I missed out last year as I didn't check when the deadline to sign up was until it was too late. So I made a point to be way ahead of the game this year.

Furthermore, I'm pretty pleased that microshock is barred from this year's secret santa event, he seemed to suck the joy out of the event last year (I didn't even participate and I felt the pain)

This year I will not be able to resist Secret Santas. Count me in.

As long as I get stuff more expensive than what I give, then I'm in. Otherwise no.

I'm in. I can't wait!

I actually WOULD participate in this finally, but I have no idea where I'm going to be around Christmas.

Plus, I don't want to weird out anyone by getting random packages from the internet

It wouldn't be weird because they signed up expecting to receive a gift.

That's not who he's referring to.

Wow, you guys are starting early this year.
Yeah, I'm in. :)

I have seriously no money, so unless the people were alright with a really nice drawing or something, I can't participate this year. I'll barely be able to afford postage.

So far i counted:

10,000 Volt Ghost
The Leader
MarioRPG
Ex Leper
replicant
Mockery
Fathom Zero
Shadowdancer21b
Harry Lime
ChrisGlass
BatmanJohnson
dextire
captian516

I will totally accept a phat ass drawin'. Even digitally.

Give me 5 different subject matters, and I'll make you a wacom drawing on one of them <3

I would love to see your artistic take on this

Sorry, this offer is valid for Fathom Zero only at this time.

I understand

I am in, though I need to figure out what I can do that will be as zany as Xmas ransom note

Couldn't do that anyway really, since it's a requirement that people spend X amount of dollars. Of course, if people want to draw something for their secret santa in addition to the gifts they purchase, that's more than fine.

How about I just get a picture anyway?

Yo.

I was talking about a just anyway thing. Which is why that was a separate post. Fathom. 5 subject matters. PM.

List has been fixed. :)

There is the intrinsic value of an item that is made up of the cost of it's creation, and then there is the market value of an item which means it is worth whatever anyone can be tricked into paying for it.

I would put the value of a drawing of a sad, crying clown in an iron lung as quite high in monetary terms.



PS: MLE you should start the art competitions again. If not regularly, then at least sometimes. If you felt like it.

PPS: Why does nobody on this forum ever have any money?

and no junk please. unless the junk is in addition to something legit.

Well, I'm a student who doesn't get any more loans until January, so that's why I'm broke. I could probably still do it...but that'd be at least the cost of a case of beer.

I have some small junkie items (toys and stuff) saved up that will hopefully be worthy of helping the story that my recipient may tell. I'm excited to go hunting for items as well.
