Who is your Secret Santa?

3 days ago

     First of all, this thread got unpinned. Second, because we were allowed to discuss our suspicions I believe MHD might be my Secret Santa (see my new gift! :D) and that Jade's the gifter of MHD, Surrana, Yummy, Will, Milton, DBNB, Anthraxus, Clay, Sent, bhp, Ogre, Enter, or Cat. I know that's an insanely long list, I just didn't realize so many people didn't get gifts from their actual Secret Santa's yet, but (hopefully) it'll narrow down. But, while so many Secret Santa's aren't doing what THEIR SUPPOSED TO, there's a ton of nice people giving everyone gifts. :D

     I just think Jade's giftee is whoever doesn't have a gift by the end

EDIT: OH SHOOT I'M STUPID I'M SO SORRY >< (but the thread's still unpinned)

Maybe Jade's gift is that the giftee doesn't have to guess who their secret santa is. XD

Also, since the thread's been separated, here's a link to the padlet so santa sleuths can access it conveniently within this thread.

Thanks Clay, I think mine could be Cavus.

Hmm, he did mention during the reading competition that he hadn't read EndMaster's stories before reviewing Rogues.

Alright then, let's go down the list one by one:

 

  • Sherbert: No clue, lol. Actually, I have no real clue who most of the people are, lol.
  • Goodnight: Someone with good drawing skills; might do some research later
  • Avo: I agree with her, it's most likely MHD, although I haven't seen much art from anyone other than Avo on this site, so I'm not entirely certain
  • MHD: Their Secret Santa hasn't given them a gift yet!
  • Mizal: No clue who the Kobald Kobabs were, but the Wicked art might also be MHD
  • Cavaus: Might be the same person who reviewed my game, but I'm not entirely certain
  • Surrana: Their Secret Santa hasn't given them a gift yet!
  • Wildblue: No clue, lol
  • RK: Someone who does art more often than I, lol. Might be Avo, but it doesn't look too much like her style.
  • Liminal: Might be the Secret Pixel artist, although they seem to use a different palette, from what I can tell. Might be Avo, as I know she's done some pixel art before, but, again, it doesn't look too much like her style
  • Yummy: Their Secret Santa hasn't given them a gift yet!
  • Will: Their Secret Santa hasn't given them a gift yet!
  • Milton: Their Secret Santa hasn't given them a gift yet!
  • DB: Their Secret Santa hasn't given them a gift yet!
  • Anthrax: Their Secret Santa hasn't given them a gift yet!
  • Chris: Assuming the poem is from their Secret Santa, it's probably whoever has been giving others poems as well, though it's a tad short for that
  • Clay: Their Secret Santa hasn't given them a gift yet!
  • UD: Hey, look, it's me! Anyways, this one might be Avo, as the artwork looks like hers, although other art also looks like hers, so I'm not entirely sure. Thanks for all the gifts, though!
  • Beefhotpot: Their Secret Santa hasn't given them a gift yet!
  • Fabrikant: See Chris's section for my thoughts; it's the same
  • Gryphon: No clue, but they have a great singing voice, lol. Someone who's on the discord might have heard them on a vc, so I'll leave the guessing of this gift to others.
  • Jade: Doesn't deserve one until they log on anyways
  • Ace: Assuming the turtle ninja is from their Secret Santa, it might be MHD. It looks similar to her artstyle.
  • Ogre: Their Secret Santa hasn't given them a gift yet!
  • Enter: Their Secret Santa hasn't given them a gift yet!
  • Cat: Their Secret Santa hasn't given them a gift yet!

All of this is assuming it isn't me, of course. It's so sad to see so many without their Secret Santa having given them a gift!

     For Mizal, I agree that I was thinking about that too but the curves. If you don't know what I mean, I thought what I got had more of her style of simple but beautiful. If you don't know what I mean by simple, take a good look at my gift. If you count you could be surprised by how few lines/curves there are.

     You spelled Cavus wrong. Anyway, there was no indication on your or Cavus's reviews that they weren't from their secret santas, which suggests that (unless a mistake was made) that they are different people gifting their own separate giftees.

     I'll tell you I'm not RK's gifter, it's up to you if you want to believe me.

     Two things to tell you. First of all, I've posted only 3 pixel arts on this site, and the third was a slight progression from the second. Also, because there's so few pixel arts from me I doubt you could have figured out my style and my pixel art style tends to come out different from my drawings because with pixel art some things are easier, and some things are harder.

     Yeah, again assuming no mistakes were made the poem is from his secret santa.

     You got so many gifts, XD. The topmost one, if I didn't get something wrong, has the most thumbs ups from everything on the padlet.

     I... don't have discord... ;(

     LOL

     Again, assuming no mistakes were made, that is from Ace's secret santa. Again though, it looks to detailed to be from MHD (no offense meant!) and if doesn't look as good as her art (again, no offense meant!).

The title for my review gift is literally "From Your Secret Santa" so I'm guessing that's my gift. At the moment I don't have any suspects but I haven't compared it any other reviews yet.

Yours is certainly from MHD, Avo.

     Woah, that's cool, but here's mine. Although I doubt you can use it, for some reason no one outside of my school's been able to use spreed sheets, google docs, or slideshows I make. That's why I didn't share it earlier.

Who is your Secret Santa?

Change the sharing to everyone with the link can view, Avo.

EDIT: Never mind, it's the organization, therefore the school district. I can't even see the document. You can't do anything, Avo, but feel free to keep that as your own sheet.

Who is your Secret Santa?

That's probably because your google account is tied to your school, which locks down access to people outside the organization it belongs to. Similar things apply to some internal company accounts and it's not something you can "fix" on your side.

That's a great guessing sheet! I'll also make a copy to put the answers in.

     Sherbet just got a new gift. It's possible they didn't have CYS open when they did it, but the people online when the gift came in were Cavus, Ace, Cat, and Ogre. The people participating in this event, anyway.

     Oh, MHD got some gifts too!

Who is your Secret Santa?

Is there a bold glitch alongside the italics glitch?

Well, pushing down just in case...

Sherbet: The clue that Sherbet's Secret Santa left behind is "The first mentions of me by the community involved alcohol and religion." So, I've not been here long and so wouldn't know much about things like this. Jade, the only person who joined after me who was participating, is kicked out. Bhp technically has an older account but I believe he came back while I was around, and him be referred to by those two things doesn't make sense. I also doubt it's Scape. I don't really know more than that, and am not wasting valuable time digging through thread searching for an answer that may be years old.

Goodnight: Night only has one gift, and it's really good. I don't think I've seen any art like this though. His hint is that his Secret Santa procrastinates a lot, which really doesn't help. I have no idea for this one.

Avo (me!): Yay! :D I think we can all agree mine is from MHD.

MHD: Well, that's sad! She hasn't gotten a gift or clue yet! Well, not from her Secret Santa.

Mizal: They're pretty good at art, as can be seen by the Kobold Kebabs artwork. However, a little more interesting, is that they heard Mizal liked wicked. To be honest, I haven't been here long so I have to make some assumptions and I won't really stand by this but I don't think it's any of us more recent members (bhp, me, UD, and Lim). Although, this is assuming that Mizal didn't say this at all recently, and that bhp, me, UD, and Lim aren't archivers.

Cavus: Cavus's gift is a review. I can immediately think this is not Gryphon, as his reviews are absurdly long (no offense meant!). Besides that I don't really know much of anything of how others' reviews look like so I'll have to sit on this for now too. Oh, wait, almost forgot the hint! "Burning with curiosity." Hmm... yeah no I'm stumped. For now.

Suranna: She also hasn't received her gift from her Secret Santa.

Wildblue: Right off the bat I'm remembering she requested a pfp. I know, not exactly relevant, just what comes to mind. Her gift is a story that I have yet to actually read and her clue it "through the fire beneath the waves." This may be a reference to something I don't know about, if so that's kind of sad. But yeah sort of stuck on this one too.

RK: This person is a decent artist, but has clearly also used images they (probably) didn't make into it as well. They know RK likes nightwing, so again (probably) not the participants with younger accounts. RK's hint is that his Secret Santa once lived in Nebraska, which I am not able use. Again. And again, annoyingly, I really have no idea who this is.

Liminal: Clearly someone who didn't know what to give. Unlike my earlier guess, I doubt this could be clues your story because I've already decided MHD is probably my Secret Santa. Liminal also told me to stop guessing his Secret Santa, well to bad. ^-^  Anyway, his Secret Santa gave a pixel art. It's simple, like the pixel artist going around giving everyone pixel arts does but saying it's probably the same person wouldn't help me guess them and unless I'm misunderstanding some part of the rules because the pixel artist said they weren't his Secret Santa when gifting the pixel art, they aren't. So they aren't the same person, and I'm fresh out of ideas.

Yummy: Didn't get a gift from his Secret Santa yet.

Will: Also didn't get a gift from his Secret Santa yet.

Milton: Also didn't get a gift from his Secret Santa yet.

DBNB: Dang, what are these Santas doing?

Anthraxus: And we've fallen in a hole...

Chris: Ok finally. This Secret Santa made two short poems. Their hint is... hey, what's the hint?! Until I get that, I'll move to the next person.

Clay: Freak, so many people gifting others but few gifting their own assigned people! At least everyone will have some present.

Sent: Someone very good at art. I also can't find the hint for this one either, where are they running off to?

UD: Ud has gotten 5 gifts from his Secret Santa, including the template and he has some gifts from other people too. His clue is "I do pixel art" but to be honest that's not too helpful seeing as multiple people have started making pixel arts. Yeah, not sure.

Bhp: Ugh, Santas! Stop running away! I promise you won't get tied up like Sent did in his colum! Just come back!

Fabrikant: Yeah, no idea. Somehow, this person has NEVER READ ETERNAL?! Well bhp I guess possible (no offense meant!).

Gryphon: God, can this Secret Santa sing. Still stumped. UD had a good point that the people in discord have a possible advantage here. His hint is "two of the storygames I've published happen in the same universe", the person who comes to mind is MHD with her sci-fi which I believe is in one universe but I doubt it's her. I can take the time to look at people's stories after posting this. Yeah we're skipping Jade.

Ace: Not sure, but apparently it's obvious to everyone but me (or me and other noobs). I also noticed Ace has made this his pfp now.

Ogre: Someone has to really tie these Santas down. Wait no- I didn't mean it! Surly you fear the deadline more?! Come back!

Enter: ._.

Cat: *Sigh*

Wow, you really went full-on detective with this! Good job going into a lot of detail on everything. I know I couldn't have done that, lol. And there are only 8 more days until Christmas, so those Secret Santas better get to work!

Since you're new here, I'll help you out a bit: the person who drew Mizal's Wicked art, Sent's mistletoe hostage art and Ace's ninja turtle art is your Secret Santa (just giving extra presents)! But still, who would have guessed, it's not like there's very similar artstyle or anything like that, right?

Chris' Secret Santa has not decided on a clue yet, so maybe that lack of a clue could be a clue in itself.

     Oh! Oh... sorry. >< I thought so, I just though mine looked most like hers. It just didn't say it was from someone else.

No worries! Those are some well thought out observations, although I can't verify the accuracy without giving anything away.
