To celebrate the end of the year, the holiday season and Roswell’s six month anniversary, we are bringing to you a festive gift exchange. You have until December 15th to opt-in to the exchange. This means if you don’t drop your muse(s) down below you will not be allocated somebody else to ‘buy’ a gift for and therefore will not be participating in this mini-event.
Partners will be assigned randomly as we want this to be a chance for your muses to reach out to players and characters you haven’t already, all in the hopes of choosing a gift that is right for them. The partner you receive will not be buying for you and vice versa; all members will get another individually assigned to mix things up. It is not mandatory, but we would love to see fresh interactions between your muse and their partner so you can get to know them and buy the perfect gift!
Below are a few guidelines, but otherwise the world is your oyster when it comes to gift-giving!
To participate, you will need to submit a ‘gift’ for your assigned partner to the @rocketfm blog.
Over the holiday period please ensure your submit boxes are open.
Send all gifts to @rocketfm’s submit box with a little message to your partner by the December 20th.
If you opt in to the game please participate! It’s not fair to others if you don’t uphold your side of the festivities.
There will be a 50 dollar limit to these gifts - so no cars, houses or ponies, please!
We will be sending all gifts anonymously between December 20th-23rd, and the secret gift-givers will be revealed shortly after.
Please drop the name(s) of your participating characters below and we will start rolling out partners on December 15th!
Morning, Roswellians! Thank you so much for participating in the 2021 gift exchange. We had a great turnout, and we hope everybody enjoys the gifts they were given. The lists of muses and their partners will be revealed on the 26th: all gifts are under the cut!
FROM THE MOD SQUAD: whatever you celebrate, whether you participated in the gift exchange or not, whether you are a new member or you’ve been here since the beginning, thank you for making Roswell so special. We have been re-opened six months now and can’t wait to see what the future will bring. We couldn’t do it without you all! Have a lovely holiday period wherever you are in the world.
