I see a lot of 7s in the thread so here is my guess: Your milestone is that you have 777 Games in your steam library
Comment has been collapsed.
Is the milestone something personal to you or steam gifts related?
Edit: Damn it... should read the rules first...

Does it have something to do with your played wins? Is see you at least played all of them at some time (excluding the not relased one) ;)

Is the milestone because of the ammount of games that you have hidden ?

Is the milestone contained on this page? https://www.steamgifts.com/stats/personal/community

Really good one! I keep forgetting about that page.

Is your whitelist filled with scammers? And you just balcklisted them?

I bet CaptainMcCalvo nailed it, but in case that was not it...

Is this milestone has something to do with a number "7"?

Has the whitelist count reached a milestone number related to personal experiences?

Does it have to do with the sum of whitelists and blacklists?

Does the milestone involve only the number of your whitelist/blacklist (the number of time you've been whitelisted/blacklisted), and not anything else (years you've been on SG, games you won, number of people on your blacklist/whitelist, etc.)?
Comment has been collapsed.
If I give you a whitelist now, would I mess things up?
Comment has been collapsed.
My guess is the number of their whitelist and blacklist went over a certain number. Since it's not about ratio, and I would think having WL and BL equal to some exactly number isn't really a milestone.
Comment has been collapsed.
So the milestone is any combination of your received WL and BL entries and is in relation to (a) video game(s)?
Comment has been collapsed.
Damn it, some questions are hard to answer with just a yes or a no. I'm going to make an exception here.
So the milestone is any combination of your received WL and BL entries
Yes
and is in relation to (a) video game(s)?
I said that is related to videogames because steamgifts is related to videogames, and the milestone is related to steamgifts, that's it.

Okay that's what confused me so it's now clearer thanks :)

Is it about one number being greater than or equal to another number?
Comment has been collapsed.
Is it about the number of times you've been whitelisted being greater than the number of people on your whitelist?
Comment has been collapsed.
Is your whitelist now over 7x the number compared to your blacklist?
Comment has been collapsed.
Would this milestone be considered notable to any member of SG who achieved it? (as opposed to something idiosyncratic to you like your WL/BL numbers matching the date you joined SG)
Comment has been collapsed.
It is difficult to answer because it depends on what others consider, but I'm going to say yes.
Comment has been collapsed.
Is the task at hand simply guessing the number of people who have you whitelisted?
Comment has been collapsed.
is the milestone we are searching a number which is greater then or equal to 15?

Is the milestone related to the history of your WLed/BLed statistics? I mean the graph shows something that the sole value does not?

Have you been more times whitelisted than blacklisted?

Vague Guess: You finally (in 8 years) got your Whitlists number more than Blacklists number? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Is this about your whitelisted to blacklisted (by other people) ratio reaching the specific number? Thanks for the game, by the way.

is it related to the level on your steamgift? (Level 7)

As you bolded the "a" in the answer to JackSpirio's question does that mean that the milestone are multiple numbers?
Comment has been collapsed.
Is your milestone that you have been whitelisted a certain number of times and you have been blacklisted zero times?
Comment has been collapsed.
That's one of the tricky ones. Because you are right, but an x:0 ratio can also be interpreted as infinity, and infinity is greater than 7. So I said Yes because I thought that if I said No it would cause more confusion. Now with Caractacus' question it is clear.
Comment has been collapsed.
You are right that it is undefined in the general case because for a ratio like a/x when x approaches zero from the positive side, a/x goes to positive infinity, but when x approaches zero from the negative side, a/x goes to negative infinity.
However, in our case the number of blacklists is (hopefully) always non-negative, so we can safely say that the limit is positive infinity.
Comment has been collapsed.
no, actually it can't be interpreted as infinity. Division by zero is undefined for a reason. If you want simple (and not completely correct because of that) definition - it's both infinity and minus infinity at the same time. So it's both greater than 7 and less than 7.
Comment has been collapsed.
(Following up after Caractacus)
Is your milestone that you have been whitelisted 100 times and you have been blacklisted zero times?
Comment has been collapsed.
It's easy! The milestone is that you have reach 7,55 CV! Shows over folks!
Comment has been collapsed.
What do you mean by "milestone"? Is it a specific number, link or a word? Or the point of the game is to find out what milestone is?
Thank for creating this event, I'll take part in it for sure. :D
Comment has been collapsed.
So just to be sure, if anybody guesses the correct milestone, everybody will get access to the train, or only that person, who guessed right? :)

Did you hit the same amount of whitelists and blacklists?

Remember, ask the questions by responding to the first comment.
Comment has been collapsed.
I am going to make a clarification. There is a difference between my whitelist and how many times I have been whitelisted. On the stats page the statistics is whitelists/blacklists but it's not the same to ask for my whitelist stats (count, ratio...) as how many times I've been whitelisted stats (count,ratio...)
Comment has been collapsed.
So, what we know by far is that, that the milestone is a statistic on https://www.steamgifts.com/stats/personal/community, related to whitelists and blacklists numbers.
It has nothing to do with Adekus' whitelist or blacklist - it's only about numbers of others who whitelisted and blacklisted Adekus.
If I'm wrong, please correct me.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, so it must be something related to how many times you have been whitelisted and blacklisted, because only this statistic is shown on the stats page, right? Number of your whitelists is on the diffirent page.
Comment has been collapsed.
I have mentioned it a couple of times in the thread but to avoid misunderstanding I have updated the post with a note.
Comment has been collapsed.
Although it might be something simpler I'm starting to think that it might have something to do with a change in the values(gained XX whitelists in one day, resolved a conflict and being removed form blacklist etc). Hope my question will help decide whether a single measurement is enough or the history of the measurements matters
Edit With the recent clarification I would suggest asking whether the milestone is about WLed/BLed ratio - the question asked before was about the number of people the OP added to his WL/BL.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, I guess someone needs to ask (replying to the first comment) if the milestone is "Whitelisted/Blacklisted ratio reached 7" (or over 7). It might not be the answer depending on how this and this question were interpreted but it's a start. :D
Alternatively, I'm dumb and should have asked if the milestone is directly related to the whitelisted to blacklisted ratio. Because English words tend to have too many meanings and interpretations. So, yeah, someone might wanna ask that in case my question was rendered meaningless by the word "answer" being interpreted as "the answer to my question"... :T

Important information to note:
- If the question asks about whitelists or blacklists, the answer is in relation to his personal whitelist and blacklist that he created.
- If the question asks about whitelisted or blacklisted, the answer is in relation to the number of people who have whitelisted or blacklisted him.
Quick reference of some questions already answered:

Is your whitelisted to blacklisted ratio equal to or greater than 7? Yes
this one seems important too
Comment has been collapsed.
it seems the milestone isn't a number, but maybe multiple
Comment has been collapsed.
No-one's still guessed if the milestone is "Whitelisted/Blacklisted ratio reached 7". People asked if that statement is true but not if that's the answer to the game.
Comment has been collapsed.
Is your milestone whitelisted equal 10x blacklisted?
Comment has been collapsed.
The mystery has been solved. I've made an update, you can now take your ticket for the train.
Some questions were difficult to answer because they can be interpreted in several ways, and even the milestone can be interpreted in several ways, 100:0 is the same ratio as 1:0 so technically I have always had the same ratio and it's not even a number and it can be interpreted as infinite or undefined. I have tried to respond in the least confusing way considering that some questions cannot be answered simply with a Yes or a No.
I hope you liked the event, good luck with the train!

Thanks for the event! I gotta say, it's really darn impressive that you didn't land on someones blacklist after 8 years on this site given that certain individuals will jump at the opportunity to BL others for the pettiest of reasons.

When it comes to writing, I'm a lazy guy so I usually don't participate in discussions, I guess that keeps me away from a lot of blacklists.

Well you've participated a fair bit the last few days. I hope i don't jinx it for you but i did ruin your perfect ratio as i gave you a WL :D

I guess I'll just have to live with my ratio being ruined.
Thank you :)

I recently have reached a particular milestone, so let's celebrate it with a train.
Now I should say what the milestone is and put the link to the train but instead... I want to play a game.
UPDATE
The game is over, the puzzle has been solved!. The milestone is that I have been whitelisted 100 times and blacklisted zero times, a whitelisted/blacklisted ratio of 100:0, so why not celebrate it by sharing this infinite positivity with all of you? Here's the train, all on board!
Thanks to all of you who have added me to their whitelist and to all of you who participated in this event. Good luck to all!
The game
The train is created and is running, it has 7 wagons and will last for a week.
It's a community game, to get on the train one of you has to find out what the milestone is and when that happens I will put the link to the train and everyone will be able to get on board.
To find out what the milestone is you have to ask me questions that can be answered with a yes or a no, or if you think you know what the milestone is you can make a guess.
Each user can make only one question/guess.
To make the question/guess respond to the first comment that I will leave below.
You can use the rest of the thread to suggest what the next question should be, make a guess, whatever, but I'm not going to answer there. Unless it's a question about the rules.
Every day that passes without anyone finding out what the milestone is I will reveal one of the games in the train so that you know what you are missing.
If no one finds out what the milestone is in 7 days the train will disappear forever with no passenger on board.
Maybe I will delay the answers to make it more... interesting.

Note:
Many questions about whitelisting can have different answers depending on how you read them. This is how I am reading them.
A question about my whitelist count, ratio, whatever: It is about my whitelist, the amount of people that I have added to my whitelist.
A question about my whitelisted count, ratio, whatever: It is about the amount of people that have added me to the their whitelist.
The same for the blacklist/blacklisted
