Ah I see....                      

but the important part was, they were the anatomy of his dog form and not his human form, resulting in his banishment.

Sending nude photos of himself to the moderators (he was hoping they would post them to a sticky thread as anatomical references).

Why are you banned?

"You may only sign up if you know 100% that you will be able to make a gift for your partner."
Just a reminder... :P

Oh, alright. I'll enter.

I just hope I can get it in on time...

Enter mate enter! Put all your effort and to something and you will certainly improve :)

plus people improve under pressure.

oh what the bananas! why not man! besides, im sure whoever gets ur present wont CRY nessessarily, maybe just sniffle in the corner, but not CRY....but yeah dont worry im even worse at pixelling but really its just a chance to get better and improve you work...

To enter, or not to enter, that is my dilemma...

My pixel art isn't the best, should I enter?

Oh yeah and i think i should say that if you don't make a present for your partner you'll not only be banned from Pixelation, but from here too. INDEFINETELY.

I kid i kid. But still, i think you should be banned for at least a week unless you have a really good excuse. Since the rules are clear and you basically ruin someones christmas.

I just hope i get my comp fixed soon... >_>

I find it funny how many pixelation lurkers are coming out of the shadows just to join this thing. For now, I'm just considering doing the same.

That's relevant! But, yes, hooray!

Hooray for Howard being outed! YEEEES.

!

Sounds fun! I`m still a beginner is it ok if i sign up? ..and sorry in advance for the person who`ll receive my gift lol

Last year was awesome!!

lol we have something like this too in the Netherlands!
Copy and paste from pixelation:
Wow this looks alot like a dutch traditional activity..  You might have heard of saint nicolas, the man where santa was based on.. We celebrate his birthday (5 december) and he gives us presents etc. etc., but in every family we draw a card with a name written on it, and we make a suprise for him/her 

i registered to pixelation ages ago, but never posted. my first post goes to secret santa.

i join.

I beg your pardon?

I just signed up.  I kinda want Metaru.  D:

You with others of the Banned could engineer your own Black Secret Santa operating outside of official channels free from regulation, and post it on Pixelation in code, so the Pixelation mods are never the wiser.

more like I was never notified.  oh well though, best to the participants!

haha, we have a very similar tradition here in Chile, called "Amigo Secreto" (or 'secret friend' in a literal translation to English), very common in the christmas days.

Nah he just didn't realise...

Also yeah, dw BlackDragon, just means that you can't participate if you haven't signed up on that thread before the signing up deadline.

I'm pretty sure they just meant signing up to that particular activity

"In our case the gifts will be pixel gifts, and only those that previously signed up on this thread will be able to participate."

Holy crap, I just noticed that. I hadn't signed up at Pixelation before today D: Do you think it would be okay if I said I was from PJ?

O and Adarias signed up anyway :P

That's a good point. Present submissions will be sent back immediately if they're submitted before the 25th. I think that's a safe way of doing it. But yeah, after then, submit away.

If you are Adarias, roobv, DrNoodles, rabidbaboy, xegnma, Sohashu or Noveroth, I forbid you to participate in this activity. 

lol
I might sign up for this. Can we submit our presents after we are done with 'em?
