    @Gabriel_Pitt yesterday your gift was delivered into the care of the Japanese postal service and should now be fighting it's way through the warp to you.
    It takes about a week for stuff to get from here to the UK, so hopefully it'll be similar to the states.

    If it went Para Avon, then yeah, it usually took about 4-14 days.

    Hey CF,

    I haven't been around for awhile, and I am sorry for that. Im posting to let you all know that I am one of the Santas that has not yet had their Santee receive a gift. Given my history of Santas, and the amazing generosity that this board has shown to m, this is something that pains me to no end. I put off getting something together as quickly as I normally do because of a Santee specific challenge this year. I spent some extra time trying to make sure what I got for that person was as good as I could make it. Unfortunately, while pondering, researching, and getting recommendations from other forumers, I got overwhelmed with work (GameStop store manager at christmas :( ), real life obligations (Ayana and I committing to and planning a last minute wedding for the end of January), and a death in the family. As real as these distractions were, I allowed them to push the CF SS from my mind, and I apologize to my Santee and to the forum as a whole. They are not valid excuses, but I intend to do all I can to make this right.

    First, I have sent my Santee a PM (and he has actually responded while I am yping this). He is aware of the situation, and that he is going to have at least two packages on the way to him (first today, second likely tomorrow or Thursday).

    Second, for the next SS event, I will not participate in receiving a gift. I will, however, randomly draw at least one name (depending on finances at the time) from a hat of my own. Hopefully, CF Santa will work with me to get that persons contact information, so that I may send them extra presents to atone for my sins this go around.

    Again, I apologize to my Santee, but also to the CF Secret Santa participants, for being a late Santa this year.

    <3 you all,
    Joe

    I don't know who you are (forum name), Steve, but your present was pretty damn awesome. I grew up moving from place to place and often I only had my legos to keep me company. Your present of Lego Heroica Fortaan and Nathuz was a great surprise. My friends are coming over Saturday night to build the game and try playing it! I'll post some pics of it when complete. It'll be fun to see a group of 30 yr olds building these! :)

    tl;dr Thank you, Steve for a great present. I will definitely enjoy this in my collection!

    I got my package yesterday (sorry for the delay!).

    It contained exactly what I wanted! I got the Cutthroat Caverns game! Thanks SS! I know it's an obscure game but I've wanted it for 2 years and just keep forgetting to order it. I play it at PAX every year so this is gonna be fun.

    THANKS!

    Well my attempt to fully assemble and photograph my presents before posting has been thoroughly foiled by the complexity of Reverend superior Cassandra Kusanagi. Also in the same package came Bran do Castro, Triple Zero and Mordikaar the Void Seer.

    I suspect that Gabriel_Pitt is my Santa, but whoever it is, thank you very much!

  • CF SANTACF SANTA Registered User regular
    Good evening all. I'm pleased to see that things have gone mostly well, though at the moment I know of one person who has not received anything yet. If anyone else has not received a present please PM me urgently. Thank you.

    You are correct, sir! There's also one more part to it that maelstrom hasn't sent yet, so who knows when you'l get it. :P

    Oooh! I love surprises! Thanks Gabriel!

    I got the package a little while ago,but was trying to be sneaky. Sadly Major Reverend Kusanagi has thorough foiled me.

    What are your legs doing crazy woman! I don't understand!

    We're having a ceremony with 6 guests.. my parents and brother. Her parents and sister. We only stopped from eloping because I would have been guilted for life by my mother.

    Man, if we had a big ceremony, I'd need Altmann as my best man, and then like, Scurvy, Spherick, SJ, Tim, Law, Day, and 10 other guys from the 40k thread to be my Groomsmen (I like Honor Guard better :P)

    I built them as Crypteks but kept them generic enough to run as whatever you fancy.

    Still waiting to hear if the gift arrived or not. I have a feeling should I do this again, I'll research time/space technology so I don't have to use the local post office station here at the university. Or I'll go into town. After this season, i wouldn't trust these guys with a bag of peanuts.

    I hope @Nax's care package he sent to my overseas address gets here soon. I'm about to start packing to head home! Still waiting on the wife to get me pics of the game he sent to the house. So, Thanks @Nax!

    Oh! Whoa! That's so much better! Peeeeerfect. I calling my store right now to stop them from letting UPS pick it up. It will be so much better suited going to your US address if you will be back with your wife soon :)
