Secret Santa 2015

Hey Polembros! So, the holidays are coming up and that means it's time to [s]exhaust you all artistically[/s] send gifts to your friends! My gift to you is that I won't say Polembros ever again!! for the next 24 hours :3c

But I'm sure you'd like a little more than that, and I'm sure some of you would like to create and give your own gifts to other members here. The mod team does too, and we're super stoked to announce the first annual Polemos Secret Santa! Every member, approved or not are allowed to join this event.

Here's how it works: you scoot your booty on over to the Secret Santa section found here under current events, and create your own thread! In that thread you're going to put a stocking that you've made! Photoshop it or draw it, whatever makes your little heart happy. Make the stocking individual to you c: Put cats on it or John Cena on it or John Cena riding a large cat into battle on it! Just be sure to follow site rules with whatever you create and put on/in your stocking.

Then, you're going to want to create a wishlist in your thread. What would you like to receive for Christmas? Perhaps a chibi of your favorite OC, or an awesome forum signature with your favorite song lyrics in it. Maybe you'd like to have a cute, fluffy story of your favorite ship, or some coding for your newest character's profile! Please be sure to add several different wishes to the list, so that those who don't believe in their ability to draw, design, etc. have other avenues to pursue. Our goal this season is to make every member a happy camper, so if you sign up for Secret Santa, make sure you can follow through. If you sign up and fail to send in a gift, you will not be permitted to join the next several events. How many? I don't know! I'll put you on event time out until a time the mods see fit. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ If an emergency comes up and you're really unable to send in your gift on time, please contact either Elm or myself and we can work it out.

Sign ups for Secret Santa will last from now until 10pm EST on December 7th. Shortly thereafter, Elm and I will privately message everyone who they're making a gift for! Be sure to keep this a secret, even from friends. Surprises aren't really surprises if others know, now is it? And let's be honest, those who've participated in past secret santas, you've totally gone and looked at who all got what. We know, we've done it too. ;D If you're looking for specific information from your secret santa to aid in creating your gift, reach out to Elm and I via skype or PM. We'd be happy to ask for you. <3

Now, your gift is made, and you're ready to go. What next? You personally give your gift to the person you were assigned! Drop it right in their stocking thread and wish them happy holidays, then wait for yours to arrive! Please note that you're to deposit your gift in their thread between 2pm EST on December 24th and 10pm EST on December 31st. And that's all there is to it! We hope to see all your stockings~
