awiiya Posted February 20, 2010 Report Posted February 20, 2010 So way back in December I got into a conversation with Aelis. We spoke about how December was so pleasant, because everyone was giving and receiving with joy. The question was then posed, "How could we make this happen at a random time in a random month?" So we decided on a date (today) that we would start a random game. The rules are as follows: 1. If you receive a present, then it is your turn to give something to someone else. 2. Post what and to whom you give your present right here. 3. Try and be generous! Aelis and I will both be started threads. You can start any threads you like as well. The first thread is: Reindrach to Sparrhawk. (if you wonder why, it was random. I was at the Berzerker's Way and so was he.) Let the random giving begin! Awi Prince Marvolo 1
Aelis Posted February 20, 2010 Report Posted February 20, 2010 Hello everyone! This is my part of the giving spree! I am glad we are finally doing this. I gave one gold coin to Shemhazaj, and I also offered a Bloodpact archer, but he could not accept, so I will give the Archer to the next person that receives a gift (if they want, of course)! Keep the random giving alive! ~Aelis Prince Marvolo 1
Grido Posted February 20, 2010 Report Posted February 20, 2010 I'm all for this random giving, but what happens if someone given a gift doesnt then gift on? will the whole thing just die? or...?
awiiya Posted February 20, 2010 Author Report Posted February 20, 2010 That is the purpose of the forum posts. We know who gets what, and so we also know where the thread breaks down. A social experiment, no? Are you willing to risk being looked down by us by not giving anything? I know I would feel wary of someone if they kept their gift without doing anything. Something to keep in mind. Awi Jubaris 1
ladytwin Posted February 20, 2010 Report Posted February 20, 2010 i dont mind if i get any in return but i am willing to give a silver to lady dawn she is nice and willing and a real good one to this realm Prince Marvolo 1
LadyDawn Posted February 20, 2010 Report Posted February 20, 2010 Oh may, thank you ladytwin, thy words are worth far more than silver. Let me think...in crature-departement I dont have anything of worth to pass forth, but instead I am offering to provide a random newby who would contact me with a creature from Loreroot (useful for those who dont have acces to Loreroot yet)and a service to whomever would so choose, as I offer to draw something that the person would wish to be drawn for her/him/it. Msg me, to receive... Thats the best that I could come with at this point... Prince Marvolo 1
Aelis Posted February 21, 2010 Report Posted February 21, 2010 Lady Dawn got the Bloodpact. Let's keep this up! Prince Marvolo 1

Jubaris Posted February 21, 2010 Report Posted February 21, 2010 I want to be known that Crazy Mike gifted me with Deer Hide boots just cause I am LHO (it is unrelated to this 'events' but I figure that is it proper to post it here, due to nature of this topic ) felt bad that I don't have nothing interesting and symbolic enough to give in return, I gave him 15 silver coins, altough he never asked for any Watcher and Prince Marvolo 1 1
LadyDawn Posted February 21, 2010 Report Posted February 21, 2010 Lady Dusk: Gave 1 silver coin to Shantu. Reason: he was the first that I have seen siting by the Necrovion gate. Watcher and Prince Marvolo 1 1
Shantu Posted February 21, 2010 Report Posted February 21, 2010 (edited) I gave Sephirah Caelum a pimped grasan with 65 age. She was the first one who hasn't got anything yet amd spoke at the Howling Gates. Edited February 21, 2010 by Shantu Prince Marvolo and Watcher 1 1
Sephirah Caelum Posted February 21, 2010 Report Posted February 21, 2010 (edited) I gave to Zleiphneir the silver coin that Phantasm gave to me as a good omen to him back more often to MD. Edited February 21, 2010 by Sephirah Caelum
phantasm Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 MRV gave me a silver coin this morning for being the first he ran across that said hi. Marvolo was the first person I ran across with a flask of sand in his inventory. So I gave him another flask of sand.
Mith Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 It seems a lot of gifts get passed around on the chat box in GGG because of this.
awiiya Posted February 22, 2010 Author Report Posted February 22, 2010 Perhaps the lesson of the day (and the one I was hoping to prove) is this: Everybody has good in them. With a small gift of random kindness most anybody will return that favor to someone else. So now perhaps we should take away the idea that no good deed goes unnoticed, and one day perhaps the chain of that good deed will come right back, when you most need it. Give a little, get a lot. You never know who you will inspire. Awi Aelis 1
Prince Lewas Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 I gave to Rayth the Pimped Grasan that Dst gave to me, plus 1 Silver Coin - just because he was idle at Berserker's Way Amoran Kalamanira Kol 1
phantasm Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 Assurancetourix was given a silver coin for being the first person to say she was poor around me.
Prince Marvolo Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 I Gave a Flask of sand to Peace... Cause she should hold the necro items, to distribute them to her people.
Amoran Kalamanira Kol Posted February 24, 2010 Report Posted February 24, 2010 I gave an onyx shard to Falen because she has been extremely thoughtful as of late. She deserved something nice.
