Re: CPSS: CALL NOW and we'll TRIPLE THE AMOUNT! (new changes)
« Reply #61 on: November 10, 2009, 05:37:55 PM »
After some discussion, I decided to make a few changes to the application requirements.

Firstly, IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR GIFT EXCHANGE!
If you ship internationally then you will need to give your phone number. The US Post Office has new requirements for international shipping and one of them is that a phone number is required. Feel free to make one up but don?t cry to me when your package doesn?t arrive/isn?t delivered.

You don't have to send me your number.  If you do, it will not go to your partner.  Main point is: have a phone number.  I don't need it but my government does :neverforget:

Secondly, NOT QUITE AS IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR CE!
I am making an REQUIRED addition to the application.  In addition to the current requirements, submit 5 things you like/interests as well as 1-3 dislikes.  Same reasoning as with the Gift exchange, some people might not know you as well as others on the forum, and this can help insure we get some decent contributions.

Note: you do not have to make something according to what your partner likes; this is only here in case you find yourself stuck.

Third, FAIRLY UNIMPORTANT!
I considered taking T-shirt sizes in the Gift Exchange app, but ruled it out due to size differences around the world (I wear an L in the US easily, but a Japanese XL is a squeeze, and European sizes are a crapshoot).  I also like to imagine that it will be more amusing this way.

Basically, if you want to tell me your T-shirt size you can, but at this point I am not going to require it.


The new applications look like this:
If you want to participate in the gift exchange, you need to PM me, Vic Viper, the following:

Subject line: CPSS Gift
Real name (first and last):
Home/mailing/real address:
Willing to ship international?
Willing to receive subjective material (porn Touhou H-doujins)?
*Phone number (Optional to me, required for international shipping)
*(If you ship internationally then you will need to give your phone number. The US Post Office has new requirements for international shipping and one of them is that a phone number is required. Feel free to make one up but don?t cry to me when your package doesn?t arrive/isn?t delivered.)

***If you don't post very much, or are worried because no one knows who you are, include some things that you're into with this PM (anime, cars, Kurt Vonnegut, w/e) and I will pass that information on to your partner.***

If you want to participate in the Creative Exchange, PM me the following:

Subject line: CPSS CE
Your real first name:
Your usual forum name/what people call you around here:
5 likes and 1-3 dislikes:

If you want to participate in both, PM me the following:

Subject line: CPSS COOL GUY
Real name (first and last)
Your usual forum name/what people call you around here
Home/mailing/real address
Willing to ship international?
Willing to receive subjective material?
5 likes and 1-3 dislikes:
*Phone number:


I'll be PMing everyone who already applied directly for this missing information.

Don't wait till the last minute to enter or send. People like me need a 4 week shipping time.

OK I WANT IN BUT FIRST

I have a question for Vic and others for N-Forza :V

Vic: Could I like, get something from Japan via our beloved friend N-Forza, if he's okay with it, of course, and have it shipped directly from there to the person I'm giving the gift?
Taxes in my country are absurd, and would make it impossible for me to take part.

N-Forza: Is it possible to get something japanese, cheap and cool/cute for like 50 dollars, including shipping?

I tend to think all my ideas are stupid :V

That's a better question for my store thread than this one. And I guess, but you're going to have to be a little more specific.

Yeah, that's a question for N-Forza's thread, because that's not how a Secret Santa works.

Secret Santa is when you are randomly assigned a partner, and you will put things in a box and ship it to them; someone else will do the same for you, and you will have no idea who is sending your package.  It seems like you're just trying to buy something.

You didn't get it. Shipping stuff in and out of Brazil is a pain in the a**.
Stupid protecionism, etc.  What I thought of doing is picking whatever I want to give to my randomly assigned partner, who will most likely not live in Brazil, and send it directly to him/her, without having to import it first or buying it here.
It's really hard to find japanese stuff here, and even if I did, it would be too expensive to be rational.
It does not defeat the purpose of the Secret Santa.

You can't choose what you want.  You can give suggestions and maybe your partner will get them for you, but there's no guarantee that you'll get anything you want.

I'm sure he means I buy from an online dealer and have them post direct to my partner.

It's up to the partner.  Personally I think it spoils the spirit of Secret Santa, but I'm not exactly opposed to it.  I just don't want to be held responsible if the partner doesn't ship exactly what the other wants.

Additionally, what he's asking seems more appropriate for a buying thread than a gifting thread.  I also don't understand why getting something as a gift is better than buying and shipping it, wouldn't taxes/customs have to be paid on it in either case?

You still didn't get it, did you Vic?
What I'm saying is, I buy online or with N-Forza's help, and shhip to my partner. He/she will still not know who he/she's getting the gift from, and nor will I. It doesn't change abything at all, except the fact that I won't have to afford over 160% of taxes, and my partner won't have to wait from one day to 3 months because of shitty brazillian customs office.

Deictics failure...

The receiver still won't know who or what is sent. Instead of the sender sending their gift manually, the place they buy from does the sending. Like buying flowers.

Wait wait, you're shipping from online to your partner?  If that's the case then knock yourself out.  Your previous posts led me to believe you wanted your partners to ship things to you.

Those are two completely different things, be more clear next time  :P

I meant I ship from online or Japan to my partner.
The opposite wouldn't have made sense from the start, since I'd be paying double shipping and customs taxes anyway.

I always assumed that a Secret Santa was sort of semi-secret. It wouldn't be outright OBVIOUS who you got paired to, but from what you got you could make a decent guess.

Of course, that spoils the fun~

Unless more people do it, or N-Forza enters, or the person doesn't know if the package was sent by N-Forza :V


Also Vic, you owe me an apology for thinking I was a childish ⑨ trying to get advantage of others, when I'm a cool, honest guy. :V

I guess I need to say this:

**IF YOU ARE GOING TO SEND YOUR PACKAGE TO YOUR PARTNER FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE, I DO NOT CARE!!!  IT JUST HAS TO ARRIVE AT YOUR PARTNER OR YOU WILL BE PERMABANNED!!!**

What this means is: If you want to buy something online, like from Amazon, and have it sent to your partner, go crazy.  Just tell me that you did it and give me a tracking number, just like with everyone else.  It doesn't affect me (and why should it) but should it not arrive you'll be permabanned just the same.

Any questions?
