> Can you forward this to the Hellsgate list, please?
> 
> The Pirate Gift Exchange
> 
> This may be a variation from how it’s been played in the past, but the goal is still to have fun!
> 
> To participate, please bring a wrapped gift valued at $15-$20.  This can be something you made, bought, or regifted.   While the gifts do not have to be period, period gifts are encouraged, and possibly rewarded! 
> 
> Code of Conduct
> 
> Prior to the start of the gift exchange, please place your gift in the specified location (TBD).  You will receive a token to identify you as a participant.  Please make sure you have your token at the start of the gift exchange.
> 
> One of ye will go on account and be the first Freebooter to plunder the treasure.  Volunteers will be accepted, or someone will be selected to walk the plank.  Ye will be given the Black Spot.   Plunder the treasure and reveal the contents to the crowd.  Proper exclamations are encouraged!
> Avast, me hearties and notice ye who brought the revealed treasure!  Aye, this scallywag shall venture forth and pillage.  Reveal the contents to the crowd.   The Jack whose treasure was revealed is next to earn his sea legs.
> Ahoy, this Picaroon may choose to come about and crimp her fellow’s treasure or she may search for the motherload in the pile of treasure.  Alas, the treasure you brought shall not ever return to your hands. 
> If you decide to take a mate’s loot, make name for yer’self as Corsair, and snatch their booty.  However, you are not the scourge of the seven seas; you give quarter, and allow your opponent to search for new treasure.
> If you brave the waters and search for new coffers, select and reveal your prize.
> As treasure is revealed from the pile of gifts, the “giver” will succeed his fellow pirate in selecting a prize.  However, if she wishes to be an interloper, and snatch a prize from another, quarter is given.  Quarter allows the hunt to begin again by the person who lost his gift. 
> Items to remember:
> 
> ·         You cannot steal the gift you brought.
> 
> ·         You cannot steal back the gift you just lost. 
> 
> ·         You can steal a gift back after it passed to another person once after being stolen.
> 
> ·         No gift can be stolen more than three times.  It is becalmed.
> 
> ·         All gifts not becalmed are considered the chase and must be visible to all hands.
> 
> Looting and stealing will continue until all gifts are spoken for.
> The first Freebooter was given a Black Spot.  If no one steals his or her gift at any time, the Black Spot can be used to trade gifts with another.  Gifts must be available to the chase.  The game is officially concluded.
> If you liked a gift but did not receive it, please note the person who brought it.  Take the time to speak with them to find out how you can get one too!
> Remember to carouse not fight.  Please contact me if you have any questions or comments.
