With Wild busy, YLO offered to jump in for this holiday season. But being spread thin between several shops, FCFC will just have some simple White Elephant games for Christmas this year. It's YLO's favorite game and with all coloring done upfront, it's a great game to run during a busy season.
White Elephant
Three games of White Elephant will run this year. In each one you will be getting a new FCFC by playing the well known gift swapping game. There will be a regular White Elephant for each species (dogs and cats) PLUS a Thrifty White Elephant. All of them cost no SG to join, but for Thrifty WE you must enter one of your own FCFC as a prize (a fun alternative to regular trading)!
Sign-ups for Thrifty White Elephant close at the end of December 11.
Sign-ups for Doggo White Elephant close at the end of December 14.
Sign-ups for Kitty White Elephant close at the end of December 18.
To sign up, fill out this form:
[color=red][b]White Elephant[/b][/color]
Your username:
Type of White Elephant: thrifty/cat/dog (multiple options allowed)
Would you like a ping on Discord when it's your turn: Yes/No
If signing up for Thrifty White Elephant, sent YLO a PM on Discord or Secundi with a link to the pet you're entering. This is to keep the exact prizes secret from others! By entering it in Thrifty White Elephant, you agree to keep this pet until the event ends and not otherwise trade/sell/gift it. Your entry may NOT be a completely plain pet, but must have some form of white markings and/or a pattern.
Rules & How To Play
- Games will usually start the day after signups close.
- There will be presents equal to the number of players. Each one hides a random premade.
- Player order is randomly determined at the start of the game.
- On each turn, a player can pick between opening or stealing a present.
- The game ends once all presents are opened. You keep the gift you were holding.
- If the first player never got stolen from, they get a free semi custom to make up for it.
- Games may run simultaneously. Please post in the right colors to avoid confusion!
- Once it's your turn, you will have 48 hours to respond. Otherwise, we will skip your turn for now. If it happens a second time you'll be dropped out. You will still get a present, but it will be whatever is leftover. If life happens and you wish to drop out voluntarily, just PM me to let me know. If multiple people drop out, I will randomly assign the remaining presents to those players.
- If it's your turn in a game, you do one of the following:
a. You post 'I want to open [insert present number]' in the color I assigned to that game.
- If this happens then players must wait for YLO to open it and reveal the pet. After this play continues to the next person in line who doesn't have a gift.
OR
b. You post 'I want to steal [insert present number] from [insert user]' in the color I assigned to that game.
- A gift can only get stolen three times. We will keep track of this publicly. Once it gets stolen three times it "freezes". The person who owns the frozen gift at that point will keep it.
- If someone's gift is stolen it's now immediately their turn again. They may open a new gift or steal any unfrozen gift except the one that was just stolen from them.
If someone stole from you, you can play your turn without waiting for me to say so. Of course if you open something new, you must then wait for me to reveal it before play can continue again.

Due to a big setback with my health I'm postponing all events by exactly 1 month (so Dec 10 becomes Jan 10 for example). Sign-ups can continue until then. If someone needs to drop out due to the dates changing, feel free to reach out and I'll get you a pet another way.

And that's a wrap for this one too!
I'll get these moved over to their new homes. Look forward to another event soon!
OK, they should all be in their new homes now. I hope you had fun <3
I also added a rule this year that the first person for each game would get a free semi custom if they never got stolen from. This is to make it more fair, as this person basically got a random premade without a chance to steal.
This happened in 2 of our 3 games, so Aralie and Sea you get a free semi!

Oooo, my new kitty is lovely! I had a really hard time deciding between opening the last one, or stealing... Sea's ragdoll, so I'm pretty excited that I still ended up with a stunning ragdoll XD
Always fun when things work out like that XD I'm happy you enjoy your new kitty Lectral! I'll get the two semis colored within the week. Two new events are in the works, but I likely won't be coloring anything for it til a few weeks from now. I made this 4 week rotation schedule where one out of every 4 weeks is Secundi-focused.
Semi custom deliveries!
