ILF Secret Santa 2016

[Aquietcabin1978]

I dig it. Should have kept reading. See what posting at work will get ya. Makes sense for the stalking part of the deal.

Hellz yeah I do mad trading, that is at least 3/4 of my post count. Not much actual posting though as I are mostly full of dumb. If it's cool and provided I don't get shit canned tomorrow I am totally on board. ( shit even if I do get fired I have enough pedals laying around to arm a small village with harsh noise signals intelligence )

Since last year it has been a surge in people playing synths/drum machines/modular. Maybe we should expand the pedal rule to be one of those things too? Same criteria regarding pricing and everything, but just to accommodate our synth brethren too.

Lessons from last year: If you get involved in a three way love triangle, MAKE IT SEXY.
Seriously, it's a great way to get to know more ILFers.
THREE WAY BOND YO.

But, I think one of us had a problem with postage and shit going missing (goosekevin? Was that your package for Brandsmannen?)

ALSO: employ a local builder/DIY type.
Kaos did a rad job last year and although he's MIA (hope you're OK mate) he, and heaps of other dudes are an excellent resource.
Like, there is almost ZERO reason not to get your Satanic in-house.

Bolded for truth!!!

About employing DIYers as gifters, I did that and the build messed up, my friend had personal issues to take care of and I ended up getting a replacement gift sent in July. Just a warning about the same issue. And the thing about goosekevins package was ALSO MY FAULT because I am a moron and I forgot to write my actual adress and just sent the poor bastard a zip code and a country basically. I promise I'm a very fast learner though

So the lesson here is don't invite Nils in on your three way.

Seriously though, that's not your fault. You were told one thing about the build and then guy did another.
Most peeps around here are pretty solid and they wanna uphold their ILF rep and smash it.

Also, on the used pedal front, I also got a PS-2 from this guy and it is rad. So used can definitely be a great option.

And Swedish/Dutch addresses read like the Necronomicon, what's up with that?

I'm working on a rules thing and I'll update the first post if it still makes sense tomorrow.

D.o.S., you're a fantastic cheerleader.

Pretty sure statute 27.35 B states that the organizer must have joined no later than August 7th, 2009. It says that we can bypass this statute if said organizer does the customary offering of buying a candy bar for all active members on the forum upon the next equinox.

Of course! Meet me at Captain Candy in Northampton, MA, on 9/22/2016 (my birthday) to collect your free Mr. Goodbar.

Instead of post counts is it worth considering a) active user. and b) not first Christmas?
I'm aware that requirement a is potentially synonymous with worms in a can.
But I do wish to reiterate that ILFSS has been run so fricking well previously I see no real need to change anything.

The date of registration question was interesting to me so I just took a scroll through the member list and there's only one member with more than 500 posts who has registered since last Christmas.

I felt like too much of a noob last year to get involved, but I'll join in this year if y'all will have me. Spoiler: all my gifts will now and forever be Stevie Ray Vaughan/Texas themed, so get psyched!

[MSUsousaphone]

Sweet! I would get in a van with anyone for chocolate.

[goroth]

What if said van contained your 15 children?

If your gift doesn't include the statue or a miniature version, we'll all be disappointed.

Pretty sure I'm just going to send PV a scarf holster if that's who I draw as my stalkee.

And we have coupleofnapkins and AQuietCabin on the post count fence?

This list makes me very excited.

[DRodriguez]

Damn, list is shaping up nicely.

I'd vote coupleofnapkins is good, don't know aquietcabin too well but I recognize them when they post.
