Lol, Taysby is probably lurking around this thread silently regretting the choice of ever suing tron...

Anyways, I wasn't here last year. How does this whole "iMtG secret Santa thing" work?

Basically, people sent each other approximately $10 in Magic cards.

Everyone who participates should use tracking.  No question about it.

This.  So much this.

There were a few issues last time of people not sending. I'm not sure what can be done to prevent it. Any ideas?

You could always put an entry requirement of a specific number of trusted trader references. That would put the entry barrier at people who specifically care about their standing in the iMTG community.

I don't think you can ever remove the uncertainty of an untrustworthy person becoming involved, but you can minimize the risk.

I don't think we should do a certain amount trusted traders reference, because I have only had 1 completed trade (one in process) but that's just because I don't trade much :/

I have no problem with doing a secret santa deal, I would like to instill some sort of limitation however,or at least have mandatory tracking... I wouldn't wanna see any problems arising from people getting ripped off.

Poor taysby.. a freaking p9 piece? What are you made of? Does your body produce gold?

Taysby was joking lol and idk I hate to be that guy but mandatory tracking seems bad like that'll cost more than the gift. I've done a few trades and I've always gotten good feedback I send asap and am trusted so I don't see why I'd need to dish out an extra $10 (I know seems like a small amount but adds up for a college kid)
