Had a funny idea rattling around in my head recently, and today I have decided to put it into action. I have chosen a game that I have in my inventory that is on two of my friends' wish lists. I will pit them against each other in a head to head death match giveaway. They will be the only two able to enter, and I will not have need to bother a mod or admin for a re-roll that way. Really not a big event or anything but I thought this may be fun.

Thanks for all the positive responses!

S. Gifts Death Match

The results!

Today's contest is for the odd prize of CID the Dummy:

[Friend] Monukai

VS.

[Sparkle's] wbarton

ARE YOU READY FOR A SHOWDOWN WBARTON!?
YE WEASELY LAND LUBBER!

wbarton (4 minutes ago)
Ah ha! Found it! Prepare to be becalmed by my mighty bean bag launcher, Monukai!

Monukai (3 minutes ago)
Oh ho! Wait until I counter you with my Austrian mathematician and astronomy skills, we'll see just how Pythagorean your views on life are when I get done with you

TreadLife (1 second ago)
So much seething rage!

wbarton (1 minute ago)
Ha-ha! You fell into my trap! I subscribe to a world of flux, while your Platonistic leanings leave you mired in Zeno's paradox!

Monukai (42 seconds ago)
Paradox smaradox. I'm a wizard, I laugh at your paradox! Ha ha!

You want a paradox? Waves his staff at wbarton, teleporting him into an escher staircase

There is some paradox!

wbarton (3 minutes ago)
Oh, I love these things! Can you do a devil's tuning fork or a Penrose triangle? Those are neat, too.

Monukai (12 minutes ago)
Walks in the room with a hazmat suit, some radioactive substance in one hand, some poison in the other

Oh, such a fan of paradoxes, eh? Let's try Schrodinger's Wbarton

Are any of you Philosophy or Liberal Arts students? Frankly it's quite rare for me to find anyone mentioning Zeno's paradoxes, and I only know about it because my best friend loves to talk about it.

I realize this was more directed towards wbarton, but no. I am neither a philosophy or liberal arts student. CompSci \o/

The Escher staircase was a good move too!
Consolation prize: wbarton won, but at least he can't get out of that box, unless he's fine with breaking the flask with deadly poison.

Oh, I went to a liberal arts school. Took an honors intro to philosophy course, but I know a little about the subject anyway. :D

You should do more of these, maybe with semi random people on the Steam Gifts forums?

Sounds fun and ambitious, but that's a lot of wish lists to check, people to judge, and my wallet may turn against me.

Maybe don't check wishlists as such, just have an application thread where you say the next game and people post if you're interested?

Think that would get me in over my head. Appreciate the input, though. Anybody is welcome to take inspiration from this and run with it. Think I will keep my stuff smaller.

awesome idea! did you do it as a private giveaway or is the point of the group that it only has the giver and the two entrants in it?

Group giveaway, I had to have the guys re-sync here to participate after I invited them.
