Winter Gift Exchange
This gift exchange will be a bit different, so please read the explanation thoroughly.
1: You will have from now until January 7th to choose a gift. This gift may be something from the site shops, marks or cash, or something from you, such as free or discounted art or graphics.
2: On January 8th, the gifts will be passed out. Passing them out will be random, so there's no guarantee what anyone will get (except that you will not get the gift that you bought/gave).
3: Through January 7th, you can give as many gifts as you like. You cannot specify who they go to, with the exception of 'not a staff member/Whim.' If you add multiple gifts (such as a firelizard and 40 cash), you may choose to have the gifts kept together (one person will receive both the firelizard and 40 cash) or separated (one person will receive a firelizard, and another person will receive 40 cash). You may also specify if individual gifts can be given to anyone or only to non-staff members (so you can say that the firelizard goes to anyone, but the marks only go to a non-staff member). You can also group some gifts and leave others separated (so that one person receives the firelizard and marks, and a different person gets a kitten).
Now, a few more details:
- The gift you add will not be given to you.
- If you buy something from the site shop to be a gift, it will cost half of the normal price (so a royal firelizard would cost 100 marks instead of 200). If the original price is not even, the gift price will be rounded down (so a character slot would cost 35 cash, half of 70 instead of 75).
- If you decide to gift marks or cash, whoever receives them will get three times as many as you send (so if you give 10 marks, someone will receive 30 marks).
- Post in this thread for all gifts you want to give. If you post in the main shop thread to buy a gift, it will be full price. It doesn't matter if you have one post or multiple, but if you decide to edit an earlier post to give more gifts, either post, PM Whim, or let me know in the cbox; I might not always see that a post has been edited.
- If you choose to give multiple gifts, you can keep them together as one gift (one person gets a firelizard, a kitten, and marks from you) or separated (one person gets a firelizard, a different person gets a kitten, and a third gets marks). You may also group some of the gifts (one person gets a firelizard and a kitten, and a different person gets marks).
- You can not choose who your gift goes to. You may, if you wish, specify that it doesn't go to Whim, but that is the only specification allowed; anything else will be ignored. If you have multiple, separate gifts, you can specify 'not a staff member' for some and not others (such as the firelizard and kitten can go to anyone, but the marks are only for non-staff members).
- Everyone who gives a gift will receive one. If people give multiple gifts, some will receive multiple gifts as well, but the people who receive multiple gifts may or may not be the ones who give multiple gifts. Participation guarantees you one gift, but more than that is up to chance.
Feel free to also post in this thread with questions, ideas, or if you just want to talk about the event/holidays.
I will also note that six items have been added to the cash shop, involving firelizard and dragon mutations.
