Hello everyone, born again RU main btboy here to help revive the rich tradition of RU Secret Santa. We’re kicking this off a little late in the season, but better late than never and we’ll save the holiday season yet.
As most of you probably know, Secret Santa is an event in which the members of a community anonymously exchange gifts between themselves. In this particular Secret Santa - which works similarly to a teambuilding workshop - each person who signs up will PM me with a Pokemon or a core (I'll provide more information on this below) they'd like someone else to build a team with. Afterwards, everyone who joined the project will receive one of the aforementioned ideas and will have to build a team with it before the submission deadline. Finally, the teams will be sent to the people who requested them and this thread will be used for further discussion. Easy, isn't it? Let's get to the rules then!
General Rules:
Sign-up deadline: Friday, December 17th 11:59 PM GMT -5
Building deadline: Friday, December 31st 11:59 PM GMT –5

General Rules:
- Post "in" or whatever else you want to (as long as the intent is clear) to join.
- Don't sign up if you can't guarantee that you'll be able to finish building a team in time.
- Avoid telling people what request you sent/got, as it could ruin the project's purpose.
- Each request submission should be sent to me through Smogon PM. You don't need to do it right after signing up, but if you fail to do it before the deadline, your sign up will be void.
- Requests will be looked at on a case-by-case basis. It is preferred that requests be limited to viable Pokemon. Low usage threats with a defined niche may be acceptable, but I will likely ask you to be more considerate of your Secret Santa if you make a request like “Choice Specs Ferroseed.”
- Cores are usually preferred over individual Pokemon unless one of the Pokemon is known to be hard to build around or otherwise uncommon. Once again, this will be looked into on a case-by-case basis, and while I might not directly enforce anything, I could end up suggesting changes.
- Requesting specific sets on your Pokemon or core is allowed.
- After sign-ups close, I'll use the same PM each user sent with their request in order to let them know the Pokemon or core that was assigned to them.
- Once you're done building, post the team you made on the thread and share the gift! (Try to add a small description to make your gift even better!)
- You don't have to wait until the building deadline to share your gift, share it whenever you feel comfortable with it!
- Don't be afraid to join just because you feel like your teambuilding skills aren't up to par. It’s the thought that counts!
- I encourage you to build and test with other members of the SS RU community, as this time of year is one in which families/communities spend time together.
- You're allowed to change requests until the sign-up deadline, but avoid doing it if possible, as it could lead me into making mistakes.
Sign-up deadline: Friday, December 17th 11:59 PM GMT -5
Building deadline: Friday, December 31st 11:59 PM GMT –5
