Hi All

Beth asked me to do the random part of picking which Secret Maker makes secretly for which other Secret Maker. So I made some random shuffles and she’ll pick one randomly when she closes the list; then I’ll secretly send private messages to each person.

So Sign Up in the “edit yourself in” list above.

Kind regards to all,
Jonathan.

PS. As it was a nice little cryptographic problem I made another post on all the details in case any one is interested: [Secret Maker Cryptographics].

I’m proposing the cut off date for signing up be midnight on 12th November . This would give 4 weeks to make stuff (minus a day or two for @jonathanjo to run the shuffles and message everyone) before the gifts are given on 10th December at the christmas/ winter festival party. How about those that can’t make it down on 10th leave their makes in the space prior to the party and collect their gift afterwards from the space? Any objections, does this all seem ok?

Sounds good to me!

#16

sounds like a plan! :slight_smile:

#17

Cool plan!

#18

Yeap!

#19

Ok I’ve closed the sign up. Agent 1 has given Agent 2 the appropriate information! Once you receive your message you have until the Christmas party on 10th December to make something. Please tag/ label your gift with “To: xxx. From: Secret Maker” and hopefully we will have a table we can put them on. If you can’t make it down on the 10th please leave it clearly labelled in the space. Maybe we can organise a designated box or something closer to the time for these to be left in.

Are questions allowed via agents in case sizes are required?

#21

Which raises the question: are there any parameters? Time, expense, size?

#22

This would have to be done via @jonathanjo but in the original game the hat cannot ask and answer questions so I would lean towards no.

No parameters on size as that is not necessary a reflection of the amount of work that has gone into something. Do we want to set a budget and time limit? What is the consensus? If so I would suggest up to £10, or £15.
If we were setting a time limit I think it shouldn’t include drying time etc - only the time you are actively working on it.

#24

I think a suggested monetary limit keeps things sensible, but stipulating a time unnecessary I think, I might enjoy spending 3 days making something for the process, and no one will present something they spent only 5 minutes on surely… (I’m looking at you here secret gift giver… :wink:)

Obviously I don’t have 3 days spare, would be good if I did :slight_smile:
