Samanayrs

Welcome to the third annual holiday gift-o-rama This is your chance to gift Samanayrs, pets, items, accessories, and more to your friends for the holidays!

There will be a number of free gifts, and also some paid ($USD) gifts available. All of the gifts will be revealed at some point before December 25 (probably Dec 24), but until then you'll only know the type of gift you received, not what's in it

To make things easier for me, all gifts will be given anonymously. You're welcome to let your gift recipient know that you got the gift for them, but it's up to you to tell them, not me!

Rules and info

- Please no pouting or complaining if you don't receive a gift, or if you don't get the gift you want. Unfortunately there is a limited number of gifts available, and while I don't want anyone to miss out I also want to keep my sanity!
- Please don't beg or whine in the thread for gifts. You can let people know you'd like a Samanayr gift by getting added to the hopeful list.
- You can only buy gifts for other people, not for yourself.

There also some limits for free and paid gifts, but there's more information about both types of gifts below. Read on for more info

There's four types of free gifts - Samanayrs, pets, accessories, and item bundles! Each type is being given out differently, so make sure you read everything in this post to get ready for gifting.

Each person can receive one free Samanayr, pet, accessory, and item bundle. There's no limit to how many you can gift, if you can catch them!

There's also been some changes to the gifting process this year. Instead of the accessory, item, and pet slots being first-come, first-served, I'll be holding short random draws at various times. Each draw will last an hour from the time it starts, then the winning PMs will be randomly selected and the new gifts added to the pile. Fun!

Availability announcements will be posted to either the Sam forum and PI, or just the Sam forum, so keep an eye out!
This year 14 Samanayrs will be finding homes through the gift-o-rama! Their giftbox is green with a red ribbon.

All of the Samanayr gifts will be given away through a random draw. Each person who wants to gift can include up to three different recipients with their Samanayr preferences for each person. 16 gifters will be randomly drawn, and the first person on their list will receive a gift Samanayr! If the first person listed has already received a free Samanayr gift, I'll go on to the next person in the gifter's entry. If the same happens with the next person, I'll go on to their third person. If all three have recived a gift, I'll go on to the next randomly drawn entry.

Rules!

- Each person can send in one Samanayr gifting PM.
- Please send me a PM on PI or the Sam forum, not both places.

The Samanayrs won't be revealed until the gifts open, but here's a sneak peek at them!
If you'd like to gift a free Samanayr to someone, please send a PM to this account with the subject "Gifting - free Samanayr" and the following filled out:

Username:
First choice gift recipient:
Second choice gift recipient:
Third choice gift recipient:

This will be open until December 20, 12pm (noon) PST/20:00 PI time!
Instead of a variety of minor pets this year, I'll be giving away 10 semi-custom pet tokens!



Pet tokens will be available at various times before December 20. When you see that some are available, you'll be asked to send a PM to my account with the subject Gifting - pet and the username of the person you'd like to gift the item to.
There will be three kinds of accessories available - a Penguin Hat, an Icicle Headdress, and a Felt Holly Pouch! There will be a total of 15 accessory slots available, but you can decide which type your recipient will receive

Like the pet tokens, accessories will be available at random times before December 20. When they're available, please send me a PM with the following:

Gift recipient:
Accessory:
There are 20 item bundles available, each with 1-3 randomly determined tradeable items. Their giftbox is red with a gold ribbon.

Like the pets and accessories, item bundles will be available at random times before December 20. I'll be releasing them in batches of 5.

Good luck

Paid gifts ($ only) will be available every so often as I have time.

The giftbox for all paid gifts is gold with a red ribbon. Each person can receive a maximum of two paid gifts. There's no maximum of how many you can gift, but each person is limited to one slot per batch. So if there's five batches of paid gifts available, you can purchase one gift per batch for a total of five gifts.

This time around, there's two types of paid gifts
Tokens can be redeemed at any time (although it may take me a bit to get to it if I'm busy!), and each one does what it says on the image


Semi-custom token - $10


Breeding token - $20
(please note you can use modiems and one-shot items, just not a combo resulting in multiple foals)


Custom token - $17


Splice token - $25
Prices and options - http://samanayrs.net/customs.php

If you purchase a custom Samanayr or pet, it'll be the usual process - you give me the form, I show you the sketch (unless it's a semi-custom or breeding), and once I've approved your sketch I finish up the custom. The difference this time is that you can't purchase it for yourself, and the recipient will have to wait until the presents open to see the end result!

If you're looking to gift a specific custom for someone, lots of folks have posted their custom wishlists on the Sam forum! You're welcome to add yours too

http://samanayrs.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=2383


When paid slots are available, I'll make posts in the gifting thread on PI and the Sam forum. You'll have an hour to send in your form, and then the winners will be randomly selected!

In addition, each person who purchases a gift will receive a unique item - the Festive Cat Cookie. This is a one-use item and when used in a breeding, the foal(s) will receive one of these traits, determined randomly:

- Feline Ears
- Rounded Feline Ears
- Paws
- Feline Tail
- Fine Whiskers

When slots are available, please send this form if purchasing a token:

Gift recipient:
Token type:

If purchasing a custom, please use the forms on the customs page and include the gift recipient under 'username':

http://samanayrs.net/customs.php#form

Do you really want a Samanayr for Christmas? Maybe a pet, or even just some items? Let everyone know what you'd like by adding yourself to the wishlist!

If you're interested in receiving Samanayrs, pets, accessories, and/or items as gifts, just post in bold:

• (username) is wishing for a Samanayr/pet/accessory/item this year! (just remove the things you wouldn't like to receive)

If you'd like anything Samanayr-related as a gift, just post in red:

• (username) would love any gift!

The gifts are finally open, and what a haul! If you received a gift you don't need to do anything to claim it, it'll appear in your inventory.. eventually XD I'm hoping to get everyone's inventories updated by the end of the week.

In the meantime, here's some info about the different gifts:

Items - Tradeable items each have a point value and can be traded for other items, usually modiems.
Item info - http://samanayrs.net/hqitems.php
Modiems info - http://samanayrs.net/hqmodiems.php
Trading post - http://samanayrs.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=11

Pet tokens - Will appear in your inventory! They can be redeemed on the "Do stuff for me!" board - http://samanayrs.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=20

Accessories - Will appear in your inventory (pardon the placeholder inventory images XD)! Can be equipped to a Samanayr on the "Do stuff for me!" board - http://samanayrs.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=20

In order, here's the temporary placeholder accessory images: Penguin Hat, Icicle Headdress, and Felt Holly Pouch:


Custom/Semi-Custom/Breeding Tokens - These can be redeemed at any time, but I'm away until the beginning of January so I won't be able to do any work on them until then. Ideally these can be redeemed through the "do stuff for me" board, but if you'd prefer not to post or can't access the forum you can send me a PM instead.

"Do stuff for me" token redeeming post with forms - http://samanayrs.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=1735

Samanayrs - Should have your name on the cert already, please let me know if there's any problems!
