PXR Secret Santa 2016

[Chakramaster]

Thank you to Lunar Latias for the marvellous banner!

Spread the Joy this Season!
Hosts: Chakramaster and Suicune’s Fire

Hello everyone! Welcome to PXR’s third Secret Santa event! 8D

This event is a gift exchange! Sign ups begin now and will close on December 2nd. After signing up, you will be given another member’s username who signed up as well (on the 3rd of December). This person is who you will be sending a gift to. Since you signed up, that means you will be receiving a gift from another Secret Santa! Everyone loves gifts, don’t they?! Giving is half the fun! The gifts will be delivered the day of or after Christmas, depending on the event managers' schedules.


Note: Everyone's gift will be posted at the end of the event for everyone on the forum (and beyond) to view.
If you are not comfortable with a public display of your work, please let either Suicune's Fire or me know when submitting your gift (or any time after that).

Signing Up
There are 2 categories. Like last year, you may participate in both if you wish. This means you can send one or both of the following, depending on what you're interested in:

Wifi Secret Santa!
If you would like to send a gift through Wifi, sign up for this category! You will send and received a gift through Wifi. Please note that to participate, you MUST have access to Wifi/Internet, a 3DS, and a copy of your preferred game*. You have to be able to connect to Wifi and trade your gift. This category may take a little longer for everyone to get your gift, so please be patient. Your gift must be traded by December 22nd. Whatever you want to give is what matters in this trade. You are not required to send out a perfect IV/EV or even a shiny. You can even send more than one Pokémon if you want! =D

*There are two options for wifi gifts; Gen 7 with Sun or Moon, or Gen 6 with X/Y or Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire. As cross-generation trading is not ready yet, you will have to pick between Sun/Moon or X/Y/OR/AS. NOTE that if there is an uneven number of participants for Sun and Moon, someone will have to return to Gen 6. More people have Gen 6 (as some people are waiting until Christmas to get Sun or Moon) so a wifi gift will default to Gen 6 if necessary. Please remember this when signing up.

Do you promise to send a gift by December 23rd?

Non-Wifi Secret Santa!
If you’d like to sign up to the regular Secret Santa, sign up here! This will be a NON-Wifi gift. That means almost anything you can think of goes! Feel free to be creative here! Anyone that wants can sign up. No Wifi gifts will be accepted in this category.

You’re free to send any kind of gift here, but if you’re still thinking and trying to figure out “Oooh what really can be accepted in this category? =0” FEAR NOT! Here’s a few suggestions:

-> Artwork; a drawing, banner, sprite, desktop wallpaper, photograph etc.
-> Writing; a short story or poem etc.
-> Video; a short video, voice clip etc.
-> URPG items or Pokémon [you must follow the gift exchange rules of the URPG]
-> Anything else you can think of!

A Few General Rules:

• Please keep the username of the person you are gifting (your recipient) to yourself! It is meant to be a surprise.
• You MUST submit some form of gift to Suicune's Fire by December 23rd. Please don't leave it until the last minute!*
• You may send more than one gift if you like.
• The ASB and URPG have their own gift exchange rules, so if you want to give a gift related to that, you will need to follow the rules of the ASB and URPG respectively.
• Your gift MUST somehow be relevant to your recipient. This is easy to do, as you may include anything that your recipient included in their sign-up post such as their favourite Pokémon or colour. Generic gifts are not fun!

*If you cannot procure a gift in time for the December 23rd deadline, please send a PM to Suicune's Fire or Chakramaster ahead of time, preferably by the 20th if you are sure you cannot make the deadline. This will give us a few days to make a replacement gift for whoever is missing out. You will NOT be banned from next year's Secret Santa if you are unable to procure a gift and let us know in time; you will, however, be banned from next year's event if you tell us too late (23rd or later). Sorry. :( We just can't have people leaving it till the last minute, as it is unfair on multiple people.



Submitting Your Gift:
PM Suicune's Fire with the following information BY DECEMBER 23rd.
DO NOT POST GIFTS HERE! That’ll spoil the surprise! D=

If you are sending a non-Wifi gift, please send the PM with the following form filled out:

[B]Recipient:[/B]
[B]Description:[/B]
[B]Note:[/B]
[B]Gift:[/B]
[spoiler][/spoiler]

If you are sending a Wifi gift, please send the PM with the following form filled out:

[B]Recipient:[/B]
[B]Gen 6 or 7?[/B]
[B]Note:[/B]
[B]Description of Pokémon:[/B]

• Those receiving Wifi gifts will be told what Pokemon they will be getting on Christmas Day! However, YOU will be responsible for setting up a trade with your recipient.

Your gift MUST be PM’d to Suicune's Fire by December 23rd. Fail to do so and you will be banned from participating in the Secret Santa event next year! Last minute gifts are no fun and are not fair on your recipient. Please don’t leave it until the last minute!

- If you need to drop out or cannot get a gift prepared, let myself or Suicune's Fire know soon as you can! There's no penalty for having to drop out and letting us know. You will only be banned from next year if you give us no notice and your gift has not been submitted on time!


Thank you for participating, and remember, have fun! 8D
