k, I registered you

[Strell]

Ah ha, so this IS going on here.  I can't keep up between all the threads about it, and noticed I had PMs today.  We just wrapped it up at CAG and it was a huge success.  I believe within 48 hours, all 44 participants had sent and received their games.  

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.

[NWR_insanolord]

Strell, the code in your post gives an error message that says "This Wii Number is incorrect" when it's entered.

[Kairon]

Yeah... that code doesn't work Strell...

[Kairon]

I got evryone added except... some people are still grey, and I don't have the people who don't friend codes posted here.... hmm...

[Crimm]

Fixed the strell code.
I have no idea where it came from, but it got there somehow.

Also: LAST UPDATE STRELL

[Kairon]

That Strell code still don't work for me...

[Strell]

Crap, I'm sorry, the last four are 9370, not 9307.  I have fixed my post to reflect this.

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?

[NWR_pap64]

I just wanted to state that for some reason Kashogi, spak-spang and strell have yet to add me. Their names are still in gray even though I registered them on Sunday.

So this is a heads up to them.

I've kind of already mentioned something about this:

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.

Hey guys sorry about the delay.

NOTES

- I don't have a Classic Controller, so I have been staying away from SNES games. But if you have a particular one that you really like, please send it over. I was going to buy one soon anyway.

- Please don't get me the original TMNT - I'm holding out for Manhattan Project


Otherwise, just use your common sense and knowledge of my tastes through my forum posts. I don't want to list games that I want - it's no fun that way! Hopefully the game is a pleasant surprise

I have added:

Kashogi
insanolord
darkheart
DaaMan64
GeneralTraag (I had added you a while back, not sure why it didn't work the first time)


Please add me back.

I already have Strell, but I'll check if it's the same number.

Also, I'm waiting on thatguy.  

[DAaaMan64]

Okay I should be up to date and ready. I am still waiting on spak-spang, vudu, and strell.  They are my only grays left.  I have double checked all their codes. So it should be completely registered soon.  Thanks.

[GeneralTraag]

Okay IceCold, your name is no longer in gray now.  I am still waiting on GoldenPhoenix, Ceric, vudu, EasyCure, Strell, and darkheart.

[NWR_insanolord]

Vudu, spak-spang, and darkheart are still gray for me (and Strell, but I know why he is).

[NWR_pap64]

So, when are we kicking things up?

[NeoThunder]

when will PM's go out, tonight or in the morning?

[NWR_pap64]

I should have mentioned earlier that I didn't mean to be rude just wondering if the time and date is still the same or was changed.

Also, I think we should post the names of the people who still appear gray on our friends lists. That way, when its time to pair up the participants we don't get stuck with gray members because they can't or forgot to add the user to their friends list.

[Kairon]

My code again: 3049 9700 0647 8791

Grey:
darkheart
Icecold
Strell
Spak-Spang

Missing:
thatguy
Ceric

[IceCold]

Wait, what? I added you years ago, Kairon!

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?
