Yeah, good point. :) I'd feel bad if someone got permabanned for having 20 tabs open and entering everything really quickly, though... Know I've heard that excuse once or twice... :)
And I wonder how many people would end up blaming their little brother for it... :) Like that "VAC Discussion" forum, usually good for a laugh or two... :)

Oh yeah the tab excuse, I've heard that one before >< ah well, nothing that can be done really, the most annoying part is that there is a lot of higher level users using such scripts :(

Well, I've heard the name, but I have no idea what it is (or was) - never played much MMO type stuff at all... I played a fair amount of a Star Wars one, a Star Trek one, umm, and a little bit of some other stuff I'm forgetting... Just not my thing, I guess... :(

allow me to enlighten you: what you just did here, with the large key drop, is quite similar to a player triggered mini-event, where people (or just one generous host) adds items/gold/etc (valuable, cheap, does not matter). in the chest from the so called party room. Then, at any point, a lever can be pulled and the party starts! All of those items fall randomly in that party room, but they are inside party balloons,those small ones that you can stomp on. At that point it's anyone's game, some are empty, some have items, but you can't know which is which. You need to be decided and act fast, to be able to get something, especially when the room is crowded. It somehow reminded me of that.

Aha, interesting, thank you for the explanation... Yeah, guess that's the same sort of thing. Nothing valuable in these balloons, though... :)
I still have some Dark Souls keys I could have used, and there's a Chronicles of Riddick I keep intending to give away, but those keys didn't seem to fit for some reason. So bundle leftovers it is... :)

Aha, hopefully you won't get fooled again... :)
Good luck! :)

What can I do, I'm who I am. Thank you nonetheless ;

Rip comment ratio, long gone with the "don't comment my gib or I'll blacklist you grr!" threats
Unfortunately, looking at the thread, can't see anything out of the ordinary, once again I have proven to be only human :D
Thanks for the giveaways!
PS: There is a good solution, something like a captcha for every entry would do till they can break it. Or using placeholder gibs and using a ITH or jigidi gateway in order to reach the actual one might work as well, basically like forum puzzles but listed in the giveaways. Both should be implemented by SG in order to work properly, not much you can do yourself for now except the obvious known solutions like forum puzzles, hidden links, adding extra layers of security like broken links or anything that needs human interaction and intelligence, hoping that hasn't been implemented in the auto entry bot yet...

I'm afraid, I might have been misunderstood, I meant something else...
These are the giveaways I'm looking for even though I wasn't looking for anything in particular :)
Well I kind of had an idea of what was in the thread when I saw your name since by now you can add a Sakura tag next to your name and even Winged Cloud would approve it :D The key drop part is a total surprise though and I have no idea about what to do with them except putting my account on an endless cooldown loop from too many tries. I guess that makes me Human.

Damn.. I knew what was hidden, I just didn't know how it was hidden :D
I should have kept following the new batches I guess.. The hints later on made it pretty obvious, now I can see that.
Sadly funny fact after getting my IP banned from too many wrong SG gib tries from the first batch, I gave up and quit following the new codes :d
Well, I was too focused on the decimals and the phonetic part, I missed the other things. I should have followed the new batches.
Oh well, thanks for putting up the solution, I was really curious. Now I feel dumb but also content :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes you can, I think it was mentioned before in a giveaway event where you had to find the working link among many random SG links for each wagon of a long train. You get a temp IP ban after about 100 tries in a short time (maybe a few hours?) I think. Fortunately it had no effect on my account and since I have dynamic IP, I just reset my router and problem was solved.

I suspect that all of the keys have been nabbed, though I only attempted a few random ones. But thank you anyway!

I'm always away when the good stuff happens. Thanks for your generosity regardless.

Thanks for being so generous with us, even though you already know that half of us are actually ninja bots wearing the faces of dead honorable Steamgifts members stapled on our foreheads.
I won't even try to touch the keys since 2 hours have already passed since you posted, and that means by now the keys have probably been used more than a discounted prostitute on Valentine's day.
Here's something back to you: another comment to keep baby Jesus from crying for a while. Good luck in raising him! I know he's gonna grow up to be a nice guy, he does that every year. ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
Aha, no, I didn't know that, interesting! :)
It's probably for the best, but there's always the chance everyone started testing keys from the top of the list, and some got missed near the bottom... Guess finding unused keys now is impossible, maybe if there had been a bigger pile of keys you'd have some hope... Oh well... :)
Thank you! :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I used to make puzzles, but that's just too much work... :)
So nowadays I use dumb stuff like youtube links, and trust people to figure out that "wtf=blablabla" in the url isn't really part of the video... Oh, there's an example here. :)
Yeah, I think only about 5-10% of people entering public giveaways read the descriptions... You could hide a cure for cancer in there, and most people would never notice...

Comment ratio? Where have you been? Nobody even remembers that nonsense...
I doooooo!
Them were thy good olde days, aye. Nearly no blacklist drama, barely and giveaway ratio bullshit... good times.
Not saying things aren't good as they are, but I do miss the Steamgifts from a couple of years ago at times. :D

Yeahhh, that's a bit more in the past. I only joined around the time the "thanks for Skyrim!" jokes were all the rage, and Fortix was SG's mascot game, not Bad Rats. :P

So, anyway, a few people noticed there was hidden stuff in this thing. Buying a lot of bundles gives you a lot of keys, so if you're trying to hide something, there's a good chance you'll be able to find a key you can use, somehow... Let's see if I can remember all the hidden stuff before I fall asleep... :)
Basically you want to read this guide if you're going to hunt for hidden stuff on Steamgifts. For this particular "puzzle" you only need to know the existence of phonetic alphabet and ASCII. Turn the "WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT" into WTF, turn the ASCII codes into whatever, get the hidden stuff, profitz! :)
If you look at all of my "leftover bundle keys" there were a lot of repeated things which could have been a big coincidence but weren't. :) Look at how many places "45 47 48 6C 58" turns up. That's the ASCII code for
EGHlX
which should suggest https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/EGHlX/ - give it a try! You might find something! :)From the second batch, hidden stuff was "NOTHING TO SEE HERE", wallet code "WT3DF-N7D90-BYMMI", wallet code "TY2JW-EHJYD-0LH7I". Can't remember if anyone mentioned trying those wallet codes so let's assume people did. :)
From the third batch, "45 47 48 6C 58" again, then "TRY OTHER SIDE MAN" on the left of two separate batches, which suggests something on the right. On the right was "BWI5F-AX76F-JJ6RJ" and "2KKRZ-6LJFR-EL3XR" which were The Witness from Humble Monthly, and a $20 wallet code. Both got redeemed but nobody said anything. Thanks, bots! :(
In the final batch, since I was a bit disappointed to see nobody mentioned the previous day's wallet code or the Witness I said screw it. Just bundle leftovers. Kept my last wallet codes and a Riddick key for next time... :) And to mess with the bots I started with 100% used keys. Of course I had a warning in boldface ASCII code for the humans, "SPECIAL CRAP KEYS FOR BOT JERKS ONLY" "ENJOY COOLDOWN AS THESE KEYS ARE BAD" "ONE MORE BATCH FOR THE 999 ALT CLOWNS" "DONT BOTHER SINCE THESE ARE BAD ALSO". :) Then the 100% unused keys, "FINALLY SOME GOOD KEYS FOR NICE TIME" "SOMETIMES THERES A HIDDEN GIVEAWAY" "THIS LAST BATCH IS HIDING A HINT GL HF" and the phonetic alphabet stuff was one final "45 47 48 6C 58".
Hope you had fun! :) Thank you for playing! :)
Original stuff here:
Read everything if you like to read... :) Otherwise, check the bottom for the latest batch of leftover +1 junk... :)
What can change the nature of automatic giveaway entering script clowns? Oh, pretend it's a poll or something...
The accumulated guilt from winning hundreds of games they didn't even want? :)
Guilt? From getting free stuff? What's that then?
The shame of ten thousand giveaways entered, and no comments? :)
Comment ratio? Where have you been? Nobody even remembers that nonsense...
Maybe an infinite recursion from linked bad rats giveaways, gobbling up all their ram? :)
My grandmother's a better programmer than that, and she's dead!
Or maybe this... Trying to redeem too many leftover bundle keys? Oho, was that final key bad, or are you on cooldown? :) By the time you find out, some other bot will have nabbed it... :)
Hmmm, but what if one of them was actually a wallet code? You'd never think to check that! Or maybe the key is backwards! Or maybe it's for a DMCAd game so you can't even redeem it!
To the ASF people with their 100 card farming accounts: you can probably redeem every key at once, so would you kindly screw off and leave them for the humans? It's just bundle leftovers anyway. Thanks. :)

I gotta thank God
'Cause He gave me the strength to troll Hard...
Good luck! :)
Found some more bundle leftovers for the bots or insomniac humans out there... :) Hopefully the bots don't know the phonetic alphabet... :)
Oh, hey, it should be a bunch of cheap garbage, but if you stumble upon something good let me know... :) Or not, I guess... :(
