Each phase is like a completely different puzzle event in itself. Which was your Favorite??
How could you be so cruel?! Praising Bundlelicious so much throughout the whole event while also having this line in your post!
"Please NOTE: This is not a recruitment thread! We will not be recruiting until 2018"
Bump for solving everything ;D

All keys sent, all except one received as of this moment in time....
Some stats of 70 games sent;
Thank you's: 37 made the effort and 33 couldn't be bothered - even when they won more than one game from me in these trains - there were 9 of those that won 2, 3 and even 4 games from me that couldn't take the five seconds to post a thank on at least one of those GA's. Since I was participating voluntarily in a group's event of which I am not a member of, I am not blacklisting anyone for not saying thank-you - unless your ratio also met my blacklist requirements.
Won/sent ratio: 33 winners (of which some won 2, 3 or 4 games) had, what I consider to be, horrible ratios - like 200 Won/30 Sent. Of those 33 games, 20 game winners failed to say thank you. Those 8 individual winners joined my blacklist.
Manners matter. This world is not made better by winning something and failing to take the literal few seconds it takes to write/say thank-you. I put hours into creating these trains and sending out the keys. I also put some of my money into it as well. In this case, if you are also one of those people who I consider a leech (no matter what your "explanation of circumstance" is), failing to say thank you earned you a spot on my blacklist.
Finally, I want to send out huge thanks to the Bundlelicious group, the other train creators and especially JeffHowe, for the absolutely fun and solvable puzzling event!

Thank you Momo1991 for your stats... it goes to show that many could use some work on being appreciative.
Manners do matter... and reading through this thread there are several that set such and excellent example of appreciation being expressed. So many expressed kindness to me for taking the obvious amount of time that it took to design the puzzles and put it all into an event. (I estimate around 300 hours-- the GAs (270+) weren't my gift to everyone as much as designing the whole thing.) You were one of those that absolutely touched me with your kind words, your enthusiasm for the event, and your enjoyment of everything and your exceptional appreciation!
Several that won games from me I recognized as interacting with them during the event... whether it was help/hint giving, or kind words, or even just comments saying they passed certain phases and on GAs during saying they made it...
BUT, there were several names that I didn't recall a single "I made it to this GA! YAY!" or "Thanks" or "Phase 3 done..." or ANYTHING at all. THAT is when I get sad. I do these events to have interaction and to see each solver go through the whole event and EXPERIENCE it all together. When they are altogether silent-- they are only hurting themselves. It is FUN to share your excitement while conquering parts... and really we have to scratch our heads and say--- did they really solve it? Or somehow got access to the GAs another way? We just have to trust them on that.
I think that the silent ones may be those who have ratios where they have won much more than given... and thus are afraid to say something because they maybe feel bad... but, please DONT feel bad-- we all have different abilities of what we can give or afford etc... don't let that hold you back from chatting, interacting etc... I have an empty blacklist and will always have an empty blacklist... so don't worry about that.
The best way we can help those who can work on their manners is by example...
However, I will continue to dedicate time, energy, and resources on creating events for SG because there are SOOOO many of you that make the effort soooooooooooooooo worth it. Your thanks, your excitement, your kindnesses, and support are so valuable to me especially at this time in my life.
Love to you Momo1991! Thanks again for the trains, the hype, the everything about you!

Firstly, let me thank you again for all the amazing puzzles - I know they take an enormous amount of time to envision and create so thank you for your amazing creativity and for your care in making them accessible for everyone. That alone is worth special mention since many puzzle creators don't take that into account.
Secondly, I only brought up the "commentary" since it saddens me that so many think so little of contributors to this event and well SG in general that they can't take a few precious seconds of their life to say thank-you to those that gift to them... it seems small to be angry at the lack of manners but then in the grand scheme of things, being civilized is the key part of what makes us human. All else is just savagery and anialmalistic... is that what we truly intend to be? Selfish animals intent on our own wins?
Anyway, thank you for your humanity and sense of humor and wit, Jefff... you embody the best of us!

I won like 7-8 games through this whole event. Marked all of them complete.
Had a really great time completing all the puzzles and then going back again and again to check if other stuff has been added. It was a fun ride through and through.
Thanks a lot for all the train donors. Without them this event would have been nothing what it was.

An other great event has ended! Thanks again Jeff for your hardwork to make SG puzzle section such a great place!
Also a big thanks to the contributors that helped this event to have this huge success too.
I also totally agree for the thank you part! Since puzzle section is a place where people work to offer great puzzles to the community (some easiest than others) giving a thank when you win must be something normal because it's more than just a thank for the game i just won. It's also a thank for the fun you gave us, thanks to be an active part of this community by putting so much time in it, thanks to many litle things that are more than just having one more game to play. I don't even know how many I won this event and honestly I don't really care since it's not really what matters.

Next Event in the making! Please help in designing it!
Next Bundlelicious Puzzle event will be December!
Welcome to the first ever Bundlelicious Summer Puzzle Event for Steamgifts!
Please NOTE: This is not a recruitment thread! We will not be recruiting until 2018
For those that don't know, Bundlelicious is one of the first bundle giveaway groups on Steamgifts.
We have had 10's of thousands of successful bundle giveaways by our members, which is our specialty!
We also organize dozens of gaming events & challenges every year, and now, as of 2017, we are featuring monthly puzzle events!
But now you don't have to be a member to join in the fun!
Introducing the first ever Bundlelicious Summer Puzzle Event for Steamgifts!
These puzzles are open to everyone on Steamgifts!! The Giveaways Require a Level 1+ on SG!
But don't worry, getting to level 1 is EASY (to get level 1 you just need to have given only ONE game on SG) and you have all month to level up and get your boarding passes! (Note: very few GAs in the event are of a higher level than 1+... this event is to encourage as many as possible to join!)
Our puzzle master has created a series of Interlocking puzzles! Solve them and you will get access to giveaway trains!
So let's get started with the fun stuff!
There are 5 phases of this puzzle event. After solving each phase of this event you will get a passcode-- thus 5 passcodes. Submitting two passcodes of the 5 will get you on a train for those that have conquered two of the phases, and likewise for 3 solved, 4 solved and all 5 solved for a total of 4 potential trains to win access to GAs!
NOTE: Each phase is a totally different puzzle event and can be solved in ANY order. The first two phases are one event split in half. If you are having problem with one phase then try another as each are separate events within themselves!! GOOD LUCK and have fun! Don't hesitate to ask for hints or help if necessary!
