Goddamn. I hope you're my secret santa in that case. :3

I'm not participating actually, since some people might not think it fair.

4 DAYS! I don't care if I reuse objects for the title!

Nobu · « **Reply #121 on:** November 16, 2009, 02:09:34 PM »

What, really?

That kinda sucks actually.

Rin Kagamine · « **Reply #122 on:** November 16, 2009, 02:13:40 PM »

Really, I just don't know how people would react to the guy running it participating. Still, if no one has any objections, I'll throw my own hat in the ring. I promise I won't cheat.

In response to the people saying CPSS is a bad idea, I don't see what the harm is in trying to pass on a little goodwill, if only because right now I need to have some faith in mankind not being complete assholes more than ever. True, people aren't going to send you the best gifts, and it's not going to be anything big, but isn't it the thought that counts? And if you're not in the position where you can actually send anything properly, that's what the Creative Exchange is for. Basically, I want to think that contrary to what the mods are saying there is some tiny degree of camaraderie here, and that people can find the time to contribute to it.

I know that whoever I get, I'm going to make an effort to produce something that'll at least make them smile, and I'd hope that at least the majority of people who are taking part will do the same. Maybe I'm looking for something that isn't there, I dunno. >_>

They're all Scrooge. Maybe the Three Secret Ghosts of Secret Christmas will visit them, possibly in secret.

Whatever happens, I just want people to have some fun.

By the way:

Gift: 11
CE: 8

Keep 'em coming

Nobu · « **Reply #126 on:** November 16, 2009, 05:33:59 PM »

You can't fault some people for not wanting to participate for whatever reason though. To each their own, y'know?

Thanks Vic, you're pretty sweet for setting all of this up. Is anyone opposed to Vic joining gift exchange? Because i'd like to see him be able to participate if he wanted to.

I don't mind. So he knows who his Secret Santa is, oh well, big deal. Defeating the point a little, maybe, but whatever. =P

Nobu · « **Reply #128 on:** November 16, 2009, 05:39:43 PM »

Well, there could be some kind of randomization method where Vic himself wouldn't even know who was who? I dunno. I didn't even think of the that, Arashi.

Well, I mean, I don't care anyway. The only fun that would be lost is a teeny-tiny bit of his own, not even a lot, I think. Doesn't make a difference for the rest of us. <3

Well he'd have to know, unless he set up some sort of robot to pick names out of a robot hat and send robot PMs to everyone with their respective info.

Solution: next time use robots.

Drake · « **Reply #131 on:** November 16, 2009, 06:33:51 PM »

Or just y'know, someone who isn't participating.

Rin Kagamine · « **Reply #133 on:** November 16, 2009, 06:55:23 PM »

And that was the issue I had from the beginning, was to see if I could make it truly random enough, but since I'm drawing names and sending the information, I would always know. Plus, having someone else send the PMs means that a new third person would get your information, and I already said I would avoid that.

Additionally, I was also planning to, should someone get a partner that doesn't send anything, I would out something together just to make sure that they at least got something in the end.

I don't know if I actually want to participate right now though, since the pool is still a little small. We'll see.

HakureiSM · « **Reply #134 on:** November 17, 2009, 12:44:08 AM »

19 gift exchanges so far, right? Quite a few, imo.

Oh, and Vic should join if he wants to, even if he knows who he's sending the gift to.
Also, an option would be if an odd number of people join.

Only 11 gift exchanges, the rest will be exchanging stories/art/love.

Since no one will be direct partners (If A sends to B, B may send to anyone except A) then it won't matter how many people sign up.

Stories/art/love are still gifts, right?

Uh, I shoulda thought of this. My Mathskillz are pretty pathetic today, sorry.

When is the deadline for sending your stuff for CE?

You must have something submitted by December 24th. If you can submit before then, please do.

Deadline is on FRIDAY!!!!!

Rin Kagamine · « **Reply #139 on:** November 18, 2009, 12:57:57 PM »

Cool reminder:

I get home from work at about 26:00 on Friday, so that'll be the deadline for signing up. I'll be drawing names and sending out partners that night, so everyone will have that weekend to do shopping. I'll start assigning partners for the CE tonight, like I said. Since I won't be assigning all of them at once, you may not get your partner until Friday. Or maybe I'll assign them all today, who knows?

Any last-minute-ish question?

I prefer that system to saying "2 AM Saturday" because you would be amazed at the amount of people who assume that it actually means Sunday at 2 AM.

Plus, it's the time system they use for TV listings in GLORIOUS NIPPON, so it must be the best!

Nobu · « **Reply #142 on:** November 18, 2009, 02:40:20 PM »

At first I was like "Roffle roffle 26:00 Friday means 2 AM Saturday, Vic messed up ahah--... wait.. actually, that's pretty nifty."

HakureiSM · « **Reply #143 on:** November 18, 2009, 07:24:00 PM »

I didn't get the 26:00 imediately. I was like 'wtf 26 hours'. Yeah, I'm slow.

_Zac_ · « **Reply #144 on:** November 18, 2009, 11:59:19 PM »

That time system confused me so much when looking for anime air times.

I still don't get why you would use it. Just use 2:00 Saturday.

It catches people's attention, so they read the entire thing. And then they sign up _hopefully

I'm not in any position to think of a new thread title right now, so I'll change it when I wake up.

Also, 51 hours until the deadline!
