Had an elfster msg saying someone got a gift from me... Iv not posted mine yet lol

think i had the same msg

 

[cainer]

I thought secret santa was supposed to be secret. All you guys posting when you've posted (or not posted) your gifts are making it fairly easy to narrow it down. Pfft, rookies

theres always one or two that give it away
Elfster has its own system that allows you to mark gifts sent or received... Anonymously!

 

[cainer]

^^ i wouldnt be too specific mate, you might give the game away

 

[cainer]

I thought Elsfter would email me when my santa asked a question but apparently not

it should do, it did for me.
these are the only options available as host...

none of these options stop you getting emails from your SS
notifications to you should be 'on' as default in the settings your end

 

[cainer]

thats just rotters saying publicly that he's posted out to his victim today

 

[cainer]

If I use the 'Mark Gift as Sent' button and enter the tracking number, will the recipient see the tracking info?
It shows the address of the post office it was sent from so it would be quite easy to work out who I am.

yes they will,
but i dont think people are actively trying to work out who the SS might be, so adding tracking info is ok to do....
although a lot of people seem to want to give the game away by giving too much details on here

 

[cainer]

^^ that must have given the postman a chuckle

 

[cainer]

Mine arrived

op updated

Two parcels for me with neighbours. One is a kettle and I'm not expecting anything else so possibly my SS. It's like Christmas eve

confirm if it is so i can add you to the received list in the op

 

[cainer]

I have just realised a massive **** up i've done you can all laugh at me when my victim reveals it. I'm sure my victim is eagle eyed enough to realise my mistake.

you forgot to plug in one of the GTX 1080's in the custom build your sending to your victim??

 

[cainer]

still waiting patiently... despite my constant posts I'm not worried I trust this group ... honest

a few people have still to post out due to one reason or another, but from what ive been told im expecting everyone to have posted out by the end of this weekend,
im expecting everyone to have received their gift by the middle of next week

 

[cainer]

I have received my present from my SS

nice, OP updated

 

[cainer]

got tracking info from my SS says it should be with me on tuesday, tyty

 

[cainer]

I received one of two parcels the other day. I replied to my SS on Elfster but didn't post here.

Thanks again SS

one of two? if your still waiting for one then confirm here when you have it please

 

[cainer]

Yeah my SS sent me his name via elfster telling me mine had been disptached to me

everyones expecting a pressie from rotters

 

[cainer]

my pressie has just arrived, thanks SS
looks like Collect Plus has a good old game of football with it :/
i would have given the driver some grief but my flat mate signed for it

 

[cainer]

still witing for a lot of people to confirm delivery...

 

[cainer]

Does anybody recognise this parcel? I picked it up from the royal mail but I'm not sure if it's my SS or not? I don't want to peek inside if it is. I can't think of anything I'm awaiting delivery of, nothing on the label says my name or OcUK or anything so it might not even be my parcel!

If it is my SS, can you give me an indication as to if I can open it now and find wrapped presents or if I should keep it as it is until xmas? Can you also let me know if it's family friendly?

if whoever had kinobestew123 can trust msg me and il pass on the details

 

[cainer]

if whoever had kinobestew123 can trust msg me and il pass on the details

trust msg received, that IS your pressie,
"please dont open untill Xmas day as it came straight from the shop so nothing is wrapped"

 

[cainer]

I received one of two parcels the other day. I replied to my SS on Elfster but didn't post here.

Thanks again SS

Got mine today, thanks!
I understand I'm awaiting one more, but think that's the smaller thing!

I'm very excited.

are you guys still waiting on anything or can i add you to the 'pressie received' list?

 

[cainer]

Mines arrived - did post up on Elfster

yeah i saw that and updated the OP

Oh if you need me to nudge anyone, I can send out infractions, or ban for a short time to display a message... please tell me you want me to do this, my hammer is rusty

theres still 7 to confirm they have received,
but ive had trust msg's from people letting me know whats going on so im expecting anyone who hasnt got theres yet to get it soon
