Mczipo Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Hey everybody, Zipo here bringing you announcements and all that jazz. Christmas is in a few weeks and that means presents, candy, friendship and good cheer in the air. For here that means it's time once again for the Secret Santa practice to begin! We did this last year and I think it went pretty well, and it was done the year before too with good reception so, why don't we do it again this year. Basically for those who don't know, Secret Santa is this thing/practice where you have a bunch of people who enter, their names get mixed up, and then they're given a completely random person to give a gift to on Christmas. The thing that's secret about it is that the person receiving the gift has no idea who will give them it. Now that sounds all and good but you picky picky people might complain, "Oh I really do like you and all but I don't feel like giving out my address on the internet." Well guess what, we live in the age of computers and technological gadgets, which means the gifts can be completely digital. Now you might be asking, "What's a digital gift, and what things are included in that category?" Well I'm glad you asked because here's a list of those things right here. (Which I stole from Ame who stole it from Saya years ago). Wallpapers, Drawings, Sprites, Cards, Poetry (collection), Fanfiction, Story, Photographs, Collages, Video, Song, Flash movie, Website And there we have it, of course there could be other things, be creative! Now if some things are bought from the site/sprite shop, we don't exactly have a trading system in place yet. That means that you will just have to message my lovely assistant Amethyst the details on what you purchased for your person, and then it will be delivered free of charge. Just think of Ame as an overly glorified mail-person. The only question is, who wants in? In order to sign up, just post here saying so- but also, as a hint to whoever becomes your Secret Santa, you might also list some digital gifts, or things you take interest in they can work from, or even if there's anything around the shops here that you want. Now be creative and have fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Summer Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 (edited) I-I have movie links. Does it count? Or we could -always- make Pokemon teams and send them around. c= As for what I like. I'll like a really good artwork. Not anime, something like my avvy. I particulaarly like lifelike work that isn't 3D. Confusing, I know. My avvy should be a good hint. Or you guys can get me a good Non-weather OU team. Edited December 7, 2012 by Summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 my gift will be letting that person know how I really feel about them <------ is your hint 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanco Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Well said, Phoenix. Anyway, this sounds interesting. I'm just getting back into photoshop now so I could come up with something radical. As you can tell by my current sig (which I made myself), I'm a bit rusty, but I'm sure I'll get better at it as time goes on. By Christmas I should be bomb.

Supergum1295 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I'll give it a shot. I'm good at writing, but I suck at drawing anything, much less making sprites... basically, I'm in as long as I'm not asked to do anything that requires artistic talent of any kind >> About my interests, I'm a Moonie (Sailor Moon fan), and my favorite Sailor Scout/Senshi is Sailor Venus. I also like Yu-Gi-Oh, and GX is my favorite of the series. Lastly (and quite obviously), I enjoy Pokémon a lot. If I could get my hands on a nice drawing starring me with my league team (listed below) in the background, I'd go as far as to make it my profile picture both on the forums and on FB for years to come Any specific styles I'm looking for? Stories, drawings, anything that comes to your head; I'm only giving you suggestions So, yeah, good luck to anyone who's chosen to give to me, and... Merry Christmas to all of you :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godot Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Sure, I can sprite or draw something , and maybe I should get around to actually giving my secret santa last year something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Amethyst Posted December 6, 2012 Administrators Share Posted December 6, 2012 Will would like to participate as well. His computer is dead, though, so he can't post himself, but he's confident he can still produce a gift. (I'm refraining from participation this time because last year, Taro was my santa and got me a thing that no one can follow, and I don't really want anyone to do so after what happened to him) ((That probably sounds really sketch, but it isn't actually ask sketch as it sounds)) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TsundereQueenZephi Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) I'd like to have a go. I'd like to keep my gift to whoever it is a secret until they get their prezzie :3 Edit: To anyone who cares, I'm not fussy with presents as long as put some heart into it Edited December 6, 2012 by Explosms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jelly Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I'm in if everyone is willing to do it! I like League of Legends and free shit. I also like Cave Story even though I've only played it once at a friend's house :'c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
