Vote for who you'd like to run the Secret Santa **Congrats redjen910!**

You have one week to post in here that you want to do it. Then I'll make a poll and y'all can vote who you want.

Please only put your name down if you know a decent number of the people around here. You may be the most trustworthy person ever in the world but if no one here really knows you then it probably wouldn't be the best thing.

So anyway put your name down, reasons you'd like to do it, why you should be picked, at least 5 references, your drivers license number, paypal account....nah I'm just kidding. Just throw your name in, lol.
and the nominees are:
arjunsr (18)
40%
redjen910 (22)
49%
w3kn (5)
11%

I think this is a great idea! It might be harder with 2 people running the SS but it may also be a lot easier to have someone sharing the workload, guess you never know for sure until you try!
I think if there were two people running SS the only way for that to really work would be just divide the list in half from the start. 20 names is not as time consuming as 40, at least I would think so.

Depends who you ask Wink
Some people are just more well known because they have way more time to goof off online and PW.

Me too. IIRC last year we had sign-ups in October. I think Autumn sent PMs the first week of November and you had until the first week of December to buy and mail your gift. We're not behind yet.
Well, some Loungers are behinds

Iagree


It shouldn't come down to a popularity contest. Autumn, Schooby, or someone, should just name a successor and if that successor needs help then they could ask someone that they know and trust.
It needs to be voted on by the loungers IMHO.

Just an opinion...I think you (collective you) should find out all of the people who would like to run it, make a poll, let people vote (hopefully they will not make it a popularity contest and just vote on who they think will have the time and dedicated attention to run it) and then get it going. Whip Oops I mean...in my opinion. Smilie

Maybe even give a deadline for when people have to speak up if they are interested. Smilie

That's what I did in the OP. I said people one week from the day the thread was made (So Oct 4th) to post they wanted to run it and then I'll make a poll and people can vote.

Cause Vec...I'm not gonna choose. I'm not stepping in that pile of drama. It wouldn't matter who I picked, people would find some way to say I played favorites. laugh out loud Plus people have said before they'd like to vote when we have a new one so we're having a vote.
