Secret Santa forum events?
« on: December 11, 2018, 08:48:48 pm »
Yet another little idea I had after doing Secret Santa in a Discord server I'm in. Why don't we have a Secret Santa event here on the forums?

How it would work, we would have people that want to participate by sending in wishlists on a designated thread for the event. After submissions are closed, the staff will set it up and assign a secret Santa to someone and vice versa, and then on Christmas, the gifts are given back out and presented to the community.

This is just a very very basic idea, and I'd love to hear more ideas from you guys! Also keep in mind, it's a tad too late to do this this year, but maybe it can be something that's worked on and presented next year as an event!

Interesting idea, I never saw something like this before.
Hmm I wonder what kind of gifts can be given to all the good floofs of the world xd

just use google forms and it'd be relatively simple to set up.

executing is another matter, depending on how many participants.

Neat idea!
However, one issue I can see happening with this is how reliable each user is. Giving a set date, would they meet it, etc?
I feel that they would, but I do fear for people missing out on a free present. ^^

I am so for this idea though.
I think it would be really cool. C:

In the server I'm in, we did have a couple of people drop out. We get a set date on when people can respond and if they don't, you give them to another person or that person gets another Santa vice versa, that way no matter what happens, someone has something.

another solution is ask people if they're willing to double-dip and do two or more gifts


in a borderlands gift exchange i partook in last year, they allowed people to drop out because they made sure they had enough to cover them.
quite a lot of people joined in, so if a small tumblr community can do it i'm sure feralheart can as well.
