Hi Clannies,
We will be organising our annual Secret Santa again this year!
What is Secret Santa all about?
Secret Santa essentially entails the exchange of goodwill in the form of gifts within participants, or in this case, clan mates. We hope to build a sense of camaraderie within the clan such that every member can get to know his or her clan mates better and build friendships. Most of all, have a very merry Christmas!
How do I partake in Secret Santa?
1) Register your interest and sign up by posting on this thread (There will be a similar thread in the internal clan forums). Your name will be added to a spreadsheet and be assigned a number. Sign ups start on the 1st of December and close on the 18th December. After the registration window is closed, you may still indicate your interest, read on for more details!
2) After the window is closed, I will use a random number generator to arbitrarily select numbers, or participants from the list. Participants will be subsequently paired up such that each participant will have be a Santa and a recipient simultaneously. Player A will be a Santa to Player B, B to C, and C will in turn be Player A's Santa. This is to avoid any bias in allocation of pairings.
3) From 18th December, I will disclose the names of recipients to all Santas, so that everyone will be cognizant of who he/she is presenting a gift to on the day of exchange. I will try to notify all participants via pm when they are online' If participants are not notified or are inactive, rule 4 (below) applies in this case. All participants are encouraged not to disclose or insinuate to their respective recipients in the clan chat about them being his/her secret Santa. You wouldn't want to spoil the surprise!
