Correction:

I'm extremely sorry, I added the 3-8 posting after making the actual post, so Orna should be #9-14 then # 15. We should be up to 15 by now. sweatdrop


I also have a question: What's the difference between decoys and real boo gifts?

I'm so extreamly confused. v_V;
I just can't understand how this is supposed to work. It might be because i'm just so tired from work, but I just don't know.
If someone could even pm me or talk to me on msn about it.
One on One i'd appreciate it.

Yahoo fh_kurumi@yahoo.co.uk
Msn Sassy_Bam_Ber@hotmail.com

I'd prefer people adding me on msn.

The whole idea behind this is gifting with tricks and treats, and receiving acknowledgement. The real boo gift comes with a letter acknowledging you, and a nice gift, doesn't have to be expensive, but something nice.

A decoy is the note you post on a Guild member's profile with the BOO and the "click the pumpkin graphic", It does not come with the letter, you don't have to send a gift, but you can because it's fun to give and receive, the decoy gift may be trash or treasure. If you send a gift you include a note saying it's a decoy. You can send a person a trash, and then a nice gift!

Each decoy letter you send is one chance, each gift you receive is one chance. You count em up and number your post accordingly. What the heck, each decoy gift you send is a chance too, because you're actively choosing and gifting someone.
smile But keep a list of the people you send to! (for later)

Basically the decoys are sent to active and non-active members, but the real boo gift only goes to active members. Until you get the REAL letter,
you put decoys on profiles, and you can send and receive decoy gifts, just for the halibut. (fun) And you get more chances for the big prize!

And it's fun to post something about yourself, and we'd all like to know something about you that you think we don't know, but that's optional.

I recieved both of my gifts I believe.
I got a boquet of flowers, then a pretty Shirt/Dress thinger.

Erm...Something about me?
Well I just bought a new set of dice (D - 20) style.
I love to play D&D. ^_^

(Did I do this correctly?)

Hey there!

I've got a special gift for you!

From: An anonymous benefactor
Message: Boo! This is not the official, Ministry approved Boo gift letter...you've been tricked with a Decoy gift! But open it anyway, it might be trash or it might be nice...at least it's free! Remember to post you've received a decoy gift in the Boo thread to win another chance at the Gwee or Spree!

Why don't you head over to your inventory and see what you got!


That means I have received two decoy gifts. First item was pearl earings ( Whoever sent them, I thank you. They've been on my wish list for some time now) and a Blue Magic Hat. Thank you, anonymous peeps. whee

Decoys sent fallowing post: 5

About me: Other than being a D&D/Harry potter fanatic, I really like mythical things (ie fairys, dragons, magic...). I'm also very fond of the color green.

Garnet, I LOVE the color green and fairies and magic and dragons too! Check out the profile of my friend Lightkin for all of the above except the green; she's a pink, white and gold lover. I actually made the Hermione signature below to tempt her to join the Guild, she keeps saying she's too busy (which is true)!

You guys have the hang of the numbering and how to play now. I still went back and re-wrote some of the first post; hopefully it's easier to follow now. SuperKoolPartyGal101 is showing horses this weekend and I'm not going to be available much this weekend to answer questions
(I'll do what I can) but hopefully it's now clear.
