It seems that we didn't hit our goal, for all gifts to be received before Xmas day. I think we had the worst outcome regarding this detail, compared to the former years. 4-5 people didn't receive, unless someeof them just didn't update their status here. If they do I'll post the current xls later today.
Merry Christmas to everybody.

Just because they haven't arrived yet doesn't mean they won't arrive.

I have faith, and if that fails I have backup presents.

Let me know if you need any back-ups down-under (Oz), I can help out.

Thank Greg!

I have faith that all MTO members will be looked after one way or another. We look after our own!

According to this:

I fell asleep when mine was delivered. Have to go to the post office can't get there until Tuesday 😔😔

Josh should have gotten his.

Mines on it's way as well.

He sent it out over a month ago, should arrived long ago unless something went wrong.

hiraethus · **Reply #316 on:** December 27, 2016, 10:45:08 AM

Wait, who did the dude send his gift to? I sent mine to Germany on the 25th Nov.

Kampfer · **Reply #317 on:** December 27, 2016, 07:18:19 PM

So we have two people sent to Germany while Josh is the only one in Germany?

jerseydevil · **Reply #318 on:** December 27, 2016, 07:54:49 PM

You can take my name off the list. I got very sick and never sent Josh my address, so I don't consider myself in this.

kkokkolis · **Reply #319 on:** December 27, 2016, 08:12:37 PM

Sick? You look very strong and healthy in your Avatar. I hope you are alright now.

Then we have irona, Kampfer and kkokkolis. It seems that two packets went to Germany (we only assume they went to the same person, but we don't know if they did, how come and why).

Kampfer and me, we are active here, in contrast with the other folks.

I don't know about you, but I believe that the traditional way of our exchange was superior. I won't participate again in a rip off of another forum initiative. They should copy this forum if they are brave and wise enough, we should just be ourselves on the other hand.

Kampfer · **Reply #320 on:** December 27, 2016, 08:49:36 PM

At this point, there is no point keeping things secret anymore.
Can the person who are assigned to send gifts to irona, kkokkolis & Kampfer sound off so kkokkolis can update his list and try to figure things out?

Dude & hiraethus, also please let kkokkolis know who did you send gift to.

I am not calling this a rip off yet but sure things didn't go smoothly as we hoped, for one reason or another.

kkokkolis · **Reply #321 on:** December 27, 2016, 08:56:37 PM

I see here http://www.thefreedictionary.com/rip-off that rip-off has several meanings. I meant "imitative", not "exploitative".

irona · **Reply #322 on:** December 27, 2016, 11:03:46 PM

Take my name off the list too, please.

Did you send anything?
Did you receive anything?

kkokkolis · **Reply #324 on:** December 28, 2016, 12:26:16 AM

OK, it still is confusing, but the spreadsheet will help. It's like Murder in Orient Express, or a Sudoku if you like.

Jerseydevil and Irona are out. Jerseydevil already explained and Irona posted a while ago, saying he hadn't received a name. I guess he was left out for some reason.
Grant sent his own gift to Whoey, who wouldn't participate in sending a gift.
TheDude received a gift from an unknown member. Longshot guess: He might be T14. But I might be mistaken. T14 might inform us.

If all the above are true, then:

Josh613,
Kampfer &
kkokkolis

should receive from

hiraethus,
Josh613 &
TheDude.

BUT, it seems that hiraethus and TheDude, they BOTH sent to Josh613.

BUT, then, Josh613 should send to both Kampfer and kkokkolis? That couldn't be. Kampfer and kkokkolis didn't receive anything yet and we have no hints if anything was ever shipped.

We are down to a paradox here. If the Santa was Secret, we wouldn't be able to make it out. But, with the way we used to track the gifts the former years, it is obvious that something went wrong this way: Two parcels went to Germany to the same recipient (since only one lives in Germany) and we have no knowledge if any parcel was ever shipped from Germany. Also, Josh613 received at least one gift more than a month ago, but he didn't post any pictures of the contents, as he was supposed to do.

hiraethus, Josh613, T4 and TheDude could clear it up, if they tell everybody to whom they sent.

Kampfer · **Reply #325 on:** December 28, 2016, 12:36:10 AM

So much mystery

kkokkolis · **Reply #326 on:** December 28, 2016, 12:45:19 AM

We are down to the nodal point of the mystery.

Okay I'll get into it straight away

That was 26 hours ago.

Where did you find that quote? Josh613's last post was on December 4, although he was active two days ago and sent at least one personal message recently.

Yes, that is the PM he sent me yesterday.
