GFL Secret Santa 2016

[queue 917 / 10,419]

Welcome to the first GFL Secret Santa! If you do not know what secret santa is, it is when members of a group or community are randomly assigned a person to whom they anonymously give a gift. This event will be hosted by @Domps, @SantaTrump, and I.

The way this will work is that those interested in participating will fill out this form. In the form, you will need to give your forum name, Steam URL, and a list of games that you would like that abide by the rules below. Entry will be closed on December 23 at 12:00 AM EST. Names will then be put into a pair randomizer. These pairs will be kept hidden to all except those hosting the event. Once the form is closed, your wish list will be sent to your Secret Santa (names are kept anonymous). You will purchase one game from the list and gift it to the GFL Secret Santa Steam account (see rules below). On December 31, these gifts will be delivered to the corresponding people. 

Rules for Participating:
- The item must a Steam game (not a bundle, software, or in-game items)
- You must enter in at least 3 items, one of which must be $20 or less (pre-sale value)
- You must add the GFL Secret Santa on Steam (STEAM_0:0:195244091)
- If you sign-up, you are obligated to purchase a game from the list of games you receive. If you do not, you are therefore banned from further events like this and from all giveaways within the giveaway section

It is highly recommended to purchase games during the Steam Holiday Sale. You may also purchase games from G2A. If someone does not follow through with their purchase, then you will still be able to refund the game that you bought them (as long as it was through Steam). I will add that we are not participating to prevent any form of bias. If you have any further questions, be sure to ask. 

Happy Holidays! 

- Domps, Sasha Grey, and qDogg

Man, I wish I had some cash to spend!

 

This is a really cool idea. It will give people a chance to feel good about themselves by gifting to someone else on christmas!

Same. If I actually had money to spend right now (saving up for a D.C. trip this spring) I'd totally pitch in. This is a great idea guys.

Question; Can I include DLCs? I'm going to get Payday 2 DLCs. If not, I'm only getting 2 games (Line of Sight and Call of Duty World at War) 

 

I'm also pretty sure that there will be discounts during Steam Christmas Sale. So yea. I'm hyped of this!

You can ask for DLC so long that it has actual content. If your Payday 2 DLC is mask pack or something along those lines, we consider that to be more along the lines of in-game items, which is not allowed.

So like Sydney Character Pack, and Gage Shotgun Pack isn't allowed?

 

Sydney have his weapon and his perk derk.

 

Shotgun pack got custom shotgun ammo types and other stuff.

 

I'm pretty sure each DLCs has mask in it with actual content in it.

This sounds like a really cool idea, I'll definitely participate in this. I just hope that people will be honest and actually follow through.

I've already reported your posts @Firestorm they'll see it and hide it. Next time, if you made a mistake, click the flag on your post to report. (:

 

I'm thinking about if if should participate or not. I'm doing one already with family xD. And it's my first, so yeah.

I definitely hope I can find some money to bring together and sign up for this event! Really cool idea. I hope lots of people sign up for this, great way to bring the community together!

Since only 3 people entered, this is going to be canceled. Sorry to those who entered.

[Leks 2,304 / 26,632]

I think because 20$ is just a big amount of money to spend...
I would love to participate but not everyone can afford to spend 20 bucks on steam, even if it's winter sales

[Vauff 965 / 16,996]

Only 3? That really sucks, I was hoping with how big the community is there would've been more than that. Thanks for trying to organize this anyways guys.

[Floopyhiggle 243 / 4,400]

who were the other two that entered?

[Lemon 163 / 4,972]

Who was running the Secret Santa account, anyways? Is that classified information?

Using the secret santa steam account's friends list and excluding Domps, qDogg and Sasha Grey because they were running this. It seems like one of the other two was Firestorm. Don't know about the 3rd though.
