Secret Santa/EOT Party In-Fo-May-Shun (DEADLINE UPDATE; PLEASE READ)

Info about the EoT/Secret Santa Party, later today. 

Time & Location: The party will be around 1 1/2ish hours before closing - and closing is normally around 7pm EDT, so plan on about 5:30pm EDT. This is subject to change. If you see that the subject line has changed to add "Time Update," you'll know it's changed, and you can check the thread. It'll be held at my house: 2110 Tonga Trips quarter, Kajuu. 

Participants of Secret Glisanta: All of the remaining mail was sent out yesterday (and I'm very sorry for the delay). So everyone should have their giftee in the mail. Lots of people have expressed worry about being too late to send in a gift - never fear. The deadline is an hour before the party - so in this case, most likely 4:30pm EST. If you miss that deadline, you can simply give the gift at the party, it just won't be officially handed out by the SG team ;) Many of the presents were gift bags, and even if yours isn't, it will be put in a bag, so please, come with an open bottom inventory space.

If you can't make it: We'll still hand out the gift you sent in. However, in regards to the one being given to you: Since the majority of presents are in bags, it's going to be difficult to mail them. However, I plan to store all of the remaining presents, and if you miss the party, you can catch me online next test and come pick yours up. 

Everyone is invited, regardless of whether you signed up for Secret Santa.

Hope you can make it!

UPDATE: Well, I SAID the deadline would be 4:30, but that came and went and I don't have all the presents. So, I'm extending it to 5:25 - right before the party starts. Please, send in your gifts.

  • Sorry I couldn't stay for the party -- it looked like a fabulous spread!! Count me in for the next one (and hopefully I won't have to be picking someone up at the hospital).

    ETA: Thanks to Shexy and Brib for the video and photo. Man, that conga line looks like fun ... especially the leaps off the balcony.

  • @Fokian, that was really kind of you! I appreciate the sentiment either way. I think what happened was that I let someone borrow it at the last EOTW party and completely forgot to get it back. I don't remember who I loaned it to either, so I'm gonna have to buy another one. XD

    Ya know, we should try to make this a regular thing. Start a fund to pay for party favors and have various Glitches volunteer to host the party or bring food or snacks, at least until the Beta ends and the game goes live.

  • But the thing is, LitaPie, it IS a regular thing - people always come forward and volunteer to host. Some people try to organize it, so everyone takes turns hosting, but IMHO it's better if people as a group decide where they want to go (and I know, hypocritical of me, since I spent a week putting together Secret Glisanta - but that's something people agreed to sign up for and show up for, and often parties are spur-of-the-moment), because you feel less forced to go to one place. Also, re: funds...that would be nice sometimes, when it gets really expensive, like this did, but usually it's not so bad, and it's kinda satisfying to do it yourself. Could just be mne being a control freak, though. :)

  • Thanks, Cupcake, for handling all of this! I'm pretty sure my giftee got their bag because they friended me after. :) Still sorry to have missed the party.  The sneak peek I got when I dropped the bag off in your house looked like an awesome spread!

  • Sorry I couldn't be at party, but I did send gift along earlier! Hope it was passed on :)

  • I actually meant specifically for the Secret Glisanta idea. But you're right, the spur-of-the-moment parties are so much fun. And also, you aren't a control freak in the least. I'd say it's your... attention to detail that made this such a swimming success. XD
