I also loooove listening to music, guitar rock and orchestrated music is my fav. :D basically something that sounds like it could be or is in sonic or mario or zelda, but I enjoy r&b stuff too, some of. My favorite artists are beyonce, mariah carey, rhianna, ciara, etc. I like playing the piano, and I love animals especially dogs.

Ho ho ho! It's midnight of the 8th and that means [b]signups are now closed[/b]! Keep an eye on your PM Inboxes for information soon on who you're making a gift for! Ho ho ho, S. Claus, CEO Claus Enterprises Ltd.

Ho ho ho! With just a couple days left before the gift cutoff date, only [b]twelve out of the twenty-seven[/b] participants have sent in their gifts! Oh dear... That's less than half! Remember, you have until [b]midnight Pacific Standard Time on the 21st[/b] to send in your gifts! Don't be naughty, or else you won't be allowed to participate next year! This event isn't about getting - it's about giving! Ho ho ho, S. Claus, CEO Claus Enterprises Ltd.

does this mean that some people'll have to make 2 gifts to compensate? I'd be willing to help if that's the case

[quote="Mit"]does this mean that some people'll have to make 2 gifts to compensate? I'd be willing to help if that's the case[/quote] Random people will volunteer as elves to make gifts for the people who participated, but didn't receive anything.

^Exactly. No volunteering is necessary until the gifts have been given out, btw.

Here is hoping the gift giving turnout gets better. I would hate to see so many people making next years naughty list. If you are having trouble finding a gift for your recipient, remember: It is the thought that counts. You can always make something.

^I wouldn't worry about the submitted gifts so far. Rule of thumb is that most people submit theirs close to the deadline. There's still more than a day. And for those having difficulties, like Nite said: Just make something small, if you can't do or don't have some bigger idea. This is not a competition, it's about showing that you put some thought into a gift, whatever it may be. And if creativity isn't your forte, most MFGGers have a Steam profile with a wish list and there's Winter Sale going on right now ;)

Oh no, thats bad! I hope I can get my gift.

[quote="Mors"]Oh no, thats bad! I hope I can get my gift.[/quote] Don't worry - in case someone slacked off you'll get someone else to compensate it for you :D

I'm a bit confused with the deadline. So are gifts due on exactly 11:59 PM PST on the 21st, or is it 11:59 PM on the 20th (tonight)?

I'm a bit confused about EVERYTHING. What's with this thing about "sending 2 gifts"? I already sent mine AAAH WHAT DO I DO I CANT EVEN BEGIN TO GUESS WHATS HAPPENING
