"Dirty Santa" Bounty Idea

Just thought of an idea for a bounty:

Have a regular "domination" styled bounty for the division, except for the prizes, you can play "Dirty Santa", and with hats. This works a lot like "Dirty Santa," if you've ever played it at a friend's house or work.

Everyone places a "gift" (read, hat) into the pile that is participating. If you dominate someone, you get their gift. All gifts are secret until "opened."

However, the next domination entitles that person to steal either the first gift revealed or to steal a random gift from one of the participants.

I haven't gotten it all ironed out in my head, but I'm open to suggestions. Also, if someone would like to take this idea and run with it, please be my guest. I probably won't be overseeing this bounty, since it almost cost me academically last time, and I need a break. :P

Feedback, hats, and all of your base are welcome.
 
It's great, but ... here's what I envision possibly happening.


HWG puts his Vintage Ushanka into the pile.
Marine4God dominates HWG, getting his Ushanka. Marine4God is giddy, now that he has the legendary Ushanka of rabid-squirrels.
Engineer dominates Marine4God. Marine4God doesn't like that, and Engineer wants the legendary Ushanka. Marine4God says "NO!", and is a whiny baby, and won't play by the rules.

Engineer has a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad Christmas.
 
Yeah, the logistics are somewhat troubling. However, here's what I envision happening:

Once I get HWG's Ushanka, I simply end the bounty - my life is complete, as is the doom of every living TF2 player.

:P
 
Its a great idea, but yeh its so easy just to say i dont want to trade. Id suggest to have 1 person hold all the hats that are up for grabs and not to hand them out till the game is over. You could post in the thread who has what and show a pic of it next to their name and when someone doms someone else change the pics next to the person's name ect. Once the game is finally over and you see what hat everyone has the person holding all the hats gives them out to the right person. Now everyone must trust the guy with all the hats and there is where a problem may lie. I would feel comfortable trusting you Marine4God to hold all the hats, but thats just me. You could set a time frame (say like 1-2 days or so) where if you dont feel comfortable playing they could easily withdraw from the game with their hat.

Wow, great ideas Frisky. I wouldn't mind being in charge of the hats, and I promise not to go trading anything off. However, I'd love it if someone else helped me (kept score and kept up with who owes who what hat, etc). Maybe I'll put up a poll if enough people seem interested.

I most certainly would trust you with the headgear bounty, without a doubt.
 
Thanks, HWG. I truly believe it's my face what makes people trust me. And with a face like mine, why not, right?

I personally go to a special place in my mind when I see you. That special place has a name. "Wonderland".
 
Let me know how it goes so I can set aside a hat for this event. I would also suggest that within that time frame where a person wishes to withdraw from the game that if they are dominated and their hat has been chosen they must stay till the game ends.

If you need help organizing things I'd be glad to help you out. Although I'm not much of an idea person so don't look to me for those. I myself can't offer anything off as a hat but I can help you with it if you like. I have lots of room in my backpack if needed to hold anything also. IRL a lot of people have a trend of saying "if there's someone that I can trust, it's you." Believe that or not, but that's true lol. Think it's because I'm so kind idk. :)
