Who is up for round 3? Here comes MerNetwork's Secret Santa 2013!
Here is a general overview of this year's rules (you agree by signing up):
-You can't spend more than $15 on your gift (this includes handmade crafts, but exceptions may be made if an item is worth more than $15 but is second hand - as in the giver had it).
-If you do spend over $15, don't be upset if you get a gift that cost less.
-Your gift has to be mailed by December 12th - you must be able to commit to this.
-You must state if you are comfortable with being partnered with someone with an international address. (PLEASE TAKE SHIPPING TIMES INTO ACCOUNT!)
-You must be an active user on the forums with at least 30 quality posts by Nov 1st (no spam or things like just "lol").
-Accounts made after November 1 will not be eligible to participate.
-No food, anything live, dangerous/illegal, or inappropriate (NSFW).
-Don't send fragile things unless you're absolutely sure they are protected.
-Your sign-up address does not have to be your own if you have privacy concerns (use a friend’s name and address, etc) – as long as you can still receive your gift.
-Do not share anyone’s information or real names anywhere.
-Gifts are mer-related!
-If you fail at sending a gift even after you've given your word of commitment, your account will be publicly acknowledged as being owned by a jerk.
Privacy rules and disclaimer are the same as last year's.

Discretion and Liability Agreement
By agreeing to sign up for this event you are agreeing to the following terms:
· All private information of the gift-tee (the person receiving the gift) that will be disclosed (including names, addresses, and photos) will remain private (unshared, un-spammed, and only used for this transaction) unless sole permission from the gift-tee says otherwise.
· If you sign up and don’t send a gift, you will be publicly ostracized and forever known as a person who is unreliable and can’t follow through. Also, people on the forums will generally think of you as a jerk. This is a commitment.
· You cannot hold the organizer responsible for the gift you receive or for any liabilities. This is a community event and I have no personal vested interest or ulterior motive in organizing this activity.
Registration ends on 11:59 pm on Dec 1, 2012 EST (USA).
