When we do the guess who sent it thing, can we do it such that people take pictures of what they have? I know I sent someone a zanpakuto last Christmas and I'm not even sure if they got it. T_T

Out of curiosity, when will this get closed, or at least find out who you'll get?
I'm sure some of us would like to know before long. Not all of us have money, even pocket change, every week. Personally, a few days after payday I'm usually broke or fairly close.
I'd like time to think about what to get a person, and in turn, time to get said object and prepare to mail it out/mail it off.
And if I get this at any wrong payday, then It'd be terrible to find out I can't get X for person Y or I'm going to be late, or something.
I'm sure someone else has to be in a similar position. Just a question~

x3 I'd be glad to get something even if it's after Christmas. I'm not totally impatient ( I'm in no position to be impatient anyway)
I've never done Secret Santas online so I was wondering how it was done before. Did people give their addresses to someone that redistributed them? Are we going to know who these people are if we are their secret santa?

Getting added to the list will end with November and then it should only be a day or two until everyone get's their person. Giving them about 2 weeks to get stuff ready and set out.

If you barely have enough money to make it through the month, wouldn't it be better not to participate? Otherwise we'll end up with similar scenarios as Koori (or was it Tenko?) mentioned on the first page. I would suggest spending the money where it's needed and hope to participate next year instead. :3
Miki I will paypal you the money for a stamp. Just write out a thoughtful letter; maybe include a picture.
Think of it as my secret santa gift to you.
This goes for anyone who lives in the continental US/canada.
If I can make the site a better place at the cost of .50/member, I'd be glad too. I'll even mail out a stamp to everyone in a pre-Secret Santa donation.
Or, you know, Tova can turn ads back on for 24 hours and pay for the entire event with that revenue X3

e.e how much money is that even?
Much more than the $10 this entire thing will cost if everyone just sends letters. Assuming you can find envelopes for .06 a piece.
Honestly I wish Tova would just put on ads. I don't think anyone here is offended that he's making money off our hits. As long as the adword/banner train/online advertising venue is still a venue...I mean if he doesn't want the money he could use it all to buy prizes for events for our site or something. L5R does that with its online events like the Jeweled Championships.
>Winner one year got a kobune (river boat) made out of jade...so classy.
