Bump for succesfully passing the new difficult puzzle with my newly written script
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, about that... :) Some idiot tried to set the hint timer for 60 minutes, and instead chose 60 hours... Oops. :( And they can't figure out how to change it. Sigh. :) Maybe I should just tell everyone... :)

AI module updated. Successfully circumvented fifty's countermeasures.
Err, I meant... bump. :)

Thank you too! :) And did you try the new puzzle? :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Aye, I tried, but none of my creative (or less creative) answers seemed to please the Anti-Bot gods :3
Then I saw the hint... DUN DUN DUUUUN!!! :D
So have a Cat-Bot :3 Because some bots are just too cute to not love them ^^

Someone's got to give away all this bundle leftover crap... :)

Congratulations! :) But I wonder if I should just tell everyone the answer, since the hint timer's been set for 60 hours... :( Oops... :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Going to get me some coffee to wait out the 60 hours to come. Non-solver here. ^^

hmmm, tactical bump, I see what you just did :D
I'd better stop bumping or I won't be able to win some gibs D:D
Comment has been collapsed.
Oops, sorry... :) But maybe people don't like free stuff any more, so they leave it alone... :)

I saw a (scripted) dragon! and hope payment process will be finished. :)

I had to email them asking hey, where's my key man? A whole day later is a lot of processing... Maybe they had a power outage, and the hamster wheel backup power system didn't work because the hamster fell asleep or died or something...

I just wait for other people to find the good games in all the mess anyways.
Comment has been collapsed.
But it's a pretty big mess... :) I'm not sure we will be able to see the good games through one million renamed copies of identical broken junk... :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Sorry, check the topic again, some fool screwed up with the hint timer... :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I couldn't find a way to change that timer, so I added a hint to this topic in the Steamgifts forum, the one we are currently reading... Right below the link to the second "puzzle"... Good luck! :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Copy and paste what? I've tried so many things D:
I suppose it's not impossible, since a lot of people have solved it. Alas.
Comment has been collapsed.
Maybe take another look at the "puzzle", I put the hint somewhere everyone can see it... And if you're thinking at all, you're thinking too much... :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh. Well. That was easy.
Thanks for catering to my ignorance <3
And welcome to the whitelist!
Comment has been collapsed.
It was always meant to be easy, just a way to keep the bots out... Except I screwed it up... Oh well. :)
Oh, you probably don't want to do that, I'm a big jerk, but thank you until you notice... :)
Comment has been collapsed.
In the difficult puzzle.. how complex the answer? Cuz english language not my native, i hope it's not difficult sentence, right? :)
Comment has been collapsed.
It isn't a real puzzle, but I screwed up the hint timer, sorry! So check the topic again, it should help... :)
Comment has been collapsed.
thanks for fun :)
and i think steam direct, well... it's still not working well, maybe it will change in long run as devs can't sell their shit cards so easy now
Comment has been collapsed.
But a cheap +1 is still a cheap +1, so I don't think you will be able to stop them, even by removing the trading cards... :(
Comment has been collapsed.
I tried, but couldn't find any way to do it... :( So I added a hint to the topic, sorry! :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I would like to point out that your puzzle is broken. I tried entering the word "pancakes" in multiple languages, but it was not accepted. Obviously, something has gone very wrong.
Comment has been collapsed.
Aha, sorry about that! :)
And in addition to the lack of pancakes there was the unintentional 60-hour hint timer which would make for very dry pancakes when you did finally get your hands on them... :( Sorry about that! :) But there's a new hint in the topic, in case you want to try again... :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Have another bump, for solved but with your humane hint! ^^

Thank you! :-)
October is nigh as is the very long awaited bot purge.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you Khalaq and English will never be my best language.
Comment has been collapsed.
Haven't heard any screaming yet, hope I didn't miss the fun... I'm going to be disappointed if nobody's complaining about being suspended... :)
Comment has been collapsed.
That will depend, imho, on the quantity of the really smart ones who will make some of those BL magnet threads. :-)
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmm, did I miss anything? Haven't seen anyone complaining about being suspended yet... Sigh...
Maybe the punishment is something sneaky like a month of you can still enter giveaways, but can't actually win anything... :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I was thinking the very same.
Possibilities are that auto joiners are too smart to post about them being caught or that they have turned of their scripts. Or maybe the purge hasn't started yet.
Comment has been collapsed.
There should be at least one person complaining in this group, since last time people got suspended for bots a few went there to argue or whatever... :)
So it looks like there's been nothing yet... :( Have to admit being a bit disappointed, wonder if I mis-read the announcement... Oh well...
Comment has been collapsed.
Secondly, starting October, I am going to start assigning suspensions to users that are using these scripts.
Looks like it will be during the month of October and not the start of October...
Comment has been collapsed.
Aha, thank you, so I was just assuming everything would happen on the first of the month... Still hoping to hear something soon, though... :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Another possibility could be that Cg is for the moment busy collecting script users data, since the start of October, and that punishment will follow after that. :-)

I have to assume Valve are judging things via different criteria than we are, since as bad as Greenlight was, Steam Direct is just worse... :(
And they do seem to have an aversion to using humans for anything - it's always "how can we automate this?"
Hmm, so maybe we can all enter our credit card information into Steam, and let Valve automatically charge a random amount each week, just for funsies... They wouldn't even need to give us a game in return. Sounds like a plan!

I must be retarded (or a bot for that matter) because I don't get it.
Probably doesn't help that I don't know what people usually do for SG puzzles.

If you answer the question on the "ItsTooHard" page correctly, the background to the text field should turn green. If it goes red, the answer you gave didn't match up with the list of acceptable ones (and this really shouldn't be a confusing one).
The links to the giveaways should appear below it. You may need to scroll down to see it, below some additional text revealed when you answer the question.
Comment has been collapsed.
No i mean.. I took way too long figuring out the answers.. But at least I got it in the end >.<
Comment has been collapsed.
Usually, in "real" puzzles, you have to figure out what the answer is to a bunch of dumb questions, and when you answer every question correctly you get a link to the giveaway(s) - but since this isn't a "real" puzzle, umm, you wait until I notice the giveaway timer's broken and fix it, or just get lucky basically... :)
These "puzzles" were just to keep some stinky bot user from blindly following giveaway links to get free stuff... :) I don't make real puzzles any more... :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, I actually put it in the correct category this time, i.e. FREE STUFF INSIDE, CLICK HERE. You're welcome. :)
There's another puzzle added, so look around for it. It's in here somewhere... Umm, try reading or something. That link you didn't click on yet? Yeah, it's probably that one.
Hey, the weekend's coming. And I have no plans, but after reading the amazing topic I couldn't resist throwing some money away on random Level 5 humans to celebrate. Yay! :) You can imagine I pasted a bunch of celebration-related gifs in here, because I'm too lazy to hunt them up. Hooray for imagination! :)
Sorry, it's just a few cheap ones, because I'm cheap too. Oh well. And lately, Level 5 costs like $1 at Bundle Stars, so if that's too high, just spend a buck and go create a hundred crappy bundle junk giveaways, there's bound to be a few people who didn't buy all that stuff yet... :)
Obligatory Skyrim Rap: Gods be praised
Obligatory difficult anti-bot puzzle
OBLIGATORY MORE FREE STUFF protected by an even more difficult puzzle
Super-obligatory hint because some idiot set the hint timer wrong: COPY AND PASTE, PEOPLE! Sorry! :)
Good luck, humans! :)
Be sure to bump this when you solve the puzzle. Or umm, ok I don't care if it gets bumped. And bumps just reduce your chances, and we don't want that, do we? Let's just hope it dies in a couple hours.
Good luck, human! :)
So, as you're a human, you can read this dumb question which is probably just an excuse for me to bump the topic after people forget about it:
What do you think about the replacement for greenlight, Steam Direct? All I can think of is reductio ad absurdum, i.e. Valve's anti-curation taken to its logical conclusion. Soon the Steam store will contain 1000 real games, buried under a million pieces of game-shaped garbage. Good luck finding anything you'd ever want to play. No shortage of +1s for the game-collecting lunatics, though... :)
p.s. I was going to make a Skyrim giveaway, but the store's been saying Processing Payment for the last 15 minutes so never mind. Hopefully I will remember to check that tab next week or something... Sorry gang... :)
