Oh man, finding the links is harder than I thought.
After clicking trough twenty pages of GA's with comments on I gave up.
Blue heart for the cool concept though!

I doubt it'll get this far, but on the odd chance that it does I'd like to join in too. Very neat idea btw!

Really a rather neat concept! I'd like to participate

Bump and meow. I may be too late, but just in case, I'd love to be in!

Interesting idea! I doubt I have anything on my wishlist that you haven't posted a key for yet. If I had more time I would go through the public giveaways of those who have posted, trying to find those Darkest Dungeon and Dark Souls III giveaways, but I have so little spare time right now that it's more important to focus on playing games whenever I can ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
somehow missed it, but a great idea ;) maybe you will find something on my wishlist? ;p
just one question - is it possible that someone got more than one Ga from you? aka if we already found GA in someone's GA can I give up checking this person and go to another one, or should I keep looking? ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
If there's more than one they are listed next to each other in the list at the OP. Don't know if I'm allowed to say more, but you'll see ;)

Feel free to join any of these that you find, even if you don't have them wishlisted. Happy hunting! It's not that hard (yet) :3
btw zelgh sensei help any tip ?
Comment has been collapsed.
I could have a tip, but I am not sure if cg wouldn't consider it as using a bot (even if it's just for data gathering, not for auto entering), and bots are kinda bannable on SG... ;p

i couldn't find any clue would it help if i re-read your magic guide and if it does which part actually?
Comment has been collapsed.
not really, my guide will only help you AFTER you find a comment ;)
but a little tip - always in such a big maze-like puzzles organize yourself a spreadsheet, nelly made it ultra easy this time, after you find 1,2,3 GAs you already see a pattern which makes navigating ones you really want super-easy ;) finding actual GAs is harder - it will require either manual work opr knowledge of basic scripting to at least extract data about all public GAs (you could use SGT as cross refference if you want), you could also for example filter out ones without comments etc, then you theorethically could make a script to enter each GA and check whether it cointains a comment from nelly, but this would basically make it a full bot so not sure how cg would react, so I do not reccomend, if anyone does it don't come crying if you get week suspension or sth ;p

thank you so much, i couldn't use script even if i wanted to.(0 programming skill)
Comment has been collapsed.
then just usual puzzle methods - make a spreadsheet, determine who probably got what game(s) linked, prioritize on games you want / don't own, or prioritize on users with little GAs first, as they are faster to check ;)

i'm sure first comment got something so i will check him first for starting to figure out pattern
edit:
i started to find sensei thx. found first three but onlyentered 1 so far the ones i want is too deep to calculate which person got it
Comment has been collapsed.
@edit so far as far as I am aware, nelly did a single mistake close start of page 2, but beside that all others fit the same pattern ;) won't say wht it is but it's really pretty obvious. keeping this in mind, when you find pattern and this single error navigating every single GA you're intrested in becomes very easy ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
yeah i miscalculated some games but since it's 1 or 2 game away from target so i navigated from there
at first i made a mistake trying to bruteforce search but it was not needed i figured out after ds3 and dd
Comment has been collapsed.
yeah - this is where error occurs more or less ;) I own DS3 and DD, so I didn't check them, but wanted Tumbleseed and couldn't find, so this way I navigated it ;) but for everything else the pattern works fine ;)

It takes some time but I love this idea. Never saw this type of puzzle here and I am glad that I managed to enter few giveaways for games I really want. Thank you for this nelly :-)

I see you have Stardew Valley in the list, it is on my wishlist. So maybe I could join that one. Thanks a lot anyway.

Guess this is me putting my name in the hat. This requires a lot of work from you so props for that.

Hi everyone! I haven't done a lot of giveaways lately, but I'm still getting the Humble Monthly and the occasional other bundle, so I have accumulated quite a few leftover keys. Since I can't think of a proper puzzle, I thought of this instead:
Reply in this thread if you wish to participate. I will then check your Steam wishlist. If I have a key for something from your wishlist, I will make a private giveaway for the game and post the link/code/an easy puzzle for it as a reply to one of your old public giveaways. You can join as soon as you see that reply from me. I may or may not reply in this thread too to let others know about it (not with the link, just with a note saying I made a GA). If you're new to puzzles, check out zelgh's guide.
Anyone else who finds the link can enter (everyone is encouraged to search the old public GAs of the people commenting here). The person I sent the link to is allowed to share it, but anyone else who finds it is not (i.e. if you want to lower you chances at a wishlist game, you're welcome to do so ;) )
I'll update this post with games and when I run out of keys. Giveaways will run for a few weeks since it might take while for all the games I have to appear on wishlists :) Please note that I didn't expect this many replies. I'm not sure I'll even make it to page 10, so please don't be diappointed if I don't get to you.
