In my one month here, I've noticed a few community traditions so to say. With this thread, I'll try to adapt to each of them in order to become a potato true steamgifter!
Read the full thread to find my hidden birthday giveaway/puzzle. Skip if you're a botato. Hint: It's not hidden.

Here's my list:

  • Gift a crappy bundle game ✓
  • Win a crappy bundle game ✓
  • Make excessive use of Comment Formatting ✓
  • Potato a potato ✓
  • Post a cute cat gif ✓
  • Make a thread just about you ✓
  • Add an almost-unrelated poll ✓
  • Add an invite-only giveaway ✓
  • Make it a mandatory birthday giveaway ✓
  • Add Level 1 restrictions to scare away bots ✓
  • Add an ITH puzzle to scare away leechers ✓ Hints appear after 60mins. Makes Q5 much easier.
  • Win a game right after creating a giveaway ✓
  • Create a whitelist. ✓
  • Win three games on a single day. ✓ Does good giveaway karma exist?
  • Gift Bad Rats
  • Never win Bad Rats

... more to follow.

Did I say birthday giveaway? Yes, I'll be getting 1200 weeks old in 20 days.

That said, you may congratulate me in 20 days.
I'll add you to my whitelist if you do.
I'll add you to my blacklist if you do too early. Har har.

tl;dr
Spoilers are fun, because they force people's curiosity to read stuff they don't want to and will regret having wasted time on doing so. tl;dr: the tl;dr is a lie.

Also, why's there no welcome or birthday section?

Stuck on Q4 and Q5. Waiting for the hint on 5, I know what 4 is, but not sure which term exactly is needed. I'll get to it eventually. :P

Edit: Solved Q4. XD

I know the answer to Q4, in general, but I'm just not getting the exact wording ;) Still, thanks for the puzzle! I always enjoy them (unless they're totally impossible, of course) ;D

Definitely! Yesterday I saw the answer for an ITH that I did a couple of weeks ago, and absolutely did a face-palm! lol~ Still, I was happy to know the answer :D

You might want to play around with the wording on Q4. It's pretty obvious to those who're familiar with the term.

Q4/Q5.

Q4: tried lingo, correct terms, etc... nothing works.

Q5: Tried with/without spaces and several versions. Title name, Shortened Title name, Nickname, real name and official name; none worked.

Try it later again. Sometimes the solution/correct wording/version is just a matter of typos or style errors.

Try everything I can lolz. maybe I don't know what Avi means? Since it took me multiple google search to understand What 420 is.
Even checking out your avatar via google search but no avail.

Happy birthday! (I love fishing for blacklists. It's relaxing.)

BTW, I'm definitely not a true steamgifter, by this list. I fail on most counts. I did potato a potato though, that's probably the most important. And llama'ed a pineapple.

Hmmm, now that I think of it, I think I posted a cat picture once. And I did give Bad Rats recently. So maybe it's not as bad as I thought.

Oh, the little narc is trying to lure is into a sense of security by adding a e to the name... but Q4 gave him away... ;-) Already have the games... Eh... I mean... I don't even know how to get there ;-)

Hm, now I just have to remember to come back in 19 days to say the magic words...

Are you certain we know each other? I'm not certain... I just made a vague drugs/nickname joke... you seem slightly familiar, but that might just be from the forum or just cause I know your avatar or something?

Well, on various other communities I'm using the account name "Narcotic", and people call me "narc". Also they often do references to my name, just like you.

Really can't get the last, the fifth question... I know what is 420 and so on, but i don't see any relations with it..

Where's the GoG sales option? Their holiday sales are my absolute favorite.

Also this puzzle is KILLING ME. Question 3 isn't working but I know the answer and question 5 confuses me because I don't know what an avi is.

EDIT: Nevermind I got 3 to work. Still don't know what an avi is yet.

avi = avatar

Thought it's a known abbreviation. I'll change it as you weren't the first who asked.
