So it finally happened. I might have gone insane in the last month, pushing hard for it... which kind of baffles me, because ... well that's a long story.

I joined Steamgifts to be a leech. That's most people so far as I know, and then something happens to us. We meet the people here, we hang out on the forums, and somehow over time, quite a few of us are affected by it. It may happen suddenly; it may happen slowly over time. A few really generous people show up and just give way more and that's just what they do. I didn't start that way. It's been a very interesting ride and it goes something like this.

Level 1 would get me access to more GAs. It only took one game.
Level 2 would do the same thing... Learned what bundled CV was.
Level 3-4: That was fun... Find some groups

Joined Several groups... the first group that took a chance on me was Touhou Giveaways! - All Hail Skynet Archibot!

Level 5 didn't take much more time. Neither did level 6 and 7 at the end of Nov. Though I was surprised that these achievements happened.

And then it was really and truly weird... Around December I came up on level 8 and decided I wasn't gonna try anymore.

Remember, I also wanted to be a leech

Level 9 showed up up at the end of January. I was committed to not trying to get to level 10.

Remember, I also wanted to be a leech

Then Level 10 this past Thursday or Friday of the third week of Febuary.

Somehow I went from wanting to leech to give away as much as I could and I can tell you my wallet hurts.

I've met a lot of awesome people here, made a lot of friends. Lost a few in the process too. Met some I'd like to get to know better, but schedules are weird things.
I can honestly still say that this is one of the most positive places on the internet I've ever patronized on a regular basis. Sure, we have some trouble-makers and trolls, and personalities that just don't quite get along, but that's just what life is.

Anyways, throughout all this, I've had some ups and downs and it's been very interesting. Don't worry, I'm not leaving... for good but I do need a break.
Just like many of the others who have taken one, I need one myself. I have personal issues I need to address both online and in the Real World.

Plus, I'm obviously a giving addict and I need to cut myself off from that for a bit, cause... I think my wallet is starving.

So, I've unsubscribed from all the GA threads in the various groups, and almost all my GAs have completed. A few need to be marked by lucky winners and one not so lucky winner who is in the hospital and I've spoken to personally. So, I'm leaving it there for when he can finally get out and go home. I will leave you with these last GAs, one of which really hurts as I want it, but this is my typical behavior and it's shared by most of the others here who are so generous. Give away what you want.... And I've given it once before, but to my brother-in-law.... >_<

I'd thank people for their time and make a list but, there are too many... And I'd miss someone... and then I'd feel bad. So to all of you, I thank you for being a part of this community with me. It's been a great experience one that I can't wait to get back to. Oh and I musn't forget the wonderful job Support does... putting up with all my tickets ;)


And now what you're really all here for anyways... THE GIBS!

Leave your blacklist Drama at the door :)

No Level Restriction:
Trap Them Deluxe Bundle
I can admit, I'm an addict, but my goal is to trap you here too....

Level 1
Sickness
Not quite yet.... You've only just begun

Level 2 - Gift Copy - Be prepared for Friend Request
Bad Rats: The Rats Revenge
Because honestly, everyone who is on SG needs a copy of Bad Rats

Level 3
Teddy Floppy Ear - The Race
At this point, it's still all fun and games

Level 4 - Gift Copy - Be prepared for Friend Request
BUTTS: The VR Experience
Cause they are like opinions, right?

Level 5
The Ball
Now it's really started rolling

Level 6 - Gift Copy - Be Prepared for Friend Request
My Name is Mayo
Cause everyone needs to click a Mayo Jar

Level 7
The Deed
It was around here that the Deed, or what had become the obsession, became apparent

Level 8
The Extinction
The Extinction of real life funds seriously kicks in here

Level 9
Devouring Stars
Devouring Stars? More like our wallets

Level 10
Sentinels of the Multiverse
Now that my wallet is empty, I'll just watch for a bit

Level 10 - Public
Fallout 4
Because Level 10s don't have everything... Heck, I don't even own this yet.... T_T So Painful

There's also a Blueheart GA out there :)

I should be back in a month or a month and a half. Though I am now a member of the 300P club, I'm still entered in some GAs and I'll check back from time to time to see if I won, but if you need me to mark something sooner, on the off chance that I win it, just message me on steam.

Should there have been a puzzle?

No time for puzzles!
How dare you leave without giving us the thing you promised!
Definitely not! So thankful there isn't one...
Yes!
.... you even ask?
Gotta click something, where is my tuber?!

Thank you for all the great giveaways until now and also for the ones which are going to follow in a few weeks!
Or are you going to return to finally be the leech that you set out to be? :P

There are millions out there who are currently fixing their lives, why shouldn't you be one of them?
I am certain you will be successful at it!

Bumpity-Bump!

Thanks, Menarok - Nah, I will probably never be able to truly leech. I either over do things in the generous, but I always feel bad even when I win things I want... :/

Thanks not just for all the games you've given but for the positive attitude you've brought to SG and all of the smiles you're responsible for. Good luck in your life, sincerely, and don't forget to come back so you can leech all those sweet L10 giveaways you've earned. :)

Some days it's hard to continue it, but it's a great place that helps allow people to be positive. I find the overall community here to be awesome, so that helps even if things in my day aren't going as well.
Don't worry, I'll be back... I hear cg does some nice level 10s sometimes :D

First you are not addicted. It took you many years to get to level 10 with the casual gifting ;)

Second, congrats again for reaching level 10 so much for the end of the year and this is what... Not even march yet?! Now you can play your wins and gifts to your hearts content! You will be missed from here until you return... Hell... I know we won't miss the puzzles ;)

Thanks for the fallout 4 and many other awesome (butt) gibs -- you rock as always! <3

Chicken, I can't really speak to the way you speak on here about casual gifting and the years... We both know better :D
Yeah, I remember saying if it happened in a year I'd be surprised... ffs, not even one...
Playing definitely is in the cards, I've got a huge backlog I need to work through...

Wait, level 10 is winning? XD
Actually it kind of is in a sense, I've done so many random 1 entry GAs in groups lately cause I just don't care about CV at all... I mean somewhere in the back of my head there is a little voice that says I could lose CV and go back to level 9, but I keep actually wanting that...
I mean how often do you hit level 10 twice! :D

But I want all the games! No more gibs from me! XD
