*Fakku's Secret Santa Event 2012*

Hmm... I don't think I said if I wanted to join, just reminiscing of last years... which got me into thinking of how many people actually dropped out of the Secret Santa event.

I could join, but I don't think I could give any really decent gift...

Well, no pressure of course : )


JOIN OR DIE


Just let me know~

I'll join... I just might not be able to give such a spectacular gift in my opinion.

Could you explain why this rule is necessary, since it doesn't seem to make any sense to me?

I remember doing this last time - count me in!

Hmm, Bookie asked me that same question yesterday... I just copied it from the last two years posts. I'll take it out, geez ;~;

I was about to suggest against it, as editing the first post unstickies it, IIRC.

Oopsie, I didn't know that. Well I'll just go through it again to make sure it doesn't need any other edits, and just ask it to be re-stickied : )

Don't worry about bothering me. I am glad to help out whenever I can.

As requested, re-stickied.

This rule is only there if there are an odd amount of people in the event. It is thought that the person running the event will not participate in the event itself. So, if there were... say 15 people in the event, to make things easier, the runner of the event will join in and make it 16 people. This is to make pairings easier, and a lot less complicated. That way, everyone will only have to do one gift for one person, rather some people having to worry about doing two gifts for two people (one gift each).

Now think about it again and explain where you're wrong.

To me, it'd be a whole lot easier for someone else to do that. If I were to think about it over again, from a different perspective, it could take me a few days. As of right now, I don't see anything wrong with my explanation.

: D

Obviously you do not "make pairings", it would defeat the whole purpose of it being secret. Everyone will get one person in the draw even if there is an odd number. 15's a bit too big to use as an example here, so lets' do 5.

Random drawing:

from -> to

A -> E
B -> A
C -> D
D -> C
E -> B


Works, no need for a 6th person.

Zandorf and Sam fail today's math class. *nods*

Okay. I see what made you question the reason to have that rule. I was thinking of much simpler pairings, where you just number the people, like 1..2..3..4.....1..2..3..4..... That's where I thought the rule would be essential to the running of the event. But if you were to do the pairings as you suggested, there would be no need for that rule.

[align=justify][color=green][font=verdana]And fuck you, as I already knew that.

Maybe it was just theonewhoeats way of having a chance to be involved in the event? It's not that big a deal, really guys.

All changing the rule does is remove my chance of being involved in the event. Is it that important for you to be "right" luin?

But are you going to join, cirnee?

It does not, you can join without having to wait for an odd-numbered result.

If I joined, I would feel bad that my santa wouldn't be a secret. You know, whoever it is couldn't surprise me.
