Hey y'all, guess what!  It's that time of year again!

4. If you don't send a present you will be BANNED!

This doesn't apply to non-participants, right? :derp:

[DX7.EP]

Well, this is very interesting! Might want to go for this, after getting what I will be sending as a present.

I wonder if it's fine to give hints as to what will be sent in both the PM and in thread. For the former it would somewhat help with effectiveness of partner assignment and the latter...well, it's more for overall interest in the matter.

[Rin Kagamine]

Hi I can't spell.

This doesn't apply to non-participants, right? :derp:

You still have to send me a present, you just won't get anything back

I wonder if it's fine to give hints as to what will be sent in both the PM and in thread. For the former it would somewhat help with effectiveness of partner assignment and the latter...well, it's more for overall interest in the matter.

Don't give hints, you'll spoil the surprise!  Also, it's a secret!

[Reddyne]

Santa, for Christmas I would like

Spoiler:

Aya's S2

. Er, I'm all in, boss. I'll be sending along the relevant info when I'm done with work for the day.

Hopefully this year I'll be able to come up with a couple of ideas for good gifts. AUSA might be able to provide me with something interesting for y'alls.

[♛ Apher-Forte]

as before the two years, I am in.
lets hope I don't get you again Vic. because I am lost as to what to send to you.
OMG NOT RANDUM ENUFF YOU CHEAT HAXXOR STOP ROLLIN'

[Drake]

hooray o/

[JT]

Aha. I was just wondering when this was going to show up.

[Tamashii Kanjou]

I was in last year, and it was good fun~

So, I'm here to sign up on behalf of... erm... the Deities that roam round here...

Fun times to be had~ At least there's no Xmas songs yet.  :3

[triangles]

THAT'S FUNNY
I DON'T SEE VIC'S NAME ON THAT SIGNUP SHEET YET

[Mimachiro]

Hm, my budget is kinda weird right now, but I'd definitely think about it. I'll ponder it for a few days first. :3

[N-Forza]

Everyone should enter because they might have a chance of getting something super-special-awesome from Japan...

[HakureiSM]

hey vic where's your permaban I'm joking lol

Not sure if I should join this year :derp:

[[Y]oukai [J]esus]

Obviously I must join and blow my money.

[Rin Kagamine]

THAT'S FUNNY
I DON'T SEE VIC'S NAME ON THAT SIGNUP SHEET YET

I DON'T SEE ANYONE'S NAME ON THAT LIST YET

hey vic where's your permaban I'm joking lol

Not sure if I should join this year :derp:

You should join this year so that way you can get TWO PRESENTS!

[Lloyd Dunamis]

Having second thoughts if I'll join despite tightness in budget >.<... Though I guess most of everyone experiences this, so...

...Still having second thoughts o.o

Regardless, I pray for this year's Secret Santa Success! >w<

Are you willing to ship international? Yes/No (US/Canada residents only)

This question concerns only US/Canada residents, but doesn't mean the contest is for US/Canada residents only, right?
Well, different countries have different policies on shipping stuff abroad...I think...

[Grimarg]

Maybe I'll participate, but with something hand-made, cuz I don't have money.

[Rin Kagamine]

This question concerns only US/Canada residents, but doesn't mean the contest is for US/Canada residents only, right?

The contest is open to everyone, but anyone outside the US and Canada must be willing to ship internationally as there is a very high chance that you will not have a partner in your own country.

[HakureiSM]

I think everyone regardless of residence should be willing to ship internationally to participate :wat:
Otherwise it narrows down the possibillities.

Also fuck the police, I'm in. Again.

[DX7.EP]

I got the to-be-present item. Time to do this.

[pineyappled]

Mom said maybe.
Around how expensive should the present be?

[[Y]oukai [J]esus]

So, I PM'd you. Why isn't my name on the list yet ;_;

[Lloyd Dunamis]

Differences in timezones and availability. It'll be updated soon, please wait warmly. :3

@Vic, Haku: Ah, figures. Thanks for clearing that up! >w<

[N-Forza]

Because he is not a robot. Believe me, I checked.

Also, why not "Ranta Claws"?

[The ⑨th Zentillion]

Hmmm, I could do this, but I'll have to think about it. I mean, I don't want to jump in and wind up getting banned because I couldn't get a present ready on time! Still, risk vs reward... yeah we'll see.

[Gramity]

Oh that would really be interesting I'll make sure to check my postal office for info (I just sent one thing to a friend once and don't remember having tracking or anything)
will come up with a PM (surely) later

[Dorakyura]

sounds like fun

[Rin Kagamine]

Yessssssss, all of you should sign up because it'll be fun!

Hmmm, I could do this, but I'll have to think about it. I mean, I don't want to jump in and wind up getting banned because I couldn't get a present ready on time! Still, risk vs reward... yeah we'll see.

You've got a month to get something together, no one's saying the present has to be related to Touhou.  I still think the most interesting gift I've seen given was a bottle of pure maple syrup.

Also, why not "Ranta Claws"?

I thought about it, but decided on this one.  I have a few more Rans in santa outfits, so that may change

[Rin Kagamine]

First post updated with everyone who has PMed me so far.  If you don't see your name than it's because you haven't PMed me your information yet.

Mom said maybe.
Around how expensive should the present be?

As expensive or inexpensive as you want it to be.  If I had to make a guideline, I'd say you should limit yourself to no more than 20 USD.

good avatar imo
