Is mantidor in the same region as the rest of us?  Gift giving can't transcend regions.

For the point value, I say it's recommended that you stick with NES or TG-16 games (500 and 600 points, respectively).  If you want to give more, feel free, but don't expect to get anything more yourself.
Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

well i'd let the figter decide, some might want to give more than others so why limit them? The only fair thing is to give people the option of listing at least 1 NES game you want so that if the person that gets you in the secret santa has that option of spending less.

i'm cutting off the the participant list tomorrow. you have until 11:59pm Eastern time to join in our reindeer games.

we still dont have someone to lead this thing, i still would like to nominate Crimm since he's the Community Manager and most likely will be able to get online more often than i do to make this go smoothly. Crimm, if you'd rather not just say the word and maybe Kushrenada can do it (if you still want to Kush) if not i'll do it.

Even if a price is set people will still have to shell out 20 bucks or more for Wii points. I agree that people should give out whichever they want, as long as its a game the person wants or its not total crap. You can spend a 1000 Wii points on a game and turn out to be total crap.

Anyways, just wanted to confirm my participation. Since my 360 is dead I'll be going to Gamestop soon so I'll be picking up a card soon.

We should make a new thread for all the participants and have only the criteria written in each persons' post. Then, someone will have to come up with a lottery (someone not participating).

for the record it is posible to spend just 10 dollars buying Wii points in the shop channel.
The difference I was trying to focus on was the fact if you spend 10 or 20 dollars, it's not the whole 20 dollars that is spent on the other person.  if you just spent 5, that 15 dollars in your account to spend on VC games for yourself

Crimm, you now make a page with a deadline to have Wii friend codes listed in the thread, along with suggested games, genres, or tastes.  Whoever is randomizing the names participating needs to send out those names ASAP.  Once a person receives the name of the person they are to gift, they may gift.

So who was randomizing names?

Did we agree on a deadline?  Kush and I can do it.  One person should run the thread and the other should do the drawings.  That way it is double blind.

The person running the thread assigns numbers and the person doing the drawings draws randomly. We can split PM duity.  Kush and I are going to get the thread going ASAP.  Tomorrow most likely, since I need to hear back from him first on how we want to do this.

besides, I can't get my Wii online.  So I can't enter anyway.

sad...

i was thinking maybe next friday could be the gifting date? if we wait any longer than that, we run the risk of either:

A. not being able to send gifts out because xmas is right around the corner and there might be family matters to attend to.

B. just not have time to enjoy these gifts and post about how awesome they are (lol)

we need to agree on a date so that our host can get this thing rolling!

Edit2: the following people are participating (added friend codes for convenience)

*we're still not sure on darkheart's situation. He can send you a gift from his roomates wii, which means you'll have to add that code, BUT you cant send him a gift because it won't be on his wi.. Update us on this!

The three of of you with no friend codes next to your names, i obviously need to add you (and vice versa). Everyone else has already added me so thats super... except Strell and Spak-Spang

I think I have most of those, but I'm not at home & won't be able to add the rest of you till later tonite.
But I think Fri. 12/21 - Sun. 12/23 would make a good gifting time as everyone should be able to make some time between those 3 days and make it happen.

Well, I'll be honest, I'd prefer a "non" gifting date.  I'm leaving back home tomorrow and my parents have a Wii, but I can't really add friend codes to it.  I was planning on posting my FC today and sending the gift off tonight or tomorrow.
