Secret Santa 2016 - OPENING GIFTS!

[sethk_]

Okay, I just need to do one last thing and then mine should be ready to ship out : >

[nubbinator]

I only have six confirmed shipped as of today.  I should have more than that since I know about half of those confirmed shipped are in the same country and today is the last day for international shipping.

Remember to input your shipping information into the tracking form.  I want to make sure everyone gets their stuff in time for the solstice.

[Halverson]

You got my form right? Filled it yesterday

[ghostjuggernaut]

Wanted to verify you got my info.

[nubbinator]

Yup to both.

[pexon]

Mine is going out with DHL Express with 1-2 day delivery, so I apologize for not getting mine out as of yet

[sethk_]

Mine is going out Tuesday as long as something comes Monday, I just need to wait for the last thing to come

[do_Og@n]

Excited to get mine.

[Sed8op8]

Uggggh I shipped out the first part of my gift but unfortunately the custom gift(the one with the most meaning) I ordered wasn't going  to make it until the 3rd week in june so I changed the address to the persons house instead of me receiving it then having to ship out again. So now my gift is coming in 2 parts

Same.

Better than nothing

[nubbinator]

Yeah, trying to get a 2 Chainz rap action figure made probably wasn't the best idea; however, who could resist after seeing Ghostface Killah

[nubbinator]

Alright, I only have 11/29 (38%) of the packages as confirmed shipped with 9 of those having arrived.  Remember, all packages must be shipped by this Saturday.

[sethk_]

By this Saturday, I thought it was Sunday? Anyways, I have everything I need at this point, so I will be buying my tracking number soon

[Halverson]

Nubs, do we have a public list to see whose gifts have shipped/arrived?

[nubbinator]

Nubs, do we have a public list to see whose gifts have shipped/arrived?

I don't know if everyone has supplied info in the shipping info in the form I posted, but here's the recipients I have so far:

• CPTBadAss - delivered
• ghostJUGGERNAUT - delivered
• flyersfan1 - delivered
• noisyturtle - delivered
• do_Og@n - delivered
• SYnjin - delivered
• FoC_Tow - delivered
• DrHubblePhD - delivered
• Skuloth - one delivered, one
• HoffmanMyster - delivered
• feizor - delivered
• Asdfjkl36 - delivered
• Zeal - delivered
• PwnNarwal - delivered
• Moralless - delivered
• binge - delivered - Pics posted!
• Hellcatz - should be delivered
• billnye - delivered
• Cottonsox - In transit
• pexon - In transit
• azhdar - In transit, arrival date of June 18th
• sed8op8 - In transit, set to arrive on Friday.
• nubbinator - finished, shipping soon
• BadWrench - the special little something is supposed to arrive tomorrow and the package will be shipped quickly after it arrives.
• booper - stated they're running a little behind and it will ship in 1-2 weeks, but that it will be awesome.
• Joey Quinn - waiting on a special something to arrive that's taking longer than expected.  Will let me know when it arrives and package ships
• Halverson - shipping this week
• Rotaku - still waiting on an update
• strafe - still waiting on an update, you got someone who's reliable, so they're probably just swamped right now

I'm about to send out a mass PM since there are a ton of people who did not give shipping confirmation.

Edit:  And PMs sent.  I'm really hoping most people just forgot to input the tracking info since that's almost 60% of the participants who haven't given tracking info.  I already think one person bailed even though they received something, so I hope we don't have a bunch of problems this time.

Edit 2: Still waiting for update on 8 more, which is ~30% of participants.

[sethk_]

I have the tracking info printed out, as well as label, USPS hasn't picked it up. I will be missing the grand opening as I will be in Europe, and mine hasn't arrived, so I will try not to look at the thread until then

[Halverson]

Thanks for the list nubs!

[nubbinator]

Updated list again.  Still waiting on some kind of update for four people. 

[nubbinator]

List has been updated again.  Waiting for a response on three more.  Please don't leave me hanging people.

I'm 100% sure that's the best idea.

If I was better at making things my idea would've been the best. I still made said object but I'd like to give it another shot and mail v2.0 to my giftee.

[nubbinator]

Ohh, that's a really pretty shade of blue.

[Binge]

Ohh, that's a really pretty shade of blue.

I'd be happy to send you a sample and share this love.  It is a very capable sapphire.

That blue goes well with the color of the caps in the background of the first picture.

Ok, updated the status list again.  A couple of people are having me worried.

[CPTBadAss]

Wait...are we not waiting until the 21st to open these packages? 'Cause I definitely got mine today and I'm chomping at the bit to rip it open!

[Skuloth]

Binge may have opened the flood gates, cause I'm really curious whats in these boxes as well xD

[nubbinator]

Well, technically you're supposed to wait, but I don't think 2 Chainz would do anything to the bad little boys and girls who open it early and post pics.

[Rotaku]

Meanwhile, there's been no update on my package ;-;

[Binge]

I am the WORST.

[do_Og@n]

OH damn...mine neeeeeds to be opened.

[Booper]

Whaaat!? We're supposed to wait!! Don't open your packages yet people!!!

[Badwrench]

OH damn...mine neeeeeds to be opened.

[do_Og@n]

OH damn...mine neeeeeds to be opened.

I'm hoping that what I'm afraid happened didn't happen with you.  If it did, I'll out them and scrounge something up for you.  I won't be able to do anything like I got my summer santa since everything hit hard at once, but it will be something you should be happy with.  In the meantime, I continue to hope I'm wrong.

Count me in as well 

[nubbinator]

And I figured I'd share my mixtape.  So if you got a mixtape and haven't figured who your santa is yet, don't listen.

I called it Ringside (but not on the tape) since it's all about right hooks and heavy beats.  Lyricism is lacking on some of the songs, but I wanted something that flowed and had some crazy beats throughout.


Inb4 demik mocking the playlist.

alt link in case the first doesn't work.

The use of dark-side .gifs and my lack of self control say OTHERWISE, but rly peepl... decide on your own

I am in Europe, I will be back next week ;_;

Wow, I honestly thought I was going to be left out if no one does do anything! (looking at you reddit). Thanks guys so much! I really can't appreciate all of you enough, and you guys make the community as great as it is.

I would never let that happen and it's good to see others wouldn't either.  Look back a few pages for the person who got screwed over during the Secret Santa.  I made sure they got a decent little package.

[iamtootallforthis]

Looking forward to seeing all the pictures! Wasn't able to participate this time, but I will for sure the next time around.

Santa- I have spent a day studying this secret message you have left me on the outside of the package. After many attempts I have been unable to understand the message. Please help me

I figured it out. You need to drink more sizzurp just like 2chainz in order to read that.
