I'm in too, this year!

I think I should get to registering on the GOG wiki at some point, but till then, here's my wishlist:

$ 9.99:
- Gothic
- Far Cry
- Prince of Persia (2008)
- To the Moon
- Carmageddon 2

$ 5.99:
- Arx Fatalis
- I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream

That should be enough :)
(edit: Another one added)
(edit 2:Heretic Kingdoms is out now, sorry!)

I would be in, but the idea of being stuck behind a computer all day on Christmas sending email messages for everybody's game if you get stuck being Secret Santa is just not something I would want to be doing.
If you want it to be a Secret Santa it would be easier for everybody to create a free email account and send their gift that way...

I don't think it'll take all day and I think everybody would be okay if the games show up in your inbox a day or two later ;)
That said, kudos to the Secret Santa (I presume nmillar will do it?).

None of the participants will be tasked with distributing gift codes, that's going to be taken care of by nmillar or xyem - read the instructions carefully.
As a participant, all you'd have to do on Christmas day is redeem your gift code and be thankful for what you got.


EDIT: Grrr, erratic forum behavior.

As you can tell I did very poorly in English Composition. I still will feel very badly for xyem, nmillar, or whoever is stuck sending the gifts out. If anyone else read the post the same way as me, perhaps these clarifications will get them off the sidelines and contribute.
So, I guess I am in. Will have to remember to post my wishlist later.

Wishlist:
Settler's 3
Settler's 4
Age of Wonders 2 - The Wizard's Throne
Praetorians
Expeditions: Conquistador
Empire Earth 3
Wing Commander - Academy
Wing Commander - Armada
Wing Commander - 5 Prophecy
Postal: Classic
IL-2 Sturmovik - 1946
Galactic Civilizations
Commando's Ammo Pack
Commando's 2+3

We had 74 participants last year, and it took about 2 hours to send all the gifts out. I've also got a secret helper this year who's doing some coding to help streamline the process. :)

Secret helper? An elf ? You're more and more becoming a regular Santa Claus :-)

NameGoo: I'm in to give only, if possible. My wishlist is pretty bare this year.

nmillar: Yep, that's fine. We did the same last year for a few people. :)
I'm in then. Thanks, to you and your helpers, for organizing this again.
And we're up to 33!
Bump!
I've been trying to cut back on expenses and after my laptop died I realized I was spending too much on video games. So, I haven't been coming to gog (too many great games on sale) or making dvd covers for gogs (just makes me want the games even more). But I want to spread some holiday cheer around so I'm in :)

Okay, here's my wishlist...

$2.99
Wizardry 6+7
I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream
Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude (how bad could it be?)

$4.99
Wizardry 8
Omikron: The Nomad Soul
Carmageddon 2: Carpocalypse Now

$5.99
Heretic Kingdoms: The Inquisition

$9.99
Avadon 2: The Corruption

I would have picked more games at the 2.99 price point but I like to play RPGs and I already have most of the RPGs on here.

There is one question I've been meaning to ask: Assuming that GOG Secret Santa 2013 begins on December 14th, what is our deadline for sending the gift codes to the yet-to-be-provided e-mail address?

The ultimate deadline would be December 24th, but ideally a few days beforehand to allow time to ensure the gifts reach their correct destinations and that any extra gifts can be bought in case somebody doesn't show up / is unable to participate.

EDIT: Let's go crazy and actually set a deadline. How's December 21st sound? That gives everyone a week to do their gift buying and I'll still have 3 days at the end to do any chasing / make sense of this logistical nightmare!

Not sure on the email address at the moment. Last year everything ended up being done by PM.

I really liked the last year's idea of a Secret Santa, so I would like to participate.

Will add my wishlist to this post later on.
