So here we are. Another year is almost gone, and everyone is waiting to unwrap the presents under their tree. Or maybe you do this tomorrow, or your time zone is so far away from mine that you're still in bed (US) or have already done it (Japan). Or maybe you get gifts for eight days, or maybe you don't even celebrate a holiday around these times. Whatever your customs are, I don't really care. Here, however, like every year, we have our own little virtual tree with presents for everyone.
(And by everyone, I do of course mean those who have been or become active members this year. The rest of you should just have been more active. Better luck next year.)
Every regular member (non-recruits) has now received 1,000 Credits, 10 Hath, and one Skill Point, along with the promise that you'll have something more to spend the latter on before the next time I make one of these things. (IMG:[

This year we're also doing something new. Everyone who makes a post in this thread can, if they want to, participate in the E-Hentai Yuletide Lottery. To be eligible, make sure to include the key phrase
GLITTERING PRIZES exactly as written somewhere in your post. Do not include this phrase in more than one post (even as a quote), or you will be disqualified from the competition. Make sure to enter before
23:59:59 (Midnight) UTC, December 31st.
The Yuletide Lottery Drawing will be done by a long-time member of honor, the PHP Mersenne-Twister Random Number Generator, and the winner will be announced on January 1st, 2009.
There will be one single winner, who will receive the Glittering Prize of 10,000 Credits, 100 Hath, and one Aura Point - plus a secret additional something that's not been seen before. Good luck to all participants!
So, in closing, to quote the wrapping paper on one of my own real-life presents:
Have a Satisfactory, Non-Denominational Capitalist Wintertime Gift-Giving Season!
