Title: DonationCoder Digital White Elephant Thread
Post by: wraith808 on December 24, 2012, 05:37 PM
I postponed the start a bit hoping to get a few more people involved, but I think with this being Christmas Eve, it's as good a time as any to start!

Reposting the Rules
1. Order will be determined randomly, and posted.
2. There is a maximum of one day for a move.
3. On your turn, you can choose to either (a) choose a gift from the pile, or (b) take an already opened gift.
4. If you choose a gift from the pile, it is chosen randomly, and revealed to all.
5. If you choose to take a gift from a person, that person immediately gets to choose to take an already opened gift (not the one just taken), or take a gift from the pile.
6. Each gift can only change hands twice.

After one time around, if the first person has never had his or her gift taken, they may choose to trade their gift for someone else's.

We can start anytime, but I'm not starting the timer on the expiration of turn until the 26th. :)

Purple please - the colour of royalty naturally  :P

Oh, and Merry Xmas - the turkey's in the Weber  ;D

You might as well as add yourself to the mix wraith, add a gift and put yourself on the end of the queue so you'll randomly end up with what's left.

Go ahead - we trust you  ;)

No, I was giving mouser a bit to reply.  But I guess he really does want out, so I'll move it along.  With his contribution, there's actually enough for us to go around twice, so everyone gets two gifts :)

So... everything is given out and all presents are opened :)  With everything opened, let's go around one more time with everyone saying if they're happy with their gifts - or want to nick anyone else's (I'm the only bad person!)  Once we've done that, we'll have the final drawing for the big gift still under the tree :)

Sorry Mr. G!

Post by: 4wd on December 31, 2012, 07:09 PM
You're confused?

I thought we were into a last round of "pass the parcel" where we get to nick someones gift in return for one of our own....or have I missed something, (hey! I'm new at this).

I was just expressing my desire to misappropriate Mr. G's Bioshock whilst leaving behind Nation Red under his Christmas tree then, after eating the cookies and drinking the eggnog, scurrying back to my place of hibernation.

Or to put it more succinctly:
Swap Bioshock for Nation Red please.

And with Deo's response, we'll call it done.  That said, there's only the drawing for the final prize left under the Digital Virtual Christmas Tree.  But since there's so few people, there's a wrinkle- there's actually four individual prizes in the big prize, so we're going to play a game. :)  Each participant send me a PM with the words 'split' or 'giveaway'.  If everyone says split, I'll randomly split the prizes among you (each getting at least one).  If any person says giveaway, then I'll draw for one of you three to take it all.  Let me know by tomorrow.  (I was going to do a three-way prisoner's dilemma... but decided not to  ;D)

-4wd (January 01, 2013, 06:21 PM)

No... a programmer.  I just need a psychiatrist.  And if I was, then I'd have done the three way prisoner's dilemma.

a) choose give, split, or take it all.
b) if one person chooses take it all- they get everything.
c) if more than one person chooses take it all, and the other chooses anything else, that person gets everything.
d) if everyone chooses give, then everyone gets something... and a bonus.
e) if one or two people choose give and the other(s) split, then the split is between those that chose split.
f) If everyone chooses take it all, no one gets anything.
g) any non-covered arrangement is an even split.

Now *that* would be interesting to watch  ;D

But this way, no one knows what anyone else chose, unless everyone chooses split. :)
