[quote name='ZForce915']Do we know how the trading works yet? Can I give someone a game I already downloaded? Say I don't want to play Paper Mario anymore, can I give it away?[/quote]

No giving away games. Only buying them for other people.

Ok, I only first heard about this on the CAGCast.

They talked about this on CAG?!

Did the words "Zen" or "Davis" or "Zen Davis" leave Cheapy's beautiful lips?

Did they? DID THEY?!

I think we should make the deadline midnight on the 26th, one day after Christmas. Remember last year when Nintendo put up SMB, Street Fighter, R-Type, and some other game I can't remember on the 25th? I don't think many people will want to miss out on good games. Now those games last year aren't that great in comparison to the selection we have now, but last year the VC didn't really have a lot of good stuff. Maybe this year we get Mario RPG, SSB, and the opening of Wii Ware.

I'd imagine that the deadline is so early so that pairs can be sorted out and everybody can be added and whatnot well in advance of the actual gift channel being added.

Yeah, well... you're something else.

Listen to the show, fool! Best podcast out there in my opinion.

I really hope they let us know the details about this AND when we can start doing this. This way, this thread can take off :)

I'M GOING TO BUY SOMEONE CHECK Mii OUT! :D
 
I was thinking about how I have Ocarina of Time, Master's Quest, and Majora's Mask for the GameCube, along with The Original Legend of Zelda and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. And I've spent some time thinking "man, I bet someone is most certainly going to get me one of these, rather than any other Nintendo 64 game, since I never owned a system and never even played StarFox 64.

I thought long and hard about what kind of post I should make regarding this. And then it hit me: hypocricy is fun. It's great to list the games that I have for the GameCube in the preceeding paragraph, and then list proper explanation as to why that doesn't matter. For example, if JollyDwarf signs up for the service, he will more than likely get me one of these - just because fuck me. If someone like Strell will get get to be my Secret Santa, I can expect awesomness.

But that's when I thought - that's exactly what's so awesome. It's the fact that there is a lottery, in which you can only lose by not playing. Therefore, I say that we add a pledge of honor to this endeavor:

I hereby pledge that I won't be a dickpenis to others. I pledge not to complain like a little whiny bitch if someone did happen to get me something I didn't want. I pledge not to look into the mouth of my gift, regardless of the equine presence within it. I promise to be the best Santa I could ever hope to be, and I will not take my fristruation with mothers, mothers-in-law, sisters, sisters-in-law, brothers, brothers-in-law, and other relatives, and other relatives-in-law, on other CAG members. There is no such thing as a war on Christmas. Happy Kwanzachistmahanukah!
 
[quote name='JJSP']Supposedly Zen Davis left the board for a month. :([/QUOTE]

Indeed, what would imply that, his last post didnt indicate anything like that?
 
[quote name='The Crotch']Guess that explains his last post in the Zack & Wiki thread. Sort of.

...

No, not really.[/QUOTE]

Lets hope that just means he is busy with school and the hollidays and the secret santa gig.

Daroga, if that ISNT the case let me know and I'll can help out.
 
Hey guys,

Thanks for the offers :) I talked with Zen and he's still totally helping out with the Secret Santa. He's just not going to be posting on CAG for a while, while he gets other stuff worked on.

I'll be updating the list in a day or so. School / Galaxy owns me right now.
 
[quote name='munch']This may have been covered, but is there any failsafe for giving someone a game they already have?[/quote]Yup, it should be built into the service.
 
[quote name='daroga']Yup, it should be built into the service.[/QUOTE]

What does it entail? Will it show us what games we already own, or will it give a message that they own the game if we try to buy it? Or, will it just give the points to the person if the game is already owned? So many possibilities.

I dont have any VC games yet, But I have zelda collectors edition so none of those 4 games. Dont need mario 64 either.


OP I am in Canada Will that matter for Gifting?? If this is a problem or an unknown ill back out. Its not a big deal

And If we are aiming for between 1000 and 1600 points We can send more than 1 game yes?

We don't know, just have a little faith that Nintendo implements a failsafe system at all.
 
Great idea. I heard about it on the CAGCast. I'm in.

I have Kirby, Zelda (1), Super Mario Bros 1, 2, & 3 and Solomon's Key.

I'm hoping for something fresh. Mario & Zelda have been played out. I know what to expect from them. I want something you like that isn't 100% common.
 
I'm in - thanks for setting this up.

Last minute deadline drop for me. OP if for some reason I don't qualify for this please leave me a PM about it cause I work late tonight and won't be able to get back online until about 11:30 tonight. I know I should've registered sooner but I kept forgetting.

Also whoever gets me might have a harder time getting me a game since I already have about 30 VC games.
 
I'm glad I saw this before the end. I remembered reading about it, and completely forgot to check back in :)

I don't yet have anything VC.

This is a great idea.
 
I am interested but on a crappy hotel wi-fi I will post my info tomorrow when I have a decent connection if that works. Also I will try to check through the thread to see if there is an answer to what happens if you are gifted a game that you already have.

EDIT: wireless is behaving a bit better

like: platformers, RPGs, strategy, cool stuff
not crazy about: old sports games, most shooters, other odd stuff (see: Donkey Kong Jr Math :) )

if needed I will edit when I get home to double check what games I already downloaded
 
Everything is closed now. I'm gonna get the list finalized. If you have a PM into Zen Davis and myself, we're still shifting through them, so hang tight!
 
Nice list of people, glad we have a good amount of participation.

I guess I'll need to look into getting another points card soon just for this.
