Current Events > Steam Gift Topic XI: Gift until you can't gift again

(+) Yeah! (+)

Happy 5th year anniversary! It's game time again.

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!
- You get only one entry for all games coming from an individual bundle (though if you bought two copies of the same bundle and gift games from both, you get two entries. And so on).
- 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.
- Before posting in the next topic, please wait until this one hits 500.


PRIZES

As in recent contest here 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.


DEADLINE

Deadline for entering the contest is January 2nd at 12PM EST. 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://goo.gl/EE8GdQ

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.

For stats about visitors and stuff: https://goo.gl/EE8GdQ+

Sale start on the 21st for those wondering. Though the GOG is still going on I think, so you can get your early gifting on!

Can confirm this. It would have been about a week ago, so it probs doesn't count for this contest but I want it noted so he might get some love from generous people. Game wasn't even on sale IIRC O_O
---

Yeah, doesn't count sorry. But he definitely gets a shoutout.

What's the Outstanding Warrants tab in the google doc for?

What's the Outstanding Warrants tab in the google doc for?

IIRC, it's people who have received games without ever gifting. Or possibly people who have received more games than they've gifted. The higher the number, the worse it is lol. We have some generous users who gift a lot and some... who don't gift so much
---

I always try to gift as much as I get at the very least. Unfortunately, I am completely broke this year.

I've been unemployed the last couple of sales unfortunately. I always manage to gift some, and generally gift more than I buy for myself, but I can't always keep even on the number I receive lol.

Welp, time for my break to be over. Had about a 3 hour gap at work but that's done. Have fun guys!

I MAY be able to gift a couple of things after Christmas, but all the money i currently have is already marked for certain things and I can't deviate from that one bit.

I...think its just the number of gifts someone has received. Assuming thats right, makes it so people can spread the love around if they want. Anyway, to kick this off...I have a copy of The Long Dark and a copy of Dawn of War III. First person to quote me with either of them having been on their wishlist prior to today gets to pick one of em. :3

(Also tag, <3 you fuckers)
---

My wallet is not ready!
---

Yeah, it's the gifts received. I was for taking it out since it's a pain to keep up to date, but others like to check it.
---

Eep... My bad, guys. Guess this is why I'm not on the doc edit list xD
---

I might end up having to just gift a few gift cards to people this year since they put in that exchange rate nonsense.

Nah, thanks anyway. I don't even have real internet access atm. Same as it ever was, I've only got a phone during the holidays unless I head out to McDonald's or something. At least I have a REAL smartphone now lol

I did that last year, I forgot about it and I don't think anyone noticed. It's the gifts received column.

I'm still going to try and gift some games this time around, but I don't think it'll be nearly as much as I've done before.
---

Tagging, wishlist in sig.

Hey, it's that time of the year again.

Wonder what the gimmick this year is.

I have a (spare) copy of The Long Dark and a (spare) copy of Dawn of War III.

Whooooo wants one? I'm not into solo survival games or RTS games (don't kill me pls). >.>
---

I'll take the survival one
---

Plesse

I love the idea of this.

I just wish I wasn't so broke from medical bills, regular bills, and Christmas shopping for my wife and kids to participate.
---

Hopefully the sales are better this year.

It feels like last Christmas was only a few months ago too. Crazy how time flies faster and faster when you get older.

BUMP

I gifted a few games to @fire_bolt and @StarReaper13, if y'all could please confirm when you receive them so I can be sure there weren't any issues.
---

Quick question(since steam added a new feature), How would gifting a digital gift card work for this contest since steam added that a bit ago? Would that count as a gift? http://steamcommunity.com/games/593110/announcements/detail/1455086641079110715 This is the announcement if you missed it.
