I was born and thrust into the world where everything is measured with money n academic degree. isn't that enough?
we should go back n tel the creature coming out from water thinking it's good evolutionary move that it's not worth the effort.
it's general angst against society
nothing really happened.
thanx for the concern and..

And hey, just to lighten up overall mood in here - in this stinky society there are also exist such sings as empathy, altruism, sincerity and other nice words! There is all sorts of wonderful life happening all around us all the time, we just don't used to notice nice stuff until it's hit us on head with a big sign.
Oh, to hell with that, I'm not good at those talks... Let me just give you a hug

start over.
there are 3 clues up there including hint.
2 guys found out w/o new hint.
first person made it in 10 mins..i thought i made it too easy..
Comment has been collapsed.
those 2 guys are probably a little more expert in solving puzzles. Not that easy for a starter.
Your hint is the picture?
So far I only found the 7 letters. But not how to use them. Like itstoohard leads to nowhere.

if you visit SG puzzles section every 2 days or so, you can solve it.

Quick question: are we looking for SG or itstoohard ?
Comment has been collapsed.
Damn, I ain't good in puzzles. Found what was to be found, I know what does the image represents but got no fucking idea how to connect the dots and receive the answer xd

Nah, after the giveaway I will ask for wholesome explanation, right now these two have 50% chance of winning :D

I feel like I'm really close but I still can't solve it. Anyone can solve this, right ? There's no need to be in a certain group ?
Comment has been collapsed.

Thx, I have no idea what should I do and I feel more stupid now !

Giving up, would need more hints to solve that :( Nice puzzle though, looking forward to solution (but I would prefer hint/-s earlier instead :P )

check description again. I updated it some 6-7 hours ago.

I've checked it before posting here so I guess I'm too stupid. I think I am very close but well... So far I'm giving up, perhaps if some hint appeared I would try again. Thank You for your reply though.

OK, now that it's over, I'd really like to know how to solve it.
I figured out it has something to do with your past giveaway of Betrayer, and I found the image you posted is the avatar of someone in your friend list.
Also I just noticed the hidden link for the online calculator with a roman number converter. Is this what you added last or was it there since the beginning ?
Comment has been collapsed.
had nothing to do with Betrayer, as far as I am aware :p

et tu brute and the time of creation. these are clues too.
This is what lead me to think it was related. Quote related with betrayal, and the private giveaway was created the day the Betrayer giveaway ended.
But now that I found the online calculator with the roman number converter, I'm thinking I may have overthinked this

- There's text hidden in the description: "ThcxcCC"
- The poll's question "et tu, Brute?" is a reference to Caesar.
- I'm not sure about the date...
- To get the answer: decipher this "ThcxcCC" using a "Caesarian Shift" cipher (link - set N to 23, this must be the date thing) and then use the result as a /go/comment/"answer" link on this site (hover over any permalink, under any post to know what I mean).

My Grandfather smoked his whole life. I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, "If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately." Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately. Three years later he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me- "Don't ever smoke. Please don't put your family through what your Grandfather put us through." I agreed. At 28, I have never touched a cigarette. I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it, because your post gave me cancer anyway.

And I thought the 5 dots as the last poll question had a meaning in Mors Code :d
And the picture I read as a the type of word that can be read from the end or the beginning and it means the same. Over did it

got to the code and Caesar. But didn't get it was ceasar encrypted :( Ah well, I'll try again when you post a new puzzle
Comment has been collapsed.
trust fucking no one..
Edit- hint-
Solution :-
1)
Select the whole description. right click> open sorce code. you can see ThcxcCC code. "et tu, Brute?" in the poll question & 15 March were clues to point towards Caesar. As --March 15, 44 BC
Julius Caesar, Date of assassination-- &--those were supposed to be his last words. you can simply google "et tu brute"and find out.
2)
Caesar cipher is one of the simplest and most widely known encryption technique. When you go to http://online-calculators.appspot.com/caesar/ (site found by googling caesar cipher) and decrypt the code ThxcCC, you get QezuzZZ.
3)
Photo of akash's profile picture was hint to puzzle he created here - http://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/U9PtW/ended-testing-testing-pcbxuxt/search?page=31337 . which uses permalink comment like - www.steamgifts.com/go/comment/QezuzZZ which copy pasted in browser toolbar takes you to the the giveaway.
