+Fluttershy Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 (edited) I was wondering if anyone would be interested in Holding a Secret (Geocoin) Santa? 1. You are willing to Mail 3 Geocoins to one Participant. 2. You must be a registered user in these Forums/with a history of posting. 3. You must be willing to give your address to receive 3 Geocoins from another Participant 4. Geocoin Packages must be mailed no later than Thursday, Dec 19th. To Participate: 1. Email Fluttershy @ nyallieny@aol.com With your SCREEN NAME & FULL ADDRESS. 2. Let me know if you are willing to ship outside of your Country. 3. You will receive an email from me ASAP, with Your own Secret Santa Mission. 4. Please go the Distance. If you participate, please do your part to make this a fun experience. ** Since you will each be given the address of Your Mission, I will not be part of the exchanging. Unless someone wants to send me a Yemon Yime! hehe. ** Sorry, I can't reserve Participants names. ** PLEASE report in this Thread on your Progress: 1. Participating 2. Received Name 3. Mission Complete 4. Santa Arrived! Thanks for Participating! ~Fluttershy Edited December 13, 2006 by Fluttershy Quote
+Fluttershy Posted December 13, 2006 Author Posted December 13, 2006 Just to make things clear: If you're a participant, you will send out 3 geocoins to another participant,in anticipation of receiving 3 geocoins from someone else. You will email me your Screen name, and Full address which I will keep on my own excel spreadsheet. I will then forward your Address to another Willing Participant. I'll make certain everyone is teamed up. Quote
+MustangJoni Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 (edited) What a cool idea! Email on the way! Edited December 13, 2006 by MustangJoni Quote
+LadyBee4T Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 (edited) So I send all 3 coins to the same person and then someone else sends me three? Is this like a secret Santa thing or should I put my return address on the envelope? Cool! edited to also ask--will we only know their real name or also their caching name? Edited December 13, 2006 by LadyBee4T Quote
+Fluttershy Posted December 13, 2006 Author Posted December 13, 2006 You may add your address to your package if you like. Some people may want to keep it a secret. It's whatever makes you feel comfortable! Quote
+redtailfalconer Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 Secret GeoSanta...Im in! Email sent. Quote
+LadyBee4T Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 Actually I was wondering about thier screen name as I just might like to send out something they don't have if they have their collection listed somewhere... Quote
+Fluttershy Posted December 13, 2006 Author Posted December 13, 2006 I don't think it would be a problem giving you their screen name as well. Quote
+Tank Hounds Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 That's a good idea...maybe to include what site you have your collection list on? I'm in...email sent... Quote

+Fluttershy Posted December 13, 2006 Author Posted December 13, 2006 (edited) Thanks everyone! I am setting up my excel Spreadsheet right now. I will start returning email within the hour! Edited December 13, 2006 by Fluttershy Quote
ParentsofSAM Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 Email Sent a bit ago! Merry Christmas Allie! Thanks for getting this together! Quote
+Fluttershy Posted December 13, 2006 Author Posted December 13, 2006 It would help me a lot, if you post your trade lists in this Thread. Post it once, so that if someone receives your name they may look it up here. Thanks! Quote
Aushiker Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 G'day Dumb question. Should the coins be activated or un-activated? Andrew Quote
+Fluttershy Posted December 13, 2006 Author Posted December 13, 2006 I realize that a "Secret Santa" can be handled in many different ways. My idea is just to get a Participant's address out to one another. If you'd like to reveal who you are at any time, (in your package or later... or not at all...) I leave that up to you. What I would be most concerned with is someone choosing to Participate, but not giving... for whatever reason. If this does happen, please (for whatever reason) send me an email, and say... Hey, sorry... I didn't get this package out in time, etc. This will give ME a chance to send something to that Participant, instead. Thank you! Quote

+Night_Hawk Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 G'day Dumb question. Should the coins be activated or un-activated? Andrew I think most people would prefer un-activated unless you're willing to transfer ownership. Quote
+Fluttershy Posted December 13, 2006 Author Posted December 13, 2006 G'day Dumb question. Should the coins be activated or un-activated? Andrew Hi there, Un-activated coins please. Thanks! Quote
+LadyBee4T Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 I'm in--email already sent. I don't have my coins on any of the sites yet and with 200+ coins it may be a bit long to post here......so maybe I can figure out someplace to list it in elsewhere I do have a subscription to one of those sites on my wish list though but Santa doesn't come early at my house! Maybe I can figure out someplace to list them until Santa comes and gives me that subscription! Quote
Aushiker Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 (edited) I think most people would prefer un-activated unless you're willing to transfer ownership. Thanks for clarifying. Email sent. Andrew Edited December 13, 2006 by Aushiker Quote
+nooks Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 G'day Dumb question. Should the coins be activated or un-activated? Andrew Hi there, Un-activated coins please. Thanks! Unless someone wants to send a moun10bike coin, of course! Quote

+oldnavy59 Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 Do they need to be trackable or not?? Quote

+Fluttershy Posted December 13, 2006 Author Posted December 13, 2006 (edited) **I'm not teaming people up as doubles, Meaning: the Mission you receive won't also be the person sending Geocoins to you. **The Coins you send will be your own choice. Just please send un-activated Geocoins. Remember, this is an opportunity to Give... be generous. You might be surprised, yourself. Edited December 13, 2006 by Fluttershy Quote
+Night_Hawk Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 Do they need to be trackable or not?? I don't know about anyone else but I plan on sending a mixture of both. Quote
+redtailfalconer Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 I plan on sending a mixture of both as well. Trackable and Non-Trackable coins are both fine with me. They both end up in the same place...my binder. Quote

+Fluttershy Posted December 13, 2006 Author Posted December 13, 2006 I have received about 20 responses so far. I will start emailing shortly to let you begin your missions. I'm really excited about this, and I truly appreciate the Holiday Spirit. Thank you so much! Quote

+6 Feet More Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 Count us in. Thanks for setting up such a great idea. Gives us another package to look forward to this year! 6 Feet More Quote
Ferreter5 Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 I'm in. My e-mail is off to you. My coin lists are at: http://www.thewildhunt.com/thegreen/geocaching/ Quote
Aushiker Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 Well I better take the moun10bike coin out of your package That would be fine with me as I don't collect coins as such, I get coins to release . I think we need to remember that we may play the coin game differently and should be considerate of that. That said if was to receive non-trackable coins that would not bother me as I would just put them out as prizes or surprises for others or release them with a Travel Bug tag attached. Andrew Quote
+EScout Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 Sent email, I am in. Great idea. Thanks Fluttershy. Quote

+~tasia~ Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 What about continuing on throughout the year, doing a Secret Pal type thing? Then reveal yourself at the end of next year? Just a thought. Quote
