And all threw the house, nothing stired...except for *Snuggle pounce*! So Sandy I have been tossing around different ideas for the Holidays. One is a secret Santa. You sign up on a list and then we pull names out of a hat for each person and you get a gift for the person you pick. The second is to have a chest in the guild house filled with assorted cwismas presents and everyone gets to pick out one or two. Depending on how much we drop. So please put in your two cents!!

We could do both. That way if people can't/don't sign up for secret santa they can still participate.

For Secret Santa, people say "I want to be in it". All the names are put into a 'hat' and each person draws out a name. I drew out Snuggles (example), so I now have to buy her a gift. IRL, it's like $10 limit or whatever the group decides to set onto the gift price. So, one SS (Secret Santa, please try to keep up ) method is to have, say, 20kk limit onto a gift. One problem I see with this is, that there's hardly anything 'useful' you could buy someone in Dofus.. The other SS version Snuggles and i were talking about was exactly as above, but rather than having kama-limit, we'll have something with a twist. We'd buy something that resembles us, for the person we picked out of hat. So Snuggles would give a Plush Osa (from Fair) as a gift. Expanding on method two, we could make it a secret who the gift is from. A 'moderator' like Snuggles or someone would give out the gifts to each person, then the gift receiver could try to guess who it's from. The chest idea basically is, gather a bunch of loot, and let each person pick out a few items that they need. Could be equipment, could be mats, whatever. Problems with this are: it's kinda like the guild chest we have now; the stuff is expensive; some people will be left with Piwi Rings while the first person took a Gelano (example). It's difficult, but we're just trying to make some sort of celebration. Most of all, it's about us being together as a mini Ni-family.

I love the idea and I think there is plenty of time to work out the details. If the chest idea was used, the items would need to be of similar value so that nobody got jammed with a piwi ring like Sandy said.
When I was in Iraq, we did it a gift exchange. Everyone got a gift and numbers were selected at random. First person took a gift and unwrapped it. Second person could take a gift from the table or take someone elses gift. If your gift was taken, you got to take another. Once a gift was traded two times, it was locked and could no longer be traded. For my turn, I took a carton of Malboro Lights which the Flight Surgeon took from me. He tossed em in the fire pit! I ended up with a Right Stuff DVD. I still have not watched it!

We could do a White Elephant kind of gift giving like Rosh suggested but that would require most of us being on at the same time. And I was thinking for the chest instead of knowing what your getting have it filled with cwismas presents that are wrapped, like you get from cwismas island. I would actually have more fun dropping pwesents if I knew I was giving them away.

Hah. But they all the same, no? Santa hat/cape + candy were the options last year i think.

No the presents that are dropped by the monsters on cwismas island, not the ones given by akanama.

Well, got me there... Christmas has always been about love and gifts so the SS and the love between guildies seems like fair enough to me D: . I'll try to do whatever I can, I can only hope I come up with something, if anything.

Sounds like we have enough support. We can lay out the details as the time gets closer. I will make an announcement post where people can sign up for the secret Santa/white elephant event as we get closer. Probably after thanksgiving, or on Thanksgiving since I work and it will be uber slow.
Oh and officers when we get to that point there are a lot of members who don't use the forum but would like to participate. So as the time draws near and we have a list mention it in game and if they want to participate put their name on the list for them.
