Hello everyone, just got home so I'll be handing out the prizes soon... :) A big thank you to everyone who played, hope you had fun! :) I know I had fun... :)

To anyone who didn't win a prize, I'll find something for you, don't worry! :)

If anyone's curious to know what they missed:

CONSOLATION PRIZE:

To anyone who played and felt disappointed... I said this was just bundle leftovers, but: I always say that, and it's always a lie. :)

Any Jerkfest people who reached the "final" giveaway, and saw:

Well, that was fun! Hope you enjoyed the chance to win some bundle leftovers, fellow jerks! :) And never forget:

He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. :)

Next time, look at the URL on that rickroll smiley, ok? :) This isn't a puzzle, this is easy mode. Free stuff! :)

Extra Special non-jerky thanks to bananarepublic and xKomachi who found the Shadow of Mordor giveaway but refused to enter since it was on my wishlist. Jerks! :) I'll find some way to repay you! :)


Original stuff below:

Note: Be sure to read the whole thing, because if you're not a jerk you qualify for the Consolation Prize giveaway chain! :)


There are so many generous people here in the Steamgifts forum. To mention only a few recent examples:

DeltaBladeX created a Halloween giveaway event (plus countless others!)

Grauntgar made a Thanksgiving giveaway event.

IndaHoodz started an Insurgency Key Drop which unexpectedly became a Beggarfest/Blacklistfest :)

Khalaq made a Thankfest.

And currently, I see Tragikos is inviting people to another Simultaneous Giveaways group.

Sadly, I'm not one of those. I used to make puzzles, but haven't done any in ages. And if you ever looked at those puzzles, you know I'm a complete jerk. So I thought, hmm... :)

How about some giveaways for my fellow jerks? Any current or former jerks may apply. Here are some examples of how you might qualify... :)

  • Still haven't read the Steamgifts FAQ after two years?

  • Won a mountain of games, and given away zero?

  • On dozens of blacklists but can't figure out why?

  • Suspended for begging?

  • Spammed the forum with your referral links?

  • Tried to give away a region-restricted price glitch game?

  • Never thanked someone for buying a game, even after you won their giveaway?

  • Thought Steamgifts was the proper place to make your trade offers?

  • Cheated on/spoiled someone's forum puzzle?

  • Won something you didn't actually want, so you tried to regift it?

  • Scammed multiple copies of games from IGN Prime?

  • Complained about your $1 bundle junk not giving you $100 CV?

  • Asked why you haven't received that game you won 15 minutes ago?

  • Created giveaways but never sent the gifts to the winners?

  • Kicked from a giveaway group because you leeched a bunch of games and never gave anything back?

  • Tried to give away free stuff by calling it something else?

  • Won a bunch of great games but never played them?

  • Asked people to send you paypal/keys/games/metal/whatever for a chance to win something?

  • Idle Mastered your wins for the trading cards, and never played the games?

  • Entered all the expensive "Complete Pack/GOTY" giveaways because you were missing some cheap DLC?

  • Robo-commented something like Thank you very much for the chance to win this great game :D in every giveaway you entered? :)

  • (suggested by limathompson) Used Easy Steamgifts to auto join and auto comment every giveaway?

  • Or did you do something so jerky it didn't even occur to me to list it? :)

If any of these sound familiar, simply write I would like to enter the Jerkfest. And state the reason(s) you qualify. :) I will add you on Steam to give the URL for the start of the Jerkfest giveaway chain.

Note: Since this is a Jerkfest, the games are all bundle leftovers, and none of them have trading cards. :) Sorry! :)


Sadly, not everyone here on Steamgifts is a jerk. If you don't qualify for the Jerkfest, you qualify for the Consolation Prize giveaway chain! :) If you're not sure, here are some examples of non-jerk behaviour:

  • Did you carefully check the examples of qualifying Jerkfest behaviour, and fail to meet any of them? :)

  • Are you/were you a Steamgifts Admin/Moderator/Support/whatever person?

  • Thanked someone who gave away a game, even when you didn't win?

  • Gave away some games, before you even won any yourself?

  • Drove us insane with your puzzles?

  • Won some great games, and actually played them?

  • Made one of those helpful forum topics that saved us all hours of searching?

  • Created a fun event?

  • Got some achievements playing those trading card games you won, instead of using Idle Master for the free cards?

  • Or did you do something so non-jerky I couldn't even imagine it? :)

If you want to join the Jerkfest Consolation Prize giveaway chain, simply write "I would like to try for the Jerkfest Consolation Prizes." and state the reason(s) you qualify. :) I will add you on Steam to give the URL for the start of the Consolation Prize giveaway chain.

Note 1: Since I am a cheapskate, these are all bundle leftovers too. :) But they all have trading cards! :)

Note 2: In the true spirit of this Jerkfest I will also give you the URL for the start of the Jerkfest giveaway chain, so try for those too! :) Make sure no undeserving jerk wins them! :)

Hi!
I would like to try for the Jerkfest Consolation Prizes.
The reasons: I checked the examples of qualifying Jerkfest behaviour, and failed to meet any of them; thanked the creator of many giveaways, even when I didn't win; and last but not the least I played some great games not only for the trading cards but also for the achievements and the fun itself.

I feel I'm kind of in the neutral zone here.

I think the jerkiest thing I've done is won a few games that I haven't played yet. Although, this is more of a "I have limited broadband and can't download everything immediately because I might run out of internets for the month" issue.

Anyways, I would like to try for the Jerkfest Consolation Prizes.
I've given away a few games in the forums. They were mostly games I got for free, but that kinda still counts for something right?

In an attempt to slightly nudge me out of the neutral zone, here are some really cheap bundled games I have for some reason:
game thing
other game thing

I would like to enter the Jerkfest:
Won a bunch of great games but never played them(I tried everything,either crashed on me or I tried and was disappointed with the game),
Entered all the expensive "Complete Pack/GOTY" giveaways because you were missing some cheap DLC (I do this for sanctum 2).

I'd also like to try for the Jerkfest Consolation Prizes:
Won some great games, and actually played them (Pink knight DLC for castle crashers. Yes,a DLC is my best example.)
Created a fun event (I think,maybe. If you don't remember it,then there's no point in posting it.)

...I probably don't qualify for any of those. Still,it's nice to see this. I appreciate the time you've put into making this,and may you have a happy jerkfest! :)

I think gifting DLCs in general is a nice option - since it's far more likely that participants actually want the DLC itself and don't enter for a +1 to library or card farming. I'm glad to have it :)

i read the faq more than 2 years ago (i guess it had some evolution since then, yet i survived)

i use idle script and i love every saved second of it, my backlog thanks and now i can focus on the games that really matter

i still have some great win that i did not touch, and i will do it for sure, with time

these days most of my comments in forum and ga are done from a tablet, and that's pretty much an antibot and time consuming way of doing it (tehm typos)

i have no special need to qualify for anything, i was just passing by

Hmm... is hard for me to tell if I'm a jerk or not. I didn't read the FAQ yet (looks like I'm registered on SG 10 months ago, but "officialy" are 2 months). Because I'm new here I don't know what SAM or idle master means,so maybe if you tell me what those means it will be great.

(Sry for my bad english)

SAM and Idle Master are ways to "play" a game without actually downloading the game and playing it. Somehow it tells Steam you're playing, so you can get the trading cards. Let me know when you read the FAQ and you're in! :)

I qualify for both, but i guess I would like to enter the Jerkfest

Among other reasons because i won so many great games, but never got around to playing them. Partialy because colege is a pain, partialy because i saw some games that looked shinyer and more appealing at the time. Right now most new games i can run get boring for me after a while, and i can't take the time to fully enjoy and immerse myself in older games

Lol, not sure I qualify for either.
Jerk:

  • Won a bunch of great games but never played them?
    Got a pair of games recently which I haven't really played yet, but then the same goes for my recently bought/traded games too.
  • Idle Mastered your wins for the trading cards, and never played the games?
    Not yet, but considering (was considering doing it for games I'm currently playing as well though, so I won't feel forced to play just for cards).

Not Jerk:

  • Thanked someone who gave away a game, even when you didn't win?
    Sometimes I did... sometimes I didn't.
  • Gave away some games, before you even won any yourself?
    I think so, but not sure, don't remember. ^^"
  • Got some achievements playing those trading card games you won, instead of using Idle Master for the free cards?
    I did, but I played it only for like half an hour. :S

Is there a consolation consolation prize for those uncertain of their jerkness? :)
(One day I'll figure out why "Use one asterisk or hyphen as the beginning of a sentence, followed by a space." doesn't seem to work for me Q_Q)

Why i am a jerk

  • Won a bunch of great games but never played them

  • Removed giveaway for free game

  • Idling won games for cards(though i don't use idle master for this)

  • Robo-commented something like Thank you very much for the chance to win this great game :D in every giveaway you entered

  • Entered all the expensive "Complete Pack/GOTY" giveaways because you were missing some cheap DLC(not too much)

  • I'm such a jerk that I enter more in private/group/high cv with low time giveaway to have more chances to win

Why I qualify for compensation prizes

  • Thanked someone who gave away a game, even when you didn't win

  • Gave away some games, before you even won any yourself

  • Made one of those helpful forum topics that saved us all hours of searching(sometimes I'm the first one that makes the forum post about a bundle)

  • it's worth mentioning that I tryed some of the games but some doesn't work on my potato and ,again to the jerk side, i wait for achievements games maybe playfire will list them for rewards :)

i know that i;m a mad person who only want to see the world burn. So kind of a jerk unless you wish the same thing

But i think i am a decent enough SG user i guess:

_ I only enter the game i do play and, actually do play the game i won, and try to suggest everybody else do the same in all of my GA too

_ I do thank in pretty much every private GA that i enter.. (unless i actually forgot to do that)

I've scammed someone and gotten suspended for posting ref-links. I'd say I'm a bona-fide jerk if ever there was one. And to top it all off, I think your pathetic bundle games are unworthy of my efforts, after all, what use is a bundle game without trading cards to idle for? -.___-.

Well I'd say that I'm highly qualified for the following reasons:

Still haven't read the Steamgifts FAQ after two years?
I never read the FAQ.

Cheated on/spoiled someone's forum puzzle?
I did, and posted the url to all the members of a group

Won something you didn't actually want, so you tried to regift it?
No, but I won a bunch of games I didn't want just to have more games

Kicked from a giveaway group because you leeched a bunch of games and never gave anything back?
Yes, it happened because I didn't know anything about ratios :D

Won a bunch of great games but never played them?
If I say that I played more than 10% of the games I won here, I'd be lying

Idle Mastered your wins for the trading cards, and never played the games?
Yes! For shitty games obviously

Robo-commented something like Thank you very much for the chance to win this great game :D in every giveaway you entered? :)
Yes :( I do have a 'thank you' plugin.

I created a giveaway of another extension of a game when that wasn't really the key just so I could get the CV.

As well as I might qualify for the jerkfest, I think I too qualify for the Consolation Prize.

Did you carefully check the examples of qualifying Jerkfest behaviour, and fail to meet any of them? :)
Yes, I read everything as of now.

Won some great games, and actually played them?
I won many games here, but the ones I actually played were the AAA titles.

Thanked someone who gave away a game, even when you didn't win?
Yes.

Got some achievements playing those trading card games you won, instead of using Idle Master for the free cards?
Yes!

I create at least 6 giveaways each two months :)

2) I thank giveaway creators with interesting comments.
3) I play the games I win. Also, I perfected one of the games.
4) I have not done any jerky behavior, and this forum thread inspires me (and I hope others) to be friendly and more involved.

I am a jerk because "Won a bunch of great games but never played them?" :( Not your Alien: Isolation though! I've finished it :D It was amazing :)

And I'm not a jerk because "Thanked someone who gave away a game, even when you didn't win?", "Gave away some games, before you even won any yourself?", "Drove us insane with your puzzles?", "Won some great games, and actually played them?" and "Got some achievements playing those trading card games you won, instead of using Idle Master for the free cards?" :)

So I guess I quality for both ;P I probably have the games anyway because I buy most bundles :D Nice idea fiftykyu ;)

Hum i don't know which one i qualify the most for.
For example, i won some games and haven't played all of them yet (so many games to be played).
Or i used to use the generic Thanks and try to personalise it now.
