Wait, so we all have to trust the same person? That is the only way I see this making sense lol. I don't want to have to trust someone I don't know with a gift I bought for someone.

I love the idea though and I'll definitely participate if I don't have to give the gift to a "middle-man".


(heh, last year's method worked very well, can we consider it being done that way? lol.)

Finally another voice of reason. Again the moderators are asking that if the secret santa exchange is to happen that gifts NOT be given to one player to hand out.

 

[LoriR]

I think a Gift Exchange is a wonderful idea, however, having all gifts given to ONE player to distribute just isn't a good system.

Mal already made a list of possibilties that may prohibit that player from being able to pass out all those gifts, besides the extreme organization that ONE player will need to keep track of who gets what, and who has been gifted and who hasn't. I know I wouldn't want that job!!

I highly recommend you use a method similar to other gift exchanges that have been done in the past. Here is a link to last year's exchange that should give you some ideas. http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=950551&referrerid=&highlight=secret+santa

Please realize, that even with extreme organization, some will end up not being gifted.

Please revisit how this exchange will be organized. I truly feel the ONE person plan is just too risky. I would like to see everyone doing this , not this

one of my vmk no dis friends, shocomouse would love to join. his mom wont let him on dis, so im gonna add him and if u dont know him now, u will see him at the drawing thing.

Just an FYI because you said "vmk no dis". Although Shocomousse (and his sister Pixiebecca) are not allowed to post to the DIS yet - they ARE DIS. They are in the DIS Kids Teleporter Network.

I realize noone has suggested they shouldn't be allowed to join, I simply as a coordinator for the DIS Kids Teleporter Network, wanted to let you, and any others, know they are part of our DIS family, and wonderful examples of our DIS family to boot!

Also, to help you a bit with VMK titles:
- purplehusky is HolliJolli
- FilamentTheBright is FilamentTheBright

A final note, I chose not to join this year, because like Mal and Front, the rules are too sketchy. I do agree it ought to be considered, to be run as last year's was. Wauwakaa (PurpleGoddess) did a spectacular job of a giant project! I can only hope you have looked at the link cat.herder provided.

You have a good heart to want to do this project. It was such a good time last year, and I got to make a wonderful new friend all the way from Scotland out of it too! I wish you success with this year's!

mal, and disney and lori, and everyone else concerned, i know Ms.CL_PirateSteff will be holding the items, not me bc i want to participate, and she does not. everyone knows pirate, shes done numerous trades for stitch hat and inferno, and she has just held a pair of green flips..she can be fully trusted.

 

[Alionette]

I would love to be in it!

Even knowing who is holding the items I still am not comfortable with anyone no matter how trustful they are holding all the items to give out to the giftees.

There is alot of responsiblity associated with this way of doing an exchange and it is really alot to ask of one person.

I truly think as does Lori that it would be a much more advisible way to do this exchange by giving each person who is participating in the exchange the name of the person they are gifting and letting them do the gifting themselves.

If you do not choose to do it this way I am afraid the responsibiltiy of how the exchange goes will be on your shoulders and yours alone.

While we can not stop you from doing the exchange this way or from anyone participating in the exchange we would perfer you do it the way it was done by Purplegoddess last year.

im glad your concerned about me. but would i do the random generating.then pm to the people who is gifting to each other?

AvastPirateBen, I am sure she is a very trusting girl, but like Mal said, it's a lot of responsibilty. Especially if she isn't scamming, another member could claim she stole their items and vmk would have a log of her collecting the item from the player (while it wouldn't appear to be a scam, you know how sometimes vmk can get). It could result someone in a ban, even inadvertently. I know you must have your heart set on this set-up, but I really think Mal and Lori have good advice here.

 

[swimmingneno]

um... MKOATEYW is eywprincess on vmk!
