what are we gonna do with an odd number of people? that leaves someone unmatched

Don't worry. We got a plan for if that happens. Encountered it many times beforehand. We're at 82 right now.

I kinda wish the sign up would on end on tomorrow (Tuesday) and we get our names Wednesday.

Same here. It would make shopping easier (Black Friday/pre-thanksgiving).

While that would have been best, to be honest we kind of got a late start this year so we wanted to extend the deadline a bit. We understand that it may put extra pressure, especially with shipping on time, but we ask that everyone participating be patient as well.

 

[amdskip]

Sorry guys but you will not get names that soon as Matt has stated. It takes a decent amount of time to send out the emails and sometimes even longer to figure out the pairings and try to make it as even as possible for everyone.

not doing it this year as i am in london doing internship. practically broke.

 

[jlee]

I finally submitted mine- I hope my likes/dislikes were helpful..good luck to whoever gets me!

 

[MartyMcFly3]

Last day to sign up!!! Get your applications in NOW!!!!

Hope everyone had a happy thanksgiving!

 

[MartyMcFly3]

We are at 85 signups!

 

[chiew]

are we supposed to get a confirmation email once we sign up?

 

[Duddy]

So I'm confused, do we get an email with our "target's" mailing address, likes and dislikes?

You should get a message displayed on your screen saying that your submission has been sent. We changed our email over to gmail which made confirmation emails impossible. If it helps, we received your submission.

Exactly. Jeff and I will now (hopefully within the weekend but don't hold us to it) organize everyone signed up and begin sending out emails. This info will include almost everything you provided us with on the sign up sheet. My hopes are for this to be done by Sunday, but due to circumstances, we may have to push it. Hope this answers your question.

 

[Imported]

Hm.. room for concern if I didn't get a confirmation email? I submitted earlier today.

 

[JohnCU]

crap i dont think i ever got a confirmation email!

 

[MartyMcFly3]

Imported and JohnCU, you guys successfully submitted your apps. There is no confirmation email. There is just a message displayed on the application once you submit that says it's been sent. That acts as your confirmation.

 

[eve]

cool can not wait for my name
but i am surprised at how many less signed up this year

 

[MartyMcFly3]

My portion of the list is organized (Jeff and I are both participating so we had to split the list up so we don't know who has us). I will do my best to get my emails out by Sunday night. Bear in mind, this weekend I'm working both nights from 6pm-6am, and do not really have access to a computer to do the emails. I am hoping I can get a majority out tomorrow morning before I go to bed, and the rest after I wake up. One thing you should note, your email will have who you should contact with any questions regarding SS. This is most important. Jeff can't answer questions about my list, just as I can't answer questions about his list. All we ask is for some patience as just like you we have other priorities as well.

Get ready, it's gonna be one helluva ride!

We have 88 people participating this year. A bit less, but probably due to economy. Good number for my username though.

 

[JohnCU]

yay!!!!!!!1

 

[MartyMcFly3]

Holy hell! I just sent out ALL of my emails in an hour time-frame. Not bad. Those who don't have emails, it's amdskip's fault so PM him and give him a piece of your mind. Not only will it maybe motivate him, but it will humor me.

Read the emails carefully. If you have a question, PM the person assigned to you (either amdskip or myself). Remember both amdskip and I are participating as well, so this is very important, as we don't want our fun ruined either.

Happy Shopping!

 

[JohnCU]

meh i've never seen my secret santa post on here lol but time to buy presents, good job getting the emails out so quickly

 

[MartyMcFly3]

Rectified a problem. 87 people participating. Thanks for bringing that to my attention JohnCU.

 

[rudeguy]

I PM'd amdskip because I didn't receive an email.

Excellent. Maybe now he'll get off his lazy butt and send his portion of the list out

 

[rudeguy]

I do have an extreme amount of time on my hands. Should I PM him every hour on the hour to check the status?
