Secret Satans 2010 - Send/Receive gifts! Read OP for new rules. NSF 56k, deadbeats

neville

Satans sent, matches made... now we wait.... FOR SATAN CLAUS (or something).


(Mully continues the tradition of making awesome art for this, so thanks a million mully. !)


This is our second thread. If you're here for the signups, you're too late. Now watch and sob as other people trade gifts and you are forgotten... or, you know, wait for next year.
If you haven't made a post for things you like and/or made a wishlist... GET TO IT.

In the meantime, enjoy a picture of one of my adorable hedgehogs, who is judging you.



Rules:

1. There is no minimum spending amount and no maximum spending amount. Just because you spend $500 on your person, doesn't mean you'll get the same amount spent on you. And some people make handmade shit because they're poor, talented, or some combination.

2. International people are allowed. If you have some super big problem with it, let me know in your sign up email, but I cannot 100% guarantee you will not get someone in Australia, New Zealand, or lesser Uranus. IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE THIS POSSIBILITY, DO NOT SIGN UP. Note: Canada is NOT considered "international."

3. If nobody knows who you are, you probably will not be allowed to sign up. This is to cut down on the number of deadbeat Satans. If you have less than 500 posts and nobody else knows you, YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED (Exceptions are known significant others of folks, etc)

4. People who do not send gifts will be banned. Seriously. Not you "might" get banned, you 100% WILL get banned. Tube is tired of people whining about not getting shit, so if you sign up, you better fucking send something. Excuses are not accepted. I don't care if you are deployed to Afghanistan, lose your job, or are in love with Jesus; IF YOU SIGN UP AND DON'T SEND YOU WILL BE BANNED. The deadline to receive gifts is JANUARY 30, 2010. If you send something late and it may not make it, get a tracking number. If you don't, nobody will show mercy. The gays are a cold, ruthless bunch and I will no doubt mock you as I destroy the sanctity of your marriage. Or, more likely, you will be forgotten.

5. DO NOT BITCH ABOUT WHAT YOU GOT. CONVERSELY, TRY TO SEND PEOPLE THINGS YOU THINK THEY WILL LIKE BASED ON WHAT THEY POST.

6. Do NOT send NSFW gifts unless they specifically OK it in the info sent to you when you get your person.


How Do I Sign Up, Boss?
Send an email to mailto:secretsatantwo@gmail.com.

Name: Neville Longbottom.
Address: 123 Example Street
Apt KY-69
Pensacola, New Barbswick 010101

IF YOUR EMAIL DOES NOT HAVE YOUR FORUM USERNAME AS THE SUBJECT, I WILL THROW IT AWAY, AND I WILL NOT TELL YOU I HAVE DONE SO. IF YOUR NAME DOES NOT APPEAR ON THIS SIGN-UP LIST, ASSUME YOU HAVE FUCKED UP SOMEWHERE.

NEW as of Nov 22 - RULES d'ETIQUITTE
(Since apparently we need them, you goddamn jerkpiles):

1. THOU SHALT POST THANK YOUS (with or without photos) WHEN YOU GET YOUR GIFT(S).
THIS IS REQUIRED. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL INVALIDATE YOU FROM SIGNING UP NEXT YEAR.

2. THOU SHALT GET TRACKING ON THY PACKAGES.
If you don't and your gift "Gets lost" and you get banned, tough shit. Spend the extra $2 for tracking / delivery confirmation.

3. THOU SHALT MAKE A WISHLIST AND/OR "HERE ARE SOME THINGS I LIKE" POST.
This year it is HIGHLY suggested (I.e. Just do it); next year it will be a pre-requisite to signing up.


And fyi, this is also done to help keep WaM and my inboxes from being flooded. If you don't like any of the 3 rules: I. DON'T. CARE.
Do them anyway. This will keep us from bitching at you. And between a woman and a bitter gay who are running this, we can bitch a lot, so just help us out.
THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Goatmon

I really want a Hedgehog. But they're illegal in California.

Caulk Bite 6

My friend has a hedgehog, it is very grumpy and cute.

#pipe

it seems like a big list this year

sarukun

My favorite part about this holiday event is that there is no Max on spending.


LET'S SAVE THE GODDAMN ECONOMY, MOTHERFUCKERS.

Kochikens

Someone said Transmet in the last thread. Yeah. Get that. It is my favourite comic book.

Same here.

I seem to remember there being a way you can get a special license or something which will allow you to have one as a pet, but I may be thinking of something else entirely.

Barcardi

Arnt hedgehogs on the way to being endangered or something like that? They are not yet, but soonish?

Pharezon

To my Satan:

My wishlist has a lot of non-fiction books as you can see (Military history, current events, politics, countries, conflicts). Currently on an Afghanistan/Chechnya/Ireland/Iraq/Lebanon kick in terms of conflict reading. I don't mind fiction books at all! Sci-fi, Mystery/Detective novels are cool and beyond that any other types of fiction you'd think I'd like! (Awesome cook books are also welcome)

I love movies and do own a bluray player if that means anything to you. Documentaries, Dramas, Foreign films, Thrillers, Action, Black Comedies, Animated films like The Secret of Kells, Waltz with Bashir (own this), or Persepolis.

I own a PC, 360, and DS. Mainly play 360 and PC. Also own a zune.

You can contact George Fornby Grill (Crawford), MrMonroe, and Pipthefair for more ideas! Posters of movies/photographic prints are also awesome (contact proxies to ask)

Hope I don't give you too much trouble in picking out gifts, cheers.

Fiz

Posting in this thread in case my person wants to find one of my posts that will lead them to my ideas post and my wishlist.

All of you should use my wishlist.

BYToady

I am a blank slate upon which you can give things that you would enjoy.

Wombat!!

Nah people should use my wishlist, fiz.

Wait, I used yours, and ended up adding a mask...

Indie Winter

sweet

oh hey I guess I should also make a wishlist or something

Dear Satan:

everyting's cool, really

Not in California, no.

T Bacardi Nope.

Tonkka

Okay, I think I updated my sig, with a link to my ideas post.

EDIT: SHIT.

EDIT EDIT: Okay that's better.

Fiz

I already have a mask I got in Venice in my room, but I kind of like the long nose ones too. And I'm not going back to Venice again unless I win the lotto.

If my person wants to get me a bunch of winning lotto tickets that'd be cool

Wombat whenever i see that hat on your wishlist I think of this

Oh yeah, Waltz with Bashir is quite awesome.

I am 100% ok with that. That video, band, song; all if it is an amazing piece of work.

Dang.

On the plus side thanks for convincing me to write amazon support. I now have a free year of amazon prime.

The Geek

Dear Satan,

I have updated my Amazon list. I have a few practical items on there in addition to all the fun stuff. I know it goes without saying since it's the spirit of this whole thing, but please don't feel at all like you have to buy something. Personalized homemade things, or second-hand stuff is all awesome too.

I generally wear a L in t-shirts, unless they run small. I enjoy cartoons of a wide variety and I like to cook.

For gaming systems, I have NES, SNES, N64, GC, Wii, GBA, DS, PS1/2/3, Xbox 360, Genesis, and Dreamcast.

Please feel free to use a proxy to ask me anything else you'd like to know.

yeah this isn't

this kind of thing isn't really good enough

at least give your shirt size and what consoles you own

Indie Winter

I think I'm gonna go downtown this weekend and see what I can find for my Satan. I'm pretty sure most of the stuff won't be a problem, but I'd rather not waste any time

#pipe

Oh hey Neville the Last Starfighter!

that was one of my favourite flicks as a kid

have you seen it recently?

it umm

it doesn't really hold up that well

Henroid

Hey in case my Secret Satan is around - might be a bad idea to send me something planned to arrive the week of Christmas; I just found out I'm going out of town. Apparently.

Then again, coming back from the airport to a box of possible spoiled goods would be hilarious to me in some way.

Do what I'm going to do. I'm just going to buy stuff from Fiz's wishlist and tell them that if they don't like any of it they can probably exchange it with Fiz for a blowjob.

Yeah, California has strict rules about any sort of pets that falls under the "Exotic" category.

It's rather frustrating.

Tonkka

Oh yeah, if my satan is thinking about bicycle stuff, my ride can be viewed here. 56cm stand-over frame. I already have fenders.

That's definitely one way to describe it. Another is soul crushing.

Hmm, nope I haven't.

The_Rat

I heard through the grape vine that my satan needs a little more help, so I'll give it another shot.

My general things, to reiterate: some kind of weird cheap musical instrument: melodica, toy piano, etc.

I guess I'll get specific for this pass:

A copy of The Portable Atheist by Christopher Hitchens.
A record player.
Some kind of simple tracking or looping device with an input for guitars, but I don't really know how expensive these are.
One of those Iron Gym pull up bars.
An electric guitar capo.

And still, anything clever is acceptable. I'm a graphic designer by trade, living in Seattle, so stuff relevant to that is cool, too. If you can find any cool books about typography or motion graphics, hit me.
