I am sorry to ask you to do this, but can you please retract this statement. It could be misleading since I might post more GAs in this topic in the future. I'll update the topic and close it when it is actually over, so there's no need for comments like these.
Thanks for understanding!
I noticed that you should already know what I mean. That makes this comment even more distasteful :/
Please remove it.

I guess I owe you an apology for assuming that you made that statement intentionally to drive away any new potential member from trying to enter the event. Probably that wasn't your intent. I jumped to conclusion because of a similar argument I saw just a few days ago in a GA here.
Also, thanks for removing your comment.
Once again sorry for jumping to conclusion.

Thanks!
seeing it has been given away only once, despite being 144 in the community wishlist, I just had to give it away.
That's very generous of you, and sound reasoning; too bad I missed it 😝
Honestly, that was just the final push, I had been wanting to give away a good game, and Aiko's Choice is something I was dying to try myself.
Sorry about you missing it. But with the sale ending, I couldn't afford to let the GA run for longer. However, if I remember you correctly, you might still be better off than most others.

I haven't actually entered anything, but why do you suppose there has been a leak? The puzzle wasn't that hard, I believe.
If you find out that some people have bypassed illegally the sgtools, and you know who they are, report them to sgtools' creator, which makes them unable to enter any sgtools again, I believe, and inmediately blacklist all the guilty ones you find out.
One overkill solution is a sgtools for each giveaway.

Yes, that is it. That's how I am sure.

Oh, I didn't know about that. I'll definitely do that.

That is indeed what I am considering. I might recreate all ongoing GAs. It's probably not fair to the current entrants, but I don't know of any other way to fix this.

Small chance of this working, but if the person who bypassed the sgtools check is friends with one other person who entered, it's likely to be the person who leaked it. If they are friends with multiple people then it's not gonna help.
I doubt there's a way to know for sure though

It's my 2nd cakeday!!!!
Also, I reached level 5 today, for the second time :D
Anyway, there's been a lot to celebrate and whine about over the past two years. The kind of things that require GAs as per SG traditions, but I forgot to, eg. my 1st cake day, birthday, getting a dream job, leaving the dream job, etc, etc. So, I have decided to make a few GAs to make up for the all those missed events.
I have not yet decided how I will share those GAs, but I'll update here once I am ready. Probably by tomorrow.
PS: I am not really into celebrating such things or interested discussing them here. I just wanted to make some GAs for the above reason (the SG tradition), and also because I feel I had been kind of just leeching lately.
PPS: I actually did make about 10 GAs this week for this "event", but each time I forgot to make them private. So I am making this thread first this time.
Puzzle updated (Ended)
Even though I had planned on posting multiple GAs here, I have changed my mind. I am going to post just 1 GA in this thread. Even worse, at least this GA is region restricted!! However, I am sure that those who read descriptions should still be happy even after all these changes and restrictions.
Anyway, without further ado, here's a little puzzle for a bonus? GA for you all
https://www.sgtools.info/giveaways/#9?d23ec-fc42-11ec-a730-fa163e0a8583
Note: Sometimes it's worth solving puzzle for ended GAs too.
I really hope the puzzle was simple enough. However, if someone is having trouble, please let me know and I might drop a few hints.
PPPS: This GA is for Shadow Tactics: Aiko's Choice, the "standalone expansion"/spin-off to one of my favorite games of all times. I haven't played it yet, but got it for my self this sale, and seeing it has been given away only once, despite being 144 in the community wishlist, I just had to give it away.
Thanks to all for the wishes!
Help!!!
I discovered that people here have been leaking things that they shouldn't. Any advice what should I do?
Closing notes
I would like to thank everyone who participated in this event and making it so much fun. However, there were some naughty kids who thought their deeds would go unnoticed. Unfortunately, because of what they did, I have decided to delete all ongoing GAs. I will create them again in a new thread shortly. But those GAs will no longer be a part of this event that has gone bad.
I am really sorry to all the participants for the inconvenience that might have caused you. I'll try my best to make sure all the genuine participants from this event are able to make it to the next one.
PP..P...P.....PS
I have identified that the leak was by some multi-account user. I have not been able to identify their primary account (the one that got the invite only like through the correct medium), but at least some of their secondary accounts have been reported.
I am making Another Attempt at this. Hope all genuine SG users can particiapte.
