Secret Santa 2011

[robbdaman]

I'd guess 'Scaper94 just because the clue is close to the burning villages of Eruption.

I counted four Santas from MN....

'Scaper94
sixthflagbearer
suquamish
hoju511

Scaper's clue is "I may be the last of my people..." I don't think this has anything to do with what I received (Warriors of Ghostlight Fen).

sixthflagbearer's clue is "Ghostbusters, Hercules, and common squads." Again, I don't think this applies to me.

That leaves suquamish and hoju.

Both appear to live very close to St. Paul, which is the city on the return address.

50/50 chance....

I'm guessing...

hoju511?

Now for my clue:

If you battle me I will revile
People always say my style is wild
You've got gall you've got guile
To step to me I'm a rapophile

Perhaps that clue will only make sense to me.... it's somewhat of a stretch

Is that "intergalactic" by the Beastie Boys? As in Battleship: Galaxies (does sound like a bit of a stretch). I'm guessing Overengineered as my Secret Santa. Mine was postmarked from Northern VA, and I was thinking you were somewhere in that neck of the woods. Am I right in my deduction?

Ahhh... Battleship Galaxies. A fine game indeed. I also got that one for Christmas and have enjoyed it very much.

Funny thing is that I can't help but think of that inspirational, Grammy-winning Beastie Boys song every time I play the game. Ridiculous, I know. I assure you that I'm not the only crazy one because my friend mentioned the song when we played a couple weeks ago.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy the game as much as I do. I wouldn't have even remembered to add it to my Christmas list if I hadn't seen it on yours

~OverEngineered

p.s. They don't make hip-hop like they used to

[akden]

Thanks Santa. You were more than generous.

Of course, I think of "No Sleep til Brooklyn," "Paul Revere," and the rest from License to Ill when I think of Beastie Boys (not necessarily when I play Battleship: Galaxies, though )

Oddly, I think I know who your Secret Santa is OverEngineered,

So that means: A) one or both clues flew way over my head, or B) you have some secret information that I must extort out of you

Nevertheless, I don't mind not knowing. As far as I'm concerned, knowing the truth would probably just take the magic out of it for me.










Seriously though, tell me

Guys,
So very sorry for not posting sooner, we are finishing a move and just now got the old internet up and running at the new place. I never really get much time to surf at work, so again sorry for not posting sooner.

First off, thank you Secret Santa Shockma Ranyk, yes that is my guess.

Second, sorry but no dice here OverEngineered

and finally, a clue... part of my gift could be from Minnesota, in a Nordic/Brainerd sot of way, minus the roa_ _ _ _... ooh I said too much.

Well, Hoju posted his clue. And I might have secret information

[Therrian]

I have no idea who my secret santa was...of the clues I have seen, nothing speaks to me...but I also suck at riddles, so that isn't a surprise, heh.

Whoever you are though, thank you very much!

Elder Sign has gotten many plays already, and it seems to have struck a chord with some of my non-gaming friends.

LOTR has gotten a number of plays as well...most recently this past Friday when me and 2 others got smacked down by the 3rd quest in the series.
