ILF 2014 Secret Fucking SATAN Assignments SENT!!!!!

[PetZounds]

I thought 'international' implied that you would be down for domestic or international.
I didn't know there was a 'both' category.
If that has an impact at all on how things work out, feel free to put me down for whatever/wherever.

42 sign ups right now!

If you emailed me, I received it and have marked you down. Sorry if I didn't reply.

I've been compiling the lists. 3 lists...you bastards. LOL! Domestic, International, and Both.

Sorry but I cannot do Domestic just within the UK, or Australia, or other places. If you marked International, that mean you may get someone out side of your country or if you marked Domestic but asked for only a certain country, you may have to ship to a different one still. We just don't have enough people open to shipping different places and we'll have uneven numbers. So please be prepared for that.


I'm half tempted just to throw everyone together and have it be a free for all because of how it could become complicated if people throw a fit.

Otherwise you just have to trust my discretion. I will do my best not to screw you over.

Pretty much expected the no UK domestic thing, not sure why I even bothered writing it on!

[Jwar]

Well that's what I thought too but people were marking International and asking for only their country. It just gets too complicated that way.

So I made three categories to try and make it work. Right now we're at all even numbers, so either way there will be a match for each person.

[UglyCasanova]

Soon the shopping shall commence! Ho ho ho!

[PetZounds]

I guess the people who marked international and asked for only their country thought it meant that THEY were international, not that they wanted to ship international?

[Jwar]

I guess the people who marked international and asked for only their country thought it meant that THEY were international, not that they wanted to ship international?

The problem is though that I simply can't make ten different list because people live in different countries. So maybe it should have been more clear but in my defense I did update the rules to state you may get an international SS. I'm just trying to be nice right now.


So if you're in the UK you may have to ship to Australia, or vice versa. That's the only way this is going to work right now.

[univalve]

I don't get why uneven numbers is a Problem. Three People can do Secret Santa. So any higher number Works as long no gets asigned to himself.

And fuck The categories. If somebody wants to deal with only his Country he should better Stay of the Internet.

[DarkAxel]

Um honestly - hasn't it always been like that? That everyone could get an international giftee?

[Jwar]

Uhhh because it's a 1 to 1 ratio. Hahaha. If we have 43 people, one person will not have a match.

[MrNovember]

Uhhh because it's a 1 to 1 ratio. Hahaha. If we have 43 people, one person will not have a match.

Not necessarily...you don't need pairs of people
For example, with three people (persons A, B, and C); A gifts to B, B gifts to C, C gifts to A. Extended that to 43 people and it still works

[DarkAxel]

I don't think that's true? If you rotate everyone "by one space", everyone will get someone, no?

I mean i'm not good at math, but as Uni said - three people can do it. Just rotate

edit: beat me to it

[D.o.S.]

It's more like points on a circle. Or, if you will, a fully circular human centipede. 1>1>1>1>1>1>1>1>1... and the last one sends a gift to the first. That's nine, but everyone's still getting a gift.


Right? (I'm suffering from a bit of a flu and I'm fucking awful at number related things).

Odd numbers work. I'm with univalve re: international gifting.

edit: YAY VALIDATION.

[Schlatte]

Yeah. what they said.
You have to rotate/mix it up anyway, don't you? Because you don't get the gift from the guy you send yours to. At least that wasn't the case last times.

[UglyCasanova]

Or, if you will, a fully circular human centipede. 1>1>1>1>1>1>1>1>1...

That's...beautiful, man

[multi_s]

or if "swapping" between pairs is for some reason desired, assign pairs until you only have 3 people left. then as mentioned, jim gives to bob, bob gives to jon, jon gives to jim. all three give, all three get.
