Topic: Secret Santa Info Thread

[that Baby guy]

Ok, so here's the deal for me:  The only day in a long time I'll be able to send a VC game is tomorrow, and I'll only be able to get the info from here in the morning, at best, about nine hours from the time of this post.  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.

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

[Stogi]

I added everyone except for Ceric.


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

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

[that Baby guy]

Well, I always forget to put it up.  That's about it.  I can post it tomorrow, but I'll likely forget to write it down.  You never know!  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.

[Kairon]

Well, when two weeks pass by send me your friend code anyways. I'm only 11 pages into my 20 page address book. I still got space!

[Ceric]

Here is my friend code: 0587-7350-4883-0584 (I had to dig through the forums for it)
I'll have everyone added by about 8pm Central

[Strell]

I wanted to say that I have the following NWR members in my Address Book, who should all be active and correct barring anyone who possibly had to replace/sold their system:

Smash_Brother
Caliban
Vudu
Rhoq
Capamerica
Bill Aurion
Shecky
nitsu niflheim
PartyBear
decoyman
Pale
NeoThunder
Brandogg
UncleBob
Prof666
Zach
IceCold
MarioAllStar

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).

I agree with Kairon. You should post up your friends account anyways.

[Kairon]

Oh yeh, I'll be out all of Saturday. ALL OF IT, starting at 3am. Sorta unavoidable. Funeral. I'll be back midnight in time for Sunday though, I'll try to send out my gift friday night if I can, if not expect my gift by sunday.

[Darkheart]

Ok I added everyone here on the front page, I am heading home today but since this is all being done on the roomies wii I wont be able to bring it with me.  I added points to his account so that when this thing goes down it will just be a matter of telling him which game to get and who to send it to.

Some of you people are still gray but I will just assume it takes awhile to register people sometimes.

[Stogi]

So I added everyone except thatguy.

Strell, Spak, and vudu are still grayed out. I assume they haven't added me yet.

GET TO IT!

[Spak-Spang]

[GoldenPhoenix]

Haven't received mine, but I did send mine out. I really love this gift giving feature.

Very glad that you liked it so much!

Since everyone's been saying who their Secret Santa was, I wanna thank blacknmild for the AWESOME present he sent.

THANKS!

[GoldenPhoenix]

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

[IceCold]

Hey guys.. small problem here. I get an error when I try to send my gift. Also, my SS contacted me because he's apparently having the same problem sending it to me.

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?

[IceCold]

Well, if worse comes to worst, we could defer my Secret Santa to my recipient. That would sort it out. I hope it doesn't come to that though.
