TL;DR: I will ask for a reroll if you win

I passed my CCNA certification exam - and I didn't have to pay for it myself!
So to celebrate I will share an IndieGale Flashpoint bundle and a couple other games with you.
I hope you enjoy :)

A few simple rules that have all been approved:

Congrats to you. I don't need to enter any of the giveaways cause I just plain don't want those games or have them.
Good luck finding a valid winner, especially there will always be idiots that never read.

Yeah, this could turn into a reroll-hell. If only people could be suspended for not reading rules...

Nice giveaways. I'm sure those rules will annoy a few people xD

Including the mods and myself when the hunt for legitimate entrants begin...

In all fairness, about 50 entrants so far only entered once. I didn't check up on the other rules though :)

There are still pretty good chances for winning some of these if you fit the rules.

At least 8 of the giveaways have no qualifying entrants yet!

Thanks to everybody who follows the rules :)

I can't help but complain about all the people who don't follow the rules though. I really wish there were something that could be done about it.

I have had a little chat with a moderator, and unfortunately blatantly ignoring rules in giveaways is not grounds for a suspension. I was given permission though to mention some of the idiots - so I will try to see if it makes me feel better to list them here.

EmoryM has 11 entries, 9 wins and 230 games.
5ilen entered 8 giveaways, has 74 previous wins and 275 games in their account.
Porrete69 has 8 entries.
Rendolf has 8 entries, 174 wins and 298 games.
Torchbearer has entered 7 giveaways, 124 wins and 465 games.
charlyglamour85 has already won 20 games in SG and has 166 games.
fanhiphop has 22 previous wins.

One thing is people not bothering to read rules - they're annoying and as I said I wish they would be suspended. But people who enter because they don't think the rules are fair are much worse. "Have you had the rules approved by the mods? If not you'll have to give me the game if I win!" people ask. Really? Does it matter? It's my game to give away so I set the rules. I think it's very disrespectful to demand games like that. Besides - the site really can't force anyone to give a game to someone who's been an asshole.

My giveaways are littered with the same attitude. All it takes is simple reading and comprehension, but some lack that.

I won't be entering your giveaways as rule 1 and 2 pertain to me.

Smart to do it before 200-120 became mandatory and the 640-802 was retired yesterday.

Yes that's why I did it now. Might as well take the best odds possible and do the test while they're using the material I studied with ;)

Congrats on getting your certification...I was never quite sure what it does...now you can be a network admin?
Unfortunately, what with all my humble bundle games, I can't enter, but it is a cool ideas for the giveaways, I guess, everyone who does enter gets good chances.

Well, the certificate makes it more plausible when I claim to know something about Cisco stuff; so hopefully it makes me look better in a job situation, giving me a slight edge over others who don't have a certificate to add to their CV - and I'll try to make it show in my salary too of course :)

Also I think Cisco partners get better discount deals the more certified employees they have, but I don't know the details about this.

Congrats man. I can not enter any of your giveaways though due to my steam account has over the limit for games :P Interesting idea though. Sadly I think you will end up with a lot of alt accounts entering it. I am sure there are a few people who are genuine with their entries though, so hope one of those people win.

I can't do much about alt accounts so I'm not gonna worry about them. There will always be assholes trying to cheat any system. With the rules I try to give the games to someone who doesn't have a lot of games already, and I hope like you say that the genuine entries win :)

Oh boy, I hope rerolling isn't too difficult. Also, it looks like 3 of the giveaways are going to be deleted?

4 to be deleted.
3 of the giveaways ended with a qualified winner, the rest need some work :)

If you only enter Afterfall then I'd say your winning chances are looking good :)

I got a little worried after buying this weeks Humble Weekly Bundle, but I'm pretty sure I'm in the clear!

That's right, you're not getting Street Fighter X Tekken.
Next time read the rules - if you had not entered the other 5 giveaways you would have actually gotten the game.

All the re-rolls remind me of some of my own giveaways. Four re-rolls to find a winner, anyone?

I dunno why you decided to limit the number of games in one's Steam account, though. That was odd. Some Steam users have been around for ten years which makes it unlikely they would be able to enter.

Perhaps the target of my giveaways weren't 10-year anniversary steam users...

There's a lot of re-rolling going on; more than I expected because I overestimated the system. I thought I could provide a list of valid entries and then the mod who got to it could re-roll until a valid winner had been found. It's not so, though, I have to request a new re-roll each time until a valid winner is randomly selected. So it's taken a bit longer and a bit more work than I had foreseen...

It's almost over. 5 giveaways were deleted because there were no valid entries, 6 gifts (or keys) have been sent (1 awaiting received-confirmation), and the last three are waiting for the winners to get online.

26 re-rolls were requested. Dead Island Riptide turned out to be the hardest one with 5 winners being disqualified (I hope you really wanted that game, idiots!), but finally it went to Larvock who has clocked more than 50 hours in the first game and played 13 hours during the free weekend - I'd call that a happy ending :)

TokimeKatoji won 3 games when the giveaways first ended, and thought it was awesome - until I told them all the giveaways would be rerolled.
arsyi caused a total of 5 re-rolls; straplynkz caused 3; iNvidiousPanda and Wockets caused 2 while charlyglamour85, CheKosta, Kestutis, Killdazzen, KuroiArt, morbhius, orcdog, PraX, s0rk2a, Torchbearer and Zuhnamer each celebrated a single win - just to see it get re-rolled!
