Welcome to Pesty's.


Pesty Elf's Christmas BG Giveaway Extravaganza, was founded in 2011.

What we do: We're a seasonal donation and giveaway thread, opening in September for chatting, games, and donations only. From November to January, we take wish lists of fellow Gaians and send out presents. (YAY, PRESENTS!!)

Please see the rules for when wish lists open and wish list terms.


This giveaway is a group effort. Not just the elves behind the thread,
but also the generous people who donate to the cause and
the ones who keep returning to the thread year after year!

PAY IT FORWARD!



A brief thread history.....

RULEZ

1.OBEY TOS

2. If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

3. Wishlists may be posted beginning NOV 1st.
They will be fulfilled til Jan 1st.

WE HAVE TWO OPTIONS FOR WISHLISTS. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.

Option A, the traditional wishlist:
- Post your wishlist of 5 (five) items.
- Keep the spending limit under 2 trillion gold / 200K platinum for 4 of them. The 5th item can be "the sky's the limit."
- You WILL get a gift from your list. We just can't promise which one.
- DON'T ASK FOR JUST ONE EXPENSIVE ITEM. Wishlists are FIVE items as described above.

Option B, surprise me:
- Through the generosity of our donors and some magical elven sleight of hand, the elves have ended up with quite a lot of very nice items. So instead of posting a specific wishlist in this thread, you can post "Surprise Me".
- You WILL get a gift. It WILL be a nice gift. It won't be something like a Dirty Newspaper Combover (if you really want one of those, choose with Option A).
- If you choose this option, it would help if your profile was public and you had a wishlist on it. No guarantees, though.

Once you have chosen Option A or Option B, YOU CANNOT CHANGE YOUR MIND. No editing of wish lists once the elves gather the lists for the day. We elves are old and confuse easily.

4. While Pesty doesn't mind a mule account posting a wishlist also, don't let the elves see the same screen name more than once.

5. No Questing / Quest Post. Keep that to your signature.

6.It is suggested that you READ THIS WHOLE PAGE,
because breaking rules can get you placed on the Naughty List.
Naughty List = No Gift

If possible, put those gifts under the tree, and wait til Christmas Day to open them. 4laugh

███ Name: Pesty

███ Pesty, one of Santa's elves in a supervisory position, responsible for a team of two. It's a full time job handling the misfit elves atop of getting presents made, inventoried and sent out. Somehow she manages though. It's never a dull day with her team, though, a dull day might be welcomed when trying to pull Horace from the bar. Or trying to stop Nidorous from putting questionable objects, people and pets in his mouth.

She believes in hard work and perseverance, with an excessive amount of coffee to help her get through the day. To say she is hard working would be an understatement, but in order to reach her ultimate goal of 'Best of Santa's division', hard work and maintaining her crew are all a part of that task.


Likes: Giving Gifts, Paying it forward, Animals, Any coffee-based beverage and Greek yogurt.

███ Name: Nidorous

███ Nidorous, a former elf employed by Santa who met with an untimely demise when Santa was gifted a new MP3 player for the holidays and failed to assist the elf in distress.

The distressed elf was lounging on the pile of toys in the back and when Santa took off, the elf was blown off the back of the sleigh after shouting many unpleasant words in the man's general direction and clinging for life.

Ended up crashing through a barn roof and was planted in a heaping soft warm pile, that belonged to the rather large cow that was spooked by his entrance and was promptly trampled.

After being buried later near some nuclear waste, the elf is back in business, only this time out for revenge on the 'Fat Man', working under Pesty's direction. ( More or less. )




Facts: Will eat nearly anything that catches his eye. Has a tendency to lick, chew and drool on things. Small animals, children and even fellow elves have all suffered either minor or grievous injuries in various incidents due to new compulsions. Your drink is not safe around this elf.

The maggots in his brain help keep it functioning to some degree, though is constantly attempting to pick them out and flick them at people.

Has a loathing of toy trains, dolls, doll houses and reindeer.

The only known distractions seem to be offerings of cheesecake and eggnog.

Warning: Do not engage if happened upon. Back away slowly and quietly. Should you be face to face with the creature, the best course of action is to sacrifice a small child if there is no cheesecake or eggnog present.

███ Name: Horace

███ What makes Horace tick is beer. He's that guy who's always at the end of the bar, always with a beer in front of him, always somewhat relaxed, but never falling down drunk. That would be disrespectful to the beer.

He's fundamentally lazy, but when the time comes for the rubber to meet the road, he's there. He'll be back in the bar again as soon as possible afterwards, but he does what he has to do.

He's just not convinced he has to do as much as everyone else thinks he does.



Likes: Beer.

Dislikes: Work. Not enough beer.

Wish list "Dear Elves" contest.

In 2k11 we had a few Gaians write us letters. We loved it. Thanks to them, we're now a narcissistic letter reading bunch of elves.

How do you do this? SIMPLE!

Write a letter to us ELVES. Tell us how cute we are, tell us how good you think you've been, tell us something you did, tell us something you want to do in the new years, heck, tattle on yourself and tell us you've been the worst person ever this year! Us elves are not harsh critics. We just like reading letters to US ( Not the fatman! )

What's in it for you? Those that write letters will be sent a special something for their time to write to us and amuse us during this long present slinging season.

Need a kick in the butt to get you started?










View some past letters here! By no means are these all of them or are they all the best of them:

for being here this season!

We're always happy when we see familiar faces year after year. And, it's really wonderful when we have so many new faces join us, as we did this season.
We did have some empty chairs this year and they were greatly missed.

We thank you for our gifts and we can only hope the elves made your day a little brighter.
We thank our Honorary Elves for their generosity! We were able to fill 120 wish lists,
plus run extra games!
As always, it's been fun!
