Secret Santas!!

[mir]

Or whatever holdiday you celebrate - in our secular school this is called "Hidden Homies".

So, i thought this might be a really fun thing to do as the holidays are approaching (or, in the case of Hannukah, already here! )

If anybody goes for the idea - each person is assigned a "hidden homie". The person they are assigned will not know who their homie is, but they will have their own assignment to a person. You send PMs to your hidden homie with clues about who you are. Since on LitNet there is no way to hide your username (i think), you will probably want to ask another person to send the PM, with clues that you make up. This would have to go pretty quick - but if everybody can try to spread the idea around, hopefully we can get out the first clues by Christmas day. Then, you can send however many more clues you want - but a week or two later (whatever people think would be a good amount of time, though everybody should agree so everybody finds out their "hidden homie" on the same day), you send a PM revealing who you are. In my school, you would give gifts with this last message - but since we're working electronically here, you could just send a cool picture, or something else - be creative!

Anyways - anybody up for the idea?

neat idea mir I like it

[Pensive]

It seems fun, mir!

Some questions:

Can we have more than one "homie"?

And maybe, a lot of people are having the same "homie"? Is it okay? Or are you going to assign people by yourself???

[mir]

Ok - i probably am not going to be able to orchestrate this personally, as i am leaving for a week in a few days. but, the way it usually goes is each person has one "homie", i think. it should work out that things go in a circle, and everybody has a homie and is a homie.

But yes, one person should assign all the hidden homies and know who everybody's is.

[Nightshade]

and this person would in essence be in control??

Use someone you trust- someone who keeps secrets. (Of other people, not just himself, ROBIN...)

See if someone here will do it.

OK! Good idea!

Let's see . . .

hmm, Night seems a bit too eager to hold the power.

But - how about whoever gets in the fastest post saying they want to orchestrate?

[toni]

Wow! Count me in! Sounds like fun!!

[Scheherazade]

If no one else volunteers, I don't mind keeping a track of the PMs and Secret Santas. I already know waaaaayyy too much!

[mir]

Well - since Lain didn't register interest - Scher, i guess you get the post!

so, if you don't understand the rules, just PM me. otherwise - PM as many people as you can who you think would play, and if they agree, assign them a homie! thanks scher! if you need help, i'll still be here for a few more days.

[toni]

Hey, Im sure Lain would want to join too! Count her as In! Yay!!

[dramasnot6]

It all sounds fun! Do we pick our homie?

[Scheherazade]

Well - since Lain didn't register interest - Scher, i guess you get the post!

Whoohoooooo!!!!!!!

otherwise - PM as many people as you can who you think would play, and if they agree, assign them a homie!

I think instead of PMing everyone, I will ask them to send me their clues if they are interested (to save time).

It all sounds fun! Do we pick our homie?

No, I will be assigning the homies once I get the full list of people who are interested in the game.

Dear LitNet-ians,

If you would like to take part in our Secret Santa game, please PM me the clues about your identity (at least 3, please) by December 25th.

Once I receive your PMs, I will pass them onto your assigned 'homies' one by one.

Thank you!

[Laindessiel]

I'd be glad to orchestrate this game but Scher beat me to it! But it's alright...Scher is the Ultimate Administrator! (No offense to Logos and Chris )

I'd join, Scher! I'll PM you. Though I think that only the females are interested...

You got me singing with your new signature...

And by the way, do we get to know immediately who our Homies are?
