Santa will be coming to town! thats right kids..
Why don't we do a Secret Santa within EVE?
Everyone posts here who would like to get involved, and then I'll organise a list and pick names out of a hat, after numbering each person. I'll pick them out in pairs so i know who to give eachothers gift to, then i'll use an alt of mine to set up contracts to the people who were meant to recieve their specific gifts..
ie; 1; bob j 2; sam p 3; duncan k 4; jenny d
1 and 3 get matched, they buy their gifts and contract them to my alt, my alt will then give each their present from their partner.
why do it like this? To keep it annonymous.
Secret Santa Explained.
got it?
The gifts should cost no more than 50 Million ISK - they can cost less than this as I know some people are better off than others in-game.
We can use Chirriba as a third party if you like, [merely to re-assure you all that this is not intended as a scam, but more a bit of festive cheer].
I am going to need a right hand man in helping Organise this, since i will be away from the 12th - 20th Dec Skiing, But will be around otherwise.
It will be nice to get a variety of aged players involved to hopefully variate the gifts. Implants/faction mods/ships are all welcome. Any stupid gifts like 1x antimatter will be discarded and the person removed from the list.
Let me know what you guys think.. If this gets a good response i'll create an alt and post him here, then confirm its my alt. [the name will relate to this somehow].
I won't take part, just to keep it fair and annonymous. However any donations are appreciated since i'm poor ha.

Updates go here.
++ I will Create the alt when I get back from work tonight. Still looking for more people. Join in the festive cheer!
++ The 50mil Limit can be influenced, so post/ edit your posts with your feelings on the situation.
++ The Deadline for the Contracts will be the 23rd of December, I will then Issue the contracts over the following 4/5 days afterwards, depending on how many there are.
All contracts are to be put up as a two-week item exchange. Just incase you create them while i'm away.
I recently recieved a repy from Cribba about his services, and he is unable to lend a hand due to him having a lot on his plate atm with his own stuff.
"2008.12.02 07:42 Hi, While I'd like to help I don't think I will have the time currently as I am busy with my own event thing happening shortly. Sorry for any trouble this may cause you. /c"
I have decided to put this in here to notify everyone that there is now currently no third party service in placee, unless someone knows of another good resource that can be varified.
The event is still going ahead however, exactly as planned. Any questions/ reccomendations for a third party, please post here.
EVE Santa is ready to start recieving contracts.

The name of the person to send the contracts to will be;
'EVE Santa'
All contracts and gifts are to be sent to/ made in Jita
As this is a fresh char and may not be able to transport/ fly any gifts of yours. If you cannot accomodate this,due to empire wars/ low sec status, please let me know via email to EVE Santa, and i will sort something out for you. Anything from deep 0.0 you will be required to transport it to at least a lowsec near empire and we can arrange something from there on.

Edited by: Norwest on 02/12/2008 06:02:58 Just a small request (I'll set up my contract shortly) - It'd be nice if the 'gifting' contracts are put up for 2 weeks as well, for those of use that will be doing the 'RL' thing and unable to access Eve over the holidays

Sure thing, I'll try my best, but to be honest it depends on how many people decide to participate. I the numbers grow rapidly i may need to allocate a 'delivery' slot of a week or so, and then any contracts that arn't accepted i'll drop the person a pm in-game and remind them etc..
Obviously it would be best to avoid this since i know its christmas week and RL comes first.
Hope this helps.

Yeah I'll just give a stranger the gift to give to another stranger. Right on!
Why can't I just create my own Secret Santa alt?

1. I don't think you even read up about secret santa. My alt has to distribute the Gifts to the participants to keep it annonymous, thats like the key rule with secre santa, and this is the best way to do it within eve.
2. Go ahead, nothings stopping you, Although personally i get the feeling you're one of those scrooge characters.
3. If you don't like what this is about, don't post. Simple.
Otherwise, thank you for veiwing/ bumping this thread.

Everyone has the right to criticize blatent scummy shristmas scams, its their privilege as a forum user, and their perogitive as decent person. Simple huh? perhaps im scrooge too becuase im not cohersing Niave players either.
What a surprise Chribba wouldnt have anything todo with this
Anyway, good luck with your scam, im sure youll have atleast a dozen alts of alts claim how great it was to recieve their gift. Perhaps in your next scam (easter perhaps?) youll have the decency to work it the whole time instead of going on skiing trips.
gawd i hate lazy scammers.

I think you miss-understand Chribba's reasons for not taking part. He is currently organizing his own Christmas event which is taking up the majority of his time. If this really was a scam do you think i would still be advertising to a third party reference? Or do you think that i would have even tried to get in contact with Chribba in the first place?
By being a 'decent' person, and trying to tarnish what you think appears to be a scam, you are actually getting in the way of lots of other 'decent' people who want to exchange gifts this Christmas.
Secondly, there is no set amount of what can be sent as a gift, i said upto 50mil, but it doesn't have to be that much, a thorax is what, 6mil? What I'm interested in is the thought/ festivity of this event. It seems many people have lost the art of giving now-a-days.
Thirdly, if this was a scam, do you not think that i would be running the whole thing through an alt? I have an honest reputation and would like to keep it that way thank you very much.
And no, there won't be any 'alts' posting here with what the recieved. Sure people can post if they want to, but its not necessary.
I dare you to come back to this thread on the 28th of December.

Seems like a scam to me everyone just contracts their gifts to you. Maybe I'll participate next year after watching this one go over.

Can we do a "gift basket" with multiple items or would it be easier for you if we just do 1 item?

I honestly havent thought of that to be honest. It would be easier to do one item for sure.. but i think a gift basket would make it more exciting. I'll still list everything in the same way as a single item, so i cant see why it wouldnt work.
