Alright, GVers, it's round about coming on the Giving Season, which means it's time to roll out the First Annual Graphic Violence Secret Spider-Mans!
It's easy and
it's motherfucking fun!
The way it works is so simple, even a child could do it (no children allowed).
1.) You have one week from today (so until Monday Nov. 13th) to announce your intentions of joining the Jolly Web-Slinger's quest. Do so by sending me an e-mail at
secretspidermans@yahoo.com
IN that e-mail, make the subject line your FORUM name, and in the body, you don't need to include anything more than a full name (some postal carriers won't deliver without one), and an address.
This information is TOTALLY confidential and ALL e-mails will be deleted following the close of the event, so if you're worried I'll sell you to the feds, DON'T BE!
Keep in mind that one forumer not of your choice will have access to your address and name, so if you're not comfy dumfy with that, don't bother signing up,
jeeze.
REMEMBER,
without the e-mail, you will not recieve anything, even from the REAL Santa!
NOW
There
are a few restrictions on this, to whit-
1. Nobody who joined after Halloween is eligible. This is to prevent folks from barging in and bilking the rest of us. SORRY IF THAT'S A PROBLEM but you'll just have to stick around until next year, then!
2. Because this is Graphic Violence, the theme for the gifts is SINGLE ISSUES. To keep some folks from breaking the bank, and some from getting juked out of a gift, the idea is that you send your Secret Spider-Man forumer a SINGLE COMIC BOOK ISSUE absolutely of YOUR CHOICE. Make it fun!
Thusly we come to 3. No Porno/inappropriate/YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN comics. Respect your Secret Spider-Man and they'll respect you.
4. Be SURE you can get your issue to the recipient BY JAN. 3 2007. That is the cutoff date and if you have not recieved your gift by then, let Servo or Manifest know and Steps will be Taken!
The steps that will be taken are as follows-
BANNED
That's right, 5. If you sign up and do not come through for your would-be friend, you will be banned! FAIR WARNING.
6. Keep your Secret Spider-Manee A SECRET until after they get the gift. A SEEEEECRET DAMMIT!
Finally-
7. In the spirit of the season, do not complain about who you get! If you end up with someone with whom you fight on the boards, look at it as an opportunity to make up and show a little decency! Put a little thought in your gift and maybe you'll make a new e-buddy! We're all just hangin out here!
If you think there's a chance you could get someone you couldn't stand, then either deal with it, or sadly, don't sign up.

I might do this
Wii: 5024 6786 2934 2806 | Steam/XBL: Arcibi | FFXI: Arcibi / Bahamut
But I have no idea what I'd give.
It'll probably be easier when you get your person.
It'd be the same thing with trades, too, though.
Or do extensive post research.
Im sending Shoe the entire clone saga if I get him or not.
SO TOTALLY IN
:?:
PSN: OrneryRooster
hear the song that we're singin
I already know which one I'm going to get for my Secret Friendly Neighborhood Web Crawler!
In.
- I'm in.
- Any non-inappropriate single issue is okay? For example, if someone wanted to get their Secret Spidey an uncommon back-issue or a variant cover worth more than the standard $3, it wouldn't be a problem? The only reason I ask is because the intent does seem focused on keeping people from 'breaking the bank'.
I have a feeling I already know the answer to the question, I'd just like some confirmation.
I imagine you can get them however expensive an issue you want. Just don't expect to get something out of the ordinary
I will sell my endangered tigers to get my Secret Spidey a copy of Action Comics #1. And I expect exactly the same kind of treatment in turn.
You arms won't be the only thing that gets tired!
SHAZAM!
I think a ground rule needs to be placed, however.
No Liefeld comics sent as a 'joke'. That ruins the holidays.

Oh man, I wish I still had those pointlessly shiny comics with the hologram cards on them.
HOT I'll resell it online and this secret spider-mans thing will end up MAKING ME MORE MONEY.
WOOOOO
I'll color it in first
that way you can sell it for more money
I might send my Spider-Man the most 90's comic I own.
Maybe.
There you go.
I'm a scrooge.

This one is potentially much easier on your wallet than the SE++ one.
