[size0]Er. I know it's a bit weird to call is a "forum activity" since I got unexpectedly busy this weekend and didn't even have time to consult any of the Admins and Staff about this... *gives fellow Staffers her bestest puppy dog eyes of sorriness* A few members have been talking about starting a Secret Santa exchange, so let's give it a shot! Here's how it'll work: Who's involved? Anyone who's a member of this forum, of course! What's a Secret Santa? [size0](Don't laugh! I know I was confused as heck when I first heard about it, so I'm explaining it now to save anyone else the confusion x3) Secret Santa is a gift exchange done usually around Christmas time. A bunch of friends/officemates/etc. throw their names into a hat and randomly pick from it. You will become the Secret Santa of the person whose name you picked out. Your job is to secretly get a gift for the person. Nobody knows who their Secret Santa is (unless you tell, of course!) and who their present is from. Of course, someone else will be your Secret Santa and you'll get a secret gift too! How does it work on this forum? The short version: 1) You sign-up on this thread with 3 keywords describing the gift you want. 2) I'll PM you the person you have to give a gift to. 3) Someone else will be giving you a gift. 4) You PM me your gift when it's done and I'll pass it on for you. The long version: I'll be the mediator between the Secret Santa and their partners. What will happen is: 1) You sign up in this thread if you want to take part in the exchange OR you can PM me directly. (If my PM box is full, please sign up on this thread.) Please say something like I want to join! so I know for certain that you're joining. 2) The thread/sign-up will be open from today to Friday. 3) I will randomly pick who will be whose partner. (Yes, you'll have to trust me. )4) I'll PM everyone to tell them who their recipient is. It's completely private and you should NOT tell anyone whose Secret Santa you are. 5) You get started on that gift! I don't think we should put a deadline on when gifts should be exchanged, but a vague timeframe would be between Christmas and New Year since most people are already busy with real-life Christmas preparations. Suggestions pls! 6) When you're done with your gift, you PM it to ME. I will then PM the gift to your recipient. This is to keep your identity secret. To keep to the theme of the game, I'd ask that you don't reveal your identity to your recipient until after the gifts have been exchanged. Keep the anticipation going! ![]() I don't know what gift to get this person! / Can I avoid getting a gift that has nothing to do with me? While you're signing up, you will also state three keywords describing the kind of gift you want. Keep it simple, such as night, Aerith, screwdriver. These keywords will serve as a guide for your Secret Santa, who will then have some idea of what to get you. It might not be exactly what you want, but it's better than leaving them blind, right? What kind of gifts are possible? Anything you can think of! Virtual gifts are pretty much your only route, since I won't be asking for any personal addresses :3 But other than that, go wild! And no, you don't have to keep your gifts Cleris-based. This is Christmas, not Clerismas! Can I ask for a Cloti-based gift? Okay, nobody's actually asked me this and I doubt it'll even come up. But just to cover all possibilities: Cloti is not allowed on this forum, but for now, I think it should be okay to put "Cloti" as a keyword. If your Secret Santa gives you a Cloti-based gift, I'll PM it to you and you can post it anywhere else. If your Secret Santa doesn't want to do something Cloti, I'll PM you and you can change your keyword. Questions? PARTICIPATION? Post them here! ^__^ |

Yes, that's what I was wondering. Does the virtual gift have to be limited to fanart/graphics? I'm afraid my work will drastically and embarrasingly pale in comparison to other fantastic designers/artists here... |

Aerith, Spiritual, Love Be advised, however, that if I'm doing the gift, I have no artistic talent. Any gifts I make are going to be text based. |

Before Lynn has time to answer, I'd like to say at least I dun care what kind of gifts I'm gonna get. A funny pic or stupid vid like this or this are all fine to meh. Therefore keywords are sth helpful for making it, right? Like Lynn says, it doesn't has to be CXA(if there's no keywords involves). For me, this is just a chance to communicate with all Cleriths here with fun, what's about the gifts really doesn't matter. Come join us Cleriths!!!
