Holidays are coming up, and as a way to promote both activity and friendship on the site, I propose we create a virtual gift exchange!
Rules wise, we'd have all active members sign up for it, and then get a name of another active member to "buy" for. Near the end of the month, we'd start a thread, with all characters (allied or not) sharing and opening their gifts.
Now as far as the gifts themselves, I think it'd be fun if people created items, jutsus, or other interesting tidbits to be used by the character that they're giving the gift to. These items could then be used IRP by that character. For example, someone buying for my Masahiro character could give him an ornate staff, nothing major, but nice to have all the same. Or someone who's getting a present for a suiton lover could create a cool suiton jutsu for that person, and hand it over in a scroll.
These gifts would need to be approved naturally. And should be approved by PM, so the recipient doesn't know what they're getting. Likewise, PM's should be used to decide who gives who what. Secret Santa style.
I'll let the staff create an actual thread, that way the process can be controlled by you guys, and you can set your own limits. I'm sure we don't want to be handing out S ranked jutsus and weapons to genin.
Any feedback or thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.
