It's that time of year again and I thought I'd fire up a thread and see if y'all were up for "Round 4" of our "GRM New Years Game".
I'm thinking this year I'll take signups for the game from now until Monday the 18th. I'll create an excel spreadsheet (just like years prior), pair people up, and get everyone out in one batch again this year.
If you'd like to play this year simply PM me with:
-
your GRM name
-
real name
-
Your current address
Please title the e-mail "GRM New Year Game 2017" and please don't post your personal information in this thread. Also in your e-mail please note whether or not you' be willing to ship international (we have some members in Aussie land and some friendly neighbors to the north who would like to participate) In years previous we've had a surplus of people willing to ship international versus international people wanting to participate. If you were on the fence because of your geographical location, please don't let it stop you from joining in the fun.
The rules:
"All names in by nightfall (PST) on Monday the 18th of December. You'll have your reply e-mail no later than the end of the day on Wednesday the 20th.
Something "automotive" or "laying around the garage" will again be the norm (offerings to the gods of speed, random car parts, garage reading material, war trophies, stuff you just don't want, etc). You can deviate from this by buying something strictly for the game but you do so at your own risk. A gift that fits in a flat rate box (size of your choosing) has been the norm in the past, but is by no means a hard and fast rule.
I call this a "New Years Game" because we're all busy enough as it is around the holidays and there's no sense in adding to the cluster. In saying that there is no real deadline to have your gift sent out, but please be considerate of your giftee. I think somewhere around January first would be a good deadline to set if you were looking for a timeframe to have a box in the mail.
Since we're doing the lists and giftings in one batch again this year I think we can all post pics to THIS thread. (this part is mandatory please, it's more fun when the other participants get to share your excitement).
There is no punishment for signing up and not participating. But I do have a non-participant list running from the last few years (these are people who received, but did not gift). If you're on the naughty list I'm afraid you won't be allowed to participate this time without some sort of... well, we can work something out. Just contact me for details or to check if you're on the list. Last year we had 50 people involved from around the world, and if I'm remembering correctly we had 100% participation!
Let's see, did I forget anything?
Oh, yahoo mail subscribers tend to have trouble with the PM system. Try "willgrow" and the number three at gmail.com (all one blurb) for more reliable message delivery if you're a yahoo user.
Cheers!
