| Will the deadline also be increased? Since the names are a bit late. |
currently in a state of denial |
Sadija said: I havent received my person yet. When are the messages coming? They are working on that,you'll get it sooner or later,they will probably increase the deadline by 1 day,and if they don't,the time we have is still a lot so don't worry about that ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶ |

| @YugureShadowmore Yeah,it's the 13 here too and i didn't got mine,but im sure they have toooons of users and a lot of messages to send so we just have to wait,you know what they say,Patience is a virtue ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ |
|
Pretty sure it's 13th at the earliest everywhere in the world lol, 14th in the east. |
Awesome Forum Set by @SenpieX  |
| Yeah they're doing their best as soon as they are ready they will let us know (*^ -^*) |
  |
Keep in mind that the time-format of the event is PST so calculate the deadlines based on that (๑•̀д•́๑) |

Kineta said: So I guess 36 hours wasn't a big enough window? Okay, I'll be patient.I will make a post here once all the Secret Santas have been sent out for each event. We have hundreds and it is a very time consuming process, even with a lot of volunteers. |

EonBrick said: Oh, I know. I'm actually glad that they're trying their best to match people up correctly because the whole event would be kinda worthless if they just used a bot to match people up (not all of the things people are asking for are data MAL keeps track of).zombie_pegasus said: So I guess 36 hours wasn't a big enough window?

Percutient said: Has anyone got their recommendation yet? Or do they send all of them at the same time? I think I should've gotten if anyone since I posted first :D Just be patient there is lots to go through and sort out :) |
|
Percutient said: But do you know if they send all of them at the same time or have they already started to send one by one? I have no idea sorry. I assume Kineta will let us know as soon as there some information. |
|
| @Percutient probably 1 by 1,is the most logical way isn't it? since it's not a machine that makes the pairing,volunteer users (Elves👽) made them.And you posting one of the first doesn't make you one of the first in receiving tour designated user ԅ(¯﹃¯ԅ) |
|
| It's Tuesday and I still haven't received a user for the recommendations? :L Edit: It's not just me, i'm not meaning to sound rude :) I thought I was an odd one out but nevermind :) |

| Important! Matching up around ~1000 requests is an incredibly difficult task, even with a multitude of ready elves scurrying around to help. Normally we deal with ~250. To account for the match-ups taking longer, we have shifted the gift deadline so that users will still have approximately one week. The 48 hour confirmation has also been removed. Please be patient with us and you'll receive a PM soon! As mentioned earlier, I will post in this thread and update the first post once all PMs have been sent! |
| @Kineta Thanks for all the hard work (and to all the elves) for allowing this to happen :) |
|
Every time I refresh and see I haven't received my user yet |
|
that pretty much sums it up instantly, i check like every 10 minutes |
 |
Me too o(╥﹏╥)o |

| Awww :( |

Luzius said: since there's no confirmation pms. I hope everyone will actually be sending/making gifts... IT would suck to make the elves make a bunch of them due to sign ups actually not being done.. Yeah I know, someone somewhere wouldn't get their gift after spending time making one for someone else :( |
|
| Did anyone else sign up for both events but only receive one PM? I know I entered for the Rec event but haven't received a PM about it. EDIT: Just noticed my PM was set to "Friends-only", I've set it to everyone now. Could this be the reason? |

The reccomendations would take longer to pair up then images , since they're scrolling through people's lists |

| Do I have to make only one recommendation? Or can there be more...? I JUST HAVE 5 PERFECT ANIME TO RECOMMEND AND DON'T KNOW IF I CAN SEND THEM ALL!!! |

Cencra said: Do I have to make only one recommendation? Or can there be more...? I JUST HAVE 5 PERFECT ANIME TO RECOMMEND AND DON'T KNOW IF I CAN SEND THEM ALL!!! You can recommend as many as you'd like! Just make sure to briefly explain why they're perfect :D |
| Hello there, I'd just like to ask whether the manga we want to rec has to be completed or not. This is assuming the person doesn't have a minimum or maximum length specified. Thank you :> |
 |
| I received two PMs for two different users, both for the rec event, is this because i requested both manga and anime? I'm not entirely sure because both PMs have specified that the user requested an anime recommendation. |
Fresh_Mint said: Hello there, I'd just like to ask whether the manga we want to rec has to be completed or not. This is assuming the person doesn't have a minimum or maximum length specified. Thank you :> As long as your recipient does not specify that s/he wants a completed manga (and as you said, length), it should be fine. Most important is that you think it's something your recipient is looking for! Rarity said: I received two PMs for two different users, both for the rec event, is this because i requested both manga and anime? I'm not entirely sure because both PMs have specified that the user requested an anime recommendation. Yes, if you opted for both anime and manga recommendation, you will receive an anime and manga recommendation from two Secret Santas. This means you will also have two recipients, but it's not necessarily that you will recommend an anime for one, and manga for the other. |

| uh why am i supposed to pick a manga for someone even though i signed up for anime? |
 |
| All PMs have been sent! If you signed up but still have not received a PM, please post here ASAP. |
| thanks for your hard work staff/elves! : ) |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
