Hi. I've come up with nice event with great prizes in the end. As you can see from the title, this event will involve jigidi puzzles (24 in total, to be exact). It will be in form of Advent calendar where you will need to solve each day's jigidi in order to get some points. More points -> Better stuff at the end.
To be more fair to people who aren't always online, each weekday puzzle will be running for 3 days and weekend puzzles will be available from friday to monday.

Jigidies will be posted at 8pm gmt+2 each day from 1st December to 24th December.

Help on how to and correct point table has been posted in website's help category
Some points have been calculated, you can see them in your profile.

Points will be awarded/taken away for:

  • Solving each jigidi (+20p)
  • Solving each jigidi on exact date (+10p)
  • Solving jigidi faster than given base time (+1p/sec)
  • Solving jigidi slower than given base time (-1p/15 sec)
  • Missing jigidi (-35p and -1p/15 sec of base time)
  • Lying in result submission form (-250p)
  • Submitting ineligible screenshot (-100p)

Extra points:

  • Registering before 1st December 8pm gmt+2 (+15p)
  • Solving this past jigidi (+25p)
  • Submitting legit bug report (+15p)
  • Submitting legit translations for site in another language (+1p/translation)
  • Missing jigidi / submission because of my fault (+10p)

Eligibility:

  • To be eligible for prizes in the end, you must have positive point value
  • Each day's fastest solvers will be eligible for a game of their choice. Voting will be added mid-December.
  • Top 24 users with most points will be eligible for a game of their choice. Voting will be added closer to event end.
  • Top 100 users will eligible for bundle train after event.
  • All users with positive point value will be eligible for other giveaways over the course of event.

I've made a website for this event. For now you can only sign in through Steam aka register there. Everything else will be available in next few days, with first jigidi coming tomorrow.

https://advent.source.lv

Now you can see your submissions in profile page. Next stop -> point calculation

If you have any questions, ask below in this thread. DO NOT ADD ME to discuss this event, write everything you want in here. If you already are in my friend's list on Steam, you can write me if you don't want to post here.

For blacklisted people:
If you join and get to Top 24 fastest solvers or Top 24 in most points, I'll remove you from my blacklist if you are not in my DO NOT REMOVE list (10 - 15 users in there)

P.S.
Please Bump This Up

Solving past puzzle now won't get you any points! To get points, you needed to solve it when it was active!

i have an actual free time problem here. i won't add giveaways to current site, as it requires me develop something, but i haven't finished next site either. i have all gifts for winners, just give some time for me to make new site

Maybe just create private steamgroup and do steamgifts giveaway to that group then invite the ones that are on the lists in and do little bit at a time. (it's probably faster than creating a whole website lol)

I know you're not done with scoring this event yet, but I'm on your blacklist, and fairly high on the leaderboard so far. Since you offered to remove the top 24 people from your blacklist, just wondering what I'd need to do to be removed. Thanks!

I remember you asked for volunteers to help count up the points and then changed your mind shortly afterwards. I'm done exams on Thursday, if you'd like help finishing/closing up this event by calculating the remaining scores? As I previously stated, I already own all of the prizes, so I have nothing to gain from this in any way that would benefit me. Just offering since I know that life can get busy ~

the thing is that i need to code some stuff to let someone else check scores, otherwise you will have too much access to administration of entire site, i can't allow that to happen, (you could delete users or puzzles, or change already checked scores, etc.).
i don't have plans to code this particular site further. instead, i will have a sg event part of my upcoming website, but i don't have that much free time to spend to code it, so it's going in pretty slow pace

Ah, I understand, guess I underestimated the amount of coding required to allow permissions. Good luck with the upcoming site then!

The 5-10 maximum euro price is the price with the sale or the game alone? There are games worth more than 10 but they are worth less than 10 with the sale

Will do this a bit differently as the vote is a big fail this time. Thanks to participants, you will get an email regarding a giveaway for participation in voting.

what's with the attitude? not everyone can be online / have time to do stuff here. real life things are more important than any event here. stuff happens, will come to this when i have enough time to make this work

I know right? Thats why I have solved less than half of your jigidis :)
I just wouldn't start event without prizes ready and functional site that doesn't need to be coded in the middle of event. Maybe that's why I don't do events like that. I'm not going to complain about wasted time - because I like jigsaws and I accepted the fact that I will be your test subject. But that long silence after event was over felt weird anyway.

ozo2003 did the exact same thing with the RAR decryption challenge the year before. Offered GTA V as a price, but in the end it just ran out in the sand and we got no final event or winners. Didn't even respond when asked about it on the steam group he made for the event.

It's a shame, because he makes interesting events, but then doesn't complete them.

It is not just that one that got no winner. Nothing ever happened out of this one either. I sense a pattern.
