What did i get myself into guys?

[BlueAltitude]

I just started a GCD secret santa
http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/gaia-community-discussion/gcd-secret-santa-2008-sign-ups-coming-soon-check-page-10/t.45125147_1/

mass chaos or should blue be alright and chill?  

[Neiina]

mass chaos. no doubt someone will not get something from their secret santa and they'll be crushed while someone else will gloat because they got something and didn't have to give anything in return :/ careful as you are it may just happen

I see there are people on the list twice or even three times, only 27 people? not very appropriate for the GCD because there are a TON of people on there :/

@___@ mm, so many things to worry about. have a small amount of people and know for sure that everything will be sent accordingly but then there's a chance that the thread may be moved because it only services to a small amount of GCD people. or have a large amount of people and risk something going wrong.

good luck blue! let me know if you need any help :]

Lol.
Massive chaos. No doubt.
In your underpants.  

[BlueAltitude]

Do you think I will have to worry about my account. Like I know that I am running this thing but what if someone doesnt give the item?  

[Karma v2]

If someone doesn't give an item, they don't get an item. Easy as that.

Sounds like a pretty insane project eek Just let us know if you need any help :3

Wtf. Why are people on there more than once? That's not really in good spirits for Christmas. Some people are just way too greedy. :/ That's why I never want to run one of those things.  

[lilartichoke]

You could make the "gifting" mule.
Have everyone send their gifts to that one, then you send them onto the person who is supposed to get it.

So you can monitor the giving and make sure people who get are also giving.

I think it's a nice thing for you to organize though.

The people that are on their more than once are giving more than one gift.

@Karma, thanks I need that. I am not responsible if they dont recieve a gift right?

@Lil- good suggestion but i cant. I am trying to keep away from the OMG YOUR GOING TO SCAM EVERYONE!
I dont want to have to go through that. This way I have no hand in the presents.

Make this really clear in the thread too, like huge font or something. Or could you not just send us the names of people to send gifts to ourselves? That way no suspicion can fall on you. You will have a master list of who is sending to who that you can consult if someone syas they are missing a gift.

Great idea though biggrin I hope it goes well

Will they get any more gifts? Because I'm still half-angryplzing.  

[Eriwain]

I am on the list twice because I have a bit of gold floating about. I will get two gifts, but I will also be sending gifts to two different people, which is fun biggrin
