Secret Santa
Inspired by Rokuta's Thanksgiving Raffle (thanks for the Starman, by the way ), and with the swift approaching Most Wonderful Time of the Year, I've decided to host a Christmas gift exchange. Anyone who wants to participate should just reply to this thread. I'll be sure to update with a list so everyone can see all the participants.
Here are the rules:
If you want to join the gift exchange, you'll obviously have to contribute a gift. All gifts will be a Pokemon carrying an item. You must breed the Pokemon yourself, no prizes or quest rewards or extra caught fish or anything like that. This is not a place to dump your garbage. (You can still give things like Vullaby or Bouffalant whatever, but only if you breed one yourself.)
I will be making a public box on my profile called "Gift Exchange", and as people sign up, I will be populating it with Golett, one for each of you, named after you. When you have the Pokemon you want to contribute ready, you may send me a private trade for your Golett, and I will put your gift up for everyone to see. The Gift box will stay open to trades until December 23rd, server time. Then trades will close, and I will start drawing names out of a hat. Anyone who hasn't donated a gift by that time will not be part of the exchange. Once I've determined whose gift will go to whom, I will post the results here and send out the gifts in trade, looking for that Golett I sent you originally (if you really, really want to keep your Golett, talk to me afterwards and I'll be happy to send it back to you for whatever).
I myself will not be contributing a gift to the exchange, just so I can keep the random assignment of gift-giving unbiased. (I'd be unbiased anyway, but this looks better. )
If there are any questions, feel free to ask. Remember, the gift you contribute must be a Pokemon you bred yourself for this exchange (I will compare the conception dates to the date of this post.) and it must be holding an item.
Merry Christmas!

Re: Secret Santa
Gift Exchange box
These people have said they want to participate:
We have Pokemon in from several of you now; the links are above. I'll update this post as more come in, so you can all have an easy link to see the Pokemon you might get for Christmas.
Still need to see Pokemon from: evanater.
(I decided to tuck you all into a spoiler tag, because the list got rather long after I added those Breeder cards....)
Edit to add: So it turns out there is a 15 URL limit on posts, so I can't link directly to every Pokemon in the Gift Exchange box anymore. Instead, I took down those links and put a single link to the Gift Exchange box at the top of the post. I've also color-coded everyone's names: Green people have sent in their gifts. Red people have not yet (and are rapidly running out of time).

Re: Secret Santa
All right, you're added to the list, too!
(Interesting sidenote: Apparently Pokemon names aren't quite as long as player names, to Peppermint April's Golett is named PeppermintApril instead )

Re: Secret Santa
Absolutely. You may send anyone anything you like. Who am I to stop someone from giving presents during the holiday season?moon5330 wrote:May I send everybody who participates in this a Goldeen?
I've added pokemaster and Powerchu to our list, and there are Goletts with their names on them in the Gift Exchange box. (Looks like I might have to start breeding some Golett. I don't seem to have the overwhelming horde of them sitting around that I thought I did. )
