What a relief
I love you user

about the last thread- okay, I'll do my best next year so go ahead and request ridiculous shit-lewd or silly. thank you for answering senpaitachi

also when do v/a/lentine sign ups start?

First off let me say Holy shit you guys are awesome! Not only did you get me gifts you both also made me cards that is just awesome.

CC of VA- Wow you got me a lot of stuff I know I didn't mention a favorite girl in Monogatari truth be told I love them all. Every gift you got me I love. That shot glass got some usage last night too. I enjoy the lewds you sent as well.

NG of CA - thanks a bunch for the nendo, I hope you're as psyched for season 2 as I am! Also, thank you for the (((nuts))) you little shit
You guys are perfect cinnamon rolls too good for this world. (2/3)

I KNOW YOU'RE ALIVE AND WELL, POST THE GIFTS I SENT YOU FAGGOT.

Please, I'm begging you here.

Nice clock

nice cock user

thank you

>All Might and Deku socks
I have a MIGHTY need

Here they are out of the box.

One of the Yamadas broke unfortunately, but there are still 5 I suppose

>cinnamon rolls too good for this world
JESUS CHRIST GO BACK TO TUMBLR

don't shitpost in /ss/ threads if you can help it, thanks

CC of VA, I would give this plate all of my love and passion. (3/3)

Did I trigger you?

sheeeeeit

I never knew I wanted a lewd plate until now

M from Australia here. P I got your card today. Watashi is absolutely adorable! I love the card, thank you so much! When I was taking a picture my bird decided to hop onto the card sorry.


Also, Annie from Australia thanks for sending the card back, I really deeply apologise for this mix-up.

JB from WA, Australia, I've sent out your correct Christmas card now so it should arrive within a few days.

>migrants from tumblr should be encouraged to participate in Sup Forums's /ss/ without first adapting to the board culture
>the massive influx of crossboarders and offsite people isn't a problem
Because there definitely wasn't an uptick in grinching this year, and nobody received uniquely shitty presents, right? I can't imagine how having more people participate who aren't familiar with the customs could be related to either of those things.

I'm happy to see all of the FAGs people have been getting from their Secret Santas. Make sure you build them soon, it would be cruel to keep them locked in their boxes for too long

>people are only capable of using and adapting to one website or board at a time
Do people seriously think this way? I thought this was a joke.
I use and have used about 10 boards on this site pretty much every day. Do you not?

Internationalfags, you should be getting your CDs no later than next week.

Cute birb.

The key word there is "adapting to." I've never seen that "cinnamon roll" meme anywhere besides things that came from tumblr. Bringing it into Sup Forums isn't adaptation in the slightest sense.

>Because there definitely wasn't an uptick in grinching this year
Wait until new years to report grinching
> nobody received uniquely shitty presents
Ban Toronto
These problems have existed for a while and it's just a potential consequence of participating.

Do you seriously get that triggered over a single phrase?

How do you know there's more grinching this year if we still don't have stats for last year?

>only use the words I like!
You're being kind of a fag

not them but it's either a lack of respect for board culture or lack of understanding. either way it's not really acceptable, like when /po/ brings their shitfest everywhere
not enough to be furious, but enough to let user know for next time imo

It came from an article from The Onion, what the fuck

>Ban Toronto
why is this being pushed so hard? a little unfair that an entire capital get punished for some shitheads

It's indicative of a larger trend. Soon enough, we won't even be able to say things like without offsite migrants complaining. If you don't think it's a problem, you're blind. The replacement of "normalfag" with "normie," and with "fag" in all sorts of other instances with "friend" (i.e. "drawfag" -> "drawfriend") is an example of exactly the same thing.
An article from The Onion which got popular on Tumblr to describe a certain type of character. I can almost guarantee that user didn't pick up that phrase directly from The Onion.

Drawfriend has been a thing for years. Also, the drawthreads are like a microcosm of the board.

I think it's kind of funny that every user becomes a behavioral psychologist when this topic comes up

You're the worst poster in here right now

If you want to improve /ss/, you should consider closing the tab

What cheapish nippers would you recommend? Also what cheapish starter kit would you recommend? I don't think a fag would be a good kit to learn on... just too much at risk I think

some of the cards mentioned a drawfriendbooru, and what a wasteland those are

/toy/ has a good guide for this
docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1Tr8UyF2Xg5Ojqw0sxcO7oIG7IIsJPes3lMO5pHZKu5o

Which indicates that it's been happening for years, which everyone already knows.
>t. defensive tumblrfag
I don't want to improve /ss/, I want to improve Sup Forums as a whole.

For practice, get a HG Gundam kit from a series you don't care about, so you don't care about making mistakes. You should be able to find one for $10.

Honestly though, it's less for "practice" than for realizing how easy modern plamo kits are, so you can be more relaxed about building your FAG

Thanks for the card JR of CA, it's really cute!

Mate fuck off, I've been here for about 11 years, things change, words change, it's a Secret Santa thread and you're getting into an arse because people use fag less and mention cinnamon rolls.

Get a grip on life and stop being so joyless, that shit's boring man who cares.

I thought 9-10 pages in a week was pretty good for everyone being busy with family. That's what, ~180-200 pics?

Me on the far right

My complaint is the number of times the tag "tagme" is used, is roughly the same as the number of images on the drawfriends booru

What use is a "I'm FOO on drawfriendsbooru", when literally nothing is tagged with that bit of info

>When I was taking a picture my bird decided to hop onto the card sorry.
It's incredibly cute, though.

Oh, then please consider closing your life.

Reposting

Thanks again BC from MA! I'm really happy to at least get this for Christmas. I hope you liked your card too!

Ps
I love you too

32,000 and 75,000 are nowhere near each other, and the majority of tagme images are still from the pre-booru rars. Artists tag their own images if they want a name, having no results is on them. Requesters a shit who don't tag except for bragging rights. Perhaps if the booru wasn't banned from threads more passing users would tag, but as it is almost everything is diligently uploaded every day of the year, if you know when a request/drawing was made then it's not hard clicking back to find it.

Which board's booru are you comparing it to? Some of them are lucky if anyone uploads something once a month, and it's usually off-thread porn.

Maybe next year I'll muster the courage to sign up for this ;_;

It's getting worse, and this year there was plenty enough proof. Please jsut sign for cards at most.

We need new management next year
The new helpers are fucking shit up

>It's getting worse

Well, this year some lucky anons got presents from Tattun directly, tehy even got some LWA rare cards.

What do you think they cocked up?

I had the best time this year so stop being doom and gloom.

How does the anti grinching works?
did anyone get anything from the people who signed up to send presents to grinched people?
I've never gotten anything in four years so i'm starting to think it's more of a "peace of mind" thing than anything

last year I was grinched and reported it. I was assigned an ungrincher. I thought they grinched me too, but at that point I didn't care.

An extra present arrived at christmas time. Guess they contacted santa to see if my address was the same

Well, for starters, at least one person was sent the wrong wishlist

I was told that my gift won't be shipped until after New Years. I don't really mind, since I'm not grinched in the end. At least I made my giftee happy this year.

Finally made it home. Looks like I got some CDs from a mystery user, thanks!
Haven’t received any cards yet (0/5), but I will dutifully check my mailbox every day until hope starts to fade away mid-January.

Mistakes happen yes, but I think the biggest problems (grinching, or being sent unwanted junk) come from the people participating.

It usually doesn't work because the organizers stop checking their emails and stop giving a shit.

I signed anyways in hopes I might help at least one user.

A lot of the grinchposters may be trolls trying to make the event look bad, samefags repeatedly posting about it, and gun jumpers who have gifts coming late. I'd wait for official statistics from the organizers before saying it's worse (in regards to grinching anyway).

Last year, I signed up for the anti-grinch squad but never received an assignment for it. I think they had some issues with it then. Hopefully it's sorted out this year.

>and this year there was plenty enough proof
What, you mean the people going "I'M GOING TO GRINCH"? Or the people going "GUYS I WAS GRINCHED!"?
That shit happens every year, and this year it was no more voluminous than any other year. Get that shit out of here if you can't cite actual grinch stats.

The guy who got the zelda junk was sent something from the anti grinch squad.

So I'd say the sooner it's caught and reported, the higher the chance of you getting something.

>this year there was plenty enough proof
Where? Until the statistics for this year are released then there is no proof. It's easy for one or two fags who didn't get their gifts to samefag and make it sound like Armageddon.

JR from CA, your card just arrived today. Thank you!

I don't hang out in many KS threads these days, so the footfag stuff doesn't happen much anymore.

Keep working on that art, I'll keep an eye out for your cards in next years thread to see how you've improved.

Also, it was 30°F here today, so the chocolate was already frozen when I got it out of the mail box. Merry Christmas!

My city does a forced everything-closed on the 26th, real smart.

Way to send the boxing day sale dollars elsewhere... (there are a couple nice places with malls close by)

As others have mentioned, untill we have statistics for this year I'd have to call bull. There's always people who say they grinch or people who prematurely say they got grinched when shit could be arriving late. Last year the organizers said not to consider being grinched until at least the first. Saying there's more grinches this year until there's stats is an overreaction.

Sorry to reply so late! Nothing came in the mail today, either. I assume you're the same user that asked what the first number in the address was right? And the one who's been asking if I've gotten my card yet in the past few threads besides the last one?

With all these "grinching" I'm now curious about those statistics. Does anyone have statistics for past years?

No, but the grinch rate averages 3-4% every year.

The ones from last year aren't out IIRC, the year before that have been posted and it was around 7%. Some other user will probably have them and post them.

Last years was posted earlier this year around signups. Grinch rate last year was 3%.

...

>Dat Gaussian distribution

>2015

Shiet then it was even lower than I remembered. Point still stands that grinch rate is pretty low. People saying they're higher a re a little fast to jumping he gun as it's not even new years and the Santas haven't even said to start reporting yet.

user thank you so much. I love Kyohime as well and was really happy you chose her. I really liked Dragon Maid, and the whole idea of a Dragon hime type and I like her Yandere personality. Thank you so much, Merry Christmas.

Wow, that looks very beautiful.

user thank you so much for this card. Yes I am a faggot for you. I would love to have beer and pizza, I don't drink anymore though so I would have to get a Dr Pepper. I don't think I have ever been to Ellensberg so I think I know where I am going to camp next summer. 20 years of living here and I have tried to go all over. I love the Sakura Fish/ Christmas Tree combo that was funny.

if your gift arrives late eventually, will you be taken off the grinch blacklist

your city is ran by brainlets

Thanks you so much user for the dumb god plush and Kurumi nendo.

user! Greetings from America, I am super honored that you sent what you did and even more honored that you sent it all the way from the other side of the Earth. The Russian souvenir is really cool, the castle looks like Illyas mansion. I would love to know the history behind it but regardless I will cherish it always. Thank you for putting Sagiri on the card. I chose Sagiri and Fate because I do like them but knew anons would roast me too. So thank you for taking the time to make that.

I feel so warm and fuzzy knowing that it was appreciated.

I'll have to send you an email address. There are some pretty nice /out/ings to be had in this part of the state (example pictured). I barely drink.

i should join one of these next year and get rid of the figmas i dont want.

Another Washingtonfag here. The western half, and the cascades are fantastic, but don't go bragging too much, we have too many out-of-staters here already.

user, I don't know what to say other than thank you so very much. This is epic. My wives favorite character is Bro-skander, and she basically melted when she saw it. I have been doing this for years and I am never short of amazement for the ideas that people come up with. With international shipping included I am so impressed that you put all that together. Warmest thanks and wishes from America and Merry Christmas.

>that damegami plush
Why do I have to have a soft spot for retard girls?

That coin is awesome. I don't know if it was intentional but it really does look like Illyas castle.

¿ɐıןɐɹʇsnɐ oʇ ǝʌoɯ noʎ pıp uǝɥʍ

Thats gorgeous, I used to live in Republic and have great memories there, of Spokane and some of the other places there like Omak and Colville. That picture looks great and we already checked if the pass was open or not lol.

LS from WA, it's your Sup Forumsnon again, please post your card ;_;

JK from FL, through some sort of Christmastime miracle, USPS says that your card was delivered to your mailbox at 1:41 PM! P-Please post it ;_;

If you do this, please request to be paired with someone who wants them

user I got this about a week ago, so I am late with my thank you. That is upsetting to me but its how it worked out, so I'm sorry I didn't get this post out sooner. Thank you so much, I love the Sagiri picture. Fate is kinda shit, and I am the kind of masochist who will run up a credit card bill to get a retarded dick wizard and still feel completely happy and justified paying it back. That being said I knew anons were funny, and so I chose Sagiri and Fate because I knew you guys would be fans or would have a hilarious take down making fun of me. One year for v/a/lentines I got a picture of Miki Hoshii being bukkaked and since then that humor is something I love. Thank you so much for taking time of out your day to write to me. Merry Christmas and a great 2018 to you user.

user I got this the same day as so I am also sorry for not posting sooner. I am very busy and have 4 children I provide Christmas for but that isn't an excuse. Time and stress etc took it out of me this year and I should have just powered through it instead of going shopping 10 times and jumping through all these hoops.

That being said thank you so very much. Anons are always so creative with their cards it makes me smile when I get sometthing like this. The felt tail was amazing, I pressed YES to touch fluffy tail and I loved it. Mikon~! To you too user, and mad love to you back. I hope you had a great Christmas this year, and got everything you wanted. I hope that you have a great 2018 and know that in my heart I am pulling for all those anons who sent me cards, to have so much success and good times in 2018.

Don't worry Aussie user, I'll be home tomorrow and I'll post the gift

Thank you so much! Can you tell me your initials so I can send a thank you card? I mixed up all my envelopes by accident just like how my pet knocked down my external hd and lost all my anime in the first place.

The DVD is holy unexpected. Thank you for being so generous. Do you have all the lightnovels yet? Do you need any of the old translated pdf either? I have extras, I'd love to thank you with.

I'm actually pretty silly. I gave you a return address.
You can shoot me an email at [email protected] if you care to visit and want some comp/a/ny.

My final card is an true omake. So this story can be green text it is so good.

This whole ordeal was like a Charles Dickens story for the modern age and I will gladly tell my grandchildren about it. It was the spirit of Christmas and a testament to the good nature of user and has shattered my somewhat jaded worldview of human behavior. What user did was heroic and honorable and I will keep this card always like I did the last one. Thank you all for such a merry christmas.
