Happy Holidays! Usually around this time of year, we're gearing up for Dirty Santa! We thought, however, that it might be more balanced to follow our kind of charity theme and do a Prezzies for Players giveaway instead. Here's how each would work:

<b><u>Dirty Santa:</u></b> You can ONLY PLAY if you submit a gift (multiple gifts in the form of a bundle are ok!) worth at least $x USD or y gems as a present! Items like event prizes, donation rewards, pre-purchased YCH commissions from someone off site, or some gemstore rewards are encouraged. Not sure? Just ask! Any event items EVEN PREVIOUSLY NON-TRANSFERRABLE ONES (Player bound/Character bound) are able to be submitted! Staff usually throws in a special prize or two as well!

The presents are randomized and we take turns picking or "stealing" gifts.
To preserve feelings, we unwrap the gifts at the end of two rounds of picking/stealing.
Everyone "unwraps" their gifts and then yay presents!

<u>The possible issues:</u>
Some complaints have been that the gifts may feel unbalanced, others say it's part of the game.
We do this every year and some people like to do different things.

<b><u>Prezzies for Players:</u></b> You can ONLY PLAY if you submit a gift (multiple gifts in the form of a bundle are ok!), but there is no/lower minimum! Items like event prizes, donation rewards, pre-purchased YCH commissions from someone off site, or some gemstore rewards are encouraged. Not sure? Just ask! Any event items EVEN PREVIOUSLY NON-TRANSFERRABLE ONES (Player bound/Character bound) are able to be submitted! Staff may throw in a special prize or two as well!

In this, all the presents are collected, then the Staff makes the bundles.
These bundles are randomized and given back to players.
Players unwrap and get their gifts!

<u>The possible issues:</u>
Staff would be in control of the bundles, making them as even as possible.
Some people may still give less than they receive.
It's new and some people don't like new things.



So, we wanted to ask you guys what you thought! Feel free to leave suggestions below, but please try to vote on one or the other if at all possible! Only one vote per player, please use your OOC account when voting!
