The Most Satanic Time of the Year: Secret Santa 2019!!!!

Post by coldbrightsunlight »

Friends, neighbours, fellow fuzz freaks, it is once again time for the giving and the receiving of wondrous things. The season of communal spirit, of love, of creepily stalking a stranger on the internet to spend twice as much on their gift as you will on your IRL family.

RULES
If you want to participate, these are the rules:

1. Don't be an asshole.

2. ILF Management will review all applicants for rule 1 compliance.

3. Minimum post count of 500. If you don't have 500 posts, it's way too difficult to chose a meaningful/rad gift for you. You can try again next year! I am prepared to make exceptions for cool people, but I have to know you or have someone I trust vouch for you. It sucks but we have had dropouts in years past and it's always really sad.

Also to everyone participating, POST MORE in the run-up to Christmas so you can be stalked. Doesn't have to be you writing down a shopping list but let the person stalking you get to know who you are and what flavour of pickled herring you like!

4. What should be in the package (guideline):
A pedal or musical apparatus with a minimum value of $100, used or new.
A piece of recorded music. Your own or something you think the recipient should hear.
Love (or a simulacrum thereof)
Etc. I'm not buying the gifts have some ducking imagination.

Remember it's not about cost it's about love and thoughtfulness. The guideline minimum value is so nobody feels too completely short changed, but if you get someone something that you have put a lot of thought into and really suits them I'm sure they'll love it even if it cost $22.

5. Presents must reach their destination in time to be opened by Christmas (obviously this will never happen 100% but please try!).

6. Failure to send a gift will result in Ban Hammering. The Management does not enjoy that, you will not enjoy that. And remember, we know where you live.


Other guidelines:
NSFW: show
On choosing a pedal: Make sure to search the user’s posts to see what they have and what they might want. The “Let's see your PEDAL BOARD!” viewtopic.php?f=149&t=393 thread can be particularly insightful. Prefer an ILF builder.

On treats: I expect most people will prefer local/different. Send something weird that your recipient has never had. Send something you think your recipient will like (or be entertained in hating.) Send something that’s meaningful to you. Include an open-by date on the outside of the box. If you're going to ship anything in a glass bottle or jar, wrap it very carefully and isolate it from any music gear you're sending. Consider the laws on sending certain consumable products to other countries. :erm:

On shipping: Plan to ship with enough time that your recipient will have it before Christmas. College students tend to get very busy and may not be able to receive packages at the end of the semester. When you sign up, please think about where you’ll be at the end of December.

On secrecy: The identity of your victim should remain secret until gift opening. Make sure to include a card or note in the box!

Please take a few minutes to peruse the previous ILFSS threads to get a sense of what sorts of things people find delightful.

APPLICATIONS

All applications must be sent by Friday October 11th 2019. If people really hate this date I guess I could extend it but you're cutting into your own stalking and buying time.

To enter please email

secretsatan2k19@gmail.com

With the following info:

ILF handle
Real name
Shipping address
Phone number
Shipping preferences (e.g. US only, EU only, etc. I will try my best to accommodate this but please understand it may be limited by the number of people involved and it might have to be all worldwide)
Preferred date to receive your gift.
Can you play vinyl records? CDs? Cassettes? Downloads?

I will send a receipt email to every successful application. If you haven't received one for a day or two after sending in your email, PM me.


QUESTIONS AND APPLICATION ISSUES

If you have any question, ask them in this thread and I'll get to it :)

This is probably one of the coolest thing that you guys do and I have enjoyed watching the opening videos the last few years. I have told myself the last 2 years that I'm gonna make it a point to try and reach 500 posts in the next year so I can finally participate in one of these but as you can see I'm barely halfway there haha.

I really can't and it's kind of an issue but having that as my user name has helped me out a lot.

I've had a pretty bummer year this year, so I'd love to be in this and give some joy. I know I haven't been posting a lot (never thought I'd say that). Is that ok still?
