Hmm, not sure which title I fit:Jerk or Not-a-Jerk. I'd like to think it's the latter, but don't we all? Thanks for this unique spin on giveaways...
I would like to try for the Jerkfest Consolation Prizes:
-I leave a thank you or if the GA host asks for something specific, a reply in every GA I enter, and post in the forum threads for private giveaways.
"Gave away some games, before you even won any yourself?" As a matter of fact yes, about several weeks before I won anything I gave a few games away.
"Got some achievements playing those trading card games you won, instead of using Idle Master for the free cards?" Yep,before SG I never even knew about idling software and haven't dled it frankly because I only enter for games I actually think I want to play.
-I have contributed to some GA chains.
I made private giveaways for my birthday: http://www.steamgifts.com/forum/GkttZ/tis-better-to-give-than-receive-birthday-giveaways-here
"Thanked someone who gave away a game, even when you didn't win?" That's just common courtesy, especially when those huge GA threads are made, like the ones above. No one has to give away anything, hence the site's name. We're all gifting games, even if we all benefit by said gifting ourselves.
"Entered all the expensive "Complete Pack/GOTY" giveaways because you were missing some cheap DLC?" Actually I've done the opposite: I tend to enter GAs more often for DLC to games I already own.
This may seem like bragging but...I'm in a GA group that only requires a 70% ratio of given-to-received and mine has never dipped below 90% in over 2 months of membership and is often above 100%.
Now for my jerk-like behavior...
"Won a bunch of great games but never played them?" I've entered some GAs in said group that had very few (less than 3) or even no entries and won a game by default. In such instances I haven't felt as compelled to play the game because I reckon there was no great interest in the first place and hey,everyone needs a backlog! I know, flimsy excuse.
I also note that you're keeping track of The Witcher, great game and better books, I highly recommend reading the novels if you haven't. I'm not sure how long it shows my playtime on Steam but it took me a bit to realize I could redeem my Steam copy and get all the CD Projekt goodies and extras, not to mention playing the game DMR-Free. I've got the sequel there as well, long before it was just recently given away for free during their massive fall sale.
Sorry for wall of text!

Hey, don't try so hard! :) This is just bundle leftovers, and if you only enter giveaways for games you think you want to play, you might not find a single thing worth entering... :) And yes, the books are great too! :) So, snoop snoop... :)
I see what you mean, lot of wins for cheap bundle things that nobody wanted. :) After reading a bit, it sounds like one of the fancy giveaway groups with required giveaways, only for bundle leftovers? Hmm...
Bastion is great, and you played that! :) Oh, a fake Anachronox, sorry I don't have an extra. :( CK2 and EU4 DLCs, those are great games! Hmm...
Looks like you "Won a bunch of mediocre games but never played them?" :) Ok, you don't sound like a jerk, so I'll let you decide. If you actually wanted to play all those random bundle games, and they're simply in your backlog for now you can try for the Consolation Prizes. :) But if it was just blind greed to win something, and you're dreading installing them all some day, it's the Jerkfest for you! :)

I've actually played 4 of my 5 wins. I've idled my own games, but not my wins. I robo-comment 80% of the time. I don't think I've done anything special to earn a spot in the cosolation prize so I guess I default to the jerkfest?

Jerk fest: I started a Dark Souls 2 topic that was pretty awesome and included a nice hard puzzle for fans of the series.... Which didn't have any reward after beating it. It was on my birthday too, so I took great pleasure in seeing everyone's pains. ^^ (let's see if I remember how to do a clicks...) Here's the evidence
Consolation: some people really seemed to enjoy the event for what it was!
And I've given away almost twice as many gifts as I've received! Not all bundled! :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmmm, I remember that topic, only understood the first question. :) My Dark Souls Puzzle wasn't quite that confusing, I think. :)
And I didn't say anything about non-steam giveaways, and it looks like you deleted it yourself, so... :) Good luck! :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, given that I Idle Master everything in order to get cards as quickly as possible, and have quite a backlog, I guess I qualify for the Jerkfest.
If not, I qualify for the Consolation Prize as I actually do play stuff I win when I have the time (though I still have a backlog) and I thank people from time to time without using a bot. (I also comment on giveaways when a proper question is asked or a discussion is started; I prefer it to mindless robotic thanks-posting.)

Well, since I'm a greedy jerk I'll try to qualify for both.

Like the moon and the stars and the sun... :)
That's the danger of making a giveaway for a game you love, when the winner says free gaem!! gibe!! and never even installs it... :( Safer to give away stuff you don't like, then you won't feel bad if it's ignored forever... :)

Sorry! Maybe you're only an imitation jerk! :) There's always room on the Consolation Prize side for them! :)
Don't know if Van Helsing is great, haven't played it yet... :( Hmm, that's odd, only four wins?! You might want to take a chance, think of the bundle leftovers! :)

Ouch, there's no time like the present! :) I should be a jerk and see if you qualify for some other reasons but I'm falling asleep so let's just take you at your word! :)
Ok, I decided to peek! :) Play some of that stuff you won! :) So you're invited, good luck! :)

I would like to try for the Jerkfest Consolation Prizes.
I guess I'll try for the consolation list
A) Gave stuff before I won anything
B) I try to play the stuff I won (even made a classification for things to play later), though life's so busy I can't exactly sit down and play one as well as I'd like.
C) Get cards/achievements the old fashioned way (need to check on that one BL1 topic and see if someone is willing to play with me for it)
D) Said thanks in GAs I'm particularly grateful for.
E) Said thanks/sent thank you e-mails I've won
F) Thanked people for linking me to private GAs I wasn't interested in.
G) Dropped some keys in some topics
H) Gave some newcomers some bundle spares so they can get some CV.
Possible neutral or jerky stuff here
A) Have a backlog (mainly due to sales)
B) Don't always thank in general GA comments
C) Attempted to make a reasonable discussion topic that failed and got on some peoples' bad side, likely on some blacklists.
D) Insulted some suckers in said topic, which got turned around to insulting all beginning traders

Aha, I was going to ding you for "Won a bunch of great games but never played them?" After all, look at the games you won! :) Bioshock Infinite and the Far Cry Franchise Pack! But you only tried the cheap bundle leftovers! Insane! :)
Then I took a closer look, and you only just won the Far Cry Franchise pack 7 hours ago. :) So I'll ignore that one. :)
As you probably noticed, not playing wins is a pet peeve of mine - otherwise what's the point? :) Never playing games you bought, no problem! It's your money, after all... :) We all have a mountain of those... :)
But games you won are someone else's money... :) You could think of those as an unexpected present you received as a child. Woohoo, free stuff! And it's not even my birthday! :) And you know the rules... If it's clothing, you have to wear it. :) If it's a book, you have to read it. :) And if it's a game, you have to play it. :)
Aaaaanyway, I never noticed whatever discussion topic you started, let's try site:www.steamgifts.com/forum "created by Fishman465" and see what we get! :)
Oh, this one, I remember reading that. Sounded generous but a bit, well, optimistic... :) Did any of those people ever make a giveaway with your key, or did they all say "thanks for the free game, sucker!" :)
Saw another topic and won't link to it because it contained a known beggar begging for a key out of the blue, and receiving it... :( You didn't even say you wanted to give away a key, he just popped up from nowhere and said gibe gaem pls!! :(
"Begging in the community will not be tolerated." is in the Steamgifts FAQ for a reason, you know! :) If you encourage those clowns they will just keep doing it...
So hmm, this is getting a bit longer than I'd planned, you don't sound like a big jerk, looks like you at least tried the other stuff you won, so you can try your luck in the Consolation Prize... :)
But try that Bioshock Infinite some time, ok? :) It's a shooter. You shoot people. Haven't finished yet, but so far that's all you do. Shoot people. This game, so many positive reviews, and I'm still just running around shooting everyone. Why? What's the point again? Is this all video games are? Maybe it gets less shooty later? Maybe they wanted to make a shooter, so they did? No idea... :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I'll try to put those on top of my queue, same with anything I win in this. Thanks.
Sorry if I proved troublesome but I figured I'd list the other stuff as an extra.

Aha, this is where I prove I'm the only real jerk around here... :( I should probably pretend I didn't notice this and just hide for a few days, but that's no fun! :) Best to jump right in! :)
I hope this "Jerkfest" idea doesn't sound like I'm calling everyone around here a jerk. :) Although it's just possible one or two actual jerks may have joined up, really it's meant in fun. Look at all the great games we won! Hooray, I always wanted that one! :) And look at how few we actually found the time to play. :) Yeah, it's in the backlog, I'll get to it soon. :) That sort of thing. :)
If I were somehow trying to calculate people's real-life jerkiness, this thing would look very different. :) But I'm not trying to do that, and I wouldn't know how anyway. :) So, everyone should know, you're one of the most generous people around here, and the simultaneous giveaways idea is just great. :) Someone suggested I apply, but I didn't think I would be worthy... :) Anyway, a lot of people enjoy it every time, and what can be better than making other people happy?
So, anyway... :) Since there's no way I could check all 405 (wow!) wins, I just arbitrarily looked for cool/fun/expensive/popular/etc. stuff. Apologies if I accidentally chose the wrong games to look at. :(
Wow, you won a lot of great stuff! And it looks like you played a lot of them, such as:
Alien: Isolation Digital Deluxe Edition, Dishonored, Don't Starve, Just Cause 2, Kerbal Space Program, Saints Row: The Third, System Shock 2, Titan Quest Gold, Unreal Deal Pack. :) Notice it's completely arbitrary, just some that I know are good from personal experience. :)
Oh, you won The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt! Congratulations! I can't wait, only hope I've upgraded my video card in time to play it... :)
And bummer, you won a fake Mass Effect 2 giveaway, that stinks. :( That's a great game, if I had an extra I'd happily send one your way. Alas, there's not been any Mass Effect bundle... :)
On the other hand... :) The "great games still waiting to be played" pile is... well... :) Let's just say it's colossal! :)
Assassin's Creed 2 Deluxe Edition, Assassin's Creed Revelations - Gold Edition, Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, BioShock 2, Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Crusader Kings II, Dark Souls: Prepare To Die Edition :(, Dead Space, Dead Space 2, Deus Ex: Game of the Year Edition, Dungeon Siege Complete, Fallout Collection, F.E.A.R., F.E.A.R. 3, Fortix :(, Hitman: Absolution, Left 4 Dead Bundle, LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4, LEGO The Lord of the Rings, LOST PLANET 3, Metro 2033, Metro: Last Light + Season Pass, Painkiller Complete Pack, PROTOTYPE 2, Resident Evil Revelations, Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil 5, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, Sid Meier's Civilization V, Spec Ops: The Line, STAR WARS: Knights of the Old Republic II, The Stronghold Collection, Tomb Raider Collection, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, The Walking Dead, The Witcher: Enhanced Edition Director's Cut. :(
Ok, some of these are merely expensive rather than good, but as for the rest - sounds like a good start on a "best PC games of all time" list, doesn't it? :) Y u no play? :) ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)
Now, many of these have playtime, but from here it looks more like Idle Master playtime, or "let it run overnight" playtime. :) Take for example Hitman: Absolution - 10.2 hrs on record, and 1 achievement for starting the benchmark? :) Or Sid Meier's Civilization V, 20 hrs on record and no achievements at all?! Is that even possible? :)
So, anyway, let me know if there was some sort of steam glitch that ate your achievements in those games, since otherwise it looks like they all got idled. :( And if I would dare to put another awesome person like dys (just to mention one) in the "Jerk" side, there's only one thing to do... :( Sorry! :(
So please have fun in the Jerkfest, and it's all bundle stuff either way so you're not missing much. :) You may even own all of them already! :) Good luck! :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Wow that's a long wall of text there, but I read all of it.
Now I feel the need to justify why some games I won I haven't played, or it seems like I haven't played them or idled.
First of all I won't deny that I've idled many of my games for the card drops. I've lost track though, for which games of those I won on SG or I bought myself, or got them free elsewhere. Thus, I don't intentionally win any game, just to farm the cards of it and not play it. After all many games got cards after I won them.
Then there are those games I played before me getting them on Steam like for example F.E.A.R, Dead Space, Fallout, Deus Ex, first Tomb Raider games, thus I didn't play them again later. This of course means that yes, I do get or win games just to add them in my collection. If that makes me a "jerk" in the jerkfest I have no problem to be added in that category as well :P
Another case is those games I'm pretty sure I've played some time on them and they don't show up on my play time. Such examples are Bioshock 2, PROTOTYPE 2.
About those games that I seem to have idled... a lot, I probably didn't. Can't be certain but Civ V did not have achievements from start or not all of them. Can't remember when I played that game, but I see no reason why I would idle for 20 hours on that game :P I can't remember idling on Absolution, but I'm certain not having played it for 10 hours. Don't know what is the case there.
There are those games that I indeed plan to play and are in my backlog like the AC series, Spec-Ops, Walking Dead, Witcher, Transformers and others, but (luckily) I have a full time job and a life that keeps me from emptying that backlog. I do plan to play them some time though. I've already stopped buying games unless I plan to play them soon. I've even stopped entering high-winning-chance giveaways of great games, just because I wouldn't play the game soon. On the other hand Simultaneous Giveaways events always get me entry frenzy...
Lastly there are those games you enumerated that I don't share the same feelings with you, such as LEGO games, LOST PLANET 3 (which I played and didn't like). Those LEGO games I do plan to play but are not high in my backlog.
Anyway, I believe you got my point and I got yours. So yeah I could be categorized to your "jerk" category as well by your standards, but I'm ok with that. Doesn't everyone have a bit of both sides? ;)
Like you said I'll probably won't have many giveaways that I'll be able enter from your fest and probably not any that I would actually want, but I posted just coz I liked your idea.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, maybe I should have called it "Greedfest" instead! :) It wouldn't be easy to find any genuine jerks, but most of us know the feeling of greed for free stuff, good, bad, play tomorrow, play never, etc. :) There's no saints here, we're all human beings after all. :)
When I first joined Steamgifts, I didn't know if it was real or a scam, so I'd just enter every giveaway and see what happens. :) If they tell me I won a new expensive game, then I'll know it's a lie and move on. :)
So finally I won something, a DLC from the ubisoft store promotion/mistake/whatever. I would have grabbed it for myself but I was too slow. :) Aha, if people are giving away free stuff like this, it's got to be real. :) So I figured it was safe to give away stuff myself, and dumped whatever random leftover games I had, yay, I got CV, now I can win even more stuff I'll never play! :)
It took a bit longer than it should, but eventually I noticed the nice people behind the giveaways. It wasn't just robot game dispensers, but someone who loved a game and wanted to share it. Or some greedy person like me chasing more CV with his 95% discount stuff. :)
Eventually I started thinking about the other people trying to win the giveaways I'd won - what if that other person wasn't just greedily accumulating games, but had that game on his wishlist, and was going to play? I got the game, but no desire/time to play it. Yay me. And he has the desire, the time, but no game. :( So I thought hmm, let's only try to win games I want, to play, right now. :)
Finally I thought some more - if I had really wanted that game, I would have bought it. Like you said, with a full time job we may not have the time to play, but we can afford to buy it ourselves. :) So by definition the only games I can try to win are the games I don't really want. :) Maybe I'll think about playing it some day, when I have some free time, or maybe the reviews weren't so good and I'm waiting for a sale, etc. :) So unless things change I'm in a bit of a fix - it's a lot of fun being around here at Steamgifts, but it feels a bit silly since I'm not entering any giveaways. :)
So anyway, if you're still interested, you're certainly welcome to join in! And I didn't check your entire library but somehow I doubt you're missing many of these bundle leftovers! :) But you never know... :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Oho, that is quite jerky! :) So is not playing Borderlands: Game of the Year, Deus Ex: Human Revolution or System Shock 2! :) Gave Saints Row IV and Skyrim a fair try though. :)
Yeah, I don't know, I guess since you never talked to those people again I'll have to let you in the jerk side. :) So good luck! :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmm how to do this, You decide if I am a jerk
I won a bunch of games but did not play most of them, backlog to big :(
I always thank for the chance if I enter a GA
Never gave a bundle game away (some games were bundled long after the GA)
Even gave away games I did not have myself
Made some Bad Rats GA's just to troll
Gave away complete bundles before CV was invented
Gave games away before I won one myself
Comment has been collapsed.
Oho, you sure did win a lot of games, there's some really good stuff in there... :) I'm too lazy to mention them all, and besides you probably know which ones I'm thinking about already. :)
So this looks like another one of those situations where I have to invite someone to the jerk side, and feel like a big jerk myself... :(
On the other hand, maybe you'll find something good in there anyway? :) Oh, probably not. I already forgot what the games are, just bundle leftovers with no cards. :) So good luck! :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Jerkfest because:
I don't always thank giveaways I enter, I do thank the individual that gives me the game via email/steam but can't prove that.
Mainly because my backlog of won games is insane. I have again played some of the giveaways on other formats such as Portal I've played on the xbox before, however I should have played it by now! God I suck.
I have entered giveaway packs to get one game I'm missing or just the DLC.
Consolation because:
I've given away more than I've won.
I won the same game twice within a short period of time so I contacted the give awayer(giveawayer? Is that a word? I'm an English teacher as well...) to say that I would be winning the same game twice violating the Steamgifts rules.
I have given away hidden games in previous posts, not so much puzzles as obvious hidden GA's such as Shaddowrun Returns.
I gave away games before I won any.
I've dropped keys I didn't want in the forums before.
Things I should do more that are neutral:
I should get more involved in the community, I'm a massive forum lurker, I know a lot of peoples names, I get involved now and again but I haven't really got involved as much as I perhaps should. I am very shy! I've been around for around 2 years and I'm guessing 99% of people won't have a clue who I am.
EDIT: Add this to the neutral "I suck" column, I still can't format these forum posts well.
Comment has been collapsed.
This is embarassing, even after my time here, I STILL haven't read the FAQs (I've only used common sense up till now), was one of the The Ship giveawayers and I believe have only given one game away (excluding the ship). Don't know what I can put for non-jerkiness though :/
Comment has been collapsed.
Don't feel bad, most people only read it once they're suspended... :) Or if someone says there's a giveaway inside the Steamgifts FAQ, so check carefully! :)
Ok, nobody ever says that, never mind! :)
Hmm, looks like you tried about half of your wins, and I wouldn't call any of them great. :) Played gmod to death, too! :) So I don't think you're quite jerky enough for the jerk side, so good luck with the Consolation Prizes! :)
Comment has been collapsed.
"I would like to try for the Jerkfest Consolation Prizes", my qualifications are: "Thanked someone who gave away a game, even when you didn't win?" and "Won some great games, and actually played them?" (Borderlands GOTY, Super Hexagon, CK2, FEZ, Warlock, etc). Also I don't think I meet any of the requirements to enter the proper Jerkfest compo, although I've got games from here that I still haven't gotten round to play. Thanks for the chance.
Comment has been collapsed.
Did you happen to notice winning a BioShock, and then later winning a Bioshock + Bioshock 2 Pack? That's pretty jerky... :)
Guess I'll have to sleep on it, wouldn't want to make a hasty decision and then feel bad about it tomorrow... :) Good luck in the something, just haven't decided what yet, sorry! :)
Comment has been collapsed.
A lot of people are OK with the winner owning a part of a package already, I've seen countless Bioshock Triple Pack given away where the creator was OK with people entering only for Binfinite.
It would have been jerky to enter AGAINST a specific request from the GA creator. I used to leave a comment asking for directions when none is given, but I gave up when I realized it's a total waste of time - if they're OK most of the time they won't bother replying - and if they're not, they'll either point it out in the first place or ask for a reroll.
With that out of the way, it's your gifts and your call. A chance for the jerk chain alone would be great - I hate idling for cards anyway :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Aha, hello again, do not love snow... :)
Afraid it's difficult to choose in these situations... :) Either way I'll be wrong... :)
Looks like you played some of your wins to death, which is what everyone hopes will happen when we give away stuff. :) So yay! :)
I think it's always a good idea to ask the giveaway creator when you already own some of a pack, since some of their money is wasted in that case. :) And if you happen to win a Bioshock + Bioshock 2 giveaway, just to give an example, and a year later still haven't had the time to play, all of their money is wasted... :)
But please don't think I'm calling you a jerk! :) These are all probably mediocre/junk bundle leftovers, so I don't expect all the winners to play them. :) Now, if I've inadvertently given some good ones too, let's hope those winners play! :) Good luck! :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Admittedly I am not a huge FPS player, but can't help feel a strong attraction towards some of them; the Bioshocks are such games: they look so good and different, original? I only played Bioshock for awhile then my attention was yanked away by some other game, that happens with games I bought myself too, sometimes I lay my eyes on something and it just clicks with me. Other times I need to put some effort in, give games a chance, that was my experience with DX:HR - bought it, collected dust for almost 2 years, then I finally force myself to play it, struggle for the first few hours, and eventually fall in love with it. Ended up playing it twice in a row. Long story short, I haven't given up hope for the Bioshocks, even though time has passed.
Thanks for everything!

Hmmmm! :) Not sure if you're wanting to join, but it looks like you actually played most of the games you won, unless you were cleverly idling them to fool people! :) You might not be jerky enough, so good luck with the Consolation Prizes! :)

Sorry, Steamgifts is running so slowly for me right now... :( So slowly I should just believe you and not check your wins, but that wouldn't be fair... :) Maybe you only think you're a jerk... :)

Looks like you haven't been here very long, so you haven't managed to win any great stuff yet... Lot of people like Payday 2 and Magicka, though. :)
I guess since you say you're more of a jerk I will believe you, but I don't think there's enough evidence to decide yet... :) So good luck! :)

Oh, I remember those EVE Online giveaways... :) I think all those things should be removed from the giveaway list, since every time it's in a bundle or cheap or something, this place is flooded. And they never redeem on Steam. I don't think it's actually possible to give a Steam copy of the game to anyone. :( Oh well. :)
Hmm, yeah all those two-entry giveaways are weird... :) Don't think that makes you a jerk, but I guess I'm jerk enough to flip a coin and say eh, jerkfest it is! :) Sorry! :) But good luck! :) You probably own all this bundle stuff either way... :)

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! :)
