Under capitalism, man exploits man. Under communism, it's just the opposite. - John Kenneth Galbraith
Setup:
1) Everyone brings a gift.
2) Everyone takes a number.
3) Everybody goes in order (1 goes first, 2 goes second, 3 goes third)
Rounds:
1) Pick an unopened gift. Open that gift.
2) Choose whether you want to keep the gift or swap it with someone else's opened gift.
If you chose to swap with someone else...
3) The victim of the swap may then chose to keep his gift or swap with someone else who hasn't already swapped this round.
The round ends when either
a) Everyone left already swapped
or
b) Someone choses to keep the gift they have and not swap

1) After everything is said and done, the person who had the number 1 gets to chose to keep his gift or swap with anyone. This means that number one is the most desirable number and number 2 is the least.

Nah, there's plenty of ways to do it. The worst that would happen is that we'd have a very long thread. If someone takes too long (maybe 1 day or x hours/minutes) we can say they just "keep their gift."
Example:
quote:
Diadem:
Action - Swap with Kloie. Trade Plush Cthulu doll for Red Ryder BB GunResults
State of Gifts:
1 Kloie's Gift: UNOPENED
2 Innoruk Gift: UNOPENED
3 Diadem's Gift: $20 Amazon.com Gift Certificate [Has not been swapped this round]
4 Mort's Gift: Red Ryder BB Gun [Has been swapped this round]
5 Deligamond's Gift: UNOPENED
6 Ozzymander's Gift: Plush Chtulu Doll [Has been swapped this round]
7 Cadga's Gift: UNOPENED
State of People:
1 Kloie: Plush Chtulu Doll [Has been swapped this round]
2 Innoruk: $20 Amazon.com Gift Certificate [Has been not swapped this round]
3 Diadem: Red Ryder BB Gun [Has been swapped this round]
4 Mort: N/A
5 Deligamond: N/A
6 Ozzymander: N/A
7 Cadga: N/A
Kloie would then have the option to swap out the doll for the certificate or keep it.
quote:
Kloie:
Action - Keeping the doll
Then it would be Mort's turn to open a gift....
quote:
Mort:
Round 4 - start.Action - Open Innoruk's gift.

Innoruk:

Or I could spend two hours and make a program to keep track of rounds/items/etc.
