Ladies and gentlemen, it's the end of another great contest. This time around your generosity has made possible giving 355 gifts to other users. Thanks to everyone who participated.

Now for the results. As a reminder each giftbox is worth $10, and you can get it in whichever format you want (Steam game, gift card, credit for next sale...)

The top gifter, with 56 gifts is...BMXJouster! You get 2 giftboxes!

The second top gifter, with 47 gifts...Senta! A giftbox for you!

Now, there has been a bit of internal discussion about Senta's gift count, since most of the games came from unidentified Humble Boxes, so it's difficult to determine how many entries should be credited to him. This will be something to be addressed in the rules of next contest. Also it doesn't take from his great generosity towards other people.

So, to be fair, and seeing how third place is kind of close, I'm adding an extra giftbox for third place. Which belongs, with 42 gifts to... watertank! A giftbox for you too! (plus another one you had won in a past contest)

Now for the 10 random giftboxes. As always, I'll use random.org, and since there is a header in the Google Doc sheet the entry number = the randomized number + 1.

So, the 10 lucky winners are...

Set 1: 253 -> XImperialDragon (1)
Set 2: 198 -> Aristoph (1)
Set 3: 352 -> Alakazamtrainer
Set 4: 181 -> Alakazamtrainer (2)
Set 5: 106 -> ...Me >_________________> Reroll!
Set 5b: 233 -> DarkFists (1)
Set 6: 313 -> BMXJouster
Set 7: 271 -> bluezero (1)
Set 8: 27 -> Flintlock_Staff (1)
Set 9: 115 -> andrewl923 (1)
Set 10: 310 -> BMXJouster (4)

Congrats to the lucky winners! PM me your prize choice please, quickly in case it's a Steam game so that I can get it in the Sales. As a FYI, I'll be gone for the next 24 hours or so.

And that's all folks! Tune in next time for more gifting adventures in Christmas time!

Congrats everyone. Sadly I couldn't gift more so I feel a little bad winning when others who didn't win gifted more. Between jobs now but I plan to return all the kindness and then some next sale! :D

Hey! I'm glad I remembered to search for "Steam" in the topic list or I would have completely missed this. I'm sending you a PM right now.

Maybe should be sure to @ all the winners in case you haven't heard from some of them yet, just to make sure they know.

EDIT: Also, to reiterate what's already been said, congrats to the other winners and thank you to Baruch for running these giveaways all the time. It's always great to see how generous CE can be and spread a little good cheer to friends. ^_^

I'm kind of old school, I hadn't even thought about @ ing people, what I usually do is I PM people who haven't given me an answer in 24 hours.

But yeah, I'll ping the winners in a few hours when I'm in front of my PC.

I wanted to get gifting done tonight, but I had a small emergency and couldn't.

I'll get to gifting tomorrow sometime at work, may not be able to gift everyone at once so I'll prioritize people who asked for games (since their gift is on a time limit).

So, prize status. The following are unfullfilled as of now:

@bluezero : I believe your gift can wait? Need to check how it works.
@Senta : I believe I can't send you giftboxes since I just added you as Steam friend. Do you have another idea in mind or you prefer to wait a couple days until Steam lets me send it?
@Aristoph Waiting for you to accept Steam friendship.
@andrewl923 @XImperialDragon Please choose a prize.

Wow, so what's the tl;dr of how all this worked?

Everyone gifts each other games, usually on Steam for the sale. For each gift, an entry is added in the Google Sheet. The person who gifts the most games gets two giftboxes, second most gets one, and 10 random giftboxes are given out and everyone who gifted a game is eligible. The more you gifted the more likely you are to get one. Giftboxes are $10 worth of whatever game you want.
