For you newbies who don't know what this is, here is how it works. You announce to the world in this thread that you intend to play. Then you MUST PM me your name and address. I draw names to pair or group up players. You will receive a name and address from me via PM on or around Dec 10. You research that person, go buy a gift, and send it to them postmarked by Dec 15. Patiently wait by your mailbox to receive your gift (I sent your name and address to someone else who researched you, bought you a gift, and mailed it to you before Dec 14.) You can open it when you want but you must post pictures of the loot for all of us to see.
Here are the RULES, If you don't like them, to bad.
You MUST be over 18 to play.
You MUST have over 200 meaningful posts and be reasonably active on the forum. (I decide what is meaningful and reasonable)
You MUST proclaim your intent to participate in this thread prior to December 8.
You MUST send me a PM with your Name and Address prior to December 9.
Minimum gift amount is $25. Maximum is up to you but don't expect to get more than $25.
You may or may not get the name of the person sending your gift.
You will get a return PM from me before Dec 10 with the name and address of the person you are buying for.
You MUST send the gift prior to Dec 16.
You may open the package when you get it or wait to Xmas.
I will periodically post a list of official participants on this thread. It is up to you to check back after you send your PM to make sure you are on the list.
A separate thread will be started to post pictures of the loot you received.
Let the fun begin.
