Secret Santa is a time that really shows up how bad the phpBB forum is getting - searching someone's post history is a right pain when half the time clicking on the "Jump to post" button take you somewhere other than the post you wanted to see!

Me: Aaaaaah, so they like that?!
*click thread*

Takes me to a thread where some wants the item, but my victim already has one and is saying "Go for it"

Anyone else got postman anxiety? I've ordered my victim a couple of bits and now every time I see the post van outside, I'm looking to see if its what I've ordered :lol:

To be honest, I'd completely forgotten about this :lol:

Should probably get my finger out :toot:

Still researching my victim, I've got a few ideas down but haven't pulled the trigger on any purchases just yet.

I should probably be spending some time thinking about gifts for my actual family as well... :slol:

Hope everyone's research is coming along?

Just a reminder if you're stuck with ideas to give me a PM and I can poke your victim so they can post in here with their likes/hobbies etc.

I have been poked.

I have a Nintendo Switch, I like poker and football. I am enthusiastic about Japan.

I like chocolate.

Franchises I like
Red Dwarf
Final Fantasy VII
The Lion King
Football Manager
Street Fighter

Ive been poked.

I love coffee, chocolate. Opera. Love to read.
Ive got a PS5 and a Switch.
Love game of thrones, lotr, pratchett. Marvel films. DC comics
Got loads of mugs and prints so avoid those.
Some funky socks would be cool.

There should be a Ban on running an AYAW? game at least 3 months before Secret Santa :lol:

Post stalking is a nightmare :slol:

Post stalking is a nightmare

Haha, for me it's when they change their usernames to something Christmas/something completely different....

ive been poked

first i was offended but then i noticed that ive barely posted this year and the things i had posted had even less value than normal so i suppose i kind of owned myself there

i like cars, i have a 370z nismo, watch the f1, lando norris is bae and george russell is goals, if that helps with my allegiances
i like miniature models but like most model people i have some games workshop ennui, but they do make basically the best models for quality and detail purposes
i also like building and making things, usually small, for some reason
i like coffee table art books, but mostly darker stuff or weird interesting fetish gooseberry fool convo starters
i have a cat, hes called bad robert and hes a prick
i like nerdy gooseberry fool, stuff of interest, things that challenge the mind i guess
i almost entirely game on the pc but i will take an oled switch with all of the pokemon games if you feel like you really must
favourite authors are phillip k dick, lovecraft, harlan ellison, if that helps with general taste?

ask if you need more direct hints, i guess!

I do get the logic of poking to ensure a higher quality of gift, but I know for certain that some solid stalking of DML, Denster and False could have given you more than enough to go on. It's not like they try to hide their hobbies! Surely part of the fun of SS is the research?

For my poke-er/ist?

I am just gonna list stuff

Coffee
Chocolate
Photography
Guitars
Cars (have an M440i)
Motorbikes (had a Street Triple 675r)

Will edit this if I think of any more / to add more detail

Yo! I know I've been poked, I only find it quite hard to summarise my interests! Also, I have been in bed ill and dealing with messed up family issues. When I can think positively, I'll post tomorrow or Friday! :wub:

I must admit that I'm a serial poker (poke most years). I want to get the best gift and I actually think it's harder if I've got to wade through thousands of posts, usually I have an idea or 2 from the first few pages but like to be sure that I get something wanted.

Fair enough. The quality of gifts is usually very very high no matter what method people take, so I guess there's no bad approach.

I've had a poke, so let's see...

I've got all the current gen consoles and a gaming PC.
I'm big into Sci-Fi and Anime, Star Trek/Star Wars type stuff in particular. I've also been big into Transformers this past year.

Ummm....kinda hard to think what else to say really! If you need some more info just get me poked again!
