We're running out of time before Xmas. I'll need at least a day or 2 to plan and make my gift.

Please read my previous posts. We are working on a solution asap as GM involvement has disappeared, severely hampering the logistics of it all. Details are being worked out now.

My bad, aj. I missed that post apparently. Here it is, for anyone like me who hasn't been paying attention.
applejack wrote:I definitely apologize to all. The receiving and delivering of gifts is done by GMs, so I can't really proceed until I get the go ahead. Other than my initial inquiry and confirmation before I started this thread I have yet to hear back. I am not complaining as I know everybody is busy, but I have been checking multiple times a day hoping to move this forward. I talked to fox who ran it last year and he said he waited a while during this stage too.
Maybe a contingency plan is to pair everybody off myself and try to collect and deliver them all myself. Santa might need a helper or two if that's the case. I guess backup plan can start tomorrow. Again sorry to all and thanks for your continued patience.

AppleJack, here's my recommendation;
Go ahead and pair each of us up. As there were 27 people, you might want to add latecomers to get it to be an even number.
I think it would be best for you to make a small house, then make it public, and lock a secure chest in there, so people can drop off thier presents.
Anyway thanks for trying to put this together hopefully we can all pull it off.

...and of course, if you need help with the actual collecting and delivering of presents, you can count on me.

Good ideas! You can use the patio at Yew for the drop off. I definately want to see this happen!

xevec... we are not actually pairing off. The person you will be buying for will not be the person buying for you. All participants should be getting PMs very soon from me of who they are buying for. I will have three volunteer helpers who will be collecting and distributing gifts. More info very shortly!!!

OK... everyone should have received a PM telling them who they are buying for. Look for either myself, fox_phyre, chainsoar, or Pirul on IRC to arrange gift pickup. Look for us in #UOSAnta

If I'm the one picking up, I will only be on this guy:
Mercury
Watch for the guild title [Magus Lord, C^V] and seasonal blessed red tunic and half apron, as well as blessed 902 sandals.
On IRC you will find me as Pirul-C^V.

We've collected a handful of gifts so far and I am very impressed. Nice work so far. The bar is high this year!

Please post your gifts....especially if it is a good one (cool or unique)!
Thanks to Apple for organising.
