Secret S/a/nta - Some Early Stuff

Hi everyone!
It's really early, but I wanted to give you all the chance to let you know I'm probably going to resign from Secret S/a/nta after this year.
There's a lot of reasons behind this, and I'll sort them all out in a pastebin for you all to read later!
Someone might pick up for us and we'll transition to that, but I have to figure that out still.
Look out for a thread starting around September, I guarantee I'll be making a post by then!
Without santafaggot things are kind of hard, and I've had trouble getting into contact with him.
I'm sorry about any of the grinched gifts, and organizing it is a bit difficult for multiple reasons.
Stay tuned for more! See you guys in a while! And maybe, or maybe not, for the last year too.
-Santa Loli

I'm unsure if self-bumping posts still works since I've always been bad at keeping up with stuff like that. But, I will try anyways so anons can see this!

Thank you for your work!

Selb-bumping works after 15 or 20 minutes, not sure.

So who's hosting it then?

No problem!
Thanks for letting me know!
It's still going to be under me, but likely with new people as well, since I can't do it alone. I still have to work this part out.

I mean next year.

To be announced/decided after this year's e-mails are sent out.

No one is lined up then? Is this the end of /ss/?

I remember sending you guys an e-mail last year about how I'd be willing to help out with the organization. Should I mail you guys again?

Sad.

I don't know, it's not for me to decide if others are willing to continue with it.
I'll gladly take any e-mails with those interested! I'll possibly try to reach out to certain individuals as well.

how many people you had involved with the organisation?
surely it wasn't just you doing all the work.

It was two people.

The mail I sent was directed towards [email protected]. I'll be sending another mail right now so that you know who is it.

The feeling is mutual...
Yep! But we also got some help last year as well.
Thanks! Will take a look at it later!

That's really sad. Thank you for doing such a good job in the past years.

Damn, is it too late in life to try this? What's the cheapest I can get? I don't really have too much money on me at that point of the year.

If all you are thinking about is to cheap out then I'd rather you not participate at all.

Thanks for everything you've done; you're awesome!

>Damn, is it too late in life to try this?
Yes, /ss/ is over.

Thank you for participating!
We have a cards only and brackets from 10-25 dollars! From there they go up by increments of 25 or 50! Remember, it's not about just buying a gift. Creativity and thoughtfulness is most important! Check previous threads from previous years!
Thank you for participating!

Don't forget everyone, I may be the most well-known, but it's not me who did a lot of the planning behind the scenes. I'm very thankful to santafaggot and others who have helped us the past few years.

On a side note, I noticed cards had a lot of trouble being sent/received last year. It's highly possible a restriction will be imposed to about 2 cards max per person. Something along those lines.

Thank you very much. I hope you can accept me. I've always liked organizing stuff like this, it's something monotone at times but ultimately very satisfying when you get all in order.

>On a side note, I noticed cards had a lot of trouble being sent/received last year. It's highly possible a restriction will be imposed to about 2 cards max per person.
I wouldn't mind that, I only received two cards last year when I had sent out five.

Rest in peace, SantaLoli.

Loli grew up.

Thanks for all the work you santas have done all these years. You've done a bang up job of brightening this place up during the holidays.

Who Sup Forumstoronto here?

I sent out and received 5 cards. I'd hate to see this happen.

WELCOME TO SCHUTZSTAFFEL, EVERYONE!
Don't forget to give Hitler a wave!
o/

Who still 0/X cards here?

That's a shame, but all good things must come to an end I suppose. Thanks so much for making something special happen all these years.

So are you going to give the reasons and methods for others to take over or are you just fishing for people to care about your normalfag blogging months before it's allowed?

Who pissed in your cereal this morning, user?

nice blog. subscribed :)

>secret Santa
I sent some real shitty cards from Italy to three anons last year. One was "Sam Hyde" in Florida and I think he received it. One was in Canada and one was in Chile I think. Are these people here and did they receive it? I didn't grinch you I was just late

Secret Santa has always been /soc/ level normalfaggotry. I'm glad it's dying and hopefully no one picks it up so this cancer fucks off Sup Forums.

>Trying to fit in so hard
I feel sorry for you

Where did santa touch you, user ?

Looking at the posts in this thread, and Sup Forums in general, it might be time for it to die after all. We had a good run.

Its just summerfags, but Sup Forums is not what it was even a year ago. I guess the times are changing.

Trying to fit in at this point would be inviting normalfaggotry. Maybe you should take off your rose colored glasses and look at the rest of the board. Trying to fit in would imply the majority actually cared about the quality of this board anymore.

>suddenly tripfag blogposting about an event year and half from now is good
get out normalfags

I think the matchmaking could be streamlined if applications were sent or converted to a defined .txt format and then converted into Excel.

For now limiting how many gifts or cards can be sent is a good idea.

Anyhow, I'll most definitely will be participating. Grandpa will help out with the drawing again, probably.

This entire event is about socializing and blogging, especially for tripfags. BlondeDude still participates despite being a shitbag and ruining cards so I have no hope for this year either.

The fuck? Submissions start like in five months, what the hell are you doing

Blogging.

I almost had a heart attack thinking I'd been transported to september.

I wonder where Yui Claus is at...

I sent out ten cards and got six back.
I can cut down, but I'd still like to send at least four or five cards.

If you need help with organizing and such, SantaLoli, let me know and i'll help out.

Heil Unser'm Führer Sup Forums!

fuck off jebus

Sup Forums has been unuseable for the past 2 years tbqhwyf

I believe in you Jeebs. Make Christmas great again!

Sent out three cards at least and got nothing in return, and I also didn't get any notification if my recipients received their cards. Might be a problem on our post office's side, but it's really unfortunate nevertheless.

Here's one of the normalfag attentionwhores now.
>I sure hope these things don't happen but I'll mention them anyways to remind everyone to talk about them

I'm not sure about participating this year, last year I did send my present but received nothing instead. Even the letter I got was rude and had nothing to do with anime at all like previous years.

Even since doing this from back 2010 that was the first time that I knew how bad the people lurking Sup Forums became

I grinched my assignment last year but I moved to a new address this year. Can I sign up again with a new email?

Of course. Borrow an address from your family members too.

I do like the idea of that because it does seem like people took on too many assignments and ran out of time leading to a ton of card grinching. Three should be the max and any extras can be for the anti-grinch team.

tfw still waiting for a gift

>anti-grinch team
Come to think of it, there was no anti-grinch team last year, right?
I still have an extra card waiting for a grinched user here.

>tfw Welsh user never posted your gifts

>tfw user didnt post your card

It needs to die anyway, ledditurds and crossboarders ruin it.

It's your own choice to talk about it or post it. Meanwhile, it just ruins everything for the rest of us.

I sent you one as well to the 2016 email address.

I've never participated, but it's sad to see such a dedicated Sup Forumsnon go. Thanks for all you've done.

Just ban all tripfags from entering. Their real names/emails are known to SantaLoli anyways.

Thanks for your hard work! Secret S/a/nta threads are nice things to look forward too every year. I'm basically free to help organize this year since I'll have my law school apps done by then so I'll send an email to offer help.

Honestly I would rather kill myself than participate in an event that's being organized by you.

I agree with this.

Attention whores/tripfags running this event isn't a good idea.

I don't really mind being grinched and all, but the guy that had me posted like three times saying he was sending stuff out and even emailed the organizers he was going to send stuff late, so he'll probably be around again since I couldn't report him.

>Still haven't received last year's present
No, fuck you. If it never arrives it'll be the fourth time in a row.

Do you know where you live?

>grinched 4 years in a row
Damn.

Yes. Why wouldn't I?

At this point, I don't even care anymore, good luck not getting scammed.

>Why wouldn't I?
I don't know. But it would be really embarrassing if the reason why you never got your presents was that you gave out the wrong address, wouldn't it?

I want a santa loli

>pick the $25-50 category
>spend $200+ before shipping

Every fuckin' year

You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?

I wonder many presents this """loli""" has redirected to the North Pole.

After the second year I even put instruction on my email on how to write the address on a label, I don't live in a place with weird address format standards and I've imported stuff from almost all around the world so I don't think that's the issue.

They don't physically handle the gifts though. They just pair up people

I wonder if there's an old lady at the other end of the street being very curious at the strange packages she keeps receiving.
"Look", she'll tell her granddaughter, "doesn't this doll have the most adorable smile?"
And her granddaughter will reply: "Why is she dressed like a sl-", and an iron hand will shut her mouth. "We do not talk like that in this house."
Then the old lady will smile mysteriously and muse that you shouldn't judge other people by what they wear. She'll put her nice present on the TV, where everyone can see it, because a gift from an anonymous friend is something beautiful and heart-warming.

>sign up for a gift and 7 cards
>receive no gift and no cards
>none of the cards or the gift I sent was posted
>get grinched by anti-grinchers
Good. /ss/ deserves to die.

This post is autistic as fuck.

That didn't happen.

Not him but from how the posts in the threads last year were lamenting, it sounds like this sort of thing happened to more than one person though if you missed 7 cards AND a gift, it's more likely he fucked up his address.

T O R O N T O

>sign up for $100(?) bracket five years ago
>get way more than that in personal presents
>handcrafted card
>forget to send my gift
DEVILISH

>still feel bad about it to this day, havent opened anything

It did happen. At least, I did tell a small lie, one user did post my card but that was the only thing I got out of 19 people I was suppose to send to and receive from. And I checked my email to santaloli multiple times to make sure I didn't screw anything up.

And I know from the threads last year that santaloli gave the same assignments to multiple people for cards because when I was complaining about my assignments shitty taste two other anons commented that they also had the same assignments I had. So at least two other people got screwed over as much or almost as much as I did.

Thanks everyone for the support, I slept and woke up so I'm a bit surprised the thread is still alive!
I'll look into people interested in hosting through the e-mail! It's not really up to me to decide whether or not this is going to continue.

And, like santafaggot, if you want to send me stuff I guess, I'll be getting a PO Box this year!

Thanks again everyone! If you have any questions, I'm still around!

So not only you disappointed the guy who was supposed to receive something from you, but then you also disappointed the person who sent you a gift, and on top of that you didn't even send your gift late?
What is wrong with you?

Thank you for your amazing work santaloli, please get that P.O-box, It will be stuffed with presents.

If I ask for a pair of your panties would you send them?

>What is wrong with you?

He's a grinch.
