As the exchange comes to an end...

[teh yoshi]

Well, I must say, the turn out has been much higher than I had expected! Even more so than last year's of 35 participants. I guess that just goes to show that we're still definitely one kicking and alive community! I'd love to thank all those who participated, and especially those who have returned from a long absence from there boards just to participate for some classic good times. I truly hope you lot continue to stick around this time and really make this Yoshi board a much more happening place!

Unfortunately, I also have to include that some people did not receive their gifts on time for whatever reason on the Santa's part. Even I didn't quite live up to my own expectations, which is a real shame. I'll try and have a word with those who didn't contribute their part and I'll be listing here those who were left out:

• Damian
  
• red.yoshi
  
• Paranoshi
  
• reallymightbegone
  
• Coral Yoshi
  
• Rocky
  

You can view the match list here: thesecretsanta.com/viewmatchlist.cfm?digro=de34432q

If any of you out there have the heart to give there guys a nice gift for the holidays, I'd truly appreciate it.

And don't forget, posting commentaries on gifts will end January 30 and this board will be locked.

Don't worry - to those who did not get a gift for whatever reason, I will be dealing swift and deadly revenge to those who have wronged you.

Let's get some volunteers up in this hizzouse!

[Blitzzoshi]

Wait, I'm pretty sure Twi got his gift? You might want to fix that.

[Rackinac]

Yeah; Twi got his.

Anyway, I'll draw red.yoshi. I'll have it in soon.

[Lord of the Dance]

I'll draw Coral if that's alright.

[Twi]

In regards to my gift, I think teh got confused because said person who got me didn't hand in a gift, but Pawy got me a gift, so whoever Pawy got is the person who hasn't got the gift.

I'll do a gift, don't mind who.

EDIT: I just rolled a dice to decide, i'll do Paranoshi. Chances are another video or something of the sorts.

[Fluory]

Contention wasn't sure if he could do Twi on time for Christmas, so we switched people. I was hoping he'd actually get his in by now, though. I don't believe he's even started/tried.

I can draw Rocky now that it's obvious Contention isn't coming through. Is that all right?

[teh yoshi]

Definitely, go for it! Thanks, guys!

[red.yoshi]

No worries on getting me done and no hard feelings to my Santa Despite the loss of my hand-eye coordination, I'm still pretty talented at painting words onto grains of rice.;. Whoever he or she was sent me an e-mail awhile ago (before the submissions closed) apologizing and saying that they would get the picture in a.s.a.p. I don't mind Despite the loss of my hand-eye coordination, I'm still pretty talented at painting words onto grains of rice.;;. Thanks Gem for volunteering, and I'm more than happy to help out and draw the unfortunates despite my hideous artwork.

I freed up some time so I can lend a paw in drawing whoever didn't get their SS gift. Damian, I choose you. Hope you don't mind traditional work.

[Mel]

I would be glade if I can help out, so I gonna choose reallymightbegone if you don't mind.^^

[Twi]

Just to update on me getting something for Paranoshi, just needs uploading, which I'm having trouble with.

[Twi]

Double post LOL

Video encoding and uploading keeps failing, may be a couple of days until I sort that out. If I don't have it done by the deadline I'll post it in Yoshiart, but it should be ready by Wednesday.
