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 :)

Cripes!  Kill hordes of mindless zombies or kill hordes of something else........tough choice......

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I'm going to nick Bioshock instead of Nation Red!


Sorry Mr. G!

On 2nd thoughts
No I'm not  :P

Just to clarify
Sorry, that is  >:D

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.

One thing to remember- you can't take back what was just taken.  Just wanted to make that clear as I see it wasn't above.

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)

Oh you sneaky #&#%#*~~!!!

That's just a ploy to find out whether we are the kind, generous, giving people that we purport to be on the forum....or in reality are self-centered, back-stabbing SOBs.

Nice  :Thmbsup:

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. :)

PS. I stand by my original PM if we go this way.

No... I'd not want to go that way.  It's an even split by counts.  So... (drumroll)

4wd: Orcs Must Die 2- complete
e.gingerich: Worms Revolution & Worms Revolution Season Pass
Deozaan: Titan Quest

And all 3 get a copy of Booster Trooper

All three of you PM me your Steam Names (and c.gingerich PM me your e-mail address and whether you want tiles or fences).  If you three want to contact each other directly to exchange your personal gifts, then that will work also- let me know if you haven't heard from the other party by the end of the week.

PM sent.

Thanks Wraith, c.gingerich, Deo, mouser, (and I'm sure Stephen had a hand in the bonuses), for a bit of Xmas fun!

Cheers and hope the year ahead will be good to you  ;D
