I need to caution one thing up front like I did over at CAG - my Address Book is full. Completely 100% full. At CAG I needed a code to send to and a code to receive from, so I deleted two accounts from it and inserted "CAG Secret Santa 1 and 2" entries. Since it's most likely I'll have to do that here, just let me know before hand and I'll be sure to get the codes in as soon as I can. This means that if you've added me and I'm gray, chances are pretty high I'm not going to add you back. Sorry guys. If space opens up (i.e., some people at CAG sell their system or something and I no longer need their code), I'll try to add in NWR codes first. Nintendo needs to let me put 200 in.
Actually, damn, this reminds me. I will be out of town from Dec. 21 - Dec. 24, though I should be able to easily get in town on that Monday and send/receive as needed. I am taking my system with me, which means I might be able to do it at my vacation spot (gf's family 6 hours away), but I don't know the exact setup of their wireless network (pretty sure one exists). Although, when my system travels, I carry both the USB adapter and the LAN adapter, so it shouldn't be *too* much trouble for me to get everything set up. If this bothers anyone or disqualifies me, that is fine. I just don't want to get into a situation where someone is wondering when they will get their games. I believe Khush can vouch for me, given the Smash Bros bet we had.
Wii Name: Strell (system name is Wanginator)
Wii Friend Code: 6569 1652 7708 9370 (Crimm I'm not sure where that code you have for me came from, I assume it's a placeholder)
Wii Region in which you live: America (USA)
Types of games I like: Action/Adventure, Platformers, RPG
VC games I already have: (might have missed 1-2 games, I'll double-check a little later)
NES:
Ice Hockey
Kid Icarus
Kirby's Adventure
Legend of Zelda
Legend of Zelda II: Link's Adventure
Metroid
Super Mario Bros. 2: The Lost Levels
Super Mario Bros. 3
SNES:
Kirby's Dream Course
Legend of the Mystical Ninja
Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past
Super Metroid
N64:
Mario 64
Paper Mario
Sin and Punishment
Genesis:
Alien Soldier
Beyond Oasis
Landstalker
Wonder Boy in Monster World
Turbo Grafx 16:
Bonk's Adventure
Dragon's Curse
Galaga '90
Neutopia
Things to avoid:
Anything considered abysmal/low rated, which is the majority of games of the non-Nintendo consoles, barring a few exceptions (like, oh, Baseball Stars 2). I know there are some obscure SNES games that people say are really great that I've never tried. Most of the N64 games would be excellent as well. No real need for fighters, racers, shmups, or sports, barring (again) the ones that are really, really liked.
Crimm, if the above bothers you or anything, it's fine. Just let me know when you can so that if I need to go grab a points card, I can do so today or Thursday.
Looking forward to it if I'm included, of course!

So Crimm's Wii number is not accurate and we need to re-register you with this one eh? Hopefully everyone can catch that.

Also, wanted to add that I am still leaving tomorrow, BUT it isn't until 5 PM or later central time. I'll probably have packed up my system by 4 PM central, so if the exchange happens before then, I'll be completely clear.
Also, is there an agreed-upon limit we're looking at?

I can't add everyone. So whoever is heading this up, the less people I *need* to add, the better. I mean I can delete lots of names and add people specifically for this, but if I can keep it to a minimum, the better.
For the record, I *am* trying to trim my list. Most of it is people from CAG, and I'm trying to weed out people who may have sold their system so that I can free up some spots.

The problem is that it takes a while before the Wii establishes a connection between players so I thought its a good idea to let the people in charge of this event which names are still in gray.
Nothing sucks more than finding out that the person you are supposed to give the present to is still gray, and lord knows for how long.

The problem is that it takes a while before the Wii establishes a connection between players so I thought its a good idea to let the people in charge of this event which names are still in gray.
Nothing sucks more than finding out that the person you are supposed to give the present to is still gray, and lord knows for how long.
It shouldn't take more than 20 min after somebody regesters a console of the other person for it to register black lettering on both consoles. If the person you have to give a present to their name is grayed out....isn't that their fault?

Strange... try deleting my bit and adding me again?

However, I must say I agree with Spak. Galaga '90 is awesome.

Come on Ceric! Post your FC! I even PM'd you!

So I don't really know how we're organized, but I don't think I'll be able to participate, because I don't even have my friend code up, so I wouldn't be able to send a gift at that time. I think that means I'm out.

Man, sorry to hear that. Will you be able to get your friend code up later though? I'd still love to add you.

The following sent me PMs long, long ago, and I never marked them as read, so they still show up as new. These people are ones that I'm trying to add first:
Arthun Zala
Easycure
Rachtman
GeneralTraag
Crimm
This doesn't include the more active NWR members, particularly those in this thread that had added me (such as Kairon).
Of course, none of this is personal. Whenever someone added me at CAG, I did the same. Filled up really quick. Hell, there are real-life friends of mine who have systems that I haven't even added, and some of these are really close friends I've known for several years. I just really need a way to add more in there. Even another 20 spots would be helpful, but the more the merrier.
I'm still trying to weed out anyone from CAG who no longer needs to be in my list to free up spots.
I went and picked up a card yesterday for gift giving purposes, so I'm good on that end. Again, though, I am leaving today. I am taking my system with me, along with a USB adapter and the LAN adapter, so chances are good I can get online. If I cannot, then I could send late on the 24th, as I will be back in town on that day and will have hooked my system back in its proper home.
Whoever is ultimately running this, please contact me as needed, as I will have 'net access at the very least and will be happy to respond as needed. And if this disqualifies me or anything, that is just the breaks for me. But again, I'd like to think I'm pretty trustworthy in such regards.
Anyway, I hope I've made my case as best I can on all potential fronts and angles. Regardless of what happens, I know this thing will go down nicely. It went fantastically at CAG, with 100% success rate within 2-3 days of it starting, and really it was at 88% success rate within the first 12 hours (the remainder had notified the organizer that they'd be out of town and would report back when they returned). So I have faith it'll work here as well.
I'm off to pack, clean, and whatnot for my trip. I'll try to check back throughout the day and late, late tonight when I finally get where I'm heading (7 hour drive away, ugh).

The real issue is that I won't be around my Wii to send anything until about two weeks from now, not counting tomorrow. It's no big problem. Just means I'm Wii-ing at a different place.
I agree with Kairon. You should post up your friends account anyways.

Some of you people are still gray but I will just assume it takes awhile to register people sometimes.
Post by: Stogi on December 21, 2007, 08:15:42 AM
Strell, Spak, and vudu are still grayed out. I assume they haven't added me yet.
GET TO IT!

I think you should PM Crimm to send you Secret Santa a friendly reminder to send over your present.

It might be because of the country difference. I have no idea but I really wanted to send it
Hey Strell, did any Canadians take part in CAG's thing?

I know at some point, we had Canadians in it, and I want to say that we even found a way to accommodate that. But I'm not 100% sure.

Now you show up on my list. I deleted your information and then added it again, and now your name is not grayed out.

haha i was so drunk when i wrote that.. oh and no worries mate, im actually happier you got me starfox 64 over super metroid. Why? because i probably wouldnt of gotten SF64 myself where as Super Metroid is a game i know i just HAVE to play and its only a matter of time before i give it a download.
oh and the wiimail i sent you about changing the country in the wii settings.. i changed mine to canada after i sent that, then i went to do xmas stuff at my aunts, then came back to my house to party it up and noticed you change your settings to US so when i opened up the wii-shopping channel it says i couldnt recieve your gift! lol

I know I feel really bad, I sorta b*tched him out last night on the phone for not doing it when I asked so he felt guilty and drove an hour back to the apartment only to find the name in gray I feel bad :/.

Well change it back to US and check your Wii again.
BTW I sent you a thank you letter, should be on your Wii Message board.
For everyone that didn't know EasyCure sent me a second SS Gift of Kid Icarus (frustrating game).
So EasyCure I thank you for getting the only two things on my list wants. Now I just have to locate my Classic Controller so that I can try out S&P for the very first time. And before anyone says anything, no I don't own any wave birds, and I'm also sitting way to far away from the TV to use a GC controller. I paid for a CC and it is somewhere and I will find it someday.... soon hopefully
