So, I know there's been a lot of similar things (the tube station giveaways were amazing), but figured it'd be fun to try and put together a steamgifts advent calendar, with giveaways for every day leading up to christmas. Could have a theme for each day, and give away games revolving around it (e.g. cats, or booze, or family). I think there should be a day devoted entirely to bad rats, and another devoted to barbie. >D and a skyrim day?

If there's interest, feel free to leave suggestions for themes, or let me know if you want to get involved. I'll try and get a google spreadsheet going or something and people can sign up for various days, and I'll make a sexy thread with lots of tables and links when it goes live.

Even if nobody else is interested, I'm planning on doing at least one giveaway every day. (:

Current theme ideas:

December 1st: For "research" purposes
December 4th: Bad Rats
December 6th: Kill the Bear
December 11th: Pretty pretty princesses
December 16th: thnx 4 skyrim
December 21st: CATS

Interesting idea. I'd supply a GA or two, but due to RL time constrains can't help with organizing a possible event.

ooh, that's nice! but not sure it has enough room on it, or how easy it is to share.

I was going to just throw up a boring googledocs with a tab for each page, a description of the day's theme, and a sign up for users to put their name down for each day.

don't use the gmail calendar. it's too public and shareable.
maybe there is another calendar thingy, that's not google that possible to use?

let me know if you find something that'd work. (:

Just worried with google docs that someone would just come along and delete everything, but I'm not sure what else lets people sign up + have it be visible to anyone viewing it.

You can change the settings of editing for users.I mean, only to add. Or only some people can edit but open for everyone to see?

Are those calendars ment for organising setting up the event or also for people to enter when it's running?

Because I was thinking about just making a chart with all the numbers mixed up in it and then adding the links (or maybe pictures that contain the GA-code one by one every day. Sounds easier than using external programs or websites but as it was ment for a one person event it might not work on a bigger scale.

I want somewhere for people to be able to see the themes, and sign up, so we can see which days have lots of people and which days have none. When it actually goes live, I'll have somewhere people can submit links to their giveaway for the day and I (or someone else) will add them up to the day's thread so people can find them.

Cool idea Larren, a "killing the bear" theme for one day would be cool :3
Sadly I already want to do some group GAs this christmas and I've planned something for my birthday in january too, so I can't help with your advent calendar ._.

But I still hope you find some people for your awesome event :3

Shhh woman! ;) I was planning to do pretty much exactly that with GAs every day running for 1 week and a special batch of presents to be opened on Christmas eve.
Only problem is since I went a little nuts with some recent sales I already got pretty much the whole December covered and am not totally sure right now what would be the best way to make a joint advent calender (like for example more than 1 window per day and stuff like that).

I would love to provide a giveaway, if I find a game that fits the theme of one of the days =)

ah, way more open. basically going to list each day and the theme, and let people 'sign up' to do a giveaway on that day.

then when the day arrives, I'll link to all the giveaways made. I'm hoping to get about 5-10 per day. (:

"For Research!" day. >.> <.<
Sakura Clicker, Nekopara, (Kindred Spirits on the Roof out yet?) etc. etc. :P

Lol... in all seriousness, if that wasn't already. Any giveaway with even a hint of nudity, gets a "For Research!" comment or six.

"Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow!"
Games featuring snow.
I can't really think of any off the top of my head other than Frozen Synapse Prime or Never Alone though.
I'm sure there's tons of "snowy" games out there.

One. More. Turn.: Theme focused on turn-based games.
Steamgifts: Theme focused on Steamgifts "memes" (Skyrim, Fortix, Bad Rats, potatoes, etc...)
Choose wisely: Theme focusing on story-ridden choice-based games.
