Some Ground Rules

Keep it fair! I know it'd be incredibly easy to create a second account to increase your chances, but: Christmas spirit, y'all!  If you're doing something sketchy so it's more likely you're picked, it's probably not fair play. You may think it's a good idea, but once the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future are snuggling up in your bed, you won't be laughing no more.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How will this work?
I'll create a LibreOffice Calc list out of every person who both boosted and favorited this post, then let a random number generator select a number from one to the amount of people who participated, and then contact that person and ask them whether they even want to receive the package. In case they don't, and they simply shared this for others to see, I'll roll the dice again. If I have the time I'll do this whole process on a livestream, so you know there was no foul play on my part. In case you don't feel comfortable with sharing your address with me, we may figure something out (I am willing to give the plushie / package to any trusted organization in Europe, like the CCC or to a friend of yours or something, in case you wish for anonymity).

How long will it take to arrive?
Since the winner is announced on December 25th, we won't be able to ship the plushie in time for Christmas, most likely not even in time before new year! If you live in Germany, you may get it within three days, but don't get your hopes up! It'll arrive as soon as possible, but always depending on how far away you live from me.

Where will you ship it?
Anywhere. I've looked at global shipping costs for this bad boy, and I'm willing to do it once. If you somehow have Mastodon access from the deepest forests in Papua New Guinea, I may not be happy about it, but a deal's a deal.

What information will you need to get from me?
I will ask for your legal name and address. In case you're not comfortable with sharing that, I'll happily ship it to a friend or trusted organization within Europe which can forward it to you. We'll figure something out.

Will there be anything else shipped with the package?
A christmas hat and personal letter are included! Unless you really don't want that, which is fine by me, I guess...

Do I need to donate money to participate?
No. Absolutely not. That would be an illegal lottery, which we are not doing. Only boosting and favoring the post this is a reply to, and you're good.

Thanks for participating! If there are any further questions, feel free to ask!
