Best vegetable?
and cucumber. the botanical definitions are technically correct, but the culinary definitions are far more useful really. tomatoes, cucumbers and such aren't likely to go so well with ice cream or custard as they would with some coleslaw, cheeses, lettuce, etc
interestingly many fruits will go nicely as either a pudding or in a salad though
and now I'm hungry

Thanks! And yeah, not worried about CV so much, it's just that I'd like to strike a balance between exclusiveness and participation. When I give away games at the higher levels, ideally that sweet spot would be 30 or more entries. This gives everyone who participates a great chance, without it having been too restrictive. At lower levels, all bets are off... feed my ego by having as many people as possible enter. ;)

well - getting 30+ Entries on level 10 GA can be hard unless you are giving a new or very niche game that almost noone has. With anything that has been in bundle or on major sales - a lot of users will already have it. Others will not be intrested, others are no longer active, others may miss your GA because they don't scan SG 24/7 and so on and on ;)
It would be impossible to check all level 10s without a lot of work, but checking my steam friendlist - over 60% on it already own this game. As level 10 users most of the time own more games than average user we can assume that % of ownership among level 10s will be even higher. Let's assume 70-75%. That means that out of 140 level 10s only 35-42 miss this game. Now add unintrested ones, ones that don't join GAs at all, ones that are inactive and so on and on - it means that getting even 30 entries would be statistically impossible ;)

i think that will be very hard with most bundle games. many of the 10's buy lots of bundles and have lots of games already.
nevertheless, i appreciate the gesture. :)

Yeah, it's definitely looking that way. Into the final day and there's a grand total of one entry.
No matter what, I have no intention of deleting the giveaway, and I'll be happy with what entries I do get, I'm just still hoping for a few more. ;)

ENDED Particulars (3 copies), invite-only
ENDED The Night of the Rabbit (3 copies), Levels 4+, 5+ and 6+ (1 copy each)
ENDED Gimbal (5 copies), invite-only
A while ago I was steadily increasing the levels for a select few of my giveaways in order to thank those who have contributed a lot to the site. I got all the way to Level 9 before I received so little interest that I only had two entries(!) in a public giveaway. I had chosen a game with good reviews from a good company, but alas, due to the smaller number of people at that level and the fact that it had been bundled previously, there just wasn't a great deal of interest. Back then, I said that I wanted to do something special for those at Level 10, and I think (hope) I have found just the game.
Coming up is not one, not two, not even three or four, but five copies of a game with 91% positive user reviews on Steam and a Metacritic score of 75/100 as a special giveaway for the Level 10s. I hope to give away all five copies at once, so I hope that at least five Level 10 contributors enter this giveaway.

Still only one entry for my Level 10 The Night of the Rabbit giveaway, so I've decided to split this giveaway into one public and one invite only.
