? What the crap

[Evil Jim]

The names have been drawn. Let the Internet stalking of our victi- I mean recipients... COMMENCE!

[JustAName]

I realize my description isn't very helpful for people who don't know me that well... Ocelot's description would also work for me XD

[Tapir12]

I've already got something in mind.

As usual, I feel bad for whoever gets me. Poor PlasmaCow got me two years in a row.

[Jamfalcon]

I have an inkling of the direction to go with my gift, but I'm going to need to give it some serious thought once Desert Bus is over and I've actually had some sleep.

[Elomin Sha]

If I had Tapir it wouldn't be much of a surprise what I'd have sent her. 1 kilo of chocolate. Death by chocolate! Death by chocolate! Death by chocolate!

[Phailhammer]

I think I'll need to head to Penrith soon, if I want to get something appropriate to the description.

[Keab42]

Fortunately I'm heading to London tomorrow for the Doctor Who celebration, so I'm going to have access to shops I would not normally have access to.

I'm going to have so much fun putting this gift together.
