and corgi is back in first again

its so damn obvious there is cheating going on

Who cares. As long as we win.


easy to say when your on the team winning

edit: this looks ilke this because he deleted the post before i could properly qoute it but i still had a page with his post on it)

Lol that's why I delete my post. Victory at all costs I guess I mean I'll take any win I can get


I'm doing my part so that these damn cheaters don't get any rewards.

Such as signing in team Corgi and doing absolutely nothing, hoping I win something.

TopicGetting a big promotion with more responsibilities. How to negotiate pay

Always, ask the interviewer/ new boss the salary they think you deserve. This gives you leeway for negotiation.

Then you need a target value. Let's think it like this: your manager makes 200k with 20 years experience. You can calculate your way back to his base salary ( assuming a yearly rise of 2% percent, which is a moderate value). You'll end around 120-130k.

Being able to explain how you come up with your target salary, if asked, gives credibility to your figure.

Just checked, I'm only at 4k.

Assuming an average of 200 per contest (gifts + prizes), I've spent around 3k of that on others, 1k on me.

Though I get most of my games via bundles, so it's probably higher than that.

My post offering Black Ops 4 has been modded, as asking for another user's login is illegal activities. I'm disputing to find an alternative that will arrange everyone. Will update when I get an answer.

@xxBurnedManxx just gifted me risen 2 thanks. you really shouldn't have


1nd its actually risen 1

2nd didn't you just rejected ?

that i did... i thought i had removed it from my wishlist. i played the second one few months ago and i really didnt like the game >_> than i saw joe angry review. since than i kinda lost interest in the whole series.

i hope i didnt offend you :/ i understand how it feels to have someone "reject" your gift. dont take it personally i've been refusing a lot of gifts as of late. which i kinda regret now.


I was not offended at all. I was just confused.

Also someone on the DOC has already listed that I have gifted you risen 2. so that seems like a bit of misinformation.


'Twas me. Been trying to keep the doc updated as people confirm gifts. Though, having someone confirm a gift for the topic, while rejecting the actual game is a new one O.o
For now, I've put a strike through the entry on the doc, but @ArchangelBaruch will have to give a ruling on it


In case a gift of mine is refused, I just go into the person's wishlist and find another thing to give away. But that's personal preference.

It happens rarely enough that it's not an issue, and since it's the intention that counts (clearly they're not trying to rig the contest) I'd say make it count as a gift.

Just as a FYI, if you did not read the details on the new update system when it was announced, there are no longer multiple dispute tiers - i.e, asking a question in your dispute is pointless because we literally cannot answer.Also, asking for another person's login is disallowed because 99.999999% of the time it just leads to trouble, sorry.


@Caelthus
Thanks for the heads up, I had forgotten. Let me ask here directly here then: Is it OK if I create a new battle.net account, redeem the game in there then give the login info to someone?

So the game I have left from last month's Humble Monthly is Black Ops 4. First person to quote this gets it.

Bear in mind, I need to login with your Battle.net account in my PC as there is no way to gift the game otherwise, so you'll have to PM me your battle.net login (and be reactive on the "new login, please introduce this code in there").

should i claim my achievement points now? or wait until the last day of summer sale.

edit: it seems that no one updated the google doc.


I should get on top of it this weekend. These past couple years I basically updated nothing and left it to the others, which is pretty irresponsible on my end.

So how the fuck do i do this?

buy them on HB and hand out codes? is bullshit i tell you


Either that, Fanatical or similar.

I have HB Monthly this year, so unless the price drop is spectacular I'll get everything with the 10% HB discount.

But yeah, for a year I haven't been able to receive stuff from the US due to price difference.

EDIT: On that note, for people who plan to gift over $120 you may as well ger HB Monthly and get some games in exchange.

Also I have one game from last month, I'll post it later for grabs.

Nowhere it says in the food power that the result has to be edible.

So I could for example materialize some Martiam rock that Curiosity happens to take a photo of, for scientists to study. They can test a lot of its properties without direct contact.

Boooom, tons of money and advance of scientific research.

Or if it has to be edible, it's dinosaur summoning time. Or protoearth water with first signs of life. Or even mythological beasts, it isn't forbidden.

I started using OKC on December 2016, after over a year and about 8 first dates, I found my gf in there. We have been together for over a year and are talking about marriage in a couple years time.

Just keep trying, and don't give up. The right person for you is out there.

Weather is getting warmer, sun is out longer, the gifts are ripe to be gifted! Welcome everyone to another edition of this CE tradition, where people get other people longer games backlogs.

RULES

For the newbies, rules are simple:

- Do you want to get free games? Post your Steam wishlist and someone will gift you stuff!
- Feeling generous? Gift something to someone and you'll get a chance to win prizes!

That's the basics. Here's a couple additional things to keep in mind (since in every contest people ask the same questions):

- When gifting, please put somewhere in the gift message your GFAQs username. It helps keeping things straight.
- When you receive a gift, please post in the topic saying what you received and from whom.
- While this is called "Steam" gift topic, it isn't limited to it. Basically as long as the gift is a game, it counts.
- Gifters get one entry per gifted game. At the end of the contest I'll randomly pick a few winners entry from the pool, so the more you gift the more you can win!
- For giveaways of codes gotten from a bundle, you get one entry per 5 games gifted.
- You don't get entries from games you got for free.
- Gifts done elsewhere in GameFAQs count, as long as they have been gifted after the creation of this topic.
- To avoid getting the topic saturated, you can only post a link to your wishlist thrice per topic. You are free to put it in your sig for normal posts, though.
- Also to limit topic saturation, if you have a list of bundle codes for people to grab please limit posting them to thrice per topic.
- Before posting in the next topic, please wait until this one hits 500.

PRIZES

As in recent contests there will be 10 giftboxes. Each one of these is worth $10, and each will be given to a gifter from the gift list at random. Additionally, 2 gift boxes will be given to the person who'll gift the most stuff and 1 to the second person.

This puts the total prize of the contest at $130.

Additionally, if you have a giftbox remaining from a past contest (listed in the Winners tab) you can claim it at any point.

Prizes can be redeemed for either games, Paypal/Amazon/whatever credit, or kept in the abovementioned tab for when you see something you fancy.

DEADLINE

Deadline for entering the contest is two days before the end of the Steam sales. That will give me enough time to give prizes for cheap, so you guys will get more games.

ARCHIVE

All entries will be kept in a Google Doc: https://bit.ly/2X0XYBc

All people who want to help keeping this doc up-to-date are welcome, just PM me your Google account so that I can add you. By default, everyone who helped in the past have been added.

And...go!
