So...
My 1st cake day is finally here!
Seems like yesterday that i started to buy bundles and decided that it would be fun for me to giveaway some of the games I didn't want. Of course, trying to win back some that I wanted.

I had none of these "SG/reddit/internet" knowledge, so I had to learn what "cake day", "irl", "tl:dr" meant
Had the most fun discovering some of creative puzzles the community creates. The dungeons!!(grez, garando...) The Community train! The Christmas events!
The Jigidis!! You guys made me, go back in time and use my computer to play a simple puzzle, like I am on windows 98 with a "paint" and a "solitaire"! My wife constantly looking and saying what the hell is wrong with me doing a stupid 300 piece puzzle instead of playing those resident evil games that i was always playing :)
That community train with games from "A" to "Z"!
So many good events and such a great community! So many good internet people I met, just when I thought that the internet was full of idiots :)

It was a great SG year for me! Still have a lot to learn on this site, but if you are new to the site I will leave you some tips:

  • Blacklists are not avoidable! You will get them! You can't be loved by everyone! Don't worry! People blacklist for their reasons, just like you "blacklist" people IRL for your own reasons! Or you give away Christmas presents to everyone at your work? Do you give away a Christmas present to Mark from accounting even though you don't like him because one time he stole your parking spot? Or you give Karen the receptionist a gift even though she is sleeping with Mark??? People gift to whoever they want :)
  • Never open a topic about blacklists unless you want more of them :)
  • 90% of people don't want your "thank u" when they create a giveaway! Avoid that!
  • 95% of people DO WANT your thank you when you win something! Be grateful!
  • If you have nothing good to say... just don't say it... mostly... nobody cares!
  • you are allowed to have an opinion, but don't forget that the rest of the world is allowed to have opinions to :)
  • install ESGST and discover a new SG world! Play with the options
  • Don't bring up any trading matters
  • Don't beg!
  • Avoid blacklists by not posting 10 currently free games! People don't like that! You want to do that because you feel you are doing nothing wrong? Do it!!you are really not doing anything wrong! You are allowed to give away what you want. Just be prepared to be flamed.
  • Be nice to people, how hard can that be? Really...

There are a lot more rules, which I have no time to write now :(. I invite you all to add some secret "rules", in the comment section, that you can teach the new users, things your learned by yourself! Maybe I learn something new for the following years ahead of me!

Thank you SG for this year full of fun and happiness! Thank you all the good users!

Ohhh! Arwiee!! where are your obligatory giveaways???????
I have lots of them prepared, I will shameless self bump this thread in about 8 hours, right now I have to go work, and have not time to create them!
Make sure you check it later! I will probably change the title to a "updated" tag!

[EDIT]

Like Promised! A rain of leftovers, hope you find something for you!

my wife just gets near when I have like 20 pieces left.... Tells me something like "that one fits in there!!!", and as soon as I finish the puzzle, she yells "I HELPED YOU!!"

Haha Sounds like my sister!

We play co-op games and I'm like "ok you take enemies coming from the right and I cover the left" and then she mostly runs around while I take everyone and then she kills that one last goblin coming from the right while I'm busy trying to take down 20 she let through and she goes "Cover your side!!"
An issue that doesn't happen with my lady who is taking everyone down before I had a chance to say Boo. But then Portuguese women are all fire, we both know that right? ;)

Man, I was just typing how Fluffster is lucky and that I didn't think my gf, altough being amazing in many things, would never help me with it. But after your story I could certainly see she doing something like that! I'll show her what I'm doing in a non holiday waiting for me to whatch a movie situation.

I'll take a look at the yet-to-be created GAs tomorrow afternoon. Because I'll be going to sleep in ~ 5.5h, then work and commuting back home... should amount to about 24h from now.

Happy cake day!

just like you "blacklist" people IRL for your own reasons! Or you give away Christmas presents to everyone at your work? Do you give away a Christmas present to Mark from accounting even though you don't like him because one time he stole your parking spot? Or you give Karen the receptionist a gift even though she is sleeping with Mark??? People gift to whoever they want :)

I respectfully disagree with your analogy (well knowing that it'll probably trigger more blacklists). While I agree that it makes sense that people gift to whoever they want, explicitly blacklisting people is not what your analogy specifies.

To make your analogy correct, you would be creating a lottery for random Christmas gifts at your workplace, but you made sure that person X and Y are not allowed to participate because you personally don't like them. Suffice to say, it is then up to your workplace whether they think this is a reasonable practice. Here, SG is the "workplace", and SG decided that it is ok to have a blacklist.

If I decided to make a random drawing for a gift at my own workplace, I'm pretty sure society norms would tell me that it is in my own interest to not go around excluding people - even though there are clearly some of them I dislike. I'm not saying that your opinion is bad, just that your analogy is.

If you want to gift to specific people you like - which your original analogy is actually closer to, because who do you gift Christmas gifts in the first place? Obviously people you specifically like (opposed to strangers) - this is exactly what the whitelist is for.

EDIT: Just noticed that you mentioned giveaways later, so thanks in advance for those! Hope I don't get blacklisted beforehand 😄

My bad English, makes anologies be bad!! 🤣🤣. I see all Giveaways as a private raffle on my workplace(SG), that means I can "sell" tickets to whoever I want :).
I do understand your point of view, I just don't agree with it :) maybe because we see this website with different eyes, nothing wrong with that.
Nothing wrong with your opinion, as long as you are being respectful I don't think or opinion deserves a blacklist! Unless you put pineapple on pizza... If you do that... You deserve a big blacklist!! 😜

Just wait until you see the most impressive assortment of types of sweet/fruity/etc pizza you can find in Brazil, ranging from chocolate to more kinds of fruit than I can count to others I can't even remember. If you think pineapple pizza is bad, I think you'll be horrified! ;)

Don't do that on your cake day, though; it's a bad day to be horrified. Happy cake day!
