Secret Santa?

[Skunk_Giant]

If someone here didn't get a present, I'm willing to make a deal with them. I'm away for another 2 weeks roughly, so I wont be able to collect my gift before the place is cleared.
I don't want someone's hard work to go to waste, so here's the deal. If you're interested (and it'll be whoever PMs me first, to be fair), I'll see if I can contact someone about having the cuboid changed to include you. You can then have the gift, so long as you PM me what it was. This offer's only up for those who didn't get a gift but gave one.

[Invunarble]

Wouldn't they be added to the cuboid initially to begin with?

Also, what gifts? Are you referring to gifts that have simply been untouched and are still laying around the SS area being redirected to someone else?

[ziggylord]

Could someone please check if I got a present, I get back on Monday but when I left I hadn't gotten anything so I am unsure.

[Iron_Fang]

Still ain't got anything from my santa...

[Invunarble]

Unfortunately, this is what happens when you allow a corpse to run your Secret Santa program.

Regardless of the fact that I was not responsible for anyone getting presents, I apologize if you did not receive anything this Christmas. Hopefully next year's Secret Santa won't end as badly for you (and everyone else).

[random980]

so whats happening with the missing gifts programme? I dont mind giving things away but something in return would be lovely

[trovo22]

Yeah lol Never ot mine :/

[Invunarble]

Due to economic hardships, I've unfortunately scrapped setting up a proper lost gifts program. I'm genuinely sorry, but a ton of projects have recently been shoved in my face, and I really haven't devoted much time to getting proper compensation sorted out.

Rest assured, there's a positive side to this ordeal as well. I recently talked to arogon, and I'll be hosting the secret santa program next year. I realize it's very pre-emptive, but this time around it won't be as sloppy and rushed as it turned out last year.

I'll also be using a different method of present organization to ensure that next year, everyone WILL receive a fair, proper, and genuine gift from everyone who enrolled in the program. You won't have to worry any longer on receiving a gifter that is inactive or too lazy to provide a proper gift, as this new gift distribution method will prove to work far better then it did this year.

The following players have still not claimed their chests inside the communal present:

D4nny
Skunk_Giant
Wildwill002
Xdelphi
M3lancholy
Blackadder51
Wokka1
SneakyPie
Zrylettc

If there are any that are still unclaimed by the 16th February I'll be removing them and splitting the contents among those who didn't receive a gift.

[Invunarble]

I can pass the word on to wildwill and skunk, considering they are fairly active at the moment. Doubt that wokka, sneaky, and blackadder would have much usage for diamonds themselves, D4nny's account is compromised and probably never coming back, and XDelphi, M3lancholy, and Zrylettc are all but dead.

So, February 16th may be a bit too much time to pick up those items.

[Skunk_Giant]

Thought the place had already been wiped, hence why I didn't pick up my diamonds.
However, knowing that they're still there, I would like to volunteer my diamonds to go to those who didn't get a present. I got a great Secret Santa present, and there are other people that deserve that too.

[trovo22]

:D :D :D

[random980]

I passed the word on to black, no idea if he will remember to pick it up anyway.

[MrWhales]

I can pass the word on to wildwill and skunk, considering they are fairly active at the moment. Doubt that wokka, sneaky, and blackadder would have much usage for XDelphi themselves.

Don't you talk about Delphi like that.

[Invunarble]

wat.

Well then again, I doubt they have much usage for him now anyways... geddit... because he's demoted...

[Jake55778]

Ok so who didn't receive a gift?

Tothewhat
Trovo22
Random980
Iron_Fang

Am I missing anyone?

(If it is just four three of you then this may result in quite substantial gifts, there was a lot left over. Also since most of the unclaimed gifts happened to be ones I placed after I'd run out of diamonds they're a bit more varied than the others. Do you guys want a bit of everything, or should I list whats available and you can negotiate for the stuff you'd prefer?)

[Iron_Fang]

I gave TTW her gift, trovo has still to get one from wildwill and IDK about random. I got some guy who was only on for a couple of hours.

[Jake55778]

Okay, thanks for letting me know.

Um, so I went back and gathered everything up into a pool. Turns out there was even more left than I'd realized (Y U no accept my generosity people?).

Well I guess you can consider this a reward for waiting an extra month and a half.

Here's a tally of everything:

Spoiler! :

11,243 iron ingots
1,818 mossy cobblestone
3,056 lapis lazuli
532 diamonds
19 emeralds
10 emerald ore

Decide amongst yourselves how you want to split it.

[Wildwill002]

Next I see trovo in game, I'll give him my gift. I've had it all set but never got time to actually place it :/

[Invunarble]

I'm open to donations if you guys find that you have too much of a present.

I only ended up with four lapis blocks and a Fortune III pick. Guess it's better then nothing, though.

[Jake55778]

I guess that'll bring us down to a two way split, which is starting to feel a little unfair given that it's way more than I gave anyone else.
Would anyone feel hard done by if I just gave away the same amount I did for the original wave of gifts (either 2 stacks of diamonds, or 27 stacks of iron) and then maybe held a competition or something to get rid of the remainder?

[Iron_Fang]

Urm..... Yeah <.< >.> i need iron and diamonds to fund my public bank in tolteca!

[random980]

I dont mind doing a 2-way split with Iron_Fang, not at all, i dont mind a single bit, not even slightly. ._.
Iron and i would definitely feel hard done *cough* if we got the same amount after more than a month of waiting. Also Iron need all that stuff for his bank and I need lots of iron and uh other valuable blocks for a new umm tower made out of iron and rare stuff, that im planning to build, soon, ish... legit.

Spoiler! :

Mouth was here --->

Then i read the left-over totals.


























Now it is here ---->

lol, bare in mind this is just what was left over. I started out with more than twice as much iron, and roughly 10x as many diamonds. I used to be very rich.

Anyway if you guys just want to split it then that's fine. I'll Leave some chests in the xmas area later.

[Iron_Fang]

Where is the Xmas area? And are you sure, don't want to be robbing you of everything valuable

[Jake55778]

The same place all the other gifts went. With the giant unfinished christmas tree.

You wouldn't really be depriving me, I wasn't planning on keeping any of it in either instance. I resolved to give away everything I own months ago.

[Iron_Fang]

Awesome, thanks!

[random980]

Jake is awesome and rich.
There was much rejoicing!

[dandres]

Jake are you not playing Minecraft any more?

[Jake55778]

Not really, I burned out ages ago.
