Greetings, fellow non-cats of Not-Earth, and thank you for joining us for the inaugural Pixel Cat's End Secret Santa! I, Taco, will have the privilege of guiding you through this event, so grab a cup of hot chocolate and settle in, because we're about to get started. First and foremost, however, I would like to give special credit to Argante from Flight Rising, as its thread was a major source of inspiration.
Nevertheless, you may be pondering what exactly a Secret Santa is. Well, the participants in a Secret Santa are randomly designated another participant to whom they give a gift. The identity of the gift-giver is to be kept concealed until after the gift has been received by the match. Each participant is expected to both present and receive a gift. The presents will be distributed via a third party, namely myself.
As this is the first time it has been hosted on PCE, there may be hiccups along the way, and it will evolve as things progress. This is a test to see how well it works. Now that we understand what a secret Santa is, how does it function?
Each individual will receive a Private Message from me containing their intended recipient's wishlist and other pertinent information, as well as the person they are to gift. The match will be chosen at random.
You are then given a period of time to shop, and once you've acquired the gift, you'll send it to me, and I'll deliver it to your match on Christmas. Once the gift has been sent, you have the option to remain anonymous; if you choose not to, your identity will be included on the gift sent to your match. Send me a message if you have any concerns about your match's wish list, and I will contact them.
There are three financial tiers: 500 notes, 1000 notes, and 5000 notes. Participants will be paired with an individual from the same tier.
Now we’ve gotten over the explanations, there are a few guidelines regarding gifts.
