Image limit was reached already and some anons woud like to continue their storytime as mentioned in previous thread, might as well let that other one drop off. No biggie.

I keep catching these threads early. How's December treating everyone? Anybody received their gifts yet?
And, for a point of discussion once kind anon finishes his story time; favourite Christmas songs? Let's make a /co/ playlist!

>once kind anon finishes his story time

My bad, i should've said it was done. I forgot that the last page doesn't say END.

Reposting, then off to another thrilling day at work:
For those of you who weren't here the last couple of years, I did various Christmas contests and would gift someone who I arbitrarily chose as the winner. I intend to keep that tradition alive this year.

I decided to get started with a (relatively) big challenge: Write a Christmas story featuring /co/ characters. Maybe Lex Luthor decides he hates Santa because he challenges human superiority. Maybe the Flash has to sub in for Santa one night and deliver presents around the world (has that been done? That must have been done before). It doesn't have to be long, just something short and simple, but the more Christmas special-y the better. If you're a drawfag and want to draw it out instead, that's fine too.

Send your submissions to [email protected]. Or you can post them in the thread, but just make sure I see them. I'll give everyone a week to put something together, so don't feel rushed. At the end I'll share them with the thread and crown a winner. Make sure to include your wishlist with your submission.

Good night /co/

>>77866334
G'night, anon. :)

>>77866334
Good morning!

>>77866218
>I'll give everyone a week
You should just put a real due date on this now.
Would you prefer DC or Marvel?

I got well and truly shafted this year. Losing my job on Christmas day and my son was recently born. Shitcakes. I'm getting a fat redundancy payoff, so .co.uk folks make sure your addresses are in order. I have no idea what the future brings but these threads made xmas the last couple of years enjoyable. Also, has anyone else noticed that Amazon now shows the wishlists of people you've past gifted on a sidebar? I've got minifigs and a few others on it. Never noticed it before.

Well, it seems quiet at the moment so I'm going to dump a storytime. One of my faves - Sin City, Silent Night.

That was you? Hi again! I've not had a chance to get it yet. The wife was very ill carrying our kid so it's been 9 months of worry and hospital trips. Barely had a chance to play anything. Now it's just baby shit, baby shit and more baby shit. Literal shit I mean, as in constant nappy changing.

Just reposting my wishlist here. I hope everyone's December is treating them well. Has anyone had snow yet? Not even a single flake dropped here in my neck of the woods as of yet.

>>77867870
Snowed a little bit last week, no accumulation though.

>>77867870
You've reminded me, I've not dropped mine yet:

UK: 235AQ8RR6QFO6.

No snow here but it's early days. All I'm getting is rain. Getting a lot colder though.

>>77867869
Aww that sucks, hope she's better now. Even if you don't have time to play, if you drop your steam I'll send a copy your way for when it gets better!

>>77867870
There was a really nice, heavy fall of perfect packing snow a week ago, but it's long melted and now it's just grey and rainy.

>>77867972
She's getting better thanks. Just a lot of worry but the pay off is worth it. She played Isaac more than me and got Plat God. And that's very kind of you, thank you, but you don't have to do that. Plus we're playing it on PS4 lol

Have anyone gotten any snow yet?
We had some like a week ago but it only lasted for about a day before it vanished, I don't have high hopes for a white christmas

Still pretty christmasy around here though I guess.

>>77868969
We had some snow in the middle at about 3am but it was gone by the time I woke up.
Kind of hoping it holds off until I'm off work It'l make my commute a bastard.
Also shameless post of my list

>>77869053
I still remember falling twice 2 years ago. Still haven't recovered fully.

Hey /co/, what's your list of recommended Christmas classics for each year? I figure the obvious ones such as Grinch and Nightmare Before Christmas are on there, but I'd like to know what movies you guys always watch around Christmas time.

That list sure is taking a while to get updated.

>>77870719
Jingle All The Way and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation are musts for me. And Santa's Slay during the 13 Days of Creepmas.

>>77871252
If you like Santa's Slay check out Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale, and A Christmas Horror Story, which we watched last week and it's gonna be a staple in my lists in the future

>>77870719
Jingle All the Way is my favorite Christmas movie of all time.

I usually watch all the Rankin/Bass classics, Elf because it will be on 1000 times, and Die Hard. And Treevenge every Christmas Eve.

>>77871252
Jingle All the Way and Santa Slay are also on my watch list! I kinda want to go see Krampus.

Got a little sidetracked earlier, but I'm finishing up the Flash scrib now, Man-Thing/Swamp Thing up next.

Xmas Comics/Stories/Specials Coming in hot! Still working on that puzzle and this folder is in the process of getting uploaded. When all is said and done it should be about 6GBs of Xmas stuff!

Anyone know if BookDepository wishlists work the same as Amazon's?

>>77872201
Someone should do a story about the Rogues low-key working in a soup kitchen during christmas for the writing contest.

I would but i can't write for shit

Just made this wishlist:

2YTJ8S13O2ILD

Also how often is the list with the codes updated? I would like to purchase something for someone but I want to know who has already been gifted.

>>77872201
Hey Scribs, since Samurai Jack just got announced to be returning next year, think you could do something involving Jack? Doesn't matter what he's doing, just as long as it involves Jack (and possibly Aku if you can make Mr. GREAT FLAMING EYEBROWS work).

>>77873260
It was last updated yesterday. If you want you can go to the last thread and manually cross-reference the list with the codes that were gifted in-thread. I'd just wait and hope the guy in charge does his job though.

>>77870719
"Muppet Christmas Carol", maybe Alistair Sim's "Scrooge" if I'm feeling in a classical mood. Which reminds me, I still haven't watched Patrick Stewart's "A Christmas Carol", and I've had the DVD for two years...

Waiting for my paycheck is driving me nuts. Maybe these threads will be more active by then, though.

>>77870719
I always end up watching Jingle All the Way, Scrooged, and Year Without A Santa Claus. And when I can swing it, I like to drink and watch the Star Wars special with friends. I'm super excited for our upcoming viewing, hopefully I can get work off for that night.

Anyone have any seasonal youtube channels, podcasts, or the like that you enjoy? I need something on in the background while drawing, I'd appreciate it, today's going horribly

>>77875515
See, I'm such a comics snob that I rank my favourite Christmas comics:

>1 - the Alan Scott story in Comic Cavalcade #9
>2 - The Christmas Spirit by Will Eisner
>3 - "Tis The Season" in Uncle Scrooge #251
>4 - "Christmas in Shacktown"
>5 - Green Lantern: Mosaic #9
>= - Elvira's Haunted Holiday Special
>= - Batman: Noel

And that's just off the top of my head.

>Stuart Ashen's channel isn't that Christmassy, but his Advent calendar videos are a lot of fun.
Thank you, that's what I meant; they don't have to be solely seasonal, just put out seasonal content. Though I'm already subscribed to ashens.

I've been adding all of the lists I can find to the full list and been removing any lists with purchases since 11/27 not just when someone posts that they've bought for the list.

I check all the wishlists for purchases at least once a day, I then remove all of the wishlists that have had purchases on them since 11/27/15 and remove them from the ungifted list. If I happen to see someone post that they've purchased a gift for a someone I'll check and make sure something is showing as purchased then I'll pull them from the ungifted list.

Life is so hard, guys.


>>77867094
Ah, you're right. Wasn't even paying attention. I'll probably close it on Saturday or Sunday. I'm more familiar with DC, but write what you like!

>>77878108
Oh, gosh. :3

>>77878982
People can, and have in the past, gone into their purchased list and deleted stuff though...

>>77879024
Hence why you post in the thread who you gifted

>>77878672
Man, is there anything you can't do in Scribblenauts? That's awesome.

>>77878943
Your puzzles are always lots of fun. Way over my head, but fun to watch people try. Looking forward to seeing what you do this year.

>>77879024
I know it's happened, and in the past we've caught them and I put them in the naughty list, but there's not much I can do other then people posting that they've bought for them.

But I try to keep it as organized as I can without us trying to pair up people or doing an email pool and both of those ideas have been shot down in the past.

>>77879042
Right, but Elusive was saying if someone says they've bought something for someone he checks the purchased list to make sure there something there before pulling them from the ungifted list. I'm just saying he could check and find nothing because it's been deleted. Granted I hope no one does it, it has happened.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and Muppet Christmas Carol. I gave fond memories of watching them with my cousins, since Christmases were really the only times I got to see any of them.

Been a few threads since I posted my list
1NVJ8QWRBXRRK

And now Ash's Christmas Horror, wish reminds me I need to catch up on the Ash vs Evil Dead show.

There seems to be an air of negativity in the thread right now, thanks to somebody gaming the system.

So >>77865388 is back and giving a little gift (I keep saying I will stop until Xmas week, but it's too much fun), so consider 235AQ8RR6QFO6 gifted! I know it's just a something-something, but you asked for something that gave me nostalgia so hard I couldn't help gifting it. Merry Christmas /co/mrade.

Well, I think I may have caught a cold walking home from work Monday. I just hope it doesn't prevent me from going back on Friday.

I dont get how this works. How do we know when something is gifted? Is everyone guaranteed of receiving a gift?

>>77879284

I feel you man, this shitty weather has got me feeling terrible (I went into work with a goddamn migraine yesterday), but hopefully it should clear up by the weekend.

Tonight at leasy I've got some hot chocolate, comfy blankets, and Flash/Arrow to look forward to tonight.

>>77879350
Sadly no. It's chosen at random by the gifters.

>>77879350

Everyone is not guaranteed to get a gift but most people will, there were only a few people last year still on the ungifted list by the end of the season.

You'll know when something arrives at your door step. Or you can keep an eye on the threads/pastebin to see when/if your list is posted or is removed from the ungifted pastebin. It doesn't guarentee a gift, we had 15 ungifted people last year.

>>77879397

one was, they only had a $100+ college textbook in their wishlist

>>77879422

I dunno. Sometimes they're just unlucky. If you're active in the thread and contribute to storytimes and shit, you're more likely to get gifted usually.

>>77879422
Really just depends. We don't have a list closure so people keep getting added as time goes on. So the list can shrink and grow quite a bit! You can also just be unlucky or have gifts that no one really wants to give. Best advice is to keep your wishes under $20, post early, and of course partake in the Christmas joy since it's better to give than receive! Like hell it is, it's all about the presents son.

Is it just me or are these threads not as active as they were before?

>>77879545
Giving is fun though. And I am super excited for anons to start posting the gifts they receive in this thread. Speaking of; I bought somebody a book and it was delivered today - so those gift-receipt posts should start any time.

>>77879485
But how will people know who it was unless you add a little
>BTW here's my gift list to thank me for posting a comic.

>>77879545

I got so much stuff last year that I considered not posting my list all this year and just buying other anons shit.

I compromised and only put it up for the first thread so it gets on the pastebin and not reposting it in every thread. We'll see what happens.

>>77879599

That's usually what they do. People might also specifically ask you for your list if you do something and people want to give you something cool in return.

Anyone know if I can use a UK debit card (or paypal) on Amazon US? I want to gift some US anons but don't know how to go about it

>>77879675

Paypal should work just fine.

>>77879675
you can use a uk debit card, or paypal card but not normal paypal

>>77879675
It can, I gifted several Anons in Canuckleduh and Europe in the past. It will be converted to local currency in the final charge. It'd also be good to look and double check that your card issuer doesn't do anything funny with currency change like adding fees, though I'm pretty sure Amazon just charges in your currency and then middlemans it.

>>77879720

Really? I thought Paypal worked for international stuff.

>>77879746
It does.

>>77879746
paypal works internationally but amazon doesn't accept paypal

>>77879717
>>77879720
>>77879729
This is damn good news. A disturbing lack of UK anons besides myself and the 4/5 peeps I've gifted thus far made me contemplate expanding my wishlist perving to new and uncharted shores. I'm very happy that I can.

How do you get the link for your wishlist?

looking back over the wishlist the guy with one textbook, it was £215.00 so yea.... I don't even think Santasied would buy that for them.

And I do keep an eye out for people from previous years ungifted list and if they show up and remain on this years ungifted. I'll point any out down the road to try to make sure they don't keep not getting gifts. But it does make me wonder because we've had people post saying they've not been gifted any of the times they've entered but we've only had like 5 people that were on the ungifted list last year that were also the year before and I made sure they got something before it was over.

thank you to the anon who gifted Me!

>>77879599
You either name/trip fag or do what you said.
I'm not a fan of it, but I'm not going to tell someone else how they're supposed to browse 4chin.
There are in-thread contests of course, so that's not a bad way to put your wishlist out there, but it takes some work.

AND SO IT BEGINS

Why hello Batboobs. I know you think this is the time to celebrate, but what for? After all you'll never be as clever as me and you'll certainly never get a present from me. This first one is going to be quite a doozy. Sometimes the simplest DIMENSIONS can be the most complex!

>My list contains mostly at the 20-25 dollar level.
That's the best way to do your list. You can have one or two big items if anyone is feeling particularly generous, but that's really the sweet spot for gifts.

>>77880588
Complete this puzzle and I'll buy you a gift from your list! The max dollar limit on this particular puzzle is $30.

>>77880588

So everything needed to solve this is in those links, or do we need to DL the things from those earlier links?

>>77880658
The tools download will give you a prebundled setup that includes the basic tools for file analysis/gpg to decrypt the file. The Puzzle link is the actual puzzle box. You need to find it's password then decrypt it with gpg and then you'll get a zip file which contains a hint and another encrypted file. Keep doing this until you reach the end! You can also set up your own linux install which generally makes things easier, but is outside the scope me writing up for you.

>>77880702
please don't post people's names city/states

>>77880720
That puzzle link is on a shady as fuck site, my adblock started throwing a fit. You couldn't just use mediafire like a normal person?

>>77880759
Mediafire has shitty dataretention policies and requires me to bother signing up. I like to use pomf clones as they tend to host indef. I would have used maxfile.ro again, but having tested it on 3 different OSs in 3 different locations it refused to upload so I think they're having server side issues.

>>77880823
Why not Mega then?

>>77880839
Just didn't feel like it at the time, complaint has been noted, and mega will be used in the future.

>>77880839

not strictly /co/ related, but "A Christmas Carol " from Doctor Who is one of the best Christmas specials i've ever watched

Fucking FINALLY got my computer back after leaving it at my parents' house like an idiot.

What that means is that first of all I can GIFT ANONS SHIT now, since it was impossible for me to copy and paste wishlist links with my phone. Secondly, I can STORYTIME SHIT TOO!

If no one has dibs, I'm going to do Starman #27 when the current anon is done.

Had three interviews over the last week, three more than I've had for a long time; one still hasn't gotten back to me (and probably never will), the second rang today to say that while I was answered the questions well there were "stronger candidates" and the third was supposed to have called me this evening.

They'll probably call tomorrow, but still...

I never got around to cleaning out my actual Wish List, so I'll just drop my smaller sub-list in here.

They're poorly written.
He didn't even jot the password.

What kind of jobs are you applying for? Do you have good experience? Are you writing strong cover letters?

>>77881810

I also play vidya music

I'd join in but I'm in also in a small /co/ secret santa group and I could end up getting duplicate stuff. How long will this be going on for?

Japan. Christmas here is more of a boyfriend/girlfriend thing than family based, that's what New Year is for.

It would be okay if I could nip to Tokyo and meet fellow expats, but I can't due to the work schedule. Plus I kind of live in the middle of nowhere!

I get compulsary 9 days off for New Year which I was planning to either go home to Britbongland to meet family or do fun expat things, but realised it's too much money to justify going to see family just for barely a week, and my friends get waaay more time off than me so are going away for nearly a month from just before Christmas.

I wouldn't feel right posting my wishlist thingy, financially I'm in quite a good place right now just a tad lonely at times.

Might leave early next year so it's not all bad! I do like /co/ times though.

>>77881910
It's in the readme. First you download the tools. Then you run the install.bat after which a window is opened and you'll see a tools folder/run.bat, hit run.bat and you've got a set up cmd prompt ready to go.

And finally in a fixed post

Why hello Batboobs. I know you think this is the time to celebrate, but what for? After all you'll never be as clever as me and you'll certainly never get a present from me. This first one is going to be quite a doozy. Sometimes the simplest DIMENSIONS can be the most complex!

My hours arent as crazy as the Japanese staff, but my company is renowned for being almost slavedriver like for its foreigner staff because they know the turnover is so high so they milk us for all we are worth!

I get to work around 12.30 normally, finish around 9.45 weekdays, with a 40minute break, then on weekends start at 9 and finish around 7, same break, with Monday/Tuesday usually off unless something changes.

Vacation wise I get nothing for the first 6 months, then 10 days in theory that I have to ask for permission to use, with no public holidays off and no weekends off.

I'll most likely be leaving at the latest March, 6 months will be enough for me, maybe earlier if I've really had enough!

The main reason I stay is that for the japanese staff their job is usually more stressful than mine and if I leave them then they will have a horrible time getting a replacement. I'm too loyal for that, for now!

Yeah, I've been trying similar. He said to think about what the numbers might represent, but I'm drawing a blank.

Wow I haven't taken part in this since 2012.
The holidays are always a shitty stressful empty experience but what the hell

Not asking for the answer, but has anyone figured out the first one yet?

Substituting letters for numbers! Why that's almost as crazy as substituting numbers for l... HEY WAIT A MINUTE.

Numbers for what? Tell us or we're alerting Batman!

Does uppercase/lower case matter?

>>77885072
There are some solutions that are Upper/Lower, others are all upper and still others are all lower. It will either be one of 3 combinations PASSWORD/password/Pass Word.

First time participating, this sounds like it's gonna be lots of fun.
I only really want one of the stuff on my wishlist. It would make my Christmas if it could be delivered.

In return, I can dump some Doug Tennapel stuff if no one minds.

It's because we're all trying to figure out this hard as fuck puzzle. Yesterday's puzzle was more fun because you had faster, more tangible results.
This is just putting random words/numbers into a command prompt.

Well hey there friends.
It's your old pal Hank! Last night we had some laughs solving an inordinately difficult Christmas cryptogram for a fabulous prize!

No prize tonight, but I'm putting together some special puzzles for more giveaways in the near future!

In the meantime, let's have some laughs and maybe get a little practice with another puzzle!

EWDI JW TELKV YKNJY'F DJXL, ORKKB W JKLJA GWRRJD OXDB, ZUITI K GEXUIT VKJY UIT MKML, NF W PWFEDM TKM XNO UDB.

T = R...sometimes
K is always a vowel
A = Y...always
W = A...sometimes

I ask that you spoiler the solution when you get it for late players.
Otherwise, hop in your hammock and have fun!!

For Box 2 it gives me the error loading iconv.dll, but still prompts me for the password. Will that affect anything?
