Secret Gift Exchange
[/b][/size][/font]With the holidays coming up, we of NFRP understand the joys of giving and receiving gifts from your friends and family. As such, we will be hosting our own Secret Gift Exchange. Across the world, religions and cultures celebrate several holidays in which gifts are given to either everyone or to specific people. Not to mention the ever popular Birthday. But considering the mass of holidays this time of year that revolve around that, we will be hosting a Secret Gift Exchange.
For those who aren't sure how such a thing works, I'll be happy to explain! Each person will be receiving the name of another character on site. Think of it IC as your character chose to participate in a world wide gift exchange for the coming Holidays. After a little while, you receives a note with the name of another person somewhere in the world. You are then asked to pay for an item that will be given to this person. In the note lists 3 items the person wants. You can choose from this list or choose something completely different.
With your gift sent off to the person who you were picked to give to, you receive a package a few days later with your own gift in it, the gift that another person has given you. They can include a message if they'd like, even going so far as to tell you their name. Or they can just send the gift to you and keep you guessing. All of this being said, Your character can now, IC, attempt to hunt down the person they gave a gift to and see how they like it. Or if money was sent to help them buy the very gift they wanted, to see if they got it. But no locations will be given, so you'd have to search for them yourselves.
Any and all people of NFRP are welcome to participate, and you can participate on any and all accounts that you have! This allows for those who, like me, have 10 accounts, can participate with 10 different people! But before we go into this further, lets go over a few rules to make sure everyone is on the same page here.
- To sign up for the Gift Exchange, use the form at the bottom of this post. Failure to do so will result in you not participating. Filling it out makes it easy to give to the person who gets your name. So please fill it out.
- This event is on an account basis, so you can sign up with any or all of your accounts if you truly wish.
- Each person will be "given" 15,000 Ryo to spend on their gift. The reason for the quotation marks is that the remainder that is not spent won't be added to your account. You may also increase that amount by spending your own Ryo.
- Each person participating will receive the name of another participant along with the items they chose they wanted. Obviously, you can get them anything you'd like to get them. So this way, each person that participates will receive and give a gift.
- In the event that someone doesn't get a gift for someone, they won't receive one either. For example, Person A buys a gift for Person B, and Person C gets one for Person A, but Person B forgets to buy one, The gift that Person A bought for Person B would go to Person C instead.
- Due to the amount of time allowed for this, there is plenty of time to sign up and purchase gifts. To sign up, please fill out the form by Midnight on December 20th, MST. You will be sent a PM within a day or two after with the name of your person.
- At that time, you can PM This acccount *insert account link here* with the item you are purchasing. When you are sent the name of the person you are giving a gift to, a form will be given for you to fill out to make things easier. [Note: No questable items/rare or Nearly impossible herbs or animals]
- You have until Midnight on December 27th, MST to send the PM of what you are buying. Failure to do so will result in you not receiving a gift.
- Gifts MAY be resold to the shop, but standard shop rules apply. You will still only get 50% back for it. And in the spirit of the holidays, we ask that you don't sell it. Choose items you actually want, not items that you want because they cost a lot.
- If you don't want to buy a gift or can't buy something they want, then you may just give a bag of Ryo that has a specific amount so they can possibly buy it themselves with your help. [Note: You may give the entirety of the 15,000 Ryo to the person you chose if you truly wish]
- In the spirit of the holidays, we ask that you don't start revealing who is giving what to who. This is supposed to be fun and a surprise, so we ask that you keep it that way.
- Lastly... Have fun and enjoy the Spirit of the Holidays!
Please submit the following form in your post. You MAY combine multiple characters in one post, but I ask that you still submit one form for each one and that you don't remove any part of the form in the process.
[b]Member Name:[/b] Please keep this consistent between all accounts
[b]Character Name:[/b] The specific name of your actual character
[b]Account username:[/b] Please state the username that is used to log into the specific account
[b]Current Ryo:[/b] If at all during the sign up process this changes, please edit it.
[b]Information:[/b] List any and all things that might help your giver find an item that would suit you.
[b]Wish List:[/b] List three items below that you want. Please keep in mind the price. And since there is 15000 Free Ryo given, we ask that one of your gifts is 15,000 Ryo or less. No, 15,000 Ryo cannot be one of these and please pick three items. You may choose more, but not less.
