Ulysses Posted December 16, 2010 Author Share Posted December 16, 2010 Next steps Everyone is about to get TWO PMs from me. The first one is a general instruction to all players - please read it but don't reply to it, because it's a SECRET Santa game. The second is a specific instruction for each player. Please read it and reply to me ASAP. I need replies by Friday night (midnight should do). Otherwise I might have to throw you out of the game, and that would not be cool. While you're all waiting to see what happens next, here's a little musical interlude: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NA90IlymdZ4 Ho Ho, and again Ho. :santa1: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe.gausden Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Once everyone has got their present you guess who got yours for you. You can also guess who got for other people. Last man (or woman) standing wins the prize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portobellojambo1 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Uly, did you send the two PM's you mention slightly further up the thread. I got one PM from you, but from the way you worded your last post it sounded as if there might be some info intended for the players which remains outstanding.

portobellojambo1 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Now if I remember rightly, from last year, what I do now is pick something for the person I've drawn and send a photo of it to uly, is that right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 Can someone post a brief explanation of how this works please? Cheers. You get a PM telling you who you've to get a Secret Santa pressie for. You find a picture of the pressie on the web and send me (and only me) the link by PM. Everyone sees what pressies were got for whom, and y'all have to guess who were the Secret Santas. The last Secret Santa to be outed wins the main prize, and there's a consolation prize drawn from among those who outed other people as Secret Santas.

Ulysses Posted December 19, 2010 Author Share Posted December 19, 2010 Sorry for the delay. Four players didn't deliver their pressies and a fifth had to withdraw from the game. That meant I had a problem with 10 pressies that I had to sort out. All sorted now. I'm working on the slideshow and some clues, and I'll post those as soon as possible. In the meantime, here's the list of the 59 players.

Ulysses Posted December 19, 2010 Author Share Posted December 19, 2010 Rules (such as they are) The main object of the game is to avoid being detected as a Secret Santa. The last Secret Santa to be outed wins a Hearts store voucher worth ?40. A consolation prize of a Hearts store voucher worth ?25 will be drawn at the end from among the players who successfully detect Secret Santas. That prize can't be won by the player who wins the ?40 prize. You get one entry in the ?25 draw for every Secret Santa you discover. You are not confined to guessing who got your present, but if you discover the Secret Santa who got your pressie, you get three tickets in the ?25 draw. Only players can make Secret Santa guesses. Guesses from other members will be ignored. You can only make one guess at a time, and you have to wait to find out if it's correct before you make your next guess. Video slideshow next, then some clues (well, sort of). Ho Ho, and again Ho. :santa1: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
