[quote name='daroga']Alright, I changed some things up. Please take a look at #1, and letters B and C. Does that sound better?[/QUOTE]

It's good. Yes, it does sound better. :applause:
 
I think there are two important rules that need to be added and agreed to before anyone signs up (up to daroga, of course).

1.) Don't be a douche - Don't purposely get someone a bad gift, for whatever reason. Don't be too much of a cheap ass unless you have a good reason. And don't try to spoil this for anyone.

2.) Bear in mind that someone's going to be a douche - and it'll likely be the person giving you a gift. Don't complain or whine or expect everyone else to chip in to get you a replacement gift because you're unhappy with what you got. Also, don't complain if you get someone $20 worth and you only get a $5 NES game. Perhaps someone was being a douche, perhaps they just couldn't afford much this year. Remember, the person who sent you the $5 game isn't the same that you just spent $20. Basically, keep in mind that you could end up getting screwed. But it's not about what you get, it's about the giving. :)

Also, I don't really see the need in adding four different Friend Codes - just add the two you need to - the one you're giving a gift to and the one you're getting a gift from. Granted, you could probably do a search and find out who the Friend Code you're getting from belongs to, but that falls under the "don't be a douche" category of not trying to ruin the surprise.
 
[quote name='lordwow']I agree with what you've said here. There are obviously some of us that have been around forever, and post here a ton, but don't trade on here. I would be more than willing to "send first" or get others to vouch for me. I think we just need to have a system in place (possibly another thread) for those of us in that boat, to not clog this thread with those complaints and requests.[/QUOTE]

I wouldn't trust you, or anyone else for that matter. YOU"RE ALL THEIVES!
 
[quote name='munch']Have any new details been cleared up? This sounds like a huge headache for the OP, so good luck with this![/quote]daroga updated the OP with some refinements, if you hadn't seen them yet.

Looks good to me as it's currently set.
 
I think I can manage to participate in this though I can't remember honsetly if I've beeen on the site a year or more or not. I would suggest to keep an element of surprise though make a list of stuff you would like and we try to get the person one from that and possibly one off their list that they may have completely overlooked. That way they get one they know they want an a nice surprise to boot :).
 
Like the new rule changes, this is shaping up to be fun for all.

I agree with the proposal that eBay feedback can used in lieu of iTrader feedback (or in combination with).
 
I just wanted to throw it out there that for all the people who want to get in and don't have the qualifications, I can easily be bribed with hot steamy sex and mangos.

I'm qualified, but I'm always up for some hot steamy sex.

You'll be the female. ;) ;)

Looks like everything is shaping up well, can't wait.
 
Mmm in a thread about being someone's secret Santa and now the talk of sex just came up.. I just came up with something really hot and I must go buy my significant other a Santa suit!

"How you like yo present NOW ::spits:"

ON TOPIC.
Yes, I look forward to this very much. :applause:

Disqualifed! You're not allowed to make hot sex jokes about other males when you're really gay.

...unless you'll be the female. ;);)

Er... Merry Christmas everyone! (Zen Davis started it.)

But of course. Now I just wish someone would offer me a mango.

This thread .. scares me.
Good idea OP, I like that the join date was added as an "OR" and not and, which means I might be able to participate, depends on when the signups come around and I'll see how the finances are .. great idea nonetheless. On terms of people being cheap, if you can't afford 1000 points then you probably shouldn't sign up (thats my opinion atleast) .. good luck OP, you'll need it!
 
Starting now you can register. Any "Sign me ups!" before do not count, please read the OP carefully for how to handle this!

Thanks!

Hmm. On second thought, I really don't have any preferences when it comes to games. I guess when it's time to post our games that should speak for what I like. I just don't really enjoy sports games (UNLESS NBA JAM COMES OUT!)

You've made me a very happy and horny man.

Remember that everyone who doesn't meet the requirements should PM DAROGA and ME to get into this thing.
 
Are we listing the genre's we prefer.. or is that later? I see a few people state their username & FC..with some genre's...:whistle2:k

:rofl:
I didn't see that it's been updated again! sorry!! :lol:
Last time I re-read the OP was when Daroga asked if it was better.

I just wanted to make up a reason to use colors in my post.

I like colors.:bouncy:
 
:pray: Oh how I wish Cho Aniki comes out soon. I think I'll be corrupting everyone's Christmas with that!!

General rules for the Secret Santa project:
A) Zen and I will pair up everyone. We work as a team so neither one of us assigns ourselves. You'll receive a PM when your secret Santa mate is selected. When you've sent your gift, send with Zen or I (whoever sent you the PM first) a note to let us know it was sent.
B) Aim for between 1000 and 1600 points spent.
C) Take a look at reviews and general consensus on games. Don't give complete crap. No one wants Donkey Kong Jr. Math (or Cho Anki).
D) Whatever rules and stipulations Nintendo may put into place on these transfers. My guess is that Someone from America can't gift to someone in Japan or Europe, but we'll see.
 
[quote name='BlueLobstah']Games owned has been dropped?[/quote]We're going on the assumption that Nintendo would have a check in place that would prevent someone from buying a game for someone who already owns the game.

I realize that, but I'll use myself as an example. I already have other ports of Legend of Zelda: LTTP (GBA and SNES). I honestly have no desire to own it on the Virtual Console when I already own it in two other locations. It's an owned game that falls outside of the boundaries of the Virtual Console, which is what I thought the list would help prevent against.

Probably something worth taking into consideration, daroga and Zen. I understand the surprise aspect, but if someone has three iterations of Super Mario Bros., just not on VC, they'd probably get more value out of DK Math Jr. than SMB on VC.

No.

No they wouldn't.

But let Daroga and I talk about it.

You are getting Earthbound, whoever you are. Or Sin and Punishment.

I read the whole OP and nowhere do you actually explain what the hell you are talking about. Perhaps there is some information missing?
