Poll for future Bum Events

I agree the Polls are getting dumb.

Without newbs we will have no growth and eventually the Bum will fail. They are the life blood for us. I want to bomb the crap out of a newb. SS is a good idea.

Agree however as you can see from the results thus far, it doesn't seem like too many of them are active

I have over a year in the hobby, but I hardly consider myself a "vet". What's in between noob and vet? Amateur?

I love secret santa. I did 3 last year and went all out! I handed out 200 cigars. Since p*** is gone maybe you should start a thread of what SS looks like so the newbs know what they are getting into and what to be sending

We normally see a rush of new blood in the fall / winter. I thought that was half of the reason for the Noob SS last year? They didn't meet the time and trade requirements for the normal SS.

Those requirements are not something we have really seen much here on the bum. So maybe it's not needed?

We could always just do it anyway.

i think that is the biggest thing but as fall comes and the summer rush slows down we will probably going to gain some n00bs hopfully. @Hardheaded i think the reason the requirements have been waved so much on bum is because we all know each other from our original home but since we are now estiblished here i think in up coming events that may change since we have trader feedback now.

Here is an example of an EPIC SS hit.

Yes. Completely an Insane hit. I just want people to see that Secret Santa is a huge deal and a lot of people hit hard

If that is the case and the requirements would keep new members from participating, by all means have a Noob SS again. We don't want to discourage participation, but at the same time don't want to expose every one to the risks of a new member not holding up their end. I don't think we had any issues last year with the Noob SS and that was open to everyone.
