GREETINGS, MEATBAGS! TIME ONCE AGAIN FOR A MYSTERY MIS-ADVENT-URE.

YOU MAY REMEMBER THIS FROM SUCH EARLIER THREADS AS:

EG Mystery Gift Advent Calendar 2014
EG Mystery Gift Advent Calendar 2016

COMMENCE FESTIVITIES, BEGIN USER EDUCATION SYSTEM V1.337.666

----- ----- ----- ----- -----

What is this?
An advent calendar, but with video games instead of sugary shite!

Why should I join in?
Maybe you missed out on this year's Secret Santa and you do not want to be left out of the gift giving fun? Or maybe you joined the Secret Santa and you can not wait to Christmas day to open a gift? Or maybe you need to bolster the sales of your personal game of the year by buying it for a fellow forumite.

What do I need?
A Steam account and a Steam key! This means console only peeps are out in the cold this winter, but it's not too late for them to see the light and join us by the fire (which in this context is the massive heat radiating from MONSTER RIGS)!

How much should I spend on a gift?
There is no minimum spend - but people will know if you totally cheap out, so don't be that guy/gal!

Joking aside, all gifts welcome. Except Stardew effing Valley.

Am I guaranteed to get a gift in return?
Yes.

Can I contribute multiple gifts?
Yes, but you'll only be guaranteed one gift in return.

What will happen to excess gifts?
They will be given away to randomly selected people on Boxing Day.

How do I send my gift(s) to you?
Send the codes in a PM to EG_Super_Gift_Bot here on the forum.

Anything else I should do?
PRO TIP: Update your Steam Wish List so that Super Gift Bot has an idea on what sort of games you prefer!

If we get less than 25 peeps we'll just start Advent a little later. If we get more, well luckily there's more than enough gaming goodness to go around. You are a generous lot, aren't you?!

SANTA'S BACK!

The humble store has a sale on just now, which may be a good way to get some Steam Keys

Will have to dig out a treat or two later

Sign me up my dudes.

I'll throw in 25 copies of Stardew Valley or something. I'm sure it'll go like hotcakes.

It looks as though this is going to be a '12 Days of Christmas' thing.

Heh, if that. Still, there're a few days to go yet. On the plus side this'll mean less strain on the Bot's poetry circuits to come up with tortured prose this year.
