And if you want to give them clues, PM the clues to me and I'll pass them on to the person.
-nodnod-

 

[Minielf]

Does the Secret Santa really have to be 10K or more? I feel that some of the poorer members of the guild might not have that many items that are worth that much. 10K+ pretty much means collectable items, so we'll probably swapping each other monthly collectables.  

[Niphz]

There are plenty of items that aren't donations (yes yes I'm auuld, whatever) that are between 10 and 15k, I'm sure... P;

I'm puzzling over the riddle. Is it okay to answer them after the day they're set?

EDIT ::
AHAHAHA. THOUGHT OF A HILARIOUSLY CRAP ANSWER TO THE FIRST ONE. burning_eyes

 

[t0shi0]

Tosh enters them all. >D

Aha. I heard both riddles before. 8]

OO: I wanna hear Niphy's crack answer. xD
