- Pier Solar and the Great Architects
- Gothic
- Memoria
- Nox
- Wizardry 6+7
- Agarest: Generations of War - Collector's Edition

trentonlf: Yes this has sadly occurred to me, but once Christmas has come and everyone has received their gifts there will be a giveaway called "The island of lost Games"
If you really wanted to ninja gift someone, you could always bribe Momo into sharing what gift the secret Santa got for a specific person, then you would know what games were still available to gift to that person. But that would mean corrupting Momo into siding with you and thus continuing to support your unfortunate gifting addiction. :-)

Hello, Crew! How's life as a T-Rex? :-)

I have not been as active this last week or so, due to me hiding from Hyper's bullying ;-). (He will deny it of course, but you can't trust him! How can you trust someone who doesn't like chocolate!?)

But seriously, I have had a few real life problems that took up much of my time, so I wasn't able to be online much. But it's all sorted now, hopefully. And it seems I returned just in time for the next trentonlf hunt. :-)

Well of course I was only joking, he is indeed a most kind-hearted and generous person. I'm sure he knows how highly regarded he is, and that diabolical was just a joke about his most unfortunate gifting illness.

I contemplated this, but as this is a secret Santa I did not want to ruin anyone's surprise or make anyone uncomfortable having to say what they bought. This awesome secret Santa idea gives everyone a chance to get into the spirit of Christmas giving and I don't want to cause any problems on that end :-)

I figured that's why you did not do it that way, which is very nice of you. Or maybe it was because Momo would have had to kill you once you knew who was who's secret Santa, to ensure you keep it a surprise for Christmas. She would not be able to risk you not gifting before Christmas day. :-)

In some ways it's a shame we will know who our gifts come from, it would be fun if it was left a mystery, with only our lovely hostess knowing the truth.

He tried, trust me. And he sent minions to try and convince me as well ;-p But I am the great and powerful OZ Santa and thwarted his extra-curricular gifting efforts by making him an early extra-special elf. Of course that did not stop him from retaliating with an attempt at multiple gifts thrown at my inbox;-p

Because I was asked about make a rule that all lists had to include lower priced games, I thought I'd publicly state my reasoning behind not including a lot of rules, even this one. Though I do ask that you TRY to include games in a range of price points....

I initially considered making it a rule to include lower priced games in lists but then reconsidered. There a more than a few people who can't find a single game in the lower price points, so enforcing a rule to get a game you don't really want did not make sense.

Actually I have given assignments based on the price range of a wishlist specifically for a the few peeps that have let me know they can't afford a lot. If any Secret Santa needs this option, please let me know and I'll do my best to sort the available lists based on that criteria - no harm/no foul since even one game makes a truly lovely gift.

And I also added the option to PM me if you couldn't afford a gift but still wanted to take part - I've assigned two extra-special elves so far ;-)

It's kind of difficult to accommodate everyone - I've tried to do it without adding a lot of "rules" but rather "solutions". If you need a solution, then just PM me and we'll figure it out ;-D

You can always look the other way when you are redeeming the gifts your secret Santa left your under the tree ;)

Life as a T-Rex is good. I get most anything I want out of sheer terror. However I can't reach this itch, and high-fives are near impossible.

I'm sorry you had so much going on, but I'm glad to hear that it's taken care and to see (?) you back on here. *hugs*! oh wait, i can't reach :( *stretches tiny arms in vain*

I bet it is hard with tiny arms, but at least you get to eat food on the toilet. ;-)

As for not being able to reach that itch, check the attached picture for your very own T-Rex back scratcher.

Well it wouldn't be Crewdroog without the pink bunny ears. :-)

I slightly altered it and included a new version below. I made it a square image instead of a rectangle, so GOG shouldn't trim the top of the ears off and made the black outline on the ears bolder. I also made a more avatar friendly version for you (too much spare time on my hands at the moment).
