Isn't it time to start our yearly stalking? The ILF secret santa is an institution, and my economical situation last year prohibited me from participating. Not this year! Despite lack of money I still have an abundance of time, and we need this secret santa this year more than ever (possibly?).
Lets start with a roll call. Lets set a preliminary deadline for 4th of october, 11 october that is next next Sunday.
Send an email to ILFSS2020@gmail.com with you forum handle in the subject bar and include
ILF handle
Real name
Shipping address
Phone number
Shipping preferences (This one is EXTRA important this year. Covid might restrict things, so please find our local guidelines or trade war related shit perhaps. Otherwise, EU/US or whatever preferred and I will do my absolute best to accommodate you)
Preferred date to receive your gift (if you plan longer holidays around the holidays or whatever)
Can you play vinyl records? CDs? Cassettes? Downloads?
Here are the very important RULES (copied from CBS excellent santana-ing last year)
If you want to participate, these are the rules:
1. Don't be an asshole.
2. ILF Management will review all applicants for rule 1 compliance.
3. Minimum post count of 500. If you don't have 500 posts, it's way too difficult to chose a meaningful/rad gift for you. You can try again next year! I am prepared to make exceptions for cool people, but I have to know you or have someone I trust vouch for you. It sucks but we have had dropouts in years past and it's always really sad.
Also to everyone participating, POST MORE in the run-up to Christmas so you can be stalked. Doesn't have to be you writing down a shopping list but let the person stalking you get to know who you are and what flavour of pickled herring you like!
4. What should be in the package (guideline):
A pedal or musical apparatus with a minimum value of $100, used or new.
A piece of recorded music. Your own or something you think the recipient should hear.
Swag of other kinds. Do check out previous threads, if you can't find them then WHY YOU SIGNING UP STALKING IS THE POINT. Use that broken ass ILF search function and find out good things
Remember it's not about cost it's about love and thoughtfulness. The guideline minimum value is so nobody feels too completely short changed, but if you get someone something that you have put a lot of thought into and really suits them I'm sure they'll love it even if it cost $22.
5. Presents must reach their destination in time to be opened by Christmas (obviously this will never happen 100% but please try!).
6. Failure to send a gift will result in Ban Hammering. The Management does not enjoy that, you will not enjoy that. And remember, we know where you live.
I will send a receipt email to every successful application. If you haven't received one for a day or two after sending in your email, PM me.
