Secret Santa
Well, I'm glad you asked. Secret Santa is when you sign up to be given a single name of another person who signed up. Your goal then is to find a gift for the name you've been given and gift them something without them ever really knowing it was you! There's a lot of ways it can be done, including exchanging addresses and what have you, but I found an internet-friendly, privacy-conserving way that everyone who wants can participate!
How will Boolprop Secret Santa work?
The way I see it, you'll sign up in this thread and I'll make notes of everyone who wants to participate. Starting on the 5th I'll drop the names off into your inbox via a private PM between the two of us - no one else will know. You have until the 25th to come up with something for the name you receive then send it back to me via a PM so I can deliver it to them (and subsequently you'll receive yours) and maintain the anonymity. However, should you want them to know it's you after you've come up with the great surprise, you can PM them yourself!
I don't have any money to spend/what kind of "gifts" are we looking at?
This is VERY important! There is absolutely no monetary value that needs to be spent here. In fact, I would strongly encourage everyone to NOT look into monetary gifts (as I wouldn't even know how to transfer that anyways)... no what we're looking at is creative gifts. This can be anything from creating this person a playlist, to writing things you like about them to make them smile, making them a picture collage of some of their sims if they've shared any, or anything else creative you can think of! It could be a poem, it could be non-sims related, it could be SIMS related! Your job when you get assigned a person is to stalk this person's Boolprop postings and learn what you can so you can make something nice for them! "Making" is also relative, as this is about just something personal that comes from you that might make their day.
Will I receive a gift?
Yes, if you sign up you'll both receive a name, then on the 25th, you'll receive your own gift from someone who was YOUR Secret Santa! So we need lots of people to sign up and take part in this awesome event!
How do I sign up?
In this thread! Just say you'd like to participate, and then... maybe if you're feeling kind and generous, you can leave a list of things you like in general. Like, "I'm Livvielove, I love music, my favorite color is lime green, I play TS3 and TS4 mostly, though I've dabbled in TS2. I always could use some more Sims to use in the background of my screenshots. I love wordplay/puns. My favorite animals are owls, penguins, cats, and any other fluffy baby creature (and some non-fluffy baby creatures). I play other games outside of the Sims too--" (I think you get the gist). This would be a nice addition for whenever I assign names and your Secret Santa is looking for nice things they can do for you!
When do I submit the Secret Santa gift?
You can submit it as soon as you finish it to me! I'll hold on to them to release on December 25th!
If you have any further questions, please see the Boolprop's Secret Santa Question thread, so this one can be reserved for sign-ups, thank you!
