Ended! Keys have been sent out.

Keeping track of all the users that
have done something which would put them on my blacklist IS WAY TOO HARD! It would be
lovely if some of you could give me a reason why I should add you to my blacklist. I currently only have
7 SG users on it. That is not enough obviously!
Please give me valid reasons only...
xarabas is the perfect example of a SG user that I have on my blacklist!
Can you believe that the guy is still allowed to use this site? The support told me he has been reported
0 (!!!!) times so far! None of you reported him! I'm utterly disappointed...

Update: It's now easier to get on my blacklist. ;) (slightly, just a tiny bit, you can ask for more help)

More hints:
Q1: -per (Read the hint on the puzzle page first)
Q1: Here, have the original image that you can compare the file details to. (What has changed? ;) )
Q1: Try to open the image with a program that fits the previous hints and the contents of the image.
Q2: Look for where the image was taken from.
Q3: The answer is hidden in the image. (Edit: The answer only contains numbers, since someone who solved it had problems with that.)
Q3: It's hidden in one of the two black sections of the image.
Q4: You will find the bottom right image if you follow the other 2.
Q5: The answer is the name of the game that you have to find.

NO NEW HINTS WILL BE GIVEN! Good luck! :)

Solution:

  1. http://www.itstoohard.com/puzzle/Khl7PxC0 The first letter or number of each line in my blacklist text.

Question 1:
Download the image and open it with a program like 7-Zip.
A .zip file with a text document that contains the answer is hidden in the image.

Question 2:
You just had to name the game! (Shogun: Total War or Shogun Total War)
You could have used the "search by image" feature in Google that pops up when you search for the image URL.

Question 3:
A secret code has been hidden in the image.
You have to use a program like Photoshop or even online image editors like sumopaint work.
In sumopaint (mentioning this one since it is free) you can open the image and applying "Adjustments -> Equalize Tones" already shows the code.
Example
You can ofc. try different ways to be able to better read the code.

Question 4:
The answer is "Comatosed".
You have to go to Steam -> My profile -> It's my featured badge.

Question 5:
The answer is "Mortal Kombat X".
http://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/jc8iu/ The discussion id is in the top left of the image.
It leads you to the train that I recently created.
Mortal Kombat X is the second game in the train. (bottom right: 2nd)

Blacklist me. I have too many games and no time to play them. I should be on more blacklists so I don't take wins from people with time for them.

I also bribe the mods with bundle games.

That's nothing. I bribe the mods with keys for games that some website is giving out for free after I dropped them in a forum post for the ninjas to make sure that they are already used.

Hating Nutella is actually the way to go. It's made with plastic, palm oil and other cancerrous stuff. Not to mention the absolutely insane amount of sugar...

That's just bad PR from overseas competitor companies, here in Italy (its country of origin) saying such things without proofs on TV or on papers is illegal. The list of ingredients is long and detailed, everything in the recipe is listed, no plastic, nothing cancerous, just plain unhealthy.

I don't eat Nutella, not because I'm scared of getting cancer from it, simply because I don't want to get fat! Palm oil and refined sugar are unhealthy, everyone knows that, too bad they are almost in every sweet or snack from the big industry.

Nutella is just another product among thousands of others that everyone trying to live an healthy life should avoid.

You're wrong. That's not bad PR, that's the truth, and there are proofs. Nutella and other KInder products contain phthalates, amongst which is the most popular of them all, DEHP. Next time check your facts...

http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2015/03/03/nutella_s_say_it_with_nutella_viral_marketing_campaign_what_we_can_learn.html

Palm oil is an ingredient in Nutella whose harvest threatens the natural habitats of orangutans in Indonesia; phthalates and bisphenols are endocrine-disrupting chemicals commonly found in plastic packaging.

DEHP? i dont want DEHP in my food ! besides it would make a great name for some kind of drugs though, so i believe DEHP should be banned from future use, and its name freed so i can invent a drug and name it DEHP.

dehp

no seriously it sounds amazing.

DEHLP. DEHP. yeah even DEHLP sounds good enough, imo. might try to snatch that one instead.

Are you serious man? I'm asking cos it seems to me that you are confused. So, apart from the fact that Nutella is a Ferrero product, where are the proofs of your claims? Who is stating that Nutella causes cancer?

You are linking a blog! That's not a valid source for proofs in any way or shape! Not in the academic world that I'm used to, maybe in your fairy world, who knows.
But hey, this is the internet right? Everyone is entitled to his opinion here, even who wears a tin foil hat.

Anyway, all I saw in this blog was a rant about palm oil and some other very common ingredients used in the food industry. As I said in my previous message palm oil is bad! But its also used everywhere! Even at our university canteen they are using it to feed around 65k students, are they gonna die tomorrow? No, but the fries will surely take longer to digest.

And this totally unrelated quote about the habitat of some orangutans what has to do with the initial topic?
Follow my friendly advice, don't make a culture reading random blogs on the Internet, go to the library instead and feed your brain with hard based informations.

Not really, I've no interest in changing anyone's mind.
I was just astonished by the heavy words used in his first post to describe a product no different from many others...

Nutella is unhealthy, it contains palm oil, it makes you fat and and the ladies will surely avoid you if you eat too much of it, but there is a big difference from being unhealthy and carcinogenic.

If Nostra is a fiery supporter of an healthy life style why name & shame a single unhealthy product? That's usually what competitor companies do, if you really care about your health you should condemn every snack and sweet on sale around the world. If I were you i wouldn't trust even small artisan patisserie, only home made sweets made with your chosen ingredients are "safe".

Anyway, I've nothing against Nostra, he look's like a person concerned about his food, that's good but he shouldn't mix his concern with biased blogs and "food industry politics".

Research conducted on it was by a french laboratory and this is the only english info I was able to find. If you can read french though, I'd be more than willing to give you all the information you need. Also I didn't pay attention it was from a blog, I thought Slate was reliable enough. You're the one who said palm oil was bad for your health, I didn't, hence the "unrelated note" (which is actually destroying wildlife, but same goes for bananas and others). Palm oil isn't that bad for human consumption.

Oh, by the way, it's all about Kinder products, not Ferrero. Kinder Maxi, Pingu, Nutella, etc.

That's the problem, if a product is truly carcinogenic you will be able to find informations about it in authoritative scientific publications, not one site wrote only in french.
Yes, I said palm oil is bad because there are way more healthy oils, but of course they cost more and will not be used as widely as they should. At home I only use Tuscany made extra virgin olive oil, possibly home made by a friend, why? Because even if it costs more its way better than other oils.

Again, Nutella IS a Ferrero product! Kinder is just a brand line. -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrero_SpA

Why all this hate for this single company? That's what looks fishy about your posts.

Yeah look, I know about that. Kinder is a brandline of Ferrero, we all know it, but the recipe for the chocolate used in both Nutella and other Kinder products are the ones concerned, once again and I hope for the last fucking time.

I was able to trace back the evidence: Sofia Labs in Berlin and Galab Labs in Hamburg. Tests were conducted for a TV report from the french-german channel Arte. Ferrero acknowledged the presence of phtalates in its products but minimized its toxicity.
http://www.rtbf.be/info/societe/detail_le-nutella-une-nouvelle-fois-mis-en-cause-mauvais-pour-la-sante?id=5015253

Part 1 of the report: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Fw8pyv9eu8

Now, I'm done here. See it as fishy if you will even though Ferrero admitted it, or jump in front of a train if you prefer, I couldn't care less.

Hey man, you are pretty salty to be the one that "couldn't care less". You should try some anger management techniques, I'm saying it for your own good ;-)

I'm not gonna waste my time reading a random 5 year old article in FRENCH or watching a video in (again) FRENCH just to make you happy. If these are the only proofs supporting your claims then you better go back to your lair buddy, until some solid articles (in english possibly) from a worldwide independent and trusted source shows up, you are just a windbag.

Oh and since you seem to like the french language so much, you know what other big company speaks french? Nestlé.
Yes, the the largest food company in the world has his HQ in the French-speaking Switzerland. Perhaps it is no coincidence considering that Nestlé and Ferrero are competitors...

Anyway, this discussion has become ridiculous, I'm not even eating Ferrero products for fuck's sake! We are both done here, but unlike you, I'm gonna wish you love, peace, and happiness in everything you do as you journey through life.
