The protocol for requesting a gift:
1. Be specific with your request. Please state the Level and name of the ball or equipment. Please do not simply say "Sleeve of Callaway balls." Santas really don't like to guess.Also, confirm that you are playing on the new version on WGT Early Access.
2. Simply post your request and leave the rhetoric to a minimum. Let's keep this thread and event positive.
3. Thank your Santa. Posting the thank you in this Christmas thread is fine. Or posting to the Santa's wall is also fine. But please say "thank you."
4. The player gifting you should post the following to your wall: "YGIOIW" or something similar. Please do not delete this wall post until after the event has ended. For the Santas, this is very helpful information and helps to ensure that there is not double or cross gifting.
5. If you receive a gift, please do not post a second request for another gift.
6. Please remember that this event is being run by regular players. While there are many people who are more than happy to help, our credits are also limited. Santa's bag has limits. It's simply not going to be possible to fulfill every request. We do our best.
7. We cannot gift above a player's level. For example, if a player is Level 52, we cannot gift the player the Level 59 Ping irons.
8. Finally, please be patient with all the Santas and give them time to respond. While every post may not get acknowledged with a reply, every post will be read and considered by someone. At times, it can just take a bit of time.
The protocol for giving a gift:
1. Before gifting to a player, check this thread. In the second post, I will list the names of those who have been gifted. Even though I will try to do that throughout the event, there will be a necessary lag between when a player is gifted and when I can update this thread.
2. Check the recipient’s wall to see if "YGIOIW" has been posted.
3. If you're confident the player has not been gifted, then post on the recipient’s wall "YGIOIW," which simply stands for, “Your gift is on its way.”
4. After posting to the player's a wall that a gift is being sent, then send the gift. This will help to prevent confusion and double gifting.
5. If possible, please also respond to the player in this thread that the gift has been sent.
6. There is no need to post to my wall that you have sent a gift. If you want to do so, you certainly can. It's just the case that it's not necessary. If you post to this thread, I will see it.
