  • 1 puzzle for 1 game that apparently everybody already has.
  • 19 solvers (that I know of.)
  • 4 entries.
  • 1 winner.
  • Lots of pent-up aggression.

Solution

Each of the apparent typos in the original text actually contained extraneous characters (these are now highlighted in bold).
Putting them all together gave you this Youtube video ID: "r_Iszem_6TM" (the hints that this was for Youtube were hidden in the links behind the question marks.)

The video contained 7 flag semaphore symbols. I stretched the second symbol to indicate that it was an uppercase letter. My reference was the Wikipedia page below.

Flag semaphore

When decoded correctly, the 7 symbols produced the five-letter giveaway code:

Thank you all for participating in my first puzzle.


Original post

Well, apparently, I'm not winning anything here excr_ept from puzzles. I'm guessing nobody else is winning either. (one in thousands is negligible, so I'm negliging it.)

Also, I guess contributorIss don't like it when their giveaway goes to a random leecher who spent a grand total of two seconds to click their links (five if they typed "ty".)

When one solvzees a puzzle, one would feel they earned their winnings. And when a solver wins anotherm_'s giveaway, the giver would feel happy to know that their gift went to someone who gave a cr6ap.

So, don't you think it would be wonderful if STteamgifts only allowed puzzle giveaways to be made??

Yeah, Mme neither.

P.S. Poor Isaac.
