Well, we've reached Thanksgiving. You know what that means. It's time to set up for our Holiday Gift Exchange!!!!! WEEEEE!!!

(thanks to Zane for the reminder. And Zane, sorry for "coming down on you" in that Abraham/Isaac post. I think you're awesome for even considering its relevance.)

So here's how it works...

Over the next 12 days, it's registration time. To register, all you need to do is:

1) reply in this thread
2) Say "I'm in."
3) List the email address you regularly use...
3b) IF you use the email address that you've listed for the site, just say "use site mail."

Registration will close midnight (EST) from Nov. 30 into Dec. 1. At that point, I will randomize the list's order and we'll start up the exchange.

Some newcomers may be wondering: "what IS this gift exchange?"

It's pretty simple. One person gets you a gift, you get another person a gift, and on it goes. In a big chain.

There is a "minimum" to the gift. Unless specifically requested from your "recipient," the album should be a *full length* album. No singles or EP-length albums to save on cost! As for a maximum ... I would personally recommend spending no more than $40, but you can feel free to be as generous as you want.

When your "giver" contacts you to find out what you want, you can be as specific or as broad as you want. Maybe you'll say "I want the Ar tonelico II OST, and NOTHING else." Or you might say, "I want any VGM album released in 2007." The only limit here is that it's *supposed* to be VGM.

(Warning to whoever gets me ... I'm VERY picky. tongue )

Any more questions about the exchange? Lemme know.

No worries at all, dude. I hope you could tell by my response that I didn't take it personally or anything.

I am definitely in, of course. smile

I think I've got a pretty good algorithm going for deducing musical preferences.  We'll see.

I'd like to take part, as this seems like it would be fun (both to give and to get!), but I'd feel bad as I really wouldn't be able to spend much. Maybe $15. :-/

Your call, friend. If you can up that expenditure to $25 you should be fine.

Buy a US CD? It's not like people actually get you stuff you'd be interested in...

bump. Not much time left, if you want in, do it now!

Ramza Dec 1, 2007

Alright, sign-ups are closed! I am putting together the list now!

I have to say, I've never seen so few people sign up! What's up with that??

Ramza Dec 1, 2007

it is low, but it isn't that bad. In the last 2 years it's been 15 I think ... so 13, that's close.

GoldfishX Dec 1, 2007

True, but in the past, there were always a few "extras" that liked to receive but not give. At least IIRC. I'd say the list this year looks pretty trustworthy.

Red HamsterX Dec 4, 2007

Bleh.

I've been too busy with homework to do much of anything over the past week and a half, and I just managed to finish enough assignments to finally start checking forums again, only to find that what I thought was December 4th was really December 1st. And I was really looking forward to trying to become a bit more involved with stuff here. sad

Oh, well. Next year. (Unless there's still room somewhere in the already-posted list)

Ramza Dec 4, 2007

Well, if anyone in the list hasn't already arranged to get each other gifts, we can wedge you in-between.

Red HamsterX Dec 4, 2007

Well, if it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen, but if it does, please let me know via Gmail (red[dot]hamsterx), and I'll try to get on top of arrangements within a few hours.

Thanks, Ramza.
