Well, I've done this before at work with my workmates, we call it the 'Invisible Friend'. So I thought of something interesting to liven this place up since the festivities are closing in :3
I'm aware that everybody must be real busy to undertake anything at this moment in time, but how about we all write/draw/compose something to another as an X-mas present? You'd have time for until the 25th and on that day we'd upload our gifts at some website like Sendspace or something, then we'll have ONE person post those links here with the corresponding names next to 'em. Every participant will get a Secret Santa this way!
So, uhm... I know this may sound weird at first and sort of complicated, but that's why I propose that I'll be the 'host' of this game, meaning I won't get a Secret Santa, but I'll sort the names and randomly hand out who'll get who for everybody!
Before the deadline, I'll also receive your gifts in a manner of the files you wanna transfer (Documents, Pictures, Music, etc) that you made and then on the 25th I'll post the links for everybody! Everybody gets a Secret Santa that way! :3
Pros about this:
+ We have 24 days to work on our gifts.
+ Everybody can join, the more the merrier, literally!
+ The gifts can be anything, a poem, a short-story, a hand-drawn picture, maybe a photograph of a thing you crafted yourself, really, the sky's the limit for your imagination! Just do your best and don't feel pressured, it's the thought that counts!
+ It'll be fun!
+ The suspense will be a sweet torture!
+ It'll make the community livelier, and make us all get closer to each other :3
Cons:
- Organization will take a few days.
- To make it a real fun event we need a LOT of players, and commitment.
- I'll probably need help since uploading files might pose slight problems at some point.
Heh, otherwise, I think this is a great opportunity for us all to do our own X-mas event. I would really appreciate it to no end if everyone joined. Please do!
Well... I really really hope this interests everybody. Sign here if you want to take part in DaD's Secret Santas! Invite every member you see online! Let's all have fun!
