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! :)

And any Consolation Prize people who reached the "last" giveaway and saw:

Sorry, ran out of bundle games, nice people! :)

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! :)

What a neat idea. =P I suppose I'll take a go at this.

I would like to try for the Jerkfest Consolation Prizes!

  • I carefully checked the examples of qualifying Jerkfest behaviour, and failed to meet any of them.

  • I've thanked someone who gave away a game, even when I didn't win.

  • I've won some great games, and actually played them - (Still working on getting through them, though. These things take time, man =P).

  • I've gotten some achievements playing those trading card games I won, instead of using Idle Master for the free cards.

  • I don't enter giveaways of games that I'm not actually interested in playing.

  • I'm not a very social person, but I've helped out some users on the forums when they were trying to figure something out. A few times were related to trying to help them remember what some game was that they've played in the past.

  • I try to be kind and polite to everyone, online and offline, even when something they do or say actually makes me mad or annoys me.

  • I'm not a Steamgifts related Moderator/etc person, but I was a player Moderator on RuneScape for about 6 years, if that counts as something. =)

  • I don't like being a jerk. It makes me feel like crap. =(

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

I'm not exactly sure what you qualify as "Robo-commenting", but I admit, in most public giveaways that I've entered I will usually write a pretty generic "Thanks.", or similar, especially now, after nearing 17,000 giveaways entered. It's very hard to write meaningful comments on every giveaway, especially when you know 99% of the time it won't be read, but I probably should try saying a bit more than I do now. =/

Anyway, there you go. =)

Hmm, I was going to say sorry, you forgot to play all this great stuff:

Bioshock
Bioshock 2
DiRT Megapack
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Mirror's Edge
Spec Ops: The Line
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II :(
Syberia Bundle

Plus a bunch of mediocre stuff nobody else played, either... :)

But then I thought, the Jerkfest is ending in about 8 hours, why not just let these last two people try for the Consolation Prizes? I won't be around to add anyone else, so it looks like you two got lucky! :)

I would like to try for the Jerkfest Consolation Prizes please if possible. I think i can apply because:

  • I don't qualify for the jerk list
  • Thanked people who created giveaways even if i didn't win. Actually i sometimes even thank people even if I don't enter if I had fun with their puzzle but i'm not interested in the game. Making the puzzle takes actually more time than creating the giveaway after all.
  • I only won one game in here but I actually played it, even if it didn't have any cards. Sorry I don't have achievements on it to prove it though, but it was fun.

In any case if I can't enter, no worry, and good luck to everyone :)

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

Though I gave something back, but way too little + I wasn't that active :/

Maybe I'm just too friendly on the last day but it looks like you played a lot of your wins, so I'll pretend you didn't say anything about being kicked from that group and invite you to the Consolation Prizes too... :)

By the way, if you don't notice I've added you on steam soon, you'll lose your chance... :( So if anyone else who was invited to the Consolation Prize happens to notice in time, they have my permission to send RaPtUrA the url. :) Good luck, if you notice in time... :)

So... the Jerkfest giveaways are over. And despite the pretty good odds I walked away empty-handed. Oh well, can't always be lucky.
If you didn't win and feel entitled to a game anyway, I'll chuck in a Bonus Round.

You might want to check this thing, but basically 6c3353486e is hexadecimal, and SWo4VFg= is base64. These are too simple to be called puzzles. If you hang around in the forum you'll see this stuff often.
