Secret Santa on Scapers.com in '07?

Okay, so this is obvously WAY too late to get into this year, and WAY too early to talk about for next year. However, after seeing BGG.com's "Secret Santa" event, it hit me just how cool it would be to do for this community as well!

BGG.com Secret Santa: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/secretsanta/

So I just thought I'd bring it up via a poll and ask:

"If 'Scapers offered a Secret Santa gift exchange, would you want to participate?"

Vote and discuss... and Merry Christmas!

I was actually thinking of organizing (or at least offering to organize) one this year, but other things came up, and needless to say, I didn't. But I would definately participate! Coincidentally, I received my BGG Santa's gift today.

We would need some sort of way to list what we do/don't want, unless it were to be completely open.

Don't think of it as being outnumbered. Think of it as having a wide shot selection!

True.

The easiest way to do have a "wish-list" available would be to have participants list desired items on their profile page in the "Interests" box. That way, when you're assigned a person, you can just go to his or her profile page and check out the list. This would also allow for an easy way to keep one's wish list updated.

I'm down w/this. I echo Jim. I considered it, but things happened. I wish things would quit happening. Oh, wait, that would be the end of the world. N/M, but yeah, still down w/this.

Yes. :P

I've always been crazy, but it's kept me from going insane.

I'd say have sign-ups before GC, but the send date happens after. That way, those participating and attending GC can keep an eye out for cool new stuff to send... or even the next GenCon HS exclusive!!!

... assuming there is one...
