I'm not giving away my address you commie kike
Signed up for the $lowest bracket and I’m giving someone a PSA pistol build kit. Giving is fun.
Man. Is it just me, or does everyone want the craziest shit sent to them. Would love a Hi point and a bottle of some local hard liquor
What am I supposed to out in/what should I put in if I am a cucked Canuck?
Signed up, got a rainbow fade krambit knife and a really nice butterfly knife that ill throw in. Signed up for the 50-99 even though its worth 130 so someone gets a good suprise
We have lots of international people participate each year, often they will put surplus from their country into their gifts, or other stuff specific to their country. Makes for a fun gift!
Well my parts box is getting full. I don't trust any of you faggots though. Also, could I be liable for shit if I donated ammo?
Good question. If you send something illegal for your target to receive, you or they might get in trouble. Last year we had someone under 21 receive a bottle of liquor and that got them in a little trouble - nothing serious but it still messed up their day.
We added a section to this year's form where participants can note things they can't receive, so this should help keep those situations under control. In general, please be smart about what you send, don't send 30 round mags to CA, etc. Definitely don't send firearms through the regular mail. Be smart and you'll be okay!
What about hand loaded ammo? It's good shit, I have/shoot a lot of it, it just seems iffy to send to a stranger.
Underage b&
I'd say it's okay. If I was sending it I'd add a note explaining that it's handloaded, giving some info about it that might be useful. To my mind, receiving a package with some random handloaded stuff with no documentation might be a bit iffy, but if it's well documented and explained I'd be comfortable with receiving it.
Do you include one "bonus round" that is +P++?
Signed up and In. Looking forward to spoiling some fat little noguns rotten.
What's this raffle all about? Can you elaborate on the prizes, like what a Big Boss crate entails.
We'll be holding the raffle for all participants who confirm to me that they've sent their gifts, i.e. by sending me a tracking number or something. Each person will have at least one entry, you can earn additional entries by doing stuff like shipping within two weeks, sending confirmation when you receive your gift, posting photos of your gift in the thread, etc.
We have three confirmed prizes right now and we're working on getting some more set up. The Big Boss crate is pretty much a wooden ammo crate that I build and send out every year, this year I'm making multiple and one will be a raffle prize. Pic related is last year's crate.
The other confirmed prizes are a handgun (more details in the future) and a European WW3 survival kit being constructed from Euro surplus. The gun will be sent to a US participant and the survival kit will go to a European participant. The BB crate can be shipped anywhere in the world!
Any way for you to add the option to join specifically for Grinch Relief?
It’s Halloween you fucking kike
As in, join solely to provide grinch relief and not to participate in the main exchange? After you've signed up, email me at [email protected] and we can make a note on your entry. Thanks much komrade!
Last year I got a bumpstock and someone got a “solvent trap”
I hope for something fun this year too
Found the Grinch
Any idea on how many people are in round 1? I got super excited and jumped in early but now anxiety is kicking in saying all the cool people are gonna be later rounds. Overall I’m glad I’m in early cause I figure this round will have the least amount of scammers.
I just signed up for round 1 and I'm cool.
Wanna sign up but im pretty much broke. Maybe I can go for one of the lower price brackets.
Swissboye here, does this stuff work internationally? And how am i sure that i don"t get illegal stuff or get doxxed?
What does "lightly memed" entail? I'd like a package with some personality, but I don't want a box covered in furry anime characters wearing swastikas arriving at the office
Are training grenades allowed through the mail? Or will I get midterm mailmanned?
If it's inert it's just a hunk of metal and perfectly legal, but these days I wouldn't be surprised if someone at the post office sees it on an xray when sorting and has the package opened to inspect it
>I don't want a box covered in furry anime characters wearing swastikas arriving at the office
BOOOOOORING
>but I don't want a box covered in furry anime characters wearing swastikas arriving at the office
Go big or go home pal.
There was a cutoff number beneath which I was going to bump all the round 1 signups to round 2, but we've passed that number so it's looking good for now. We've got some awesome people who have signed up for the first round too.
You should sign up! Lowest tier is $5 to $19 and we also have a Jow Forumsristmas card tier that you can use to solely exchange cards and drawings.
We are absolutely accepting international participants and would love to have you join us. Swiss surplus would be an incredible gift. We have a section on the form where you can list specific illegal stuff you can't receive. If you're particularly concerned on the matter, email me after you sign up and we can take some extra steps after you're matched (get you in contact with your match, etc.)
I interpret lightly memed as kube drawings, maybe some writing, but nothing hardcore. Everyone please save the nazi furries for the fuck my shit up level, or at the very least keep them inside the box.
Forgot the trip
Swissboye again, thanks for the answer!
I will probably sign up tonight.
Can I do two? I want to spread some Jow Forumshristmas spirit. Should I wait for round two?
I love free gifts.
Sure man, we've had folks send out two gifts before, and two gifts means twice the raffle entries.
It's up to you if you want to split it across multiple rounds or do it in the same round, but that sounds like a fun way to do it to me.
Just sign up and then do grinch relief. Boom two boxes of spirit my dude.
Got one last year with a trophy that said ATF evasion specialist.
We are a Canuck, should we put our Province in the State box?
Also, if we are sending out Surplus, how should we grade the surplus. Ex: Swiss M-18/66 helmet with cover is $85 bucks in Canada, but might be lower in the US.
Re: putting the province in the state box, that's fine. All we're using that box for is for matching purposes, so it will help if we're able to match you to another Canadian.
The price tiers should be thought of as guidelines, so I wouldn't worry too much about trying to account for valuation differences. Don't worry about being a few dollars outside of the tier, although of course it's better to have the gift be slightly higher than the tier than slightly lower. Just do what feels right for your match.
I know we'll be receiving a match email, but is there any way to get a confirmation that the form went through?
I can't remember if it was last years google form, but I had trouble submitting it and just wan't to make sure it went through alright.
Sure man, mail me at [email protected] and I can find and confirm your submission.
Email sent. Thanks for soothing my paranoia.
18 and still live at home with helicopter parents. Is there a way to request only online gifts? Do any anons have ideas on how to get packages delivered? My only friend I trust enough to have packages sent to is in college out of state.
Online-only gifts, like steam keys or virtual products or stuff like that? The form has a general instructions field and a second field where you can specify things you don't want to receive / are illegal to receive, so if you put some notes in there that should help your match understand the situation.
Thanks for the advice and info, Boss
Get a PO box, they're usually very cheap. Then you can buy whatever you want online (dildos) without having your parents wanting you to open it in front of them.
To keep this thread alive, anyone care to share stories from previous years to help a new guy like me some ideas?
That is a thirsty boy. I don't have any stories either cuz I'm new but I want to bump the Thread.
Guardfaggot here, Signed up for the 100 or so bracket.
Norwegian snowmonkey here. Participated a few times now. Sent packages to Australia and Finland and received from Poland and Ireland. Sent a grinch relief to a poor user in Finland as well. Last year there were quite a few Europeans participating, you should definitely consider joining!
AWW YISS
I’ve had pretty much only good experiences the last three years, last year was probably best tho.
>got sweet ass manuals
>some Israeli milsurp
>someone sewed me a fucking gondola plushie
HEY! THAT WAS ME! I SEWED THAT PLUSHIE FOR YOU!
Roughly how many people are in each price bracket for this first batch?
Wanted to ask the same, also how are they geographically distributed across the the world? How many in the US, Europe, Aussieland, etc. in each tier?
Thank you! It’s been on my wall every since!
I will be doing my Christmas email puzzle again, but i will just post it publicly for all this time.
How specific is the matching? Say I have $100 worth of AK furniture (which I do), so in the $100 bracket. If a straight person of the same bracket got that as their package, they'd be pretty disappointed I'd imagine, no use for it.
You are not supposed to just dump trash on people. You are supposed to give a thoughtful gift based on your person's interests.
This is exactly why i am not participating this year. The stupid bitch -yes a female- gave me a box of absolute trash including scented candles.
That's why I'm asking, some people enjoy trash like the AK and would like furniture sets for it. I'm not talking about a box full of Romanian grips.
>box of absolute trash including scented candles.
Kek, what bracket?
45-50 or something like that. I dont remember precisely. There was not a single thing even remotely related to the interests I listed. It seemed as though the person who sent it only had a loose idea of what K even is. I was really disappointed.
I'm sorry that happened to you, user.
Anyone got any pics of interesting package art.
One day I will have the time and money to participate, but I want you guys to know that you all brighten up my day with your weird presents to each other.
Events like this give me genuinely hope for Jow Forums and Jow Forums in general that the old, friendly community of freaks and weirdos we had just a few years back isn't dead yet.
Whoever I get Im going to draw diaper porn for. Cause lol why not.
Lol were they pine scented wax cubes?
>45-50 or something like that. I dont remember precisely. There was not a single thing even remotely related to the interests I listed. It seemed as though the person who sent it only had a loose idea of what K even is. I was really disappointed.
This event gets advertised on reddit and facebook and shit (thanks, Creep, you fucking dumbass), so a lot of people that have no idea of the board culture join up. They may not intentionally screw over kommandos, but they sure as fuck don't give a shit if they do.
Odds of getting outright grinched aren't particularly high, but you stand a very strong chance of getting matched with someone who's going to dump garbage on you because Creep wanted to expand outside of Jow Forums.
I can't speak for Creep in previous years but this year we'll only be advertising it here and on the Discord.
Yeah, I entirely believe you won't advertise anywhere else, but the event has been soiled. No unwarranted blame towards you--because the last few years you've demonstrated a passion for this and haven't done anything to fuck anyone over yet, but Creep really did a number in mainstreaming this shit for no reason.
There's no way of telling how many outsiders will be making their way back here, and them mixed with lurkers that know better and still just dump garbage on people is an unreasonably high risk. And the guy before Creep tried to automate all the matches and ended up automatically grinching a good number of people before ditching the whole dumpster fire and hoping it would burn itself out. The previous 2 hosts of the Se/k/ret Santa did you zero favors with their "innovations," and I'm just hoping you keep this shit as simple as possible behind the scenes.
Good luck, but I wish you had kept the event minimal for your first go-around. The website and raffles are red flagging this deal because minimalism is what made this shit work in the past and any attempt to spice it up has resulted in failure.
are you making a discord server?
What's the value on an unused quad rail grip for a 20" AR-15 and is that something someone would want?
Pic unrelated
About $20, and only if they said they needed an AR hand guard. Honestly, most people with an AR already have one of those or built theirs up with a hand guard they liked more.
Maybe $100 for China's finest.
If it's got a rifle length gas system you're looking at least a 12 inch rails, 9 inch minimum for mid-length. Anything shorter would be fucking retarded for a 20 inch barrel. But the length of the rails going to determine the price more so than the barrel length.
Shit, just realized he said "grip."
If you mean a vfg, that *goes* on a 20" quad rail, you're looking at the $5 bracket, and a disappointed recipient.
Nah, I meant the whole RIS forend, the correct term escaped me.
Swissboye just signed up, some Jow Forumsommando out there is gonna get spoiled rotten with swiss milsurp
So, I assume it would be fine to enter myself into multiple, or even all of the batches? And at different price brackets, just for fun.
Want.
I signed up for the $150 to 250 range. I hope I get a fellow Canuck, because they'll be getting a "custom" SKS then. Easy peasy to mail guns here.
Signed up for the 50-99.- tho, this swissboy is poor, but swiss surp is cheap here
You know they were. I hate you so so so much Tennessee user.
Remember to try and wait before you buy the gifts. You don't want to drop $150 on a gun if you get a nogunz, or drop money on something your Match doesn't want.
Bump desu
Anyone knows when the first match mails go out?
First match mails will be sent on November 3rd!
The last day to join the first batch is November 2nd (tomorrow) so join up if you haven't yet!
Are you making a discord server? Saw you post that earlier
I have joined up already! Looking forward to it
I was referring to the generic Jow Forums discord. Not sure if it's supposed to be public, if one of the admins are around and wants to share info about it they can do so.
brb, rigging the entire thing again this year
Tempted to sign up for “overlord” and send the elf a pistol..
