DIS Boards Secret Buddies. BUDDIES WILL BE HANDED OUT TODAY!!!

[cuteswimgirl]

I tried to take over for Idol_Fan weeks ago with the buddy thing. I took the list from the old thread ( Idol_Fan's thread) but it didn't work out exactly how I planned. Many people would come back in a pm saying they told Idol_fan they decided not to do it. That really confused me because I had to find different buddies and now feel really bad that some people didn't get gifted.

I think the most confusion was taking the list over from Idol_Fan's thread over to mine. I am really sorry to anyone who didn't get gifted. Another problem was that no one knew what certain people's VMK name's were. When I tried to contact them they never replied back. When I asked Mal what her VMK name was she said to look at "Introduce Yourself Post Your VMK Name Here" It has many peoples VMK name's. I ask that anyone who is going to participate follow the link to this thread to intoduce themselves if they haven't (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1085204)

The last problem I saw was trying to match boy's and girl's. I tried to do it Boy Boy, Girl Girl but sometimes It was hard to tell by their signature or how they put it. Like without looking at my signature but just my title you might think I'm a boy but I'm a girl. It was the names that got confusing.

Well three weeks are up and it really didn't work out. I have decided to try again but do it differently. Seeing the problem from last time has helped me how to decide to do it this time. The second week of august we will have a party. Everyone will meet each other and you can ask people to be your friend so you can locate them. Don't just ask your buddy but ask other people so it confuse's people as to who is their buddy. Try to ask at least three people ( I will post the exact date soon)

I will start a list of people involved. To be involved post here and fill out the following information

(Copy and Paste this into your post, it's easier)

1.DIS Boards Name:
2.VMK Name:
3.Gender (Boy or Girl):
4.Items you Want (ex. Pink items):
5:Time Zone:
6.Are you willing to take the time to locate your buddy and give gifts that are at least over 500 credits? (Respond with a yes or no, if you respond with a no you cannot do this):

Please do not post twice here. Only once to post this information. I ask you to only post once because when I try to hand out buddy's It will be easier to find you. Once you post the information you cannot decide not to do it for I don't want it to be confusing like last time.

If you have any ideas PM me. In the title just put "Idea's For Buddy's" Please do not post your ideas here. You only need to gift your buddy once in two weeks. It has to be at least 1 item. We will then have another party where we will tell our buddys that we were gifting them. (Again I will post an exact date here)

I will wait a few days for people to sign up and decide to do it. I will make an annoncement that I will be handing buddys names out (I will change the title of the thread) I will make sure everyone get's a buddy.This Should Be great and lot's of fun!I hope you decide to participate and Please Please Please make sure you are ABSOULOTLY (Spelling?) sure you can do this. I will accept donations and will have extra things if someone never gives you an item.

Thanks Everyone

DIS BUDDIES!! DO NOT DELETE MESSAGE!!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear MKOATEYw,


I am so glad you decided to participate in the DIS Buddies. If you have done this last time this is going to be way different for you. Instead of just telling you who they are we have a bit of information about them


Now time differences are a difficult thing to get around.Expecially if your buddy is in a different time zone. Here is a list of time zones


10:00pm Eastern Time
9:00pm Central Time
8:00pm Mountain Time
7:00pm Pacific Time

So for Example if you live in Central Time and your buddy lives in Pacific theirs a two hour time difference between you. Remember when asking your buddy where to meet, if you do, make sure that you include their time too. So don't just say meet me Tuesday at 9:00 Central time. You might want that want to say 9:00 central time/7:00 Pacific time.

Please remember some of these people you are gifting are little kids so they can't be on all night. Don't ask them to meet you at like 10:00 p.m. make sure it is reasonable, like meet me at 8:00 pm.

We will not have the party for like a week or two. (I will talk about that later) This means you have a bit of time to get your buddy the gifts they are looking for. DO NOT DELETE THIS MESSAGE! I ask you that because I get a lot of messages and when it comes time to delete some of the messages I sent you I might delete yours. Then you ask me and I won't know because I have deleted the message.

Anyways, the party will be on August 12, 2006. At

11:00 - 1:00 Eastern Time
10:00 - 12:00 Central Time
9:00 - 11:00 Mountain Time
8:00 - 10:00 Pacific Time

I cannot fit everyone’s schedule but I ask you stay for the full two hours and try to get here ASAP. We will have fun games with prizes to pass the time and a quest! Make sure to accept all friend requests!! Search for Buddies Party! My VMK name is TheDivaStar. You might know me but some of you don't so I'm giving it to you.

When coming to the party make sure to wear plain clothes, just in case your buddy worked really hard to get you something and your wearing it might make them feel bad and will make them not want to give it to you. So please not hats and no dresses, costumes, etc. That's the same for meeting your buddy. The gifting time is between the day you go to the buddy party and the 26th of August.

If after the first week you have not gotten anything pm me I will talk to that person about it. If you don't tell me you might not get a gift and that wouldn't be fun. Remember to try to get what your buddy wants.

At the end of two weeks which is August the 26,th find your buddy with your regular character and tell them you were the ones gifting them. Remember to tell them though!

Thanks for reading and I hope you have a great day!

-WDWfan36
AKA: TheDivaStar

P.S: Please remember you agreed to do this and spend the time to find your buddy and get them a gift. Don’t be rude about it! Thanks!

Was it just me or was there no party tonight?

Poor thing, it was in the morning! There was a thread reminding people, which had the times listed and did state all times were AM. It only lasted about an hour though and of course maybe 1/3 or 1/2 the people came. Don't worry about it, just try to meet up on your own, ask a couple people if they have your buddy on their friend's list.

Yup, I was confused by the "all times are AM" statement, so I imagine others were too, though I did address it in that thread. It went from AM to PM, so it only lasted two hours, I think? I wasn't able to make it, sadly; I had a bit of a family emergency today.

And if you have no luck finding them on VMK, I suppose you could just PM them on DIS to arrange a time.

 

[hdmonkeybug]

Can someone let me know when the next round is. I would like to give it a try.

 

[Groovydolly]

i dont like to bump up but i never got any thing from a buddy i think you forgotte to give some one me as a buddy

 

[ShadowKittyKat]

Well I gifted my buddy a long time ago... and I know as well as you Groovydolly... I did not recieve a gift either... I think people just put it aside and forgot about it... I would not join something if you aren't going to follow through on it.
