Samanayrs

Another year has passed and samanayrs gather to share company and warmth. A pile of gaily wrapped presents are mounded together in the center of a clearing. Warden of the Desolate Tundra keeps guard over the presents, glaring at any who would sneak a peak. I’m running the second annual White Elephant gift game! White Elephants are a popular party game, but of course we’re doing things a little differently on the forums. Sign-ups are open from now until Saturday December 14 at 5:00 PM Pacific. Twelve players will be randomly selected from all the submitted forms. The game will start Sunday December 15 at 3:00 PM Pacific. Active participation is key so please only sign up if you will be available at this time. I will try my best to post a list of players right after signups close.

How the game will be played:

• Before the game begins I will take a roll-call. If a player is not in attendance I’ll make the call for standby players to take their place.
• The twelve players will be randomly numbered off and I will post the list of twelve wrapped presents. The first player has their choice of presents from the pile, but they don’t get to unwrap it yet.
• Once a player has made their selection I will repost the list and successive players will have their choice of presents from the pile or they can steal a present from another player!
• If a present is stolen from you, you can either steal from a different player (no steal-backs) or chose another present from the pile.
• A warning though, the wrapping paper is delicate and may tear apart during theft! If this happens the thief receives the contents of the present, it cannot be stolen from them.
• The game ends when all the presents from the pile have been selected. All the presents will open to reveal their contents!

To enter please PM amazondreamer with the subject “White Elephant”. Forms sent to Sushidragon may get lost.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns!

Good luck everyone I'll be watching until the kiddos get up!

Gonna have to feed the animals soon >> They started howling for dinner at 4:30, an hour and a half early!

Here we are, signed, sealed and delivered! 8D

Okay, finally remembered my password and got logged in... I'm here! XD

I am here!

Okay. All set and ready to go. I love this game!

Yay glad you made it! I've checked in everyone who has posted so far. At this point I'm still missing Orasteele.

I'm giving them until 5:10 to log in before taking standby players.

Edit: Tasmen and Orasteel I meant

I'm here to watch or play if there's an empty slot.

Just realized I am at the end of the list. Means I get to be last to pick. Could be good. Could be Really good.
