Since we're in July, how about some Christmas in July information for you? Did you know that Santa Claus is the patron saint of prostitutes? It is true. As Saint Nicholas, he was a rich bishop in third century Turkey. Knowing how the people were being severely taxed, he would drop bags of gold down people's chimneys using the cover of night to keep his actions secret. (Then, how do we know about that detail?) Back then, people would hang wet stockings by the fireplace for them to dry overnight. Somehow, these bags would land in the stockings people hung there. That is how this Christmas tradition got started.
During one day, he saw that a poor father could not afford to pay for the dowry of his three daughters. Back then, if a marriageable woman could not pay their dowry, their usually ended up going into prostitution. Not wanting this to happen, he dropped three bags of gold in his chimney to pay for their dowries. Thus, they were able to escape prostitution. That is why when he laughs, he goes, "Ho, Ho, Ho." (Last part is a joke.)

I knew most of those things about saint Nicholas,but I didn't know the girls he gave money to were forced into prostitution or that he is the patron saint of prostitutes. That's very interesting, thank you.

In order to get on your whitelist, I will post a poem I wrote when I was 8 years old...
Rain drops, rain drops...
Falling from the sky...
I saw two ducks - waddling by....
I said to myself, "They like the rain,"
"but to me, it's just a pain."
I'd like to go out and play with my friends...
I hope that this rain, soon ends.
Thank you! Thank you!

You know, when I was in elementary school, everyone hated rainy day because they couldn't go on the playground, but I loved them because that meant we would stay inside and play board games instead.

I was so tempted to post spiders. Here's a video I made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=As5BuAMdRvU

To prove my eligibility for your whitelist, a dad joke:
"Hey did you hear about the guy who got his whole left side cut off?"
"Oh, don't worry. He's all right now."

I will definitely get on your whitelist with this joke!
What's brown and sticky?

They might just not want the game. Horror games aren't everyone's thing. Sometimes I'll enter for games that are outside of my comfort zone and even end up liking them if I win, but that one safely looks like a pass to me (and I assume many on your whitelist, for one reason or another).

I didn't think of that, that's a possible reason. Because it's a whitelist giveaway for two points, I kinda assumed more people would enter it just because it's cheap and they have a good chance of winning.I didn't factor in that some people only enter ga's for games that they're gonna play, and for many, a crappy horror game is not something they care for.

You still owe me that eight cents.

" Fairy tales, then, are not responsible for producing in children fear, or any of the shapes of fear; fairy tales do not give the child the idea of the evil or the ugly; that is in the child already, because it is in the world already. Fairy tales do not give the child his first idea of bogey. What fairy tales give the child is his first clear idea of the possible defeat of bogey. The baby has known the dragon intimately ever since he had an imagination. What the fairy tale provides for him is a St. George to kill the dragon.
Exactly what the fairy tale does is this: it accustoms him for a series of clear pictures to the idea that these limitless terrors had a limit, that these shapeless enemies have enemies in the knights of God, that there is something in the universe more mystical than darkness, and stronger than strong fear."

Birds are really cool to be around. I remember fondly my pet parakeet, Aqua.

So I made a five game whitelist GA for despair, and only two people entered. This either means that the people on my whitelist don't check their group giveaways, or they already have the game. Considering that the game has been nine cents a couple of times, i don't doubt that a lot of them have it, but all but two? I don't think that's the case.
If you're one of the people on my whitelist that didn't know I made a GA, this is your announcement. If you're not on my whitelist but want to be, do something so that I might add you. I don't care what, write a poem, make a joke, post a cool video, write why you're so amazing, post an interesting article, put down a creepy story, anything, as long as it's not spiders. Seriously don't do that
As promised, Here is the train.[Ended, sorry you missed it!] GL!
Edit: I realize that a reason some people haven't entered is not because they don't check their group GAs or own they own they game, but simply because they aren't interested in winning this crappy game.
