considering you said this "Welcome to SteamPuzzles.com! Fuck these." in this post: http://www.steamgifts.com/forum/vz4z7/i-feel-that-there-is-something-hidden-in-this-message can we have a mod confirm that something is there?

Or, perhaps, that you're trying to be a prick about your hurt feelings over past puzzles and trying to make your point via overly confusing puzzle which lacks some vital piece of data to solve.

Haven't even tried, but you have been prone to raging against these. Perhaps you've had some rich, tasty ovaltine for breakfast today?

I can bitch about something, and still participate, can't I? I kind of felt it was therapeutic. Or maybe it was the ranting about "ZOMG DELL HATES PUZZLE, HERE DELL MAKES PUZZLE!" that was enjoyable. Whichever. Yes, the puzzle is complex, but it is a true puzzle. Not unbreakable. It harbors it's own clues. It isn't tailored to a specific genre or grouping of people. Unless you count Detectives as a grouping of people, or a genre. Then I'd say it tailors to them just a tad. But only due to the nature of it all. (That is not a clue.)

+1. If they don't screw up your billing info, and then begin calling your work with threats of credit-report harming collections, then you'll always have to worry about proprietary parts. Like a motherboard with power rails mixed up, so a 3rd-party PSU fries it. Or a mobo that won't allow for any real upgrades. Sure, you have the card and the slot for it...but good luck getting it to fit. Unless you want to ditch your RAM sticks. The Antichrist will be a marketing agent for Dell.

Personally, I loathe Dell, and their subsidiaries. The name is due to an old game (Shadowbane) from Ubisoft I used to play. They made it f2p, and then began running ads when you logged in. Then they ran ads when you would die and respawn. The first, and longest running ads, were for Dell PCs. It became a running joke that instead of "dying", you were going to receive a Dell PC. There were a slew of player names that had "death" in them, and I made a confessor (my first ever, as I began playing more debuffer roles), and thought "Dellmaker" would be a hilarious play on "Deathmaker". It was funny and relevant for about a month, until they changed the ads up and Nike sneakers became the new death-commercial. But by then, the name had stuck. And it was easier for people to pronounce/spell than "Raseac."

Can you at least have the decency to tell us what is the giveaway?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, as a matter of fact. Provided I catch notice of it, I'll be happy to. It gives me a reason to look through people's wishlists. Holy Christ on a pogo stick, fishpen...Are there ANY games left that you haven't....christ. The games on your wishlist must be, literally, the ONLY games left that you haven't gotten. You don't have a Library of Games...You have a kill list, and the games you're wishing for are the only ones you've yet to track down and murder. (oh hai, Morrowind! I wish I could just give you my copy. Haven't played it in a couple of years, but it's so damned fun. And it's not a Steam redeemable code, just an old-school CD key (came with a crapton of discs. Those were the days!)

Guys, Dellmaker has expressed his misguided disdain for puzzle gifts before. There is no giveaway.
Comment has been collapsed.
I did not even read your post. I have no interest at all in trying to win whatever game you claim to offer. I'm simply telling others to stop wasting their time. Your flagrant mockery of people who make puzzle gifts makes it pretty obvious.

THIS is a good sport. Which is surprising considering the source. There are puzzles, like the one I put up, and then there are "puzzles", like what seems to be the norm. The latter are not puzzles. Mine is more of a puzzle than them. You don't belong here, Cylix.

This is evil. I have half a dozen 3x5 cards in front of me trying to sort things out. I've found overlap in info on google between some of the clues, which may or may not have been intentional. I've tried about 50 solutions so far.

I've been pushed to the point quite literally slamming my forehead into my desk, well played, Dellmaker. Could you tell me if it is a game that I own or not before I continue abusing my remaining brain cells?

Captain Maggot, actually. One of Emilie's Bloody Crumpets :P

Viewing the database, Dellmaker does in fact have a private giveaway posted.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hey Dell, how long until the giveaway begins and ends? I'd love to give this puzzle a shot(It looks really good, especially since it's not just an excuse to exercise my google-fu but my actual mind) but I'm completely knackered tonight and can not concentrate. Also, if it would not inconvenience you, do I have the game?
Comment has been collapsed.
No trouble at all. You have the game. You are welcome to try to solve it, however, purely for sport. It does not begin for several hours, and runs for a day beyond that. Deathykins knows why.
(Almost forgot: nothing in this comment is a hint.)
Oh - but this could be a hint, I suppose: Denzi mentioned "google-fu". I can see that being used in order to educate yourself about Captain Midnight and wtf he's talking about. But that would only suffice for the first "door". The other four have their own keys.
Comment has been collapsed.
This is so extremely confusing @_@. I have been sitting here and trying to figure this out with Deathykins for a while now...I thought I figured out the first part but then I keep thinking this is a lot easier than I think it is..lol.
Still..Great puzzle man!!!!
Comment has been collapsed.
Alright, I'll apologize for this: I did not mean to infuse Deathykins into any sort of clue to solving the puzzle. I keep forgetting that when people have a hammer in their hands, everything looks like a nail. Deathykins merely knows my reasoning behind the deadline.

Posting as well for "do I have ze game" inspection.
Are all punctuation/grammar choices intentional?
e: groovy, good to know, etc. I'd complain about not being able to check as I go along, but that's where the fun in cryptography is to be had, eh eh
Comment has been collapsed.
Tiny has the game. You do not, heyytonytony. The punctuation/grammar of the title bears no weight towards the solution. It was actually intended to, but then I realized that the original puzzle would be more akin to the types of puzzles I bitch about. The second capitalization bears direct relevance towards the solution of the first "door". It was intended to be a generic hint, that would yield a light bulb over your head once you drew the correlation. The last capitalization doesn't have any relevance. I thought it did, but was looking at the notes from the original (scrapped) puzzle.
TL/DR: Tiny - has game. heyytonytony - doesn't have game. Only the "ASk" bears something to do with the first "door" solution. Any other punctuation, spelling, capitalization, etc., does not.

Hmmm... interesting puzzle! I like it. Don't know if I have the game (could you please confirm?) but I am going to (try to) solve it anyway, just for the fun of it! :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Me too. Don't want to make so much rage because if this a game which i have already had.
Comment has been collapsed.
Do I already have the game too? (probably do...) :(
Comment has been collapsed.

Edit: I think I figured 3 of the doors! Got sth for the 2nd and 3rd but not sure

Enjoy! I mean it - enjoy.
Five Doors.
The first allows entry only when you ASk Captain Midnight what the relevance of 19 is. If you don't, then he would only tell you "S"
The second allows entry when you recognize the importance of beginnings, and thus, it's name. Nevermind the ending, and it's name.
The third allows entry when you recognize the importance of endings, and thus, it's name. Nevermind the beginning, and it's name.
The fourth allows entry if one possesses a set of binoculars. Those binoculars possess the key. Without it, they are do not function.
The fifth, and last door, will only allow entry to astrophysicists. They are the ones who know the name of the rate. They multiply it, and multiply with it, and know the essence of All.
This was pretty easy to me, so you smart folk shouldn't have any trouble. Hint: Don't bother discussing it with each other. Solving this on your own ensures victory. Too many entries will result in the giveaway being cancelled or not gifted. This game is only for the Best of the besT.
