Secret Santa 2022 - the 10th Anniversary Edition

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As December quietly snuck upon Father Christmas he looked around his New villa and Post Office and thought to himself " Yes it's Nearly ready." As he looked around pleased with the grotto's decoration and contemplated that nice bottle of Gluehwein over by the stove the Calendar caught his eye. He turned, Shocked, "Is it that time again already?"
Leaving the Gluehwein he turned in the SantaNet that had only been installed by SNN* just the other day - in time for Christmas as they had promised.
"Oh Why do they have to make these new fangled devices " he muttered " I much prefer the old way of making my list."

"Now what has Santa Puck done for the past year after volunteering and allowing me a couple of years break?"

He searched the forums and avoided the popups for Women available in the Trinsic Area, he knew those were just click candy.

"Ah Ha there we have it, now that is a nice change to the old formula, I know Santa Puck won't mind if I copy this Idea**, That reminds me Helpful Elf, Remind me to find something Special for Santa Puck to say thank you, Put that in the Diary ASAP"

he then hit a couple of keys on his SantaNet device and Waa La the post was almost ready to go. a few last minor changes left to be made and it will be ready.

** YUGE thanks to Santa Puck and I hope he will not mind me unashamedly copy and pasting the post and Using his great formula for this event.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In summary, Tier 1 is similar to the "traditional" Secret Santa. Anyone can participate regardless of whether it's your 1st day or 8th year on the server. You may get a fish steak. You may get something outrageous. The higher tiers are for people who want some sort of assurance and enjoy the idea of gifting something valuable to a player anonymously while getting something valuable in return.

Now, here are some ground rules and how this will work...
I will be solely responsible for collection and distribution of the gifts. Please arrange to meet me via discord PM. All trades will be done in event center if possible. Every gift will be logged and screenshotted. Picks will be assigned via randomizer and sent to all participants immediately. "Secret Santa 2022" plat trophies or some commemorative item will be provided if possible (completely unconfirmed conjecture) @Chris @Samorite @Keza @Peace . You may sign up for one tier, two tiers, or all 3 tiers.

Gift value will be determined by me alone based on #pricecheck, auction value, or general consensus. If any gift is deemed "lacking", the giver will have an opportunity to correct it. If they refuse or can not, they will be placed in the below category.

Anyone who signs up and does not turn in their gift by the deadline will be publicly shamed and banned from any future Secret Santa that I host pending a public apology deemed acceptable by me. You will also forfeit your gift and the giver will have a chance to modify it for the new recipient, as I'm sure we will have people that want in and miss the deadline.

It is encouraged that you take the time given between gifting assignments and turn in deadline to familiarize yourself with the player you are gifting to in order to create a personalized gift if possible. These are the most impactful. It is encouraged that you remain anonymous, though not required. Feel free to include a personalized note and be as creative as you want. Items such as pets, housing, placed boats, or anything you can think of are accepted. Have fun with it.

I am taking volunteers to help fill in for anyone who does not turn in their gift on time.

Signups must include your discord name if it is different from your forum name or they will be disregarded. Exceptions to this may be made if deemed necessary.

To drop off your gifts AFTER YOU HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED SOMEONE TO GIFT TO:

Please contact ME (Camdan#7120) in discord to arrange to pick up your gift.

You can either bring your gift to the Secret Santa Villa outside Trinsic (on Barrier Island to be precise) where you will meet with Father Christmas
OR
You can arrange pickup with me "a Helpful Elf" (preferably in the event center if possible)
I am Hopeful that we maybe able to have a gate to the villa this year and maybe a Banker or Guard in place to help with Security.

It is encouraged that you remain anonymous, although you can leave a personalized note. I will be verifying approximate value of the gifts only to make sure they reach the minimum for the tier. Please don't make me ask you to add to your gift. See the rules below. Please do your research on the person you are gifting to if possible. Something done exclusively for them makes the best gift.
