I said no but I would do it. I have just seen too much bitching and complaining about this things.


"Hey, I sent you Alien Soldier JP and all you sent was Turd Burglar 3!"

"Yeah, but... err... R@RE!"



It's a good idea but not worth it for me unless AndyC or Alabama Shrimp would be up for it.

I would like to think our regulars are more "grown up" than those on other sites.

Also that is why it would not be open to EVERYONE.

And the 10-20$ range sounds good Smiley

Return addy is also a good idea.

That or delivery confirmation at least.

To make sure the packages arrive.

Personally i don't think  it is a big deal if someone knows i got them their gift as it generally seems to come out one way or the other.

Plus i woud want to make sure if the package didn't arrive at their place it would come back to mine.

this can all be done very easily. after i sat and thought about it i came up with this:

1. all involved parties add games to their want list that are in the $10-$20 range.

2. a staff member chooses to be a third party and collect involved parties address'. he/she then PMs everyone their receivers address.

3. they then choose a game and mail it with a delivery confirmation. do not put a name on the return address just the address. this way its still secret and you can track the package to make sure it arrives.

4. the delivery confirmations are submitted to the third party and PMed to the proper member.

the receiver cant bitch because the game came from their want list and they dont know who sent them their gift. and of course keep this only to the members with good reputations, deemable by staff.

You're my hero. Vanilla Ice RULES! I can't believe that there is another SERIOUS Vanilla Ice fan on this site. The special edition DVD should be called "Cool As Ice: Drop That Zero Edition".

I was thinking more of postage. It would be a $10 game +$10 to send it. By then you've spent $20 on a game that isn't worth much. Unless it's actually worth $20 and it's bought for a low price.

maybe an alternative 20-40 price range would a viable option

either way, I think we need some sort of system to verify the members involved.  I trust the mods here as far as overseeing that this goes smoothly.  (though, a self-addressed 50 game haul sounds tempting, hehe)  I would like to avoid stealing from DP, but maybe we need a feedback thread or something.  The $10 price point doesn't seem too bad for the first one as it isn't a terribly large loss (though certainly a loss).  It would definately be a good way for some fresh faces to earn some credibility.

As James has said for us few not in the USA it might be bit of a problem, unless you wanted something that was easy to get here but how would we know what was and wasn't worth $10-20? i know at £5-10 you wont get much and the potage might be high too.

I'd be interested, but as others have mentioned, it may not be worthwhile given international postage rates.  It may therefore be better to stick to people that are very trusted in the community, and then make the secret santa gifts slightly more expensive to reduce the weight of the shipping cost.  We could also try and get even numbers of participants from particular regions to match up so that everyone's shipping costs remain at a minimum.
