Been seeing this going on in Team and elsewhere. Any interest in having a AK HTF? Kinda like a secret santa but without the secret.

The title might offend some people. I think it should be changed to the Holiday gift exchange.
oh and SURE |

But the way I figure beggers can't be choosers so why not |

If the name gets changed to "Holiday" anything or "Christmas" gets left out, I'm no longer in.

I am relatively sure you were not intending to be serious but:
The title might offend some people. I think it should be changed to the Holiday gift exchange. oh and SURE As an atheist/deist/whatever-the-hell I say fuck whoever is offended by it. The Jews should be used to things by now, Kwanzaa folks are just making things hard for themselves, and righteously indignant atheists are going out of their way to get offended by everything just like they accuse Christians of doing. Fuggit, it is Christmas, a time where we exchange gifts that are the fruit of our labors willingly and peacefully to others whom we consider friends and family. The name is meaningless and the reason for gift exchange has zero congruency with any of the religions attached to the season. Let's just roll with it. Now that crap is out of the way I propose a $30 limit/goal (MSRP), mostly because a $20 limit would make it hard to give out PMAGS as one PMAG seems cheap but 2 would go over the $20 limit, and this would also allow the exchange 3 USGI's or 2-3 DVD's or whatever. Not a hard and fast rule, just a ideal goal. Not everyone has the fundage to throw out there and not everyone has the ability to limit themselves either. Just no bitching if you spend a bunch and your exchange partner cannot or didn't. |

I'm in.
I motion that everyone here probably has enough p-mags! |

My personal collection of PMAGS is alright, but i got a bunch of USGI's. I want to try more lancers. With any luck I might have the new Troy's to pass out.

So far we have:
timinem arcticbear fsjdw2 MGNiko tyrex13 aleutianhunter the1000z yekimak viper5243 Akski Danomite45 tbuck Conspiro-Agnew Kodiak-AK Did I miss anyone? We'll let this run for a while to see if we can get some more. I guess we should come up with some rules now, price cap? should they be firearm related? should we randomly see who gets who? |

Count me in.....sounds like a great way to meet my new neighbors.

Waiting on approval from the powers that be
Please do not take it any further until we get the green light |

Awaiting the verdict. |

Right there is the demonstrates damage caused by that last incident that is unforgivable.
|

Also, we need to bring in our Island brethren in on this. I could seriously use some Kona coffee that isn't like 12 years old and stale.
|
|
IF, it gets OK'd I think it would be cool to random pair an AK member and a HI member for the exchange
They send us kona coffee and women, we send them muktuk and women Defintely a win on our end |
|
Quoted: They send us kona coffee and women, we send them muktuk and women ouch. |
|
We don't have any spare women, let's send them muktuk and oosik.

Now I am wondering if I needed site staff approval for the lunches we had together. Unfortunately we've had ppl take advantage of these things in the past. This has caused us to be very strict in how these things may go forward. I'll discuss the rules with your Mod and he can then deal with the OP about all this. Once all the details are worked out, and the rules can be met, you will then be able to move forward. |

Wow, this train got derailed, maybe as part of the rules the exchange list will be posted (was planning on that anyways) Everybody will have to take pictures of what they sent and received, Packages must be sent insured and delivery comf, Maybe we could all ask a mods permission if the item we choose to send is appropriate, the MSRP's of each item must match exactly. Better yet everybody must send the exact same item to each person, under Obama's share the wealth program, everybody that receives an item must send it to someone that didn't participate.
Seriously though, awaiting approval by mods. |

Don't make me try to bribe anyone to have a free, participate only if you want to, Christmas Exchange
ETA: And in case no one has humor on Monday.....patiently awaiting MOD approval |

Seriously though, awaiting approval by mods. Hey guys, hope you're all staying warm up there... NY is starting to feel like Alaska! Anyway, just a little insight as to why they need to have some rules. In the past folks have signed up, agreed to exchange gifts, received one and never sent it... or claimed they sent it and it never arrives and they conveniently didn't have any tracking information. Somebody ends up scoring and somebody gets fucked. Because of that they started requiring things like tracking information, or emailing the mods when gifts arrived... and in some cases banning people who fucked others over. Probably less likely to happen in a HTF where a lot of you know each other, but the board always feels a moral responsibility when these events transpire, even if there is no legal responsibility. The board is only as good as its reputation, and I think (not speaking officially here) that they would rather be viewed as cautious but scandal-free over fun loving and free-wheeling but a place where people get scammed. Anyway, if this moves forward who wants to adopt me? I owe you fine men and women my thanks for getting my mentor Sean O'Keefe and his son safely home from that horrible plane crash. Prayers for those who didn't make it. |
