.Poem by Zodiac #132372.

E’vry wolf and wanderer gather,
as land and forest slumber.
To celebrate Yuletide’s ember
in the glimmers of December.

Choirs howl,
Little pups yowl!
As a Saint passes overhead,
with a bellow and a smile.

The fellow strides among the crowd.
Merry spreading all around.
It is a special time of year,
over hills, swamp and range.
Finally! It is here:

Wolfplay’s Annual Gift Exchange!

Been awhile since we had one o' these, eh?

What is the Gift Exchange, you ask?

The Gift Exchange (aka WPSS, GE, Secret Santa, or colloquially, the SS) is a fun little thing I do every December. Each participant is anonymously assigned someone to send a gift to. It makes for a nice little surprise, which makes everyone happy!

Please read everything below because it contains all the information you need.

TL;DR - you sign up, i send you a person to gift to, you send things to the person named, capisce? Still highly recommend you read everything below though.

TIERS

Tiers account for income inbalances between newer and experienced players. The higher your tier, the more expensive gifts you can expect to send and receive. If you feel you cannot afford a gift of a certain value, or you just want to join in the fun, you're more than welcome to join a tier with a lower requirement. HOWEVER. You may only join one Tier. If you need to change Tiers, do so before registration ends.

This year's base value will be 150 mushrooms at Tier I. All gifts should be worth at least that much. I will add more tiers if needed or requested. Each tier has a minimum gift requirement, however, there is no limit on how large of a gift you can send.

How do I participate?

Please review the requirements below. Failure to abide will result in withdrawal of your registration.

.

***IMPORTANT*** Make sure you are able to stay active between now and January. Users inactive the 10 days before application deadline will be removed from the roster. Please notify me beforehand if your activity will fluctuate but you would still like participate.

.

○ If you fail to meet gifting requirements, you may be blacklisted from future exchanges.

• REMINDER: You must be active for at least two weeks and have at least two wolves before you can send or receive any items.

○ Be polite. This is a gift exchange, not a seller's market.

• Let me know if you're willing to prepare extra gifts in case someone doesn't get theirs. I will be mark you down as a volunteer. If toward the end of December I’ve run out of spare gifts, I will reach out to see to see if you’re still okay to help.

○ Sign up using the Google Forms link here: https://forms.gle/UHmq1kziZT9jytF67

• If you cannot access Google Docs, I can input the information for you. PM me with Subject Line “WP SS Sign-Up Form” and attach your Name, ID, desired Tier and whether you'd like to Volunteer gift for particular tiers. Do not post your application on the forum. I do enough data search and entry at work.

○ Once you've received or sent your gift (sometime after December 1st), submit a confirmation screenshot in this form here: https://forms.gle/wY5py4qRtjYGHZ1j6. If you don't know how to screenshot, Google: how to screenshot on Windows, Apple, iOS, Android, etc.

• If you would like to make your own Secret Santa or Gift Exchange, I don't mind, so long as you change it up so it's not the same.

○ **Do not send anything to me. Do not send your prepared gift to me because it will not reach your giftee.
