Trudy Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 1) Can I BE a SS without being a recipient? I have 3 cats and I'm afraid people would be bummed to buy for 3 cats (plus there's *nothing* they're lacking for ) You can be a backup. Though it doesn't mean you will be called upon if everybody follows through with their commitment. 2) If you enter, say, 3 pets separately, do you also become the SS for three other pets? I mean, do you buy for as many pets as you enter from your own household? No, you send as many packages as you sign up for. You may have 10 pets you entered one time total. You may only get a person that entered one pet. System doesn't match based on number of pets. When does the matching start? The programmer should be tweaking some code tonight if he gets a chance, so maybe Thursday or Friday. Depends on when he has time to work on it.

Guest greymomx2 Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Also........let's say I'm NOT so-and-so's SS, but want to buy them/their hound/other animal a gift. Is there a way I can look at their pet's wish list? (probably not but thought I'd ask!) Could I use an evil elf even if I'm not the official SS for that person?

Trudy Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 You can't see other's wish lists. I won't be sharing addresses with anybody, so unless you already have an address for somebody or want to have somebody else ask if it is ok for "somebody" to have it... If you have the address or means to the address - then I'm fine with you asking for people to snoop. And just and FYI... not everybody will ask for evil elf assistance - so if you are not contacted, it does not mean you were forgotten, just means somebody already has an idea of what to get.

Guest greytfulhounds Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I have never done SS before either........if I sign up and I get someone that signed up under one ticket for 5 dogs does that mean 1 $20.00 gift for the 5 dogs to share or does that mean 5 $20.00 gifts? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeylasMom Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Okay, we are in. I entered Zuri and Neyla together since funds are tight this year and this is our first time around. I'm sure once we figure out the madness, we'll be up for separate entries next year. I hope I can live up to their expectations and work out the evil elf business so they give appropriate gifts!

Guest needlenoselover Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I think if you enter 1-10 dogs on one ticket, it's one $20 gift. Not $20 for each dog on the ticket. Burpdog has 1 lb of biscuits for $20 including shipping! Everyone LOVES biscuits!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest greyhound_mommy Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Don't feel dumb, my first year I had to PM Trudy also. I couldn't figure out hwo to sign up. For almost a year I didn't know there was even an events section lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 each entry is for a $20 gift, no matter if that entry has 1 pet listed or 100 pets. Each entry is $20. If people would like a gift for each pet, they would need to enter once per pet. Doing so, the person sending would only have a single name on their information. If you receive info on a single entry with multiple pets listed, they are all sharing the $20 gift. One bug fix has just come in, and I uploaded it. Once we get the fix for the matching algorithm, I will upload that and we can begin matching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bevd Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I'm going to stress here what I stressed on my entry forms (2 of). I have 11 dogs and have signed half on one ticket and half on the other. I do not expect whoever gets me to spend any more than the normal $20 limit. Whatever is in the box when it arrives will be gratefully shared by all my dogs so if you get me, please don't be stressed about it!

Burpdog Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I see mention of bugs, etc. I have not received any emails acknowledging my entries. Is this what is being worked on?

Trudy Posted October 18, 2007 Author Share Posted October 18, 2007 Since we moved to this system, there haven't been emails being sent out for receipt of entry. The emails were when we did it through the ticket system and I did it all by hand. The bug being worked out is that you can receive the same name twice during matching - we don't want that.
