Gift activated - the code was XquNXvmvFSkHpATV.
I'm considering doing a bigger version of this since I have quite a few spare (thankfully non-expiring) Humble Bundle gifts lying around, but I'll probably make a site to handle the whole thing so that there can be more entries without too much hassle.

GAME OVER!
Congrats to dreamndust, who won with 2 correct characters. The code was XquNXvmvFSkHpATV.
Original message follows, but please don't post any more guesses. :)
What is this?:
I'm giving away my last Risk of Rain gift before it expires (also because it's an awesome game), usually I do some kind of puzzle, but giving you the gift code seems to make things too easy, so I thought I'd have you guess it instead. Don't worry, closest guess is good enough, and I'm limiting it to 100 entries. 1% chance is better than most giveaways. :)
A humble gift code (which goes after https://www.humblebundle.com/gift?key=) is 16 characters, alphanumeric and case sensitive. As an example, here's a spare Teleglitch: KeDhxHUa5we8t7BR
Rules:
1 guess per person.
Your guess must be unique. If for some reason two or more people post the same guess, the first, non-edited guess counts.
For this reason, don't edit your guess. If you make a mistake, delete and repost.
Your guess must be a 16 character code.
Your guess must be a direct reply to this topic (not a reply to another message)
Only the first 100 valid replies qualify, or if we don't reach that number, all entries made before 12 noon GMT today (24th).
Closest will be determined by the number of correct characters in the correct position. This is case sensitive, so you don't get a point for 'a' if the character is 'A'. There are no points for correct characters in the wrong position. If there's a tie, then whoever guessed the earliest correct character that the other tied players didn't wins (for example, using the Teleglitch code above, Kooooooooooooooo would beat ooDooooooooooooo, or KoDooooooooooooo would beat KooooHoooooooooo). If nobody manages to guess a single character right, then whoever guessed first wins, but don't count on it. :)
Edit: Realised this didn't cover everything, so an addendum: If there's still a tie with the same correct characters, then the earlier guess wins.
Suggested strategy:
Tap the shift key on and off while hitting your keyboard with your head. Replace any invalid characters with the nearest valid one.
Good luck!
