I think you can chose any gifts from the list given in the initial post of the RP (or rather the second one, thanks to mispost), and it's up to you to RP the surprise of your agents... or them 'stealing' the gift of one of the participants having already one. The list also gives the order for picking gifts.
The 2018 PPC New Year's Gift Exchange is still ongoing. If you guys want to spectate, feel free, but this reminder goes specifically to Neshomeh, Hardric, Zingenmir, and eatpraylove, who are participating alongside me; I believe it's Nesh's turn last I checked.
The link to the masterpost on the T-Board is here!
And while I'm asking, do you just pick one off the list, or is it randomly determined somehow?
~Neshomeh may have missed an obvious thing?
It was your turn to pick a gift (with Gall Knutsson) according to the list given in the opening post, Neshomeh. I answered because the gift which had been picked up was one of hte ones I had offered, and well... I thought 'why not have my agents drop a comment about it?' to start another discussion beyond opening the gifts.
I thought the person who donated the gift picked by the previous person was supposed to go next.
So... now what, Skarmory?

But the rules post does say this:
The starting player will then be selected at random. Then when that player opens a gift, the agent who submitted it must speak up and confirm that they were the one who did so. Then that agent is the next to play! Thus, in general, the person who will play during each turn is the one who volunteered the gift revealed during the previous turn.Hence my confusion.
How did I miss that one? ... And now I'm not sure about who of me or you is next anymore. Sorry about that.
Hardric, now feeling confused too.
So based on the rule I noted, whoever owned the shotgun gauntlets is the next to go.
I pretty much copypasted the rules from when I tried to set up a gift exchange last year, and didn't read them fully when setting up this one. I forgot about the "the one who bought the currently received gift is the next to go" rule, sorry. ^^;
While eatpraylove and I went by the usual numerical order, the numbers coincidentally matched up so that Backslash took Chris' gift and Chris was the next to go. So I'll enforce the rule mentioned above for this iteration of the event and have all players disregard the numerical order. As soon as I get home from work, I'll wipe all the numbers except for the ones who've already participated and update each number based on the order in which the player has gone.
