TTG Secret Santa 1.5: This Time, It's Summer!
I promised last time to do this when the next sale occurred, and now it has, so fun fun fun! It was a tremendous success, everyone got games that were fun and (I'm sure) were fun for all.
Rules
If you don't know what Secret Santa is, it is a common holiday event between larger groups of people. Basically, a bunch of people sign up, and are assigned a random other person who also has signed up, and everyone buys eachother something without knowing who their gift will come from!
Rules Specific to This Secret Santa
Applicants must gift items using Steam.
Items should not be worth less then $3, or rougly £2.
Items purchased should not exceed $30, or £18, roughly, so we don't have anyone buying anyone else iPods and other people buying Laptop Covers.
You must send your gift by July 10th, 2011.
Registration
To register, please reply below saying you're in and send me a PM with the email address your Steam account is linked to, so your Santa can gift it to you. If you have titles in particular you would like, feel free to send a link to your wishlist. Registration does not close until July 5th, but once a sizable amount of people have joined I will start pairing people up.
Other Information
If you have any questions, please, contact me by PM or reply below!
Note
Steam works in an odd way where if you buy a gift for someone, it sends exactly what you bought. For example, if an Australian gifts someone in the UK Left 4 Dead 2 then it's the censored version Australia gets instead of the UK one. This is just a disclaimer, but it potentially could make anyone in Australia want to hold off on buying titles like L4D2.

The main page is of Marty and Max.
EDIT:Whoa there is a competition, earn tickets to get free stuff.
And yet none of the challanges for today involve telltale.
In fact I have none of the games today, but at least I have the group ticket. I should be able to get the TF2 hat at least:D
EDIT:Oh I have Bit trip, but it isnt installed.
It's one of those two. Steam name is division-ten and my list is ordered by things I'd like.
To my Secret Santa: I made my Steam wishlist bigger just to enter the Steam contest. Actually, I don't want neither Call of Juarez, nor Hector (wich I'll buy from Telltale's store when they launch the three episode bundle), nor The Next Big Thing (which I'll buy in Spanish on my usual retail store)
Just open Steam, and go under the settings part in the 'view' bar of the main window.
And the email is sbwin[at]udel.edu
2 down and that is all I can get since Bit Trip is the only game on the list I own.
Also, on my wishlist, not to sound greedy or anything, but I'd like the Deluxe version of Oblivion and the Game of the Year version of Borderlands. It just doesn't show up on the wishlist.
ECIT: THe set was $1.50. I treated myself. Cheaper than most iOS games, to boot!
Question: What if I buy something to that person and it's NOT the game they want, or, worse, it's something they already own??
You can see the list of what they own on their STEAM page.
Oh and, since I don't really have a wish list, is it possible to add (Not Racing Games) near my name, please?
This is fun!
My profile
My Wishlist
Gotta PM me the email your steam is linked to, as the only other way to send a gift is to add you to their friend list which sort of ruins the element of surprise.
Also, not just to you but to everyone, please try and do your best at keeping the things you would like the most at the top of the wishlist and the things you would like but aren't dying to play towards the bottom.
And I updated my wishlist. Yaaay!
EDIT: Question!
Will we be paired like this:
a with b, b with a, c with d, d with c
or like this?
a with b, b with c, c with d
Well, I use a random number generator and assign people numbers. I already did this with 10 numbers, and assuming 10 people join then only one pairing will be gifting eachother, and the rest giving someone else stuff. So mostly like the second one, I guess, but less obvious.
You did- 'cause I gave them to you!
Need your steamail in a PM, and if you would like to make a wishlist please feel free to do so and link us to it.
I'm giving a few people there targets earlier than others because there's still 3 days until the deadline to join but there's a chance some of the games the people want will be on sale during those three days. Everyone will have there's by evening GMT (midday EST, late morning PST) on the fifth, though. Don't have access to my spreadsheet with the people and their targets, which I regret as two titles high on my wishlist are on sale. Normally Steam redoes more popular items from the sale as a recap day, so my hopes are still high.
Er... how do we find that out?
From Steam, I mean. It's jsut that I bought some stuff from Steam yesterday (not having seen this thread, dagnabbit) and despite promising to email me details of the order, they haven't. So I;m wondering if my account is attached on an old email address. But I can't work out how to find it in my profile. Can anybody help?
Under the bar that says 'file, view, etc.' just click view and then settings.Email should be listed there.
I have... like... no money. But I want in.

Unfortunately, I lack the finances to support such a scheme, so that was my only contribution to this topic. Enjoy your games, y'all!
