random: sans vs. but
Growing up I had never heard "sans" at all, but one of my friends in college used it all the frikkin' time!!! Now I twitch whenever I hear it. *twitch* >_O &mdash;Dr Ishmael  06:32, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I use it in daily conversation all the time.--Łô√ë [[Image:Gigathrash_sig_G.jpg|Turkey!]]îğá turkey 06:40, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

gift?
Ow a gift. Man I'm gonna need help with that. I have no idea what I should be giving. Weapons, Materials, what else can I give? Arnout aka The Emperors Angel 07:21, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I didn't know that a minimum price range had been instilled. In the end it's the thought that counts more than pure monetary value, so for example a stack of Red Iris Flower or a Celestial Sigil from the Hall of Heroes could be a lot more menaingful than some random gold.

 * Ow I never thought of giving gold, thats for n00bs. I have a few ideas, but every gift would suit a different type of user. For example, give a stack of booze to some1 who likes to party, and the flowers to a girl, or some1 you love. Can't we (randomly) pick names or something? That would make it easier to pick the right gift (for me). Arnout aka The Emperors Angel 21:52, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * A little while before the event takes place (I need to let people sign up), I'll send out emails/contact off wiki and tell you who the person you're giving a gift to is. --Shadowcrest 21:55, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * We will be randomly picking names. That's what makes a gift exchange different from a secret santa (dwayna). [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 21:56, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok then its alright. Do you need my email, or can you see it already? Arnout aka The Emperors Angel 16:59, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
 * If you have an email address set in your preferences, he can just use the "Email this user" link that shows up in the toolbox while viewing your page - Special:Emailuser/Arnout aka The Emperors Angel  &not; Wizårdbõÿ777  ( talk ) 17:21, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Would a destroyer shield be too much / too little you think?(was just gonna keep the +30 on it).
 * That would be fine, I think. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 01:15, 1 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Just a small request, please make sure to notify long enough in advance so some of us can get an appropriate gift. Example I only play on a warrior or ranger so I will need enough time to farm something good. Tenetke 03:03, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
 * /Agree - I at least am definitely going to have to farm a gift up (lol I'm poor), so I'll need plenty of time. Qing Guang 01:11, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * - Ditto here about the forward notice, gonna start farming today. Gonna be a bit o' work but this sounds like a really fun idea. [[Image:NGKnight_Sig.gif]](NG) 9:24 December 5th 2008 (Central Time)

Just a request for clarification: Do you have a minimum worth of item? I've got a couple green weapons I don't ever use and would be willing to give to the pool, but they seem to be low value to the merchants. Would those be acceptable gifts? What about something like Winter's Day Presents? A block of 10? 20? 100? I think I have over 100 of those unopened. Unfortunately I'm a bit hazy on what things are worth. (User: Nylana Greymoon) 08:45, 10 December 2008 (CST)


 * Merchants give 35 gold per green, but most are worth 5k. Some are worth more, some less, tho. Imho, wintersday Presents are a great gift; noone knows what you're actually giving <3 And you get to unwrap presents. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  14:50, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

...profession?
I wondered what that's about. Anyone care to Enlighten me? --- -- (contribs)  &emsp;(talk)  16:56, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Most likely to guide the choice of gift (i.e. give a Bow to a Ranger guy).[[Image:Ereanorsign.jpg]]reanor 17:28, 28 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Ah, ofcourse. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  19:05, 28 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, anybody can use a nice bow (for pulling etc.) - in fact, the only things that are certainly useless are the wrong kind of runes, and they wouldn't be appropriate for a PvP player anyway. Hmm, the difference might be between weapon wielder and caster? I'm not going to anywhere near the ceiling in terms of monetary value. --◄mendel► 02:44, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't want a Fast Casting staff if I don't have a mesmer. Sure, a hero could use it, but I'd rather have a staff my character could use. --Shadowcrest  02:52, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
 * A perfect gift, I think so, for any Spell Caster would be Kerrsh's Staff. LostShadow 17:26, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Over 9000 60!
I think we can safely say that this is the most popular thing we've ever done. 15:22, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Indubitably. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 17:06, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Unregistered entries
Should we delete entries that link to unregistered usernames (not redlinks, but truly unregistered)? There's 6 3 (thanks to Salad) on there right now, and I reverted one a couple days ago. &mdash;Dr Ishmael 20:32, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah. If they're not registered, there isn't as much accountability.  This was sorta agreed upon in IRC. --JonTheMon 21:11, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
