Hello everyone, just got home so I'll be handing out the prizes soon... :) A big thank you to everyone who played, hope you had fun! :) I know I had fun... :)

To anyone who didn't win a prize, I'll find something for you, don't worry! :)

If anyone's curious to know what they missed:

JERKFEST:

CONSOLATION PRIZE:

To anyone who played and felt disappointed... I said this was just bundle leftovers, but: I always say that, and it's always a lie. :)

Any Jerkfest people who reached the "final" giveaway, and saw:

Well, that was fun! Hope you enjoyed the chance to win some bundle leftovers, fellow jerks! :) And never forget:

He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. :)

Next time, look at the URL on that rickroll smiley, ok? :) This isn't a puzzle, this is easy mode. Free stuff! :)

Umm, this is easy guys. :)

Extra Special non-jerky thanks to bananarepublic and xKomachi who found the Shadow of Mordor giveaway but refused to enter since it was on my wishlist. Jerks! :) I'll find some way to repay you! :)


Original stuff below:

Note: Be sure to read the whole thing, because if you're not a jerk you qualify for the Consolation Prize giveaway chain! :)


There are so many generous people here in the Steamgifts forum. To mention only a few recent examples:

DeltaBladeX created a Halloween giveaway event (plus countless others!)

Grauntgar made a Thanksgiving giveaway event.

IndaHoodz started an Insurgency Key Drop which unexpectedly became a Beggarfest/Blacklistfest :)

Khalaq made a Thankfest.

And currently, I see Tragikos is inviting people to another Simultaneous Giveaways group.

Sadly, I'm not one of those. I used to make puzzles, but haven't done any in ages. And if you ever looked at those puzzles, you know I'm a complete jerk. So I thought, hmm... :)

How about some giveaways for my fellow jerks? Any current or former jerks may apply. Here are some examples of how you might qualify... :)

  • Still haven't read the Steamgifts FAQ after two years?

  • Won a mountain of games, and given away zero?

  • On dozens of blacklists but can't figure out why?

  • Suspended for begging?

  • Spammed the forum with your referral links?

  • Tried to give away a region-restricted price glitch game?

  • Never thanked someone for buying a game, even after you won their giveaway?

  • Thought Steamgifts was the proper place to make your trade offers?

  • Cheated on/spoiled someone's forum puzzle?

  • Won something you didn't actually want, so you tried to regift it?

  • Scammed multiple copies of games from IGN Prime?

  • Complained about your $1 bundle junk not giving you $100 CV?

  • Asked why you haven't received that game you won 15 minutes ago?

  • Created giveaways but never sent the gifts to the winners?

  • Kicked from a giveaway group because you leeched a bunch of games and never gave anything back?

  • Tried to give away free stuff by calling it something else?

  • Won a bunch of great games but never played them?

  • Asked people to send you paypal/keys/games/metal/whatever for a chance to win something?

  • Idle Mastered your wins for the trading cards, and never played the games?

  • Entered all the expensive "Complete Pack/GOTY" giveaways because you were missing some cheap DLC?

  • Robo-commented something like Thank you very much for the chance to win this great game :D in every giveaway you entered? :)

  • (suggested by limathompson) Used Easy Steamgifts to auto join and auto comment every giveaway?

  • Or did you do something so jerky it didn't even occur to me to list it? :)

If any of these sound familiar, simply write I would like to enter the Jerkfest. And state the reason(s) you qualify. :) I will add you on Steam to give the URL for the start of the Jerkfest giveaway chain.

Note: Since this is a Jerkfest, the games are all bundle leftovers, and none of them have trading cards. :) Sorry! :)


Sadly, not everyone here on Steamgifts is a jerk. If you don't qualify for the Jerkfest, you qualify for the Consolation Prize giveaway chain! :) If you're not sure, here are some examples of non-jerk behaviour:

  • Did you carefully check the examples of qualifying Jerkfest behaviour, and fail to meet any of them? :)

  • Are you/were you a Steamgifts Admin/Moderator/Support/whatever person?

  • Thanked someone who gave away a game, even when you didn't win?

  • Gave away some games, before you even won any yourself?

  • Drove us insane with your puzzles?

  • Won some great games, and actually played them?

  • Made one of those helpful forum topics that saved us all hours of searching?

  • Created a fun event?

  • Got some achievements playing those trading card games you won, instead of using Idle Master for the free cards?

  • Or did you do something so non-jerky I couldn't even imagine it? :)

If you want to join the Jerkfest Consolation Prize giveaway chain, simply write "I would like to try for the Jerkfest Consolation Prizes." and state the reason(s) you qualify. :) I will add you on Steam to give the URL for the start of the Consolation Prize giveaway chain.

Note 1: Since I am a cheapskate, these are all bundle leftovers too. :) But they all have trading cards! :)

Note 2: In the true spirit of this Jerkfest I will also give you the URL for the start of the Jerkfest giveaway chain, so try for those too! :) Make sure no undeserving jerk wins them! :)

Hmm, guess it's impossible for people with that many wins to avoid "Won a bunch of great games but never played them?" :) But... search search... :)

The Witcher and Dark Souls? Wonder if there's a Mass Effect in there somewhere too... :) Oh, nope! But there's an unplayed Skyrim! Think that's the trifecta, good luck! :)

A Verse in Honour of Steamgifts and All Who Gift Here

Fiftykyu gives away games irrespective of the status of I or you,
don't let their generosity blind you, kindness comes with conditions,
you go first, I'm always in the queue behind you.
I need it less, I must be blessed to not feel the desperate sting of possession,
The world trapped in recession, selfish greed and regression the measures of progression,
I guess my lesson is that smiling in your face is something more pressing,
a generosity unforgiving that comes as a blessing,
there's no use in stressing, life's only a game, you can win it here at Steamgifts,
At least that's what I'm guessing.

Certainly seems like some of us find it here, on these shores,
amongst a rabble of the grateful, the accepting and the greed whores.
We give, but it's no sacrifice, we don't bleed more, don't beg for or need more,
we're just here to spread a little happiness to others,
Probably values instilled in us by mothers, or fathers, intent on making lovers,
not haters, say what you like but don't slate us,
we're here for the sooners and not for the laters,
we're here to create immediate gratification through sating the needs of all nations
for free games, from all genres, price-brackets and from PCs to Playstations.
But most of us dream of a Elysium that exists among the bad tags and recommendations of Steam.
It is there that we give most of our gifts, an experience that enriches and uplifts,
a feeling of elation, sure take the piss, but giving others something they may otherwise miss.
It is this, pure and with nothing amiss, that makes us give gifts to give you and ourselves bliss.

Peace, love and Steamgifts.

Oh god, this post is gonna get long..

I'm a jerk because:

  • I haven't played one of the games I've won (Two if you count the game I just won 2 days ago xD), though I'm going to remedy that tonight >.>
  • I won CS:GO and Rust, and haven't played them as much as I feel like I should have. I had fun with them, but I haven't played them a hundred (or hundreds of) hours like others have.

On the other hand, I'm a Not-Jerk because:

  • I've played all my other wins (of varying time, though.)
  • I've done puzzles! :D (I need to do another one soon, no inspiration in a while D:)
  • I hope I've done helpful threads...given the kinds I make though, they may not be :P
  • I dunno if you'd consider This an event or not o.o
  • I gave away all kindsa stuff before my first win!

So I guess I'm not so jerky after all ;o
Heh, that's a lot better than I thought it would be :P

Idk which category I belong in. I've won a few games but never played them (yet) and used Idle Master to get the trading cards. (In my defense, Im busy with school and have a big backlog to clean out.) However, I always thank people that make good giveaways, especially nonbundled games. cough cough

I would like to try for the Jerkfest Consolation Prizes:

Gave away Gun Monkeys,Planets Under Attack,X-Blades before I even won any myself.
Won some great games like Arkham Origins DLC's and actually played them too.I played some other games I won too but these are the ones I consider great.
Got some achievements playing those trading card games I won, instead of using Idle Master for the free cards. I never idle away anyways cause my PC needs to be touched every 5 minutes or it will go into stand by...:P I like to keep it that way..!!!

Hope I qualify and thank you for the giveaways :)

I can probably qualify for both jerk and non-jerk...


Jerk:

  1. Haven't played the wins from steamgifts yet. (Have a full time job and also taking full school credits with it and that too masters level. Play Cricket for my university and have gf that takes whatever time I have left. I only get to play games these days if my gf has a weekend shift and I don't have much work left.
  2. Idled a few games to get the cards (actually idled the games when I was sleeping and not using some script or software)
  3. Did the robo-commenting thing in the beginning when I was new to the site. Would just copy paste thanks from other people and not even type it myself.

Non-Jerk:

  1. As you said, made the fun Thanksgiving giveaway event
  2. Gave away more games than I've won.
  3. Actually have played some of the games that I won here.
  4. and a few more I guess..

You can decide where I fit though.
and here is a Jerkstone for all the jerkers out there...

Thanksgiving giveaway event is non-jerky enough for me! :) Unless you won one of my favourite games and never played it, guess I'll have to check... :)

Ouch, Gone Home, Bloodlines, The Witcher, and Dark Souls! Suppose I have to be fair and invite you to the Jerkfest for now, but if you get any spare time before the giveaways expire try Gone Home, you could finish it in a few hours... :)

I'd like to try for Jerkfest! Wooh! I'm a jerk at heart and always will be ;)

(Un)fortunately I've:
-Lied about what game I'm giving away to get more CV (did not work, bitched about it)
-Have not read FAQ, no intention of ever reading said FAQ
-Only game I've ever sent was a leftover copy of Insurgency that I sent a week late
-Thought to myself "What assholes" for everyone whose ever said thank you on this site

I would consider myself as a jerk but... I also do some good things! :P
I'm a jerk because:

  • I still haven't played many great games I won here, eventhough I'd love to ASAP
  • I want more and more games every each day, I'm such a greedy man... Eventhough I know I won't have that much time to play all the games.

For the other side, I'm also a good person sometimes...

  • I always read all the rules, instructions etc.
  • I visit, read and participate in forum discussions.
  • I played a lot of games I won here and most of them were great.
  • I love helping other people and do a good stuff.
  • I never intentionally break any rules

So, You decide who I am more :P I really couldn't stick to one, sometimes You have to be a good guy and sometimes You should think about yourself only, shouldn't You?:P

Thanks for the event! (Sorry but not thanking someone for such a good thing is a big NO for me) :P

I'd like to be in the Jerkfest Consolation Giveaway.

I've thanked people who have done giveaways even though I never win them (well, I won once but you get the idea.)

I've played the one game I won.

I checked the rules for the Jerk thing and I couldn't find one that applied to me or even think about a new one that did.

I've read the FAQ for the site just to make sure I didn't do anything that would ban me (calling out stood out.)

I've given away games and a little bonus when I've had them (DIE if they or a friend didn't own it or a coupon if they did.)

I would like to try for the Jerkfest Consolation Prizes.

  • I created 8 giveaways before I won a single game (all sent and received).
  • I usually thank people just after I join a giveaway, with a different comment each time. If the description says to say something different instead of "thanks" I do so. I read the description of the giveaway and follow the instructions (like checking Greenlight for a game, etc).
  • When a site gives free keys for any game, I get only one and activate in my own account. I don't farm keys for increasing my CV.
  • I format my posts nicely. ;-)
