Ho Ho Ho - 2007 MTTC Secret Santa
Since Summer no longer posts here very much, I figured I'd step up to run the MTTC Secret Santa thread. It was a good time last year, so let's do it again.
Pretty simple - to participate, PM me your full name and address. Do this by Dec 1, 2007. On Dec 1, I will randomly pair the participants and PM you the name / address of the individual for whom you are buying a gift. Please ensure that your gift is sent by Dec 15th, so that it's received by Dec 25th. We'll set a maximum value of the gift at $50 USD. (I'd use Canadian, but that'd be about $740 US these days...) Last year we had a rule that cash transfers on sites are NOT acceptable gifts... This is supposed to be fun, people - send something good to your 'elf'. (last year we had some crazy gifts going around - I believe the prosthetic leg was the winner...) We tried to get a private tourney going last year where we'd open the gifts while playing, but we couldn't nail down a time. If there's interest, we'll coordinate closer to Christmas... So... Who's in? OT |
Re: Ho Ho Ho - 2007 MTTC Secret Santa
As an aside, reading in ATF I see that all PMs will be lost in early December when the transition to the new software happens.
I'll be sure to re-PM people with their Elves after this happens to ensure you have the needed info... OT |
Re: Ho Ho Ho - 2007 MTTC Secret Santa
while i can't do this as i'm gonna be too busy/non-stationary, we should definitely make sure that all those that participate are active members of the MTTc. i don't say that to be exclusive or to be a jerk, but just like, we want to make sure there's no grimming, and, i mean, it's more fun to get paired up with someone that you know.
like they don't have to have been here for years, but they should just be kinda recognizable. |

[/ QUOTE ] I agree - I'm just not sure how to set the bar... Minimum posts? Regged date? If I don't recognize the name, a known person has to vouch for them? FYI - last year's thread. Sorry that I didn't make a collage, but Summer's crazy. I'm not... http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showfl...part=1&vc=1 |
Re: Ho Ho Ho - 2007 MTTC Secret Santa
OK - I've had a few people PM me to say that they'd be interested "if they make the cut". (or similar).
We'll make it easy. If you're interested, PM me your name and address. Then post in this thread saying that you're in. I'll regularly post the list of individuals for whom I've received addresses. If somebody OBJECTS to an individual - based on personal history, or that it's a new account, etc - we'll deal with it. So realistically speaking, if you're brand new to the forum and haven't participated in anything yet, don't sign up for this. But if you're an MTTC'er - and you know who you are - let's ho ho ho...

Re: Ho Ho Ho - 2007 MTTC Secret Santa
even recognizable *cough* waffle-crush *cough* members "forget" to send gifts sometimes!

Re: Ho Ho Ho - 2007 MTTC Secret Santa
yeah i mean like... i dunno, tons of regulars post in MTTc. its not just the guys who we all look to to learn stuff from, but the guys who are constantly in sweat threads lending support, the guys who are frequent posters in lsMTT, even guys who just 2p2 regs who also like to hang out in MTTc. i don't think it should be some rigorous "cut," i'm just saying that it shouldn't be any dude who happens upon the thread and says he's in.
definitely don't think there should be any reg date/post count thing, as those dont necessarily mean anything in terms of what a person has contributed. i really think that like 99% of the people that would be interested will be in. but there should be at least some "security at the door" to make sure no one gets disappointed in the end. |
Re: Ho Ho Ho - 2007 MTTC Secret Santa

Re: Ho Ho Ho - 2007 MTTC Secret Santa
I'd be in if I make the cut...I'd post more sweat threads but 2007 has been a tournament nightmare for me (if it wasn't for cash I think I may have quit poker this year) and the only FTs I seem to make are 180s.

lol Summer is sooooo psycho [/ QUOTE ] Story please. I always wondered what happened with/to her. And I'm in also. Will send PM. |
Re: Ho Ho Ho - 2007 MTTC Secret Santa
I'm skipping out of protest to the fact that whoever got a gift from me last year never said anything about it, no thanks, no confirmation, nadda.
I did however get a nice gift last year and it was otherwise a fun little exercise. |
Re: Ho Ho Ho - 2007 MTTC Secret Santa

Going to the effort of covertly finding out about your giftee, picking out cool stuff and then not hearing back left a bad taste in my mouth. As far as I know Summer started a business and lost the time/inclination to play. Shame, her efforts for this last year were awesome... |

Re: Ho Ho Ho - 2007 MTTC Secret Santa
Looks like Bond18 can't participate with the current title.
From yahoo news [ QUOTE ] SYDNEY (AFP) - Santas in Australia's largest city have been told not to use Father Christmas's traditional "ho ho ho" greeting because it may be offensive to women, it was reported Thursday. Sydney's Santa Clauses have instead been instructed to say "ha ha ha" instead, the Daily Telegraph reported. [/ QUOTE ] |

Re: Ho Ho Ho - 2007 MTTC Secret Santa

In.
I plan on being away from the 15th on, though until possibly as late as Jan 1. Maybe I'll buy the gift in Boston, and ship it from VA, or something. |
