SECRET SANTA REVIEW 2010!

It's that Christmassy time of year again and this year McDohl put forward an event idea that various staff members liked the idea of. Since McDohl isn't on often, and time was running short I volunteered to take over the event. So, welcome one and all to the Secret Santa reviews!

What it entails
People sign up, exchange games at random , review and on Christmas Eve the reviews are shown anonymously to each other.

Each person that signs up for a Secret Santa will need to supply, via PM, a link to a game that they had a major hand in creating. They will then receive a random game via PM to review. Once done with your review PM me a copy and at the end of the allotted time I'll post it in a results topic. You can then post up the review at a later date (preferably after Christmas).

Event Outline
- Secret Santas sign up in this topic and send me (via PM) the name of the game they'd like reviewed before the allotted sign-up period ends.
- I will then randomly dispatch games to each Secret Santa.
- Each person has a week to play and review the game they have received - week ends around the 22nd.
- On the due date each person sends, via PM, the review to me.
- On Christmas Eve I will post up the results of the Secret Santa in a thread, without mention of review writers.
- Any time after Christmas the original reviewer may add their review to the site. I ask this delay for the sake of enjoying the secrecy of the Secret Santa Review and for those who wish to take a stab at guessing who theirs was.

To Join in
Sign up in this topic and send me a link to the game you'd like reviewed via PM. You need to be the creator of, or a major contributor to said game.

SIGN UP DATE: Let me know if you're interested in this event by Tuesday 14th December.
When you receive your review candidate please let me know if there is any reason you cannot use that game (already reviewed/don't have the system requirements/etc.) as soon as possible.

If you choose to do this you are not only putting out a game for someone else to review but offering to review a game as well (in secret, shhh!).

For tips on how to review, check out this topic and this one as well.

Hopefully you will all receive your game links on the 15th, if not sooner, giving you about a week to play and review. I would like all reviews PMed to me before the 22nd. I can be flexible if need be, but ask about that via PM, if necessary.

If you sign up and at a later date can no longer do your review, please PM me as soon as possible! I can try to arrange a fix, or drum up someone else to take over.

So, let's get a list of names happening! If you'd like to join just post a 'Yae!' in this thread.

Any questions, please feel free to ask here.

If your name is struck out, I have received your review. Remember to send them via PM.

Participants, expect a PM containing your Secret Santa Game and rules.

Yes, and you all know who is 'in the pot', however some people have more than one game and it adds to the surprise by not naming games.
