(Topic opener copied from blistr's previous topic)So this is Christmas
And what have you done?
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
We hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young
Have a very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Now let's spread the cheer
With the 25th CE Steam Sale Event - Winter 2024 Edition!!
Here's how it works:- The 25th CE Steam Sale Event - Winter 2024 Edition will commence on Thursday December 19th at 10am PST.
- Post your Steam wishlist and maybe someone will buy you a game! Make sure your wishlist is set to PUBLIC.
- If you are gifted a game, post in this topic stating "GameFAQs username has gifted me Name of game". If we all follow the same format it will make for much easier record keeping.
- Gifts will be recorded on this Google Sheets worksheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11HHkbTUE-FfGk2F7GJm1EqCNAed6mZtyiLrbOTSV8qA/
- Humble Bundle/Choice Keys may be given away and will be counted for the entirety of this event. For every five keys given away you will receive 1 entry into the final draw. Please mark posts for keys received as such for ease of record keeping (eg. "GameFAQs username has gifted me a key for Name of game").
- This event will conclude on Monday December 30th at 1pm PST. Shortly after the final draw will be conducted.
- As blistr is conducting this event and the final draw, unless otherwise stated on a prize-by-prize basis, he is excluding himself from any prizes to remain fully impartial and transparent.
- The number and value of prizes shall be determined on an ongoing basis as set by those wishing to contribute, and as such may not be finalised until the conclusion of this event. Please note that to receive a gift card from the final draw you must be friends with the gift card giver on Steam for a period of 3 days (72 hours) or more. This is a requirement of Steam and we have no control over this.
- If you wish to contribute to the final draw, please indicate here what your prize(s) will be.
- The prize worth the most shall be awarded to the person with the most gifts given. All other prizes shall be drawn randomly using an online random number generator pitted against the order of the gifts being given. Prizes shall be drawn from most value to least value. To help spread the joy around only one prize shall be awarded randomly to any one person. This means the person who takes the top prize for most gifts given will still be eligible for a randomly drawn prize, and as such is the only person with the potential to receive two prizes.
- You may officially post your wishlist up to 3 times per topic. If you abuse this rule you will be found out and ridiculed extensively!! :P Continued violations of this rule may result in you being excluded from the final draw and/or the entire event. Please note that wishlists in your sig are not counted towards official posts.
- If you live outside of the USA, region codes/locking may prevent you from gifting users in certain countries and vice versa. This is a limitation of Steam due to regional pricing differences and as such falls outside our jurisdiction. You may purchase keys from third party sites to give away to get around this limitation, with said keys still counted as gifts. Please note that keys given away from lists posted in this topic will be counted as keys and not gifts.
- You may conduct your own giveaway within this event, provided your giveaway does not hijack and override this event. You will need to disclose all rules of your giveaway up front so everyone knows exactly what is required. It is preferable for your giveaway to be based on skill, either in full (ie. tell me why you'd like to win the game I'm giving away and the best story/reason wins) or partially (ie. first person to guess the game I'm describing wins) rather than purely random (ie. pick a number between X and Y, or guess my favourite number, etc.).
- And last but by no means least, this is a friendly, fun event. Discussion of games given, wished for or just because is highly encouraged. Please be courteous to one and all and, most importantly, have fun!
Final Prize Draw Pledges:- Nintendo-34: $25 giftcard or $25 worth of games
- dummy420: 2x $10 gift cards
