It's the season of giving and this year let's have a big one! Open to all users this Eggcave Secret Santa will not be one to miss! For some extra fun, there will be two separate Secret gift events for some extra holiday cheer! Do not fret, you can join both.

Secret Swornt
A Bad Santa rip off. In Bad Santa, you don't have a person to find a gift for, you find a general gift and place it on a table wrapped up. The first person grabs a gift and can choose to unwrap it or wait to unwrap it. If the first person chose to unwrap the gift, person 2 can choose to steal that gift or choose an unwrapped gift on the table. This continues until the last gift has been unwrapped and that's when the first person can choose to steal a gift or keep theirs.

Naturally this will take too long for an online forum game so let's just make the gifts random to each participant


This has a minimum entry of a prize worth the equivalent of 500 CC. Secret Swornt will NOT work like Secret Schnee as you will not know who your prize will go to until after the event ends.

Restrictions:
No cave monthlies.
No items will be accepted except for currently available CC items or retired CC items. Retired CC items will be valued at 750,000 EC if released during or after 2023 or 1m EC if released prior. If you are not happy with this base evaluation, do not submit these items. I am not engaging in any trade discussions for this event.

How will this work?
1. Users will express interest on this forum thread and begin organising their gift.
2. Users will send me their Secret Swornt gift by 20/12. This will include users sending me a private message titled Secret Swornt with what they are giving and how they will be sending me their gift (i.e via shop, trade, transfer, whatever). *At this present time I do not know if I want to have a public list of gifts, but after receiving gifts, I will give you an ID that will be associated with your gift.
3. I will randomise the gifts and begin sending them out. I may contact users via the unofficial Egg Cave discord to try to send gifts out faster.

Schedule using Egg Cave Time:
10/11 Sign ups begin.
1/12 Begin sending @mastergemma your Secret Swornt gifts. Gifts will remain on @mastergemma so if you want yours to be a surprise send it closer to the end date.
20/12 Sign ups close and last day of sending Secret Swornt gifts.
21/12 Gifts begin to be released.
27/12 Gifts should (hopefully) be all released by now. If you have not received a gift please let me know.

The discrepancy of schedules between Swornt and Santa is because most of the work for Secret Swornt will be conducted by myself instead of users and releasing gifts on the weekend will help me.

Thank you all for participating! I do want to apologise for my lack of communication and availability, I've been very unwell but let's not bore you with my health issues, it's holiday time! WOOO!

A Swornt emerges from the ground before you, throwing what you assumed was trash at you. You stop to get a better look at the 'trash' and discover your Secret Swornt gift. You wonder if it is safe to touch, knowing that Swornts are made from toxic material. Oh well, it's not like anyone else is around to steal the gift.

But from whom did the gift come from? Who did the Swornt steal it from? You're aware of a group of users who it was likely from but the identity of which one alludes you. Users, feel free to announce what was stolen from you, otherwise the Swornt will announce it on the 30th.
