<div class="IPBDescription">IT RETURNS, TOVARISHES</div>Given the <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=105103" target="_blank">smashing</a> <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=107870&hl=" target="_blank">success</a> that Communist Christmas has been in the past, I think it's high time for another!

<div align='center'><!--sizeo:7--><span style="font-size:36pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo-->COMMUNIST CHRISTMAS<!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->

Here's how it works this year, my fellow capitalism-loathing brothers and sisters: If you wish to participate, post in this thread something you can use to uniquely identify yourself on steam. Then, go to your steam wishlist and add some games to it! Additionally, add <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/16130/" target="_blank">Fish Tycoon</a>! We can use this as a flag to help check that you've added the right person on steam. If you actually WANT Fish Tycoon, please report for optional mandatory reeducation.

In years past we have assigned an arbitrary cap of USD$20, however in 2009 we added a system by which you could mention in your post whether you are happy to wait for post-christmas sale, and possibly receive more than one of the games on your list. So keep that in mind.

On the 22nd of December I will take all the names from this thread, random them up and assign each participant a fellow comrade via steam and a forum PM.

Merriment and well-wishes to all. By order.

    I found this in that old thread. Past me put so much work into it, I will re-use it.

    I am in. Can be found under 'comprox' or my steam ID of 'todd.calder@shaw.ca'. More than willing to wait for post Christmas sales to save my buy-ee money.

    Scythe-, please stop yelling at me. I'm signed up...

    Also, someone tell me what games to wish for, or else I'll end up with the damned Fish Tycoon. I don't feel like doing any research myself.

    I should note I disagree with him on XCOM. It should be noted TB is really, really bad at playing games that demand any sort of skill. Yeah it's got some weirdness, but I personally would put it as one of my top of 2012. But then I'm a sucker for strategy

    Maybe you underestimated my laziness, spellman... Just give me a list and say, "Tekdude! Add these to your wishlist."

    I'm sure lots of people here own Fish Tycoon. What's not to love? There's fish, magic fish, fish tanks, fish breeding, fish sales, fish food, and, um .... fish water?

    Let's not play Koi. This game isn't carpy. Snapperfish it up while you can.



    Also, I'd participate, but I'd just muck up the whole system with my ungiftability.

    Cutoff is 10:00 GMT on the 22nd! That's nine hours away. If you want to join in the festivities, now's your chance.

    I've sent out the PMs! If anyone didn't receive theirs, let me know!

    Edit. You were once able to put a time delay on steam gifts, such that they automatically sent on a certain date. This doesn't appear to exist anymore. Did I miss it?

    I buy them, put them in inventory, and gift later.

    Dear Gods Steam is lagging like crazy right now.

    Must be processing all of our presents being sent.

    many thanks to <a href="http://steamcommunity.com/id/Sprengi_/" target="_blank">http://steamcommunity.com/id/Sprengi_/</a> for FTL, Plants vs Zombies and <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/219740/" target="_blank">Don't Starve</a>. Even cooler, it seems Don't Starve comes with a free extra copy! So, anyone out there want it? First dibs do go to Sprengi :P

    Interesting, i was wondering why it said "2-Pack" while it was residing in my Steam Inventory waiting to be picked up. Curiously the Store Page didn't say anything about that. Maybe i should've checked out the corrosponding Forums...

    Anyway, in the spirit of Christmas i suggest you gift it on to someone else who wants it - It seems i've got Terraria to keep my exploration/crafting/survival sense busy now.
