    Official Secret Santa Thread 2010

    CigarSmokers Secret Santa 2010!


    The Grim Reaper is running SS10!

    You will be sending your address AND email to me via Private Message. Label your PM "Secret Santa 2010." I will send you the name and address of your Secret Santa recipient after all participants have entered. The Secret Santa user account is for everyone to access once we get going to ask questions of their recipient or to taunt their recipient to keep us anonymous. The password will be given out through PMs to participants only. I will send out the password once Hex resets it to something new and PM’s me with it.

    RULES:

    You send a 4-stick bomb to your Secret Santa recipient. You will, in return, receive a 4 stick bomb from your Secret Santa. There is a minimum of 4 QUALITY cigars. Each cigar MUST be quality smoke. Use accepted internet sites for pricing rather than store pricing since they vary so widely and you won't end up sending way overpriced $2 sticks. Premiums are great to send, but no whining if you don't get a box full of $20 sticks in return.

    2. Extras are encouraged and make this what it CAN be. Extras cannot be urged enough. A PIF is a PIF, but a Secret Santa is entirely different. Everyone can make homemade fudge for $5 to send. Use your imagination. If you have no imagination, borrow someone else's.

    3. The cut off date for your recipient to receive their package is December 25, 2010. You can send at any point before that. This year people will receive their packages BEFORE Christmas. For people shipping internationally, be sure to leave lots of time for the package to arrive. 3 weeks is suggested in my experience with the postal system near Christmas time.

    4. If you fail to fulfill your obligation as a Secret Santa you will be outed, raw hamburger will be shoved down your shorts, and you will be tossed to the dogs on every forum we can find. Don't be a scumbag.

    5. I am the person running the Secret Santa this year, thus I will not be participating. Keep in mind, that I am not personally responsible for your Secret Santa turning out to be a scumbag if that should happen. I will offer up the information so the scumbag may be outed if it comes to that, but I will not be raked over the coals for something out of their control.

    Those are the ground rules for this year’s Secret Santa. The cutoff for sign ups will be Friday, November 12, 2010 at midnight Zulu, (Greenwich Mean Time). The random Secret Santa selections will be finished by at the latest Friday, November 19 at which point I will PM everybody involved the name and address of your Secret Santa Recipient.

    These are the rules borrowed from a few SS's. They seemed to work fine.

    If you are on the list, you don't need to post here. If you aren't on the list, feel free to express your interest in this thread.

    If you are not an established member here, please don't get offended when you are asked to not participate. Gain some rep, do some trades and there is always next year.

    Dates To Remember:

    October 18: Official SS10 signups begin. After signing up in the "Official Thread" you will then need to PM me your mailing address, even if you think I already have it, you must PM me your current mailing address.

    November 12: Secret Santa 2010 signups are closed.

    November 17: Cut off date to PM me your mailing address. I will not go out hunting down a mailing address in your profile, this is my confirmation of your most current mailing information and participation. Unfortunately, if I do not receive your mailing information by this date you will not be able to participate in this year’s Secret Santa.

    November 18-19: Name drawing. Names will be drawn and one person’s name and mailing address will be PM'd to you. You will be that person’s Secret Santa and that person will be your recipient. Once you have the name and address, please work in a timely manner to get your Secret Santa package in the mail. Please let’s don't leave anyone hanging.

    December 11: Final day for mailing out your Secret Santa package. DO NOT MISS THIS DATE

    11 Dec is slowly approaching! Get those packages out!!!

    Since a few Santa's haven't posted to their Secret recipients, I'm going to assume that they already know what they are getting for them. If you have sent your package out, please send me a PM stating you have so I can mark you off my REALLY NAUGHTY LIST! Since I can't check it on the board. =)

    You people again!

    Ahhhh. I see tomorrow's kickoff for all you punks. Can't believe any of you think I'm actually going to deliver anything besides a half eaten peanut butter sandwich and a flaming bag of reindeer poop.

    Well, the elves are on strike again, so I have to make everything myself.

    Best of luck to you, ladies.

    Got a job change coming into effect real soon, and not sure if it will interfere with this, so, I am backing out of this one.
