So, how does this work? This is how it's all going to happen, with a few changes made from last year.
As always, the Secret Santa gift giving will be anonymous. Seeing as I am hosting this little event, and I have the master list of gift givers, I will not be participating myself. Though don't be surprised if some of you get a random something-or-other from me as the month wears on.
Anyone who would like to participate must PM me on my mule Mister Resistor. Included in this PM should be a wishlist of five (5) items in the price range of 100k or below. Yeah, I've upped the price limit a bit this year. In regards to that, if anyone is having issues coming up with the gold for a gift, do not hesitate to talk to me. I have plenty of spare funds to help out if it is needed. In addition to listing five items, you may also include one (1) "special item" to the list, no price limit. If your Secret Santa is feeling super-duper generous, that'll give them another option for your gift. All participants must have their wishlists PM'd to me NO LATER than December 13th. If that is a problem for anyone, shoot me a PM and we can discuss it.
Last year, we had a claiming system, where people got to choose who they wanted. Well, I'm throwing that out the window this year in favor of a completely random drawing. Once I have the master list of everyone participating, I will draw names from a hat (or a cup, or a bowl, whatever I have with me). Afterward, I will PM everyone and let them know who I drew for them.
ALL GIFTS MUST BE DELIVERED BY DECEMBER 24TH (Christmas Eve). Once you have bought your gift, send it ANONYMOUSLY to your person via "gift item."

Wait, there are actually rules for this thing? Well, not really rules...just guidelines, and some main points from the previous section. Check back here, though, in case I add or change anything. It's unlikely, but I may have forgotten to mention something or another.
1. SEND ALL PMS TO MISTER RESISTOR NO LATER THAN DECEMBER 13TH.. That is my mule account. This is to ensure that I receive everyone's PMs. However, you can PM me on this account, Chibi Pierceye, if you have any questions.
2. In the event that something comes up and you find yourself unable to participate in Secret Santa, and you've already had your name drawn and such, please let me know. I will purchase and send a gift to your person in your stead.
3. The price limit only serves as a guideline. You may buy your claimed person a more expensive gift if you want (say, if you find something on their profile wishlist that you want to buy for them). The price limit is only there in case some people have troubles coming up with 100k.
4.DO NOT OPEN YOUR PRESENTS UNTIL CHRISTMAS DAY.
5. PleasepleasePLEASE do not hesitate to talk to me about any questions or concerns. I promise I won't bite.
