Season's greetings everyone, and welcome to Hex's Holiday Hullapalooza!

To celebrate the holiday season, I am once again hosting some festive fun.

Secret Santa
Have a recipe you've been eying? Maybe a certain accessory or costume to complete your perfect outfit? A mat that's alluded you for too long? Or perhaps you just want to join in on the spirit of giving and make new friends!
Whatever the reason, come join the Secret Santa gift exchange!

How does it work?
Each person will submit an application indicating their interest. You are given the option to elaborate on what gifts you would prefer. After a little over two weeks, applications will be closed, and I will randomly choose secret Santas, then privately message you who your recipient is.

You can then look for a gift as closely related to their interests as you can. I discourage just handing over some crowns, unless it is directly requested. You will then have until Christmas Day to secure the gift, whereby you will be free to deliver your gift!

Please utilize the following format to enter for the Secret Santa:

In-Game Name:
Interests:
Low Cost Items:
Medium Cost:
High Cost:

Explanation:
Your in-game name is the name of the character you wish to be contacted through and gift delivered to.
Interests can range from "battle sprite items" to "things that are yellow" to "weapons with a DPS over 10".
The next three are specific items that you would like, grouped by their relative cost.
You do not have to use the entire application!! If you'd rather only list off some items, or only an interest, go ahead.

I do encourage you to try and figure out what your recipient might want if they list only interests; think of it as a game!

Applications close Friday, December 9th.

Art Trade
For all those aspiring or accomplished artists of all kinds and talent, join the Art Trade! No matter your skill level, everyone is welcome for this event. If you've ever wanted a visual manifestation of your imagination, or want to share your skill and get to know the artists in our community, sign up!

How does it work?
Much like the Secret Santa, everyone interested will submit an application showing interest. You will be able to describe what piece of art you want. After a little over a week, applications will close and you will be privately messaged of the person you are creating art for. You will have until Christmas Day to complete your art!

Please utilize the following format for the Art Trade:

In-Game Name:
Preferred Method:
Description:

Explanation:
Your in-game name is the name of the character you wish to be contacted through.
Preferred method for those who want art in a certain format. Digital, traditional, Spiral Spy, interpretive dance, etc.
Description should have as much detail into what you want as you can.

Applications close Friday, December 9th.

RULES:
Exchanges must be followed through by January 1st, at which point a participant will need to explain why they have failed to complete their end of the exchange. Failure to do so will result in repercussions such as disqualification from future events, should they be hosted.

Feel free to ask any questions you have!

    Glad to Give

    IGN: Gustim
    Interests: I'm Making Seasonal Costumes!

    Low Cost: Verdant Hood, Verdant Cloak

    Medium Cost: Hunter Bent Vertical Vents, Toasty Wolver Tail, Hunter Whiskers, Verdant Whiskers, Glacial Whiskers, Verdant Cat Tail, Toasty Vertical Vents, Volcanic Wrench,

    High Cost: Polar Leafy Aura, Polar Halo, Snowfall Aura, Baleful Aura

    Other Interests: On the pricy side, but hey! Can't hurt to dream.... Teddy Bear Buckler, The Final Gasp, and Overcharged Mixmaster!

    By season costumes, I'm basically trying to represent the seasons, but with costumes. For example, I have a summer costume, which is hunter hood, cloak, with a hunter dust bunny tail and a green leafy aura. I'm trying to do something like that, but for all the seasons! Pretty cool idea if you ask me.

    Secret Santa art trade? BEST IDEA EVER!!!

    In-Game Name: Angel-Girl

    Preferred Method: Traditonal or digital art is great!

    Description:

    This piece is a bit of an inside joke and I will use it over and over. XD

    So I'd like to have my interpretive Knight self (let's call em Chrissy), to be looking enraged (like, full blown mad, not just put out). Her hands are in fists and parallel mostly to her sides and she's stomping her foot. She is saying "WHAT DO YOU MEAN, THERE'S NO MORE ENCHILADAS?!?!".

    It'd be great if her expression could be chibized, but if not that's alright.

    Full body please!
    Colored blank background fits the needs. I'm thinking very light purple for some reason.

    Suggestion!

    Would it be a good idea to set a price limit on this event? I do Secret Santa amongst my close friends IRL and we normally have a price limit so that there aren't insane expectations and for creative thought. I think having this would also make it easier for knights who are less wealthy to get involved. It would just be a shame if someone who is F2P gets paired with a guy who just wants items that are 500kcr+. Just my two cents on the subject.

    Art Is my Fav trade!

    I would love to join in this, I can't wait <3

    In-Game Name: Solotron

    Preferred Method: I like any type of method, I love having the artist go wild with his/her imagination so just do your best ^u^

    Description:

    Since I'm giving the freedom of whatever method you wish to do, I do have 1 request.
    I love the Gurren Lagann series, and I have always wanted an art of me "Piercing the Heavens!" sort of look, if it's at all possible.

    It might be too much trouble but if you're willing to put up the effort I'd be happy with anything winter themed.

    Funsies

    Here's to another successful year of the SK Secret Santa!

    In-Game Name: Fighting-Polygon
    Preferred Method: Traditional and digital works for me!
    Description: Here's the reference picture of my costume. If this happens to strike any inspiration, you go right ahead! If you need a lil' bit of a nudge to get started, I do like imagining my knight sitting next to a toasty fireplace sipping a warm mug of hot chocolate with Winterfest decorations all around.
    Best of luck to you all!

    Yay! Very people! Such participate! Wow!

    @Manlet, the thing is, for most of the items, the price can be someone subjective depending on several factors. I haven't really played SK in a year, so I'm a bit lost on the prices of things, especially the expensive ones haha. If you guys have suggestions for a reasonable price range, I can add it.

    @Everyone, please share this and invite your friends to join! The more the merrier! Especially for the art trade because we only got three people :o

    Edit: Whoops accidentally took it out of general discussion

    Let's do this!

    Secret Santa:

    IGN: Asaleth
    I am interested in any "cool" accessories or costumes. Any wings would be awesome, since they are kind of expensive.
    I apologize in advance if any of the price ranges are off or something like that.

    Low cost: Tundrus, Divine Avenger recipe, any cheap non-hallow wings.

    Medium cost: Medium Cost Wings, UV tickets, T3 Golden Harness if possible, or maybe some costumes that fit under this category.

    High cost: Mixmaster :D, accessories, Dragon/Valkyrie/Plasma/The cool starry ones/Other high cost wings, or I WOULD LOVE ANY TABARD OR CHAPEAU that would be amazing :3. Also decent weapon with ASI, CTR, or good variants. Also any celestial things would also be greatly appreciated.

    Art Trade:
    Disclaimer: I do not take responsibility for any harm or damage directly or indirectly caused by my art. (Just kidding, it's not THAT bad, I hope)

    IGN: Asaleth

    Preferred method: Digital or Traditional art are both fine!

    I would like a picture of my in-game character sword dueling with another character (Anyone! You can use your character if you want as well). I will try to post a link to my character but for reference, the personal color is yellow and he has a gold tabard and chapeau. He also has solar plasma wings, a citrine parrying blade, and a final flourish. (Sunshine aura if possible, but that's probably hard to draw).

    _________________

    Note: Will post picture of character later today

    Oooh this sounds fun.

    Stuff like this is what makes this community feel so friendly and close-knit!

    IGN: Metayya
    Interests: costumes with a unique theme (look like a certain class like Medic, or try to look like a certain character, etc.)
    Low Cost Items: Freeze Vial Bandolier, Toasty Vitakit, Garnet Glasses
    Medium Cost: Lovely Flak Jacket*, Lovely Winged Helmet*, Lovely Side Blade*, Lovely Parrying Blade*
    High Cost: Black Kat Hood/Cloak, White Battle Chef Coat, sets of 450 Radiant Fire Crystals, 28kE (I don't mean to sound desperate but sending me 28kE is the best possible thing you could do for me, it isn't even for anything in-game)
    * - I'm clueless to the actual price of these items.

    /e feels like avaricious scum.

    Ridiculously High Cost: Overcharged Mixmaster, Permafrost Aura (I can dream, correct? xD) Crown of Winter

    I don't draw knights very often so I might as well get some practice in! cx

    In-Game Name: Sciger
    Preferred Method: Digital or traditional, either one is fabulous. c:
    Description: I would like my winterfest wolver costume to be drawn giving a present i.e. unopened humbug hazer to a rather dazed grinchlin. If that's too much to do, just my costume doing something festive would be great as well. ^^

    We need more people :D

    IGN: Meow-Itam

    Interests:
    Accessories for Frosty Flak Jacket, Gold Wolf Armor or Divine Veil, particularly cat vents, tails or wings.
    ...or maybe just anything black.

    Low Cost Items:
    Shining/Radiant Fire Crystals, 3*/4* orbs or variant tickets

    Medium Cost:
    Loads of Divine Stars or recipe (BTB, BTS, Sentenza)

    High Cost:
    Blitz Needle with CTR High or Very High. Strike Needle or Needle Shot with the same UV is ok, I'll try to forge the rest myself.

    Not sure if I estimate them correctly :|

    :^)

    ign: Xersin

    I'm not exactly the richest guy, so I'd probably go for the low-cost option for whoever I get.

    Interests: Toasty-themed stuff I guess
    Low-cost: Crowns (maybe like 25 - 50k? iunno?)
    Medium-cost: Splash trunks, preferably toasty of course, but polar or surge work too
    High-cost: Wolver tails -- if you read the rest of this, I'm sure you know which one I prefer the most, but I also think heavy, cool, dusky, volcanic and prismatic are neat (pretty sure iron is out of the question).

    Fehzors-Forum-Alt

    In-Game Name:
    Mail Fehzor in game and I'll tell you I guess lol

    Interests:
    Friendship, data on the game

    Low Cost Items:
    Friend me in game and go on danger missions with me, presuming you're capable of playing them. I'm always in need of someone to go with me... not for like, a carry, but for like, the companionship aspect that the game has lost since most of my older friends left.
    -or-
    Craft, heat, UV, and use Irontech Destroyer as one of your main weapons, assuming you would never do this normally.
    Yes, I already have an irontech destroyer. I want you to have one as my gift.

    Medium Cost:
    Collect data and give it to me. Data I am interested in-
    -Gear people are using in Haven, i.e. a pie graph of weapons found on T2 players in Haven or in the arcade
    -Drop rates in prize boxes, i.e. what percentage drop what and how does depth effect it
    -Drop rates from monsters, see above
    -Prize boxes! How many people have opened them, what do they think, would they buy it, anything like that.

    I want to avoid bias. This means that YOU SHOULD NOT GET DATA FROM BY THE FOUNTAIN/AH. Think about a day at the gym- the people you see there are the ones that spend the most time there. I want the big picture, not a snapshot of the people that play the most/stand around the fountain/the merchants. Instead, gather your data from the log in area; i.e. the grid you spawn when you enter haven for the first time. Most players go to Haven immediately when logging on, check the AH, talk to their guild/randoms they find, etc. then go on runs. This isn't without bias, but it's at least not that stupidly biased.

    High Cost:
    Join my discord ( https://discord.gg/nUAZ82X ) and chat with me while I code my game etc. Attempt to foster a community there. This is a definite time commitment, but I'd very much like a community to look over and it is very much important that this community accept me for who I am.

    Thanks everyone!

    Sign ups will close (tomorrow) December 9th, at around 2300 SK Time (PST). At that time, matches will be made, and no further Knights can be accommodated. Mail will be sent to the IGNs provided (or forum names if not listed) with your match, so be sure to check your mailbox then. Just wanted to let everyone get a heads up.

    Thank you to everyone for signing up! It's my pleasure, but I didn't do anything special: it's all of you who make this event possible! I really appreciate your enthusiasm and kind words :D (I'd be blushing if Wolvers could blush)

    If you have any ideas or recommendations (such as the price cap/limit) please do share them so next year's will be even better!

    Aaaaaaaaaaaa

    Almost didn't make it. I'm up for Secret Santa :D
    Depending on the price of items I'll definitely try to get mid-high. :o

    - In-Game Name
    Teddysmacker

    - Interests
    Cute things or big things I guess. Pretty vague, but I mean probably, Wolver Tails or Pauldrons as examples.

    - Low Cost Items
    Frankly I don't mind anything, but something I'm looking for specifically is a shadow parrying blade. (1-2kE I think?)
    A mirrored lockbox would be nice. :o I love opening these.

    - Mid Cost Items
    Heavy Dragon Wings (4-7kE]
    Military Valkyrie Wings (3-5kE)
    Looking for these to finish my costume.
    Wolver Tails/Pauldrons~

    - High Cost (I'd cherish any of these things)
    At this point, I'd greatly appreciate ANY gift in this range, if anybody's generous enough.
    Specifically I'm looking for an ASI VH Prismatech alchemer, or any form between 2 to 4*. (11-17kE)
    Sweet Dreams weapon (15-25k)
    Snowfall Aura (7-11kE)
    Scissor Blades (10-14kE)

    Q: Do I have to deliver it on Christmas Day?
    A: Generally, if you can, that would be ideal. If you cannot, it's fine if you send it a bit early. Please try not to send it a bit late (if you do, post advance notice).

    Q: I got my gift, huzzah! What now?
    A: Give your Secret Santa a big thank you and post on the thread to let me know that the gift has been received!

    Q: I didn't get assigned someone? Did you forget about me? :'(
    A: Darn. For some reason SK is super itty bitty on my computer and I can't make out the GUI very well. Hopefully I didn't send a message to the wrong person! :S Let me know immediately if this happens.

    Q: There's a typo in the mail I got?
    A: Cosmic power! Itty bitty living space... I mean GUI. Itty bitty GUI. My eyes hurt... @.@

    Q: Are you going to add more questions if they come up?
    A: Yes! It's like you read my mind :o

    QUESTION!

    so... how exactly do you send the item anonymously?
    do we send it to you to send to them?
    or make an alt?

    @Fezhor, okey doke. I'll check my mail.

    @Qddgr, You just go ahead and send it to them. The surprise is 'revealed' as the exchange happens. If you wish to remain anonymous to the person you're gifting to... hmm can't say I can think of a way, because if only one person obscures their identity, then it's obvious who they are.

    Oh, and when do you want me to send it? I'll probably have it done pretty soon but IDK, maybe I should wait until x-mas, or possibly I should be sending it asap? IDK but I'm really enjoying picking things out for someone.

    Also, funny story-

    So someone in my guild was crafting Irontech Destroyer.. and I was like "YOU PULLED ME :D :D :D" but no, they were just making an irontech destroyer. That is how much love that weapon gets. The odds of it being crafted are literally proportional to those of knowing me. It's excellent.

    @Fehzor, if you want to send it now, you can, but if you can send it at Christmas, that would be preferred :3 And to be blunt I don't even know what the irontech destroyer is haha! Is it that bomb that looks like an angry face? Man, it's been too long since I've played.

    Bombs!

    That's the Big Angry Bomb, I believe the Irontech Destroyer is this heavy duty metal bomb thing that has some yellow glow on it. Never seen it in action so I don't know what it does XD
    Hopefully I can get mine done by Christmas, dunno, hope so, let's find out. *Destroys tablet with quick brush movements* Oops.

    I'm planning to manually deliver mine manually via character on Christmas, or possibly the day before. My gift will be late if the player doesn't log on that day though. >_<

    Hi hi

    I plan on giving the gift out on the 25th, but I also plan on giving more than what I have now. So hopefully I can do that! :D

    @Hexlash

    Hey, I have a bit of a problem. So, I'm chronically ill and that can make it very hard to be motivated to do art for weeks at a time if I'm feeling sick enough for that long. I was doing pretty good when I signed up for it all but quickly went downhill again in the past week. I don't know how long it'll be before I start feeling decent enough to focus on making a nice art piece again.

    Seeing as there's an odd amount of art makers, I wasn't sure how you were going to pair that up, but if it isn't too late, could you pair up my pairing with the last person assuming they weren't able to get someone? I know it's rather short notice, I didn't think my condition would make me feel this sick for this long. I apologize profusely for this, it drives me crazy that it's making it so hard for me to enjoy making art, no less making art that I think looks good.

    Aw...

    @Sciger, oh no, that's really unfortunate :( The site I use matches so that no two people are matched to each other and there are no loops of people, so that if you went from one person to their gifter, it would cycle through everyone.

    If it's possible, would you be able to complete the art sometime within the foreseeable future? I'm pretty sure the person you're making art for would understand, and I don't want you to be struggling to do this, because you wouldn't be having fun and it wouldn't be your best work either! If so I can excuse a delayed deadline. If anything, I can cover you.

    I honestly don't know. I may be better after Christmas time as all the richer foods are gone (I have severe digestive problems - think stomach flu nausea 24/7) so I may improve a week or so after the new year.

    To my match, of whom I won't be naming since Secret Santa, I apologize in advance. Hopefully, I can get my art piece done fairly soon and make it gorgeous.

    double santa-agents?

    is there some sort of mad secret-secret santa going round buying things for people without actually applying? just noticed my supposed secret santa %@&$#^$#^' gave an early one. i went to post i recieved from ||data expunged|| ... only to realise... the player wasnt even on the list of 17 players.. does this mean (1) someone is using an alternate player to give out gifts anonymously. or (2) some double santa-agent is sooo kind enough to give gifts without expecting anything back! this is truly the christmas spirit in its full. i have the greatest gratituity in my secret or double santa-agent if number (2) is correct. lots of love to my secret and\or secret santa-agent !

    Five More Days!~

    I'm excited. :o Sadly the high-tier items of the person I'm giving is either unobtainable for me atm or it spans past my budget, but I have multiple Mid-Tier that I'm having trouble choosing which. I also can't help but wonder what I'll get as well. I hope my match-up will like it. <3

    Wait, what is the timeframe for us to deliver the gifts? I was planning to do so on the 24th. Also, we can use whatever means we want to send them, right?

    Sun Silver Bells are ringing!

    Thank you to everyone for participating in this year's Holiday Hullapalooza! As I will not be able to post this any closer to Christmas day, I just wanted to extend my gratitude to everyone for participating and making my second time hosting this event better than the first! I hope all of you enjoyed this and I'm excited already for next year's!

    If you have any suggestions or ideas or anything like that, I would love to hear them to make this event even better :D

    Note that the event is not 'officially over' as it ends on the 25th, but again, this is the latest I can post.

    @Qddgr, there's no need to feel down! You don't have to feel bad about trying your best, and you shouldn't worry about being the perfect Santa! I'm glad that you've tried so hard to be one anyway, though <3

    @Asaleth, officially, Christmas morning is the preferred timeframe for the gifting, but as this day may not fit everyone's schedules, I'm fine if gifts are delivered a bit early, which some people have already done, so 24th is fine! You can send the gift however you want, in person, through a network of spies, or just through mail. Art can be uploaded to a sharing site and linked in a forum post, or sent directly to your recipient only, as long as they post about it so I know it's been sent.
