[COMMENCE COMMUNICATION OF CARDS] Cryptic Card Exchange 2013: Classiness on a Budget!

RMS OceanicRMS Oceanic Registered User regular
edited December 2013 in Debate and/or Discourse
Welcome to the Inaugural Cryptic Card Exchange thread!

Have you been following the Secret Santa threads, but due to having $NotTexas, feel unable to contribute? Well here’s the budget option! At the core of this thread is the desire to reach to somebody across the state/country/continent/world and express a bit of Seasonal Cheer.

“What sort of card should I send?” Whatever you want! Funny, sincere, ironic, hipster, homemade, storebought: It’s the thought that counts, the intention to express classy and joyful feelings to your fellows!

So how do you sign up? !Sign Up, that’s how! And then PM me – make sure you distinguish Cryptic Cards from Secret Santa – With your Name and Address. You have until the 20th of November to sign up. I hope to assign Cardees and Santees at the same time. Unlike Secret Santa, signing up for this is an agreement to post to anywhere in the world. The same restrictions for who can join Secret Santa exist here, and I reserve the right to refuse admission.

Also keep in mind you can sign up for both Secret Santa and Cryptic Card. Double the fun! And you can send a card to your Santee if you want as well. We’re aiming for maximum classiness here. <3

    Hey, if we already sent you our info for that gift thing, do you still want us to spam your inbox with our addresses and shit?


    oh, err.... reading skills. Those are important in card exchange. I suppose it is a yes.

    If you've already given me your address and don't want to change that, it should be fine, just make sure I'm aware you're going for both.

    My problem has been trying to find a gender-neutral, non-familial, holiday-themed (but non-denominational) card for a stranger.

    Luckily I found one.

    Now the second part of writing a message.

    To whom it may concern

    Best wishes to you and any other people who may or may not live in the same place you do. I am hopeful that this winter season brings you happiness.

    Regards,
    Nocren

  • NocrenNocren Lt Futz, Back in Action North CarolinaRegistered User regular
    Just dropped my card in the mail. Even put a little PA logo in the lower left corner so I don't freak out the person receiving a random card from a complete stranger.

    Are you fucking kidding me, usps

    Did you seriously lose the greeting card I bought on the Internet before I even had a chance to mail it out

    What in the actual fuck

    Ugh. Plan B time I guess

  • NocrenNocren Lt Futz, Back in Action North CarolinaRegistered User regular
    That's a whole new level of "oops"

    Seriously
    December 1st: Arrived (postal center in my County, not far away)
    December 2nd: Sorting Facility (postal center several cities away, not a similar zip code)

    Annnnd radio silence after that

    It's reflective of the type of day I'm having in general

  • tapeslingertapeslinger Space Unicorn Slush Ranger Social Justice Rebel ScumRegistered User regular
    wooo, Christmas is not canceled, the card I had just about given up for lost arrived this very day in the post, along with, dun dun duuuun, a card from someone who might be a stranger on the internet!

    I shall open and report on this card in the morning. Well. Later on in the morning! seeing as it is past 2:30AM here, I'm still kind of drunk, and can't find my phone anywhere because it's at the bottom of my 40-lb shoulder bag and there's no way I'm gonna find it right now.

    *glee!*
