Current Events > Steam Gift Contest XII: Bad Rats for everyone

(+) Yeah! (+)

***Note: ArchangelBaruch is running this contest. I just created a new topic since the old one was about to hit 500***

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 ArchangelBaruch will 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 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 48 hours before the end of the Sales, whenever that is. That will give ArchangelBaruch 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/52ynFv

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

Got post 500 for the third topic in a row. Shame it isn't worth anything.

I love how that's one of the few topics where you'll see post 500 seeing if they got 499 instead.

It is, because of this, there probably won't be anymore games to farm

Also likely why it took them 3 years before doing an event like this again. Probably won't be seeing them do it again for a long while.

Gonna repost in case people missed focusing on 499

Wow

Edit: Maybe this is why it's taking so long for the last 3 planets. Filtering out bots? I doubt it, but one can hope.

Yep! What's sad is the bots don't even want the games or to play them, so it's a waste. They're just farming the cards and left idling on a planet which puts them more into the drawing. They need to spend $5 too per bot just to get the cards so I doubt Valve cares because they're making money

---

Yeah, botting is a serious problem on Steam, same for asset flip games. Valve sweeps it under the rug because they make big profits off Steam trading card bot farms

Hopefully this brings it to light because people are potentially losing something because of it and the winners page makes it visible to everyone in the public

tag...will get to updating soon-ish

I figured out how to beat the bots!

Well Hexes is over 85% and Reboots is just under. Are they going to have this issue cleared up before they have 5 more planets to deal with(as the other 3 are all above 64%)

Honestly if it's actually removing bots from the pool I'm all for waiting. I just wish they'd communicate with us if it's a bug or what.

Really anything would be greatly appreciated on my wish list but bloodstained would be awesome

Anything is muchly appreciated.

Anyone watch the season finale of westworld? Was it good or bad? All I want is a simple answer. Don't like too many details >_<
---

Whelp, posing again, first time in the new thread.

https://store.steampowered.com/wishlist/id/pookandpie/#sort=order

So what's this bots stuff? Is that a Black Mirror reference or something?

I still need to watch Black Mirror. Westworld too.

I thought it was great. Its probably an episode you'll need to watch more than once to really grasp all the different things going on. There were quite a few deaths that will be hard to swallow going forward. ;_;

Civ VI worth it? Huge discount but still kind of expensive. V was the first one I ever played and I enjoy the hell out of it. Does VI add enough or change it up enough to be worth it?

Only get it if you get it with the DLC/Expansions. Base game is not worth it if you already have Civ V

Wasn't there something about Civ VI having something that collects your data to sell? I could be wrong though.
