Frank
* 1-Nov-2022(#1)Last year was fun, so it's time for another High Roller Secret Santa gift exchange! This is still
technically an unofficial gift exchange, so please keep that in mind!
Any subscriber without a current BTR that has earned a Gold Silver Star () is eligible to sign up (I know the official Secret Santa allows bronze, but since this is a higher value exchange, I’m being pickier with who gets in!)
The quick version of how to participate: Post here in the thread that you would like to participate! Send me a PM titled "High Roller Secret Santa 2022 – Registration" The context of the PM must include the phrase “I am in.” along with your address. If approved, I will then ask you to send me your want list, before the Wednesday deadline. Update all of your Wanted lists (on the site here) and send me that list of wants through the same PM titled "High Roller Secret Santa 2022 " Please send me your want list ASAP, as that will ensure your partner receives it in a timely manner. After you ship your gift, go back to the same PM titled "High Roller Secret Santa 2022 " and say "sent.” Along with providing any needed tracking information. After you receive your gift, go back to the PM "High Roller Secret Santa 2022" and say "received" and then be sure to thank your Santa in this topic! |
The details:Signups are open now and will continue until Sunday, November 20th. Partners will then be assigned and PM'd out within the following couple of days. Gifts must be received by Friday, December 30th The target gift value for this exchange is $50 USD. Gifts MUST be worth a minimum of $50 US not including shipping. Every effort should be made to send a complete item. If you are sending something used, it should be complete and in at least "very good" condition. This is not a way to unload your unwanted crap. That said, if the recipient is okay with cartridge/disc only, so be it! Unfortunately, because it is too difficult to manage, I will not be allowing international users. If we develop a better management system in the future, I’d love to include everybody! |
Tips/Additional Rules: Look at your partner's wants and check his/her lists and posts. Put the same effort into selecting a gift for your partner that you would want someone else to put into yours. If your partner has inadequate "wants", don't give up! Try to figure it out. If you really get stuck, try a gift card or something like that! Make sure you provide adequate "wants" for your Santa. There should be at least 4-5 things on your list that fit in the target price/value range. When you get assigned a partner, start figuring out what you are going to get them! Immediately. Don't wait until the last minute! In most cases, the person that you are assigned to is NOT the same person that is assigned to you. In other words, you aren't just making a 1-to-1 exchange with someone. You're buying a gift for someone that, most likely, is buying a gift for someone else entirely. After you've received your gift, post in this thread thanking your Santa for what you received -- just so they know you appreciate whatever it was! (Or, if you've figured out who your Santa is somehow, you can just thank them privately if you'd rather.) Don't leave your Santa hanging without acknowledging their gift! Problematic users will NOT be allowed to participate. Please keep this a drama-free gift exchange Keep in touch throughout. Communication is key! |
WARNINGSome people suck. Despite our best efforts, people might still get stiffed. If you don't intend to follow through on your commitment here, please do not sign up. |

Ah that's true. Last year for the Holiday I lowered it to Bronze, and then this summer automatically changed it back to Gold out of habbit. I'm sorry about that Geoff.
I'd offer to change the rules, but with only 6 days left of signups, I don't feel that's very fair. Unless others feel like it's okay!

I feel like the group should decide or frank alone since it's his event he's running. Wasn't really here for the stuff regarding Mike as it was before my time, but he's been a wonderful trader with me and issues if at all were resolved quickly. As long as the qualifications are meet I see no reason not to other than just harboring a grudge. My vote is yes, but i ultimately believe it's franks or the groups call here over anonymous up or down votes through members that may or may not be participating.

I decided to let the community vote. I voted my opinion in his post.
In a situation like this, I felt it needed to be a community decision. I do it for you guys, so I want you to have a say.

16-Nov-2022(#51)Everyone deserves a second chance or even a third I suppose. It’s kind of a douche move tho, to short change your fellow GTZ’er when everyone else is being super considerate and generous towards their partner. With that said I’m ok with allowing Mike to participate.

* 17-Nov-2022(#63)Everything that happened is unfortunate, but it is what it is. Hopefully, he's learned by now, when you are offered chances, don't try to manipulate the votes in your favor.
DMing people "asking for support" would have been enough on its own to throw the votes out the window. Don't take advantage of people's kindness!
I thought offering him the vote was the fairest thing to do. I hate that everyone isn't able to participate and follow the rules. This exchange was never meant to be exclusive in any capacity.
With all that said, thank you to everyone who has signed up and sent their lists. I've got all but one list in the spreadsheet, ready to go.
Hopefully, if anyone else signs up, they can provide their address and wants posthaste!

What a fudging nincompoop. Course, after what he did and how many people were like "Ehhh let's see what happens", in a premium SS group, I'm not sure how much better some of y'all are either, to be fair. He woulda lit y'all asses up again, candle with NO wax, TWO Ghost CDs and a tootsie roll with a note that just said "GOTCHA, dog~"

It's always left up to the person to decide if they want to type up a list, or send a GTZ want list. Lots of people do one, the other, or a combination of both.

If you wanted to drop out because your buddy wasn't voted in to participate, you should have just been honest instead of lying about finances. I don't care that you resigned, but the fact that you felt the need to lie about it is what is not cool David.

What I don’t understand is why you’d even post telling us about your Secret Santa with Boston. Do you think anyone here gives a flying fudge? I’m just so confused. It’s like you’re rubbing it in our face that you withdrew from this Secret Santa so you could do one with your weird, sketchy friend. The whole thing is just super weird.

* 25-Nov-2022(#102)Alright let’s get back on track… was gone much of the day today, but came home to package 2 of 2 from my Secret Santa. Package 1 of 2 is due to arrive Monday!
Super cool gifts. Check this out:
imageThis seriously made my day. The cd is intriguing to be honest. Never really indulged in video game music before… this may lead to a new hobby!?! Also super excited to get Jax and Daxter, Brilliant Diamond and Majoras Mask. MM - I’ve always kind of been luke warm to the idea of timed quests (I don’t know what to call it), at best I’ve maybe spent 30 mins on this game multiple times on 64 “back in the day.” It’s one of those games that’s always in the back of my mind.
Thanks Santa this was such a Fun gift to experience!

Nice. If you're wiling to wait a few weeks Aliexpress has the cheapest repro N64 stuff available.
The N64 repro stuff fascinates me as well. I can tell the difference with the boxes but some carts are done very well. The gameplay differences for some games are also interesting.

31-Dec-2022(#165)I received a while back and have been so swamped with ups its not even funny. Thank you santa for mixing a bit of new and old onto my want list and gifting me Secret of Mana for PS4 Sealed and Persona 5 Royal for ps4 sealed. Now i have a reason to give these persona games a go I've heard such good recommendations on.
Glad that everything arrived safe and sound. Happy this event went smoothly and equally thrilled that the person who recieved my gifts were overzealous with them.
Thanks to all active participants who let frank avoid a lot of headaches and not only sent/received, but did so in a more than timely manner. Thanks to all mail carriers for working in often times unbearable conditions to deliver these items to our doors.Thanks to Bill for giving us a platform to allow an event like this to happen.
Looking forward to the next one and remember. It's 100 times more rewarding to ever give than it is to receive.
Much appreciated everyone
