So...well, this may sound silly, but yeah, let's see.
Here in Brazil we got this "game" we play when the year's ending that we call, in literal translation, "secret friend". I bet the same game exists in the whole world, so yeah...
For those not familiar with it, it consists in a secret sortition, where every person picks a paper that contains another person's name. That would be your secret friend, for whom you must buy a gift. Then, on the assigned day, everyone exchanges gifts!
Well, I saw my sig today and thought that it was a nice act from Lucas, and I thought we could make this something bigger. The idea would be that the gift would be something like a sig, avatar or such, which we'd put on until X-mas!
This's a great game, cause it bring people together, everyone fraternizing with each other...
May sound pathetic and lonesome, but I really like a lot of people in here, so it sounded fun ^^
Your thoughts?
-
that be cool but you need a way to do the
where every person picks a paper
that contains another person's name
my be some can pm you
it's one way to do it
-
Yeah that would be tough to assign everyone a secret friend. Unless one person puts all the names in a hat or something then does all the picking, then PMs everyone their partners or whatever.
But it would be cool lol
-
Secret Santa around these parts, since it's a cheap way to do Christmas with a group, but everyone still gets something.
-

I could do that. I need somone to list all of our active members though.
EDIT
(I forgot the quote ) _sweat_
-
I would be in. I suggest we make a thread were everyone who wants to be a part of it sign up then someone randomly chooses who get who. Then pm the name to the members.
-
Yeah, we do this too, here. However, it's on Christmas, not at the end of the year, and the person try to guess who picked their name. If you get it right, you get the gift right away, and if not, you just wait for your next turn until you're the last one. Well, that's how we do it in our family. Maybe it's totally different for other families.
That would be nice doing it on Charas... however, since I'm not very skilled and some time a bit lazy, I'm not sure I should participate... I'll see about this.
But it sure sounds like a good idea.
-
YEES!! That's it (i just remembered from Friends episodes)!!! Secret Santa!
Well, that's what I thought: we assign one person to do all the picking and compromise NOT TO TELL ANYONE, or we can use something like this:
http://www.elfster.com/
So, who's in?
EDIT: OH yeah, here we have the oposite of Secret Santa too: instead of giving a nice gift, you give a screwd up one, to muck the person and so on...this one needs moderation, so that no fights come out of it, but it's pretty funny too!
-
Yeeeeah, I remember Secret Santa in fifth grade... I got an alarm clock in the shape of a duck or something... Anyway, sounds like a good idea. It would be fun.
-
Well. at least it wasn't a leather underwear like my father-in-law got...and put on....screw'f up images won't go away...
-
I'd like to participate! Sadly, I'm not that good of an artist....still, the thought that counts, right? ^_^
-
Haha, our marching band is doing something like this right now. Its very interesting...
-
Sounds fun. I'm in.
-
Count me in.
-
I'm in. This'll be fun.
-
I guess I'm in.
-
Alright, then we'll use that site to do the sorting, right?
I'll post the necessary stuff right away!
But first: what would the gifts be? Post ideas, suggestions, etc.
-
The giver should decide what's best. Sigs and avas would be the safest bet. Epic pictures of the reciever's character or whatever might me nice too.

This sounds good to me, that way no one can complain.
-
Hmm, what about drawings? How you guys feel about that?
EDIT: MT11 likes the idea, as his post seems to state.
-
Eh, what the hell... I'm in.
-
We could also have a system called 'Secret Fiends' where one member trolls every post another member posts for one month, or something. As a suggestion.
Also, not in, since I can't do a fuggin' thing.

It's not really about doing something pro-like, it's more about doing something for a friend...whatever it is, it's just for fraternizing! I'm not good with computer drawing too, but I can manage some stuff...C'mon!

Damn, you're right. I'm in then.
-
In.
Don't expect anything amazing from me, though. :P Hey, it's the thought that counts.
-
I'm in :)
-
This idea is too awesome to not be a part of. I'm in too! :D
-
Okay kids, here's the sign up link:
http://www.elfster.com/apps/exchange/Join.aspx?euid=82A8BF86-2C59-4528-BE36-EDC35AD2AB72
The sign up deadline is wednesday, november the 12th. It we need an extension, just tell me. Also, if an extension on the gift exchanging is needed, just let me know. The gifts may take a while to be done, right?
The names will be drawn on the sign up deadline day. Please, as login and first name, use your charas nickname, so we can know who are you. Your secret santa will be sent to you via e-mail, so sign up with the one you use the most.
It'd be cool if anyone could get Sai, Alex and Mosse to participate, as well as the other disappeared members.
Awright! Looking foward to it!
[edit: just upping the thread]
-
Rats. Can't visit the link from my palm. I hope I can get the internet on my comp before the deadline.
-
In a failed attempt to contribute meaningfully, I'm in.
-
some one is used my name ?
The login name is already in use by another user.
so i am not in
-
ok im wolfy rivers
had to use
my real name
i got it fixed
thanks to the wife
-
Register kids, c'mon...
-
Sorry. Done.
-
I'm in, and I've registered. This should be interesting.
-
Guys, tomorrow is the deadline for subscribing! Do we need a prorrogation or anything?
C'mon guys, you need no real skills, just need to love your charas buddies!
-
I gave you guys 2 more days to subscribe and then 2 more days to the exchanging...let's see!
-
Almeidaboo how do the exchanging...
as i am going to do some art what be 1 to 2 days
as i have to keep a eye out for my son this week
we that be ok can you pm me so i know know
i am make the art work for and the
time we have to fin all the work
thank's for you time and help
-
Uh... this brings up a problem. >_< I can't do a whole hell of a lot so whoever I'm paired up with may end up with crappy MSpaint-nes.
-
It's the thought that counts. I expect mine'll be awful without drawplus.
-
Lone, we'll exchange gifts im here, in a topic I'll create later on!
The exchange is scheduled to november 21th, so you got plenty of time. The drawings will be done by the end of this week, so you'll know who you'll make your gift to and you can maybe do it sometime on the weekend, so you can take care of your son!
Like I said, worry not. I'm no drawing marvel either, but I'll put the best intentions on my gift. The important is that we have something like this to remember, and maybe this'll become a Charas tradition and we'll have it called "secret Almeidaboo!"...:)~~~~
Alright, my ego went overdrive...
-
Awright kids, name's been drawn! Go check 'em and prepare your gift! Remember, the intention is what counts alright?
-
How do I check?
-
I got someone awesome too. I shall enjoying making a sprite for it.
-
I thought I signed up?
Did I? I kinda wanted to.
-
Hm, this'll be tough.
-
Well, that's an interesting draw.
Now I have no idea what to make.
-
Awesome! I had something in the works for this member back when I was doing those mouse drawings! I'll finish it, then! :D
-
I can't do anything, it's not letting me see who I got... how do I check? ;_;
-
Sorry Phayre, I put a lot of time for subscription, I'd have to undo the draw and stuff...alter the exchanging dates...
Roland, when you log in there will be a box saying "see you draw"...click on it and you got it!
-
Okay, that's fine. Sorry.
-
;_; Mine's impossible for me to do well. GAH.
-
Alright, it's time to brainstorm! I hope the recipient loves macaroni art!
-
CRAP--I had a brain fart, and now I can't participate.
Next year, I suppose. I guess I'll just give myself an internet spree...
-
Oh yeah, when are these due? Mine's saved on another computer.
-
I'm a jerk, I retired. Hahaha!
I may participate next time, though.
Now I'll wait and see what you'll come up with!
-
What the hell. Why is everyone pulling it? The one I got better not give up or I'm not going to be a happy member.
-
Seriously, when do I have to get this in? x_x
-
who did i get ?
as i forgot my password to get in to that site
so can you pm me then i pm your gif
-
Uhhh...only you can know that Lone, you gotta remember your password.
Exchange date is november 21th.
-
Really? I need to work faster!
-
I'm done with my gift now. It could need some more work but I don't think I will have any more time for it.
-
Lack of time and laziness are two of the main reasons I didn't participate this year. I'm pretty sure I would've ended up empty-handed.
Now, since you did participate, stop being lazy, you!
-
Mine is 3D and epic. And possibly animated if I decide to be cool like that.
-
Hey guys, just wanting to tell you that I'm dropping out as well. I have a life. [/bad joke]
-
What was the joke? That you dropped out or that you have a life?
-
If anyone needs a postponement, we'll do it, no worries...
-
Just a question as so many people are dropping out.
They won't do their part right?
But would the members who had any of those members still have to give them the gift?
-
I think I'm actually the only one who dropped out for real. But I changed my 'status' on elfster to "declined", so I'm not on the list.
Well, I'm not supposed to be.
-
Cerebus is the only one who dropped off for real...the others are still in.
-
What was the joke? That you dropped out or that you have a life?
Both. I guess.
Lucas pretty much hit the nail on the head.
-
All right, so only Cerebus dropped but the others are whining.
Great. Let's get this doen people.
-
Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck! I'm out of macaroni! I hope I don't have to postpone/cancel mine, too!
-
****. I still haven't started. I honestly have no idea what to do... so... someone can expect a "it's the though that counts" gift.
-
I finished mine. I am ready for Secret Friend duty! *salute*
-
ok had to get a new one
wolf moon is my new name
-
That won't work, lonewolf. You'd need to get your password back, because it won't send the member you got to your new account. Isn't there any "I forgot my password" thing? If not, try to remember it, because one member will receive nothing and will be sad.
Do you really want someone to be sad?
-
Mines.... uh... finished-ish. I made it in a graphics modeling program from SCRATCH so the person I got better be happy. It took me six hours total.
-
Mine is finished as well.
Took only 53 seconds to make on MS Paint. Counting the time it took to save.
lol jk >.<
Its finished though.
You know what the sad part is? I know your not really joking :O
-
Cerebus, I'm pretty sure with all the droppers here, more than one person will be

Archem how did you make this?
-
Sad face magic.
-
Cerebus i did ask for i
That won't work, lonewolf. You'd need to get your password back, because it won't send the member you got to your new account. Isn't there any "I forgot my password" thing? If not, try to remember it, because one member will receive nothing and will be sad.
Do you really want someone to be sad?
i did that like 5 days a go but i think i messup the email
as i have not got emails back from that site
thats why i did a new name
but if my Secret Friend! can pm me here i can give them my gif by a pm if thats ok
then next year i hope i can use my new name
-
I doubt that person know you have him. I guess the only thing you can do is wait until everyone get their gift, and the only one who'll receive nothing will be the one you got...
-
I just realized. Today is the exchange date!
(For those that have not given their gift yet. ;) )
-
Yeah... What happened with that? I want to give my gift...
-
Yeah, I'm done with my gift. Should I just send it to them now, or wait?
-
****, really? I'm barely started on my gift... Sorry.
-
Are you supposed to send the stuff to the secret frind through Pm or do we wait for Al do create a new thread? I'm clueless.
