we hope that everyone has had a Merry Christmas!as we approach the new year, it's time to post any gifts/cards that you may have received late in the mail (or haven't posted yet)we're almost complete with our audit and have reached out to several people. If you believe you've been grinched, please let us know as we will be coordinating antigrinch gifts/cards near the new year!if you would like to assist with an antigrinch card or gift please let us know!
also,suggestion box type post here but comment if there are any general suggestions/requests you have for next year. (besides handmade as that's already planned)
I am now scared of entering the handmade only tier next year.
>>284779607Can I assume that we'll have 24/7 threads until the 31st of December at least? Surely my cards that haven't been posted yet will appear before the deadline.
>>284779766we should have threads up until this weekend, then one more weekend thread the weekend after.
>>284779777Understandable. Thanks for your service.
>>284779630Please don't split the lowest tier. I come from the future and it was an awful idea
Are we getting stats this year?
>>284780001hello, I'm stats
BR of CA thank you for the Kotomine! He was really great in FSN and Zero, I liked him throughout his story, I was a bit surprised you didn't like him after Zero! Thank you for the stickers as well, I have no idea who the AoT fellow is, but thank you for these extra buddies, merry Christmas!
ZS from GreeceI have finally acquired your gift! I think I found out why they didn't deliver it on the 23rd, there was a very minor typo on the apartment number. Anyone with half a brain could have figured out my correct address (it was literally 1 letter off and the rest of the address was correct) but I suppose the mailmen around here don't. I will open and post the actual gifts and snacks in a couple of hours since I've got some errands to run, but for the time being I read your card. Damn, you weren't lying when you said you were gonna spoil me. No wonder the package almost weighed 10 kg. The drawings are so damn cute, I love them :DD especially Kaiji getting his ass kicked by Gaen in (what I presume is) Minefield Mahjong and Tonegawa having a nice grillout with Kaiki. And no, Kino's real name is Kino, Sakura is merely the name her parents gave her. Yes, Hermes can actually talk, for some reason someone decided it would be a good idea to invent sentient vehicles in the Kino universe, they explore the concept and its implications a little more in the novels. The final episode was pure kino and I feel like the show wouldn't be as memorable if it wasn't so tragic. I wouldn't have minded getting les big beans since I fucking love beans but you sent me so much stuff and they all sound really nice so I can't complain at all.
>>284780410>almost weighed 10 kgwhat
Just opening the box it was sent in on Christmas and responding now. Card says open before Christmas and reveals Santa is Jew-kun... Looks like I missed out on this being secret H/a/nukkah gifts. Thanks for the gifts, It was definitely mildly embarrassing how long it took me to put some of the pieces together. Even though you had mentioned Madoka in your card, when I opened the box I saw the bottom of the dress first and thought oh nice a Madoka figure; then saw the rest, nice crossover. Went back to the card to see if you left initials to thank you by and see the little crab again. As you can tell I’m pretty smart, it’s a good thing the safety sticker on the back of the plate says suitable for children, I think I need it haha. Merry Christmas!
>>2847804469.8 kg to be exact. Not sure how since the package itself isn't huge, it's very dense. Needless to say I am quite excited.
>>284779766AX of Canada wow!!>not the RG Sazabi but it was something I didn't have>enjoyed the RG God Gundam, got the HGFC Shining, Master, and bootleg Nobel and booby Berserkers>apparently the RG Shining is better than the God Gundam>now I have the Shining Gundam>and I have the Shining Finger Sword from the HG that I specifically bought on the off-chance that they neglected it in the RG (I think they did)THIS HAND OF MINE GLOWS WITH A CHRISTMAS POWER! IT'S CHEERY GRIP TELLS ME TO THANK YOU! TAKE THIS! MY (YOU)! MY SHITPOST! AND ALL OF MY GRATITUDE!!!!!!!!!!!
>>284780552Looks like you'll stay warm this winter!
>>284779630What is with mirror assignments, subsequent reassignments this year
>>284779630please increase the amount of white list cards so anons will actually send me some cards for once. I did 4 regular cards this year and got 1 back so far
>>284779630There should be a warning about DHL requiring real name for Pickup, UPS/Fedex asking for receiver tax information. The dangers of sending candy on a flat mail to USA as it becomes tariffed. Commercial shipping services don’t offer flat mail service. Lastly, a better way to communicate outside 4chan in case of tracking issues and getting tracking number before they deliver to the address. Thanks.
>>284781302>to USAnot my problem, get fucked
>>284781302How could they possibly coordinate the information for all the shipping logistics between every given pair of countries? At that point you should just do your own research and tell the santas you can't ship to/receive from certain countries.>>284781490He's not from the USA lol
>>284779630Would you guys consider an e-card category? With the skyrocketing delivery costs, customs bullshit from many countries, and grinch rates, this could be an option for people to send cards in time. I've seen more than one anon mention they scanned their cards so it wouldn't even be restricted to photoshop/sprite art/etc. Nothing beats a real card, but this would be interesting for people from overseas and make it viable for more anons.
>>284781574Regular international letter mail is quite cheap in basically every country. Think a few dollars at most. Cards only get expensive for Americans when they send them tracked. Customs bullshit also isn't much of a thing with regular letter mail as long as you don't include items.
>>284780410Oh, you beautiful, beautiful man. You got me EVERY single volume of キノの旅? AND the DVD box set (including the movie)? AND the two PS2 games?? AND a god damn Canon-shaped water gun?!? And man the snacks look pretty delectable. My lord. I suppose it's about time I invest in a DVD player and a PS2 (or a machine that can run PS2 games). Hopefully it won't be too hard to make it so that it can run Japanese games. You've given me easily over a years worth of material to work on, damn.I can't wait to try all of these sweets, I'll report back in a while to give my thoughts on them. I am especially intrigued by the 'submarine' stuff and the extremely suspicious package of "grape leftovers". I tried and very much enjoyed little licorice blue candies. The 'noisette' chocolates are nice as well, they're like superior ferrero rochers. I had a little sip of the tentoura, it's great! Really tasty and refreshing, I love the cinnamony flavor. How do you typically drink it? As is, cold, over ice, mixed with something else?
>>284781533Not all of them but the big ones with common information that you can find on Google or their website.
>>284781760That anon always has such large and cool packages. I've gotten those hazelnut chocolates from him (or some other Greece anon) before with a card and they're top tier. Maybe I should order a bag of them..
EM of UT it's great to see you again this year! Thank you so much for the card and all the extras!Mapo tofu is great and looking forward to making gyudon, thank you.The rocks you found and polished are so pretty, I will take good care of them and treasure them! I showed them to my mom and she thought it was the coolest thing ever too. The red horn coral is particularly pretty with the level of detail you can see in it. It's hard to photograph and have that come through. I'll research the great oxidation event too, sounds like a fun thing to learn about.I saw some baseball games in tokyo but otherwise had a pretty typical touristy solo trip, but I had a lot of fun and I'm missing it still! I haven't gotten far into the CITY manga but its reputation intrigues me and may resonate better than the anime did.I hope you had a very merry christmas and you have a great 2026 too!
Eighth card of the year is here! Thank you so much, ADL from South Africa!Alright, what do we have here. An effect monster with NO once per turn restrictions? Anon, you crazy madman. You can't just print a card like this in the modern game, do you have any idea about how many infinite loops and OTK's this effect would cause? Next time put a Hard OPT clause on that effect, you maniac. Also:>Lewd inside >Open envelope>It's just suicidal Homu Anon I don't see the lewdness anywhere here. UNLESS you're implying that some people could find suicidal Homu hot, which is probably true. But not me, I think the hottest Homu is evil Homura (forma de lesbiana diabólica) at the end of Rebellion.>I enjoyed Saya too but it really creeped me out at the time Yeah, reading Saya no Uta for the first time is quite an experience. And only now I'm realising that this was quite an smart combination of characters because Urobuchi wrote both Madoka and Saya no Uta. And I definitely do NOT want to know what's inside those presents that this cosmic horror loli prepared for me.Thanks again for your card, please have a happy new year!>>284781188I went into the DHL website, then I gave them my e-mail address and after that I asked them to please deliver on the 26th. You can choose whatever day you prefer, and they will send you an e-mail about an hour before the delivery. Good luck anon.
>>284782550Where did you give them your email address. I did but it’s just a notification for any changes. The contact us page is something I already tried.
>>284782923If you've given your email address to them already, all that's left is going into this link (https://delivery.dhl.com/) and from here you can choose the day of delivery. And then they should send you a message about an hour before the delivery, or at least that's how it worked for me. Once again I wish you good luck.
>>284779630Make whitelist cards require tracking, not just proof of shipment.
>>284783173This, and proof of shipment should be mandatory to all cards, under risk of being blacklisted.
>>284779630Whitelists:Allow registration for handmade tier 2 or 3 timesAllow selecting handmade tier alongside with regular tiersGeneral: decrease max cardsmerge some of the $$ tierstry not to assign people to the same santa consecutive yearsPut some guidance about when to send stuff
>>284779630Decrease the maximum amount of cards (maybe half) while increasing the amount of whitelist cards accordingly. This prevents grinching by firsttimers that overestimate themselves, or people signing up with different adresses for just collecting cards.At the same time people in the whitelist that have proven themselves to be reliable can still do more cards.
>>284780410>>284781760Good to see everything finally reached you! I was a little worried about the box having too little protective packaging but it seems we both got lucky.When I was brainstorming I realised the gataris and FKMT chararacters would have a ton of fun interactions. I had to cut a lot of things so please look forward to it if we get matched again!>delayed because I messed up the addresssasuga.Someone wrote "retard" on my character sheet as a joke and this is the result, gomen.Glad you liked everything too! It recently dawned on me that not everyone shares my nip-only media autism and that I possibly burdened you with a huge pack of homework instead, hope you don't have too much trouble with it but you can always just do gun reps until then :^] . I looked into things before ordering and you can use both the DVDs and the PS2ge on your pc. DVDs should be self explanatory and you can use the ge on a PS2 emulator just like normal, so an external disk drive should cover all bases. Not sure how hard it'd be to get text hooks on an emulator if you usually do that.>blue licorice candiesYou must have been getting some bomb licorice over there because that's ouzo www.>tentouraYeah, it's great! I always use it when I want to warm up so I just have it straight, you could try warming it up a bit if you want but I haven't tried it personally. Hope you like the rest of the goodies too and make sure you don't fall into a food coma!
>>284780574Glad to hear you like it, I ended up wandering CanadaComputers for half an hour and rereading the wishlist multiple times before going for this oneThought it was weird that they didn't put any seals on the box & I'm not sure how important the box is for collectors, so I tried wrapping it a couple times to prevent damage during shipping.
>>284783948This
>card delivered>no post yetMy Santa hated it, I fucking knew it
>>284785026Sorry anon, your card arrived safely and I was admiring it while cooking. My dog decided it was the perfect time to investigate the kitchen counter and in his enthusiasm he knocked over a bowl of soup right onto your card. By the time I rescued it, it was soggy, stained, and completely unreadable. On the positive side at least it ended up even more flavorful.
>>284785045You have spouted this dog nonsense for three days now. It's about time to stop.
>>284785045You guys should euthanise your dogs.
>>284785080From these stories, they already ate a lethal amount of chocolate already
Pardon the weird angles this year because I am in a Hong Kong nano apartment with about 5 square feet of open space and the only lighting being a single light bulb in the ceiling.And my mom is standing next to me while I open Christmas cards from the hacker known as 4chan. It'd be awkward if there's anything lewd in it.>>284751375Thank you for the gift, ES of Japan! Egypthu eurobeat is something I didn't know I need. I will blast it while driving in 2026 for sure. Also thank you for the Wolbach-sama. Konosuba: Explosion is literally what I watched on the flight to HK, this is a good sign.Try learning some crafts next year so you can join the pure handmade tier! I will take a mixtape from you>all networks I tried in HK are permanently blocked due to abusenice try hiro
BG from United Kingdom, man you sure went for quantitatively packaged presents, and all of them neatly packed! Kids and adults alike were amazed and joked I ''got most presents'' in the end that evening.I'm out of space literally now so putting the nendos on display will have to wait until I acquire big show off shelf, I put the bridal curtain already on wall next to me.. I'll check out some of the chocolate later today for how they taste. Not so sure about the lovely Miyafuji breweries cider and beer, I'll leave one for my birthday in few months for sure, those bottles really got me smiling.Didn't expect you to watch a show from my list but you did excellent pick, Kyrie and her show is fantastic despite the cgi. Also surprised you shared the ''good'' taste so to speak, Magipokabro at that too and Umafag.~Thank you for the lovely presents Santa and I hope you have nice holidays.
>>284770942I'm glad you liked'em>>284776729Glad you like the diorama, its not perfect, but I think its really cute.I got an email from the santas about Sora no woto which was why I thought that way, my suspension wasn't why I made you the diorama though, I just thought it was a really cute idea to make
PA from Greece Motherfucker I recognize the Ouzo candies. I imagined you as one greek statue looking guy shitposting in a greek forum. A Merry Enemas to you too.
