I've been leeching too much =/

Last week I won a game here and noticed how lucky I was compared to my estimaded wins.
But then I realised I haven't given back as much...

So here I am to apologize and bring to the community 5 little gifts to make up for my absence.
But what kind of man would I be if I didn't make you suffer for them?

You can find all the codes for the giveaways on this image (go here for "what char is this?" questions). Each code is written either from top to bottom or from left to right.

All giveaways end sunday and the games are:

  • Fortix (you guys still love it, right?) - $0 CV
  • Trine 2: Complete Story - $0.01 CV
  • Natural Selection 2 - $0.01 CV
  • Krater - $0.01 CV
  • Counter-Strike Complete - $30.01 CV

Bonus: anything here could be a lie. Maybe there are codes hidden on a diagonal or backwards, or maybe all games have $666 CV and they are not the ones listed, or maybe there are no giveaways at all.

Good luck!

Your list of private giveaways on your profile says otherwise!

I actually thought about that and I might have created them as a decoy. Your move.

By the way, 640 possible tries... :-/
Good puzzle idea, but a little too big, no?

Yes, I calculated the possibilities. It goes from 640 if I told the truth to 2304 if you count diagonals and reversed possibilities.
My first idea was a 15x15 grid (330-1144 combinations), but when you divide this by the 5 games it started looking easier than I wanted.

Actually it's 2303 individual codes, because 1 code is listed twice, as you can see here ^^

Not as evil as I wanted. This grid makes it too easy to code something to check all the combinations. I wanted to make a complex shape of characters, but didn't have the skills for that =/

complex shape? Every shape can be checked with some code xD

Don't worry I don't have skills for coding so we are even :)( Bruteforce all the way )
I will learn in this half-year hopefully.

Interesting. I didn't test the combinations myself so I didn't know one of them was repeated.
My biggest fear was finding somebody else's private giveaway on the grid by accident xD

Well, next step would be to open every code to see what's behind and print out every code, that acctually refers to a legit giveaway. This might show some unexpected giveaways xD

But I skipped this part to spare SG the heavy load and because there are obviously no hidden giveaways in reverse/diagonal part created by you :P

Tut, tut, tut... you managed to include one that was not yours... but then again, it's been over for two years... ;-)

Thanks!

I didn't find any extras when I searched as directed (from top to bottom and from left to right). Maybe if you tried diagonal or backwards but there was no reason to do that since all 5 giveaways could be found as directed.

Bumping for less than a day left.
Also, I won 2 games after this thread was created. I'm trying to raise my games gifted/won ratio damnit, so I might think of another way to torture you guys next week.
