Talk:Gifting Man from Gifting Land

Trivia

If we're going to cite the Christian Bible, should we at least have a link to the passage?Reverend 13:09, 28 March 2012 (PDT)

I removed it because it was speculation. rZ 13:11, 28 March 2012 (PDT)

Yea, I noticed it was gone immediately after I posted this. Thanks. Reverend 13:12, 28 March 2012 (PDT)

Possible reference

Might be just me, but I think the name given to this hat makes a reference to Aqua's song "Lollipop (Candyman)" Superdude 13:54, 28 March 2012 (PDT)

We don't permit speculative trivia, sorry. rZ 13:56, 28 March 2012 (PDT)

Its a reference to the song Pootis man, which in turn is a reference to to Candyman. And its not very speculative, its pretty obvious valve intended the reference, especially since the song has almost 200,000 views.Spencer102 18:44, 30 March 2012 (PDT)

I hope that's a joke. All jokes aside, if Valve doesn't specifically say it's a reference, we can't label it as a reference. rZ 05:13, 2 April 2012 (PDT)

Jiggledboned?

Through modelviewer I saw no evidence the tag was jiggleboned, it was stiff the entire time. - Devozade 04:28, 29 March 2012 (PDT)

Is obtaining it limited to Secret Saxtons?

I know I wrote Secret Saxtons, but it occurred to me before nodding off into never never land that there are three ways one can give a gift:

1) Is of course Secret Saxtons: http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Secret_Saxton 2) Pile o' Gifts: http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Pile_o%27_Gifts 3) Gifting (as opposed to sending through trade) an item that's been gift wrapped: http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Gift_wrap

It's very probable that the hat will be distributed by the most Secret Saxtons given through single Secret Saxtons and Pile o' Gifts (which I'll add immediately after this post), but could this mean gifting gift wrapped items. If so, is there a way to test this hypothesis. If not, is there an indication of why gifting gift wrapped items are ineligible?

Thanks.

It very likely counts exactly as Spirit of Giving does. — C2Talon (c/t) 12:53, 29 March 2012 (PDT)

Limited to Secret Saxtons and Pile o' Gifts -- probably, but definitely? I guess time will tell. Reverend 13:47, 29 March 2012 (PDT)

Paint & Tags

When using this TF2 Items list it can be seen that the hat appears to keep the colour it has been painted with between owners. The Dueler hat was named by the second owner, but has not kept the name to the next, it could have been restored to remove the name though. - Devozade 03:25, 2 April 2012 (PDT)

Check whether or not the level stays the same between owners, paint, name, etc. It's possible two people painted the same hat the same color two days in a row. I'm still skeptical whether or not the paint, name and level stay the same between owners. rZ 05:10, 2 April 2012 (PDT)
