Hey, all,

We've had a few Wintersday cards come back to us. Apparently people have moved, or we've used an incorrect or incomplete address, and the card has not arrived in the hands of the player to whom we sent it.

I will post the list below using first name and city. If that person is (or may be) you, please drop an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Wintersday Card Address Update." Provide your full name, former address, and your new mailing address. We will check to see if you are the intended recipient, and if so, we'll fill out a new envelope and mail the card to you this week! (Please only write if you are on the list. If any cards are unclaimed, I'll post about it later and find a way to fairly distribute any leftovers.)

Here's the current list:

Lindsey, Calgary
Philip, Quebec
Zach, Gainesville
Clement, Seattle
Eric, Saratoga Springs
Josh, Porterville
Aaron, Lake Milles
Jesse, Stanford
Daniel, Chico
Paul, Saskatoon
John, Houghton
Ruud, Sugar Land
Adam, Red Hook
Elliott, Saskatoon
Antony, Sydney
Francis, Queens
Mike, Phoenix

Thanks much!

I'm suprised you're actually willing to send them out a second time, instead of saving them for next year to save on the handwriting :P

Wow. If I'm not mistaken, I know one of those people personally. I'm surprised ANET is being so nice as to take the effort to do this. =O

Well, you know, Wintersday isn't until January 1st, and I have it on good authority that some celebrants are even now finishing off the last of their Spiked Egg Nogs, pulling sparkler dust out of their hair, etc., etc., so maybe we can continue to send the cards with a "Keeping the Wintersday Spirit Alive" viewpoint, eh?

Wow. From 1980-1984 I'd agree with ya, but the NHL strike killed it for me. You really need to go to a college football game. Those kids put it all on the line for a college degree and some pride.

Oh, and very awesome that you guys are willing to remail the cards. Hope everyone gets them.

Don't forget "aboot" as well... especially when they're trying to not say it.
