Contribution to the Nominees train: mystery game by JonathanKalo; Death Goat by nonamebg

72 valid nominations till now, check here to see who (disclaimer; clean sheet check at start of trains)

Click here to see who already made 1 or 2 nominations...


From time to time there's a big clickbait announcement of great games given away by someone and you enter the thread in anticipation ….

... to find out it's another nomination thread ...

In those threads you see the same names getting nominated time and again and not without reason: they are the ones making all those events, creating the puzzles we have fun with, commenting on anything&everything and giving away ludicrous amounts of games. They are the backbone of our community and they deserve some recognition.

But recently a few far too many!!! of those 'community leaders' have announced they'll be leaving SteamGifts temporarily?!. And that made me and Fruitbean wonder who will be the community leaders of tomorow...

So we thought of this event which is meant to be a nice way to shine a little light on the lesser known heroes of SteamGifts. The people who are kinda new and trying to find out what this community is all about... The people who aren't yet invited to all the cool inner circle groups that are around but will be after this!... The people who are not addicted yet... but have every sign they will be very soon

So please nominate 1 or 2 lesser known heroes who you think will be the community leaders of tomorrow and explain in a few words why (no explanation = no nomination). First come, first serve. So pick your favourites quickly! I wonder how many people find this sneaky link

Rules on nominees:

  • level 2 to 5
  • more than 50 % public giveaways (and/or private forum giveaways open to the community)
  • clean sheet: no non activated games, no multiple wins, no vac bans

Rules on nominators:

  • clean sheet: no non activated games, no multiple wins, no vac bans
  • don’t nominate anyone who nominated you

All valid nominees will be invited to a group and get access to a train with Tomb Raider: Anniversary, Tomb Raider: Legend, Tomb Raider: Underworld, Primal Carnage, Yosumin, Sparkle 2 Evo, The Last Remnant, Bloodrayne 2, Gyromancer, Journal, Lara Croft & the Temple of Osiris, Bedlam, Just Cause Collection, Monochroma, Tomb Raider: GOTY Edition, Alien: Isolation, Hitman Absolution: Elite Edition, South Park™: The Stick of Truth™, Sniper Elite 3
All nominators of valid nominees will be invited to a group with access to a train with Murdered: Soul Suspect, Millie, Front Mission Evolved, Room 13 and Evil Within

But wait, there's more!

In 6 months we'll check on all nominees to see their progress in becoming the next community leaders. We'll measure their progress in 5 categories:

  • most events/puzzles made since start of event (nominees have to provide links for this one)
  • most ga's made since start of event
  • most comments since start of event
  • most real cv value of ga's made since start of event
  • best known / most popular (measured by some sort of poll)

The top 3 of all categories will get invited to a special group with special goodies. If a winner of a previous category gets another top 3 spot, number 4 will take his/her place and so on. 15 winners in total, no more. Their nominators can expect something too.

NOTE: If a nominee doesn't want to be part of this event, just decline the invite to the group and you're out. Simple as that.

Gequila, I see him around in the forums quite a lot. His train giveaway descriptions are interesting (he has great taste in TV shows btw), and also introduced many interesting upcoming games in the most recent train. And nice ratio to boot! But level 6 though, hope you can make an exception.

Otherwise, Nordhbane - solves a lot of puzzles, makes some too.

Well, If you insist, here comes a few awesome users from my wishlist with less than a year on SG. All nice people with great ratio and level for just a few months:
stlpaul, TrevorGoodchild, elpresidenteg, ziltoid84, heartofalizard and hyperxduel. Strikethrough for users already nominated or who don't meet the requirements
Lanny223 and Zoey1 were also on my list but I just saw that others nominated them. Well deserved!

These are not nominations. You can only make 1 or 2 and I already made one on the previous page. I'm just mentioning some users because Waxlor and Fruitbean suggested so, as some people are having some troubles remembering people to nominate :)

Grhm grhm. Have to clear my throat since llSomarll helpfully reminded me that one can nominate only one person / being so my choice would be heartofalizard. She has been quite(!) active during her stay at the SG community :) Also I suppose that now we know that lizards are cool, not slimy and yucky like some of us likely thought before. More like they have heart of gold or something ^^

And one more thing llSomarll, spandex men are lvl6 so no no :) Also I think that I will have less time with SG on this year (atleast the beginning of the year), having less money and all. No, I'm not leaving and will haunt the discussions, solve puzzles etc BUT can't really give much

Comment has been collapsed.

But but... lizards! Naww... Well maybe I can get over this.
I humbly present a rising star (only 1 month in the community, well 2 months tomorrow) called ryanimator. He has done quite many giveaways in a small time and has a great sense of humour (I can assure that). He has even given Bad Rats to some lucky guy. I didn't win the giveaway, darn it, but ryanimator was THE DUDE and gave me another gift copy after the giveaway ended. How nice is that? Now we only need to pester him some what and make him the most active guy on the forums ^^

You wanted two? Quite harsh when I had hart time picking only one! Actually two already ;D Just joking around, I even have third up on my sleeve: Davidtcg. Goes just under the lvl6 so if I type fast I can still fit him in the criteria! Really humble developer with really generous heart (I like hearts, okay). I hope that neither of these guys can be found to be already nominated, I checked the list but might have missed them (I'm quite tired atm).

Really sorry about this Numeron, but Fruitbean and I had a little discussion about Davidtcg. In retrospect we don't think it's fair to include a developer in this event. I tried to contact him on steam, but sadly he declined my invite so I can't... So, you've got one spot left if you want to use it

I'd like to nominate SteamedToast
http://www.steamgifts.com/user/SteamedToast
That is .... provided he's not y'know... someone fancy already (I'm not massively present on the forums)
He got myself, and probably quite a few others interested in the SG community through his forum giveaway mysteriousness. Most notably the shenanagans with eggs and getting users together via a steam group "toasty monsters"
http://www.steamgifts.com/group/GMj2B/toastymonsters
The group's been the most fun I've had in a steam community in a long time. Fun enough that it got me to burn some of my holiday funds on giving back.

They're quite quirky lol. I personally tend to miss out on MOST of the giveaways... because I'm too busy working to sit down and figure out the roundabout puzzles involved in getting to the link. But the story/puzzles involved are fun/interesting enough that I weirdly don't care too much that I'm "missing out" most times.

This came out of nowhere.
I appreciate your gesture but I don't deserve to be a part of this.

  • I did not make many giveaways, (most of them are bundle games too)
  • It's possible that I will never be able to make giveaways again.
  • I do not post much but when i do post it doesn't turn out to be good. (I usually don't have much to say, if at all)
  • I have never created a puzzle/event nor have I managed to solve puzzles.
  • Obviously I am one of those people who people will be glad to NOT know

I thank you again for the kind gesture but it is undeserved.

Edit: Also, it seems my contributor level is over 5.00

  • You've done enough and a lot of bundle games are awesome!
  • You can contribute in so many other ways to this community!
  • Student sees something in you, so you've done something right :)
  • There's a first time for everything!
  • secret event rule: being humble > being a showoff.... passed flawlessly

we accept anything up to 5.99 :)
