Welcome to this years 'What are you trying to win lately' thread! The rules are the same as previous years:

In a single post, state the name of the game(s) you've been entering the most giveaways for recently but have been unable to win.
Then, if someone with a spare key for it is feeling generous, you might just get a nice little Christmas present :)

Last years thread was the most successful yet, with hundreds of games being given away and almost 2000 posts in total by the time the thread closed! Lets make this yet another year to remember :)

NOTE; If you're using the tampermonkey or greasemonkey browser extension, check out this script to see what games you've entered giveaways for the most often.

EDIT: That's it folks! Thank you to everyone who chose to give this holiday season, and happy new year to all!

I'm not asking, I was just curious about my data.
I had to tweak the script a little because my last entry in a giveaway will be 4 years old in less than a week.
It turns out I bought most of what I ultimately didn't win πŸ˜…
I'll try to list only the bundled ones.

  1. Rise of Industry (61x) Bought
  2. Machinarium (49x)
  3. Darksburg (36x) Bought
  4. Vampyr (35x) Bought
  5. Whispers of a Machine (34x) Bought
  6. FRAMED Collection (32x) Bought
  7. The Suicide of Rachel Foster (32x) Won and 100%
  8. Blood Fresh Supply (21x)
  9. Darkest Hunters (18x)
  10. Canabalt (7x)

I think I messed up the script, though. I set it to search for any giveaway joined with a date >=2020 but some entry counts seem off for these old games.

I've also never seen any promotion for it on any platform =/
The developers could at least do some kind of promotion, it's a very interesting game, I was able to play a little bit of a relative's game (I remember he had built a circuit using logic gates to control a train, that was amazing). Now I just have to dream about a future promotion kkkk T.T

Hey canis39, sorry that my changing the list of my desirable games bothered you. It's Christmas, the time to be kind, so it would be nice to hear holiday wishes instead of the reprobative message of yours. I did wished you all the best in the chat and that's what I've got from you in return :((

I was traveling until a few hours ago so I did not see your message right away. I wish you nothing but the best and I hope you have a wonderful holiday!

My comment here was to let you know about the rules, because I thought you might not be aware of them.

There are rules for a reason -- to make it fair for everyone.

@LuckyLana

So let me get this straight: not only did you already get 3 games from your old post, one of which even by canis himself. But you still complain to him about a message containing important information that you apparently missed or probably rather deliberately ignored, since it is stated explicitly in the OP. You even have the audacity to state "that's what I've got from you in return", diverting from the fact, that you've got gifted a game from him in the first place.

You then proceed to delete your old post instead of editing it with your extended wishlist and deleting this new one. And in the new post, you don't even list the games you've already gotten from the old one, so gifters could at least get an idea of how lucky you've already been. Not even mentioning it being your second post. Nothing.

And last but not least you try to downplay your - at this point obviously intentional - behaviour and try to guilt-trip people, who call you out on it, with christmas spirit, something that you yourself clearly lack.

Sounds about right? Yeah, I'm sure no one would ever get angry at such an inconsiderate and selfish behaviour and put you on their personal naughty-list over such a trifle. πŸ™„

No, it doesn’t sound right at all. I had no idea what to do after the people telling me about the β€œone post only” rule and just deleted my first one thinking that it’s what they wanted me to do. I made an unintentional mistake and tried to correct it without knowing your way of doing it. You should have asked me about it first before telling me off and insulting!
I do appreciate a lot the kindness of the people who have given me the gifts and was happy about this holiday thanks to them until I received this full of anger message of yours. All you could have done is simply ignore my post at least for the Christmas sake but apparently to ruin other people’s holiday is your goal :( May kindness be with you!

Feel free to point out any substantial mistakes in my previous post. What of the things I listed did you actually not do?

I had no idea what to do after the people telling me about the β€œone post only” rule
tried to correct it without knowing your way of doing it

It's not about "my" way. It's about any way that is considerate, respectful and fair towards previous gifters, potential future gifters and everyone else who has a list in this thread. There would have been several ways to do that. Most people even do it intuitively. You could have looked at how others did it. Or maybe

You should have asked

πŸ™„

You also by now could have edited your new list to at least include the 3 games you were gifted before. Yet you still haven't.

I made an unintentional mistake

A mistake that only now you finally admit to. A mistake whose unintentionality is quite questionable when looking at the whole thing. A mistake that you still didn't actually apologize for. You just pulled one of those fake "Sorry if it bothered you" non-apologies to canis and then tried to christmas-guilt-trip him for pointing it out.

insulting

Feel free to point out any insults in my post.

this full of anger message of yours
All you could have done is simply ignore my post

While I understand, that you don't like being called out and pointed to your mistakes, don't take my lack of sugarcoating for actual anger.

at least for the Christmas sake but apparently to ruin other people’s holiday is your goal

You should really stop with the christmas-guilt-tripping attempts. This is not about the holidays. It's about your behaviour.

I am very late to this, whoops ^^"

I have no idea how to use the script, but the only one I've seen recently that I've been trying to win is Kingdom: Two Crowns so me and my friend can play it. We played it during the free weekend a while back and it was fun.

Most of my recent tries I ended up getting elsewhere, so I just browsed through my past entries and these ones seemed to pop up the most:

  • Kingdom: Two Crowns Thank you, DrTenma! :D
  • Cats In Time
  • Children Of Silentown Thanks, 1bit! ^^
  • Dreams In The Witch House
  • Eastward
  • Graveyard Keeper
  • Guidebook Of Babel
  • Hack 'N' Slash
  • Ikenfell
  • In Other Waters
  • Luna's Fishing Garden
  • Monster Crown
  • Smile For Me
