Great thread! I laughed! :D
Reasons I qualify for Jerkfest: I confess, I idle my games for Trading cards! D:
But, with that said, I do have a crazy illusion in my head that I will go through my entire library and at least give each of the games a shot. Except Bad Rats. I can't!
When I was a young lad that just joined this awesome community before I knew it was awesome I joined in alot of public giveaways without expressing thanks. I think I won one of them in which I genuinely thanked the GA creator, oh my how dumb I was back then. Which was the main reason my comment/giveaway ratio was so bad :/
I won Alien Isolation a couple weeks ago and I've yet to play it! (Mainly because I need my data cap reset) No excuse, though. I heard that game was pretty good.
Reasons I don't qualify for jerkfest:
I always thank GA creators without bots of any sort now :D
All HAND TYPED!
I've tried my hand at puzzles before, even though I had no idea what I was doing. :D
I try to be helpful among the community and overall generous and grateful for being part of something this awesome.
My life is in your hands, sir!
Also, Bump for being apart of this thread! Huzzah!

Drat, you guys with four pages of wins are giving me a lot of extra work! :)
Aha, 86 wins, congratulations! :) So let's take a look... :)
Played 3: Fortix, Fortix 2, and Torchlight II! :)
Not Played: Everything Else! :)
So, in the plus side, not a jerk, always friendly, helping people, Steamgifts would definitely be less fun without you around! :)
In the minus side, that's not an Idle Master, that's an Idle Grandmaster! :) So good luck in the Jerkfest! :)
p.s. Trust me, we're never going to play this stuff. I can't remember what I bought yesterday... :(

i've been waiting all week for someone else to be a real jerk and leak the private jerkfest links! :)
if that's not worthy enough, i suppose my other qualifications to apply are:
consolation:
Comment has been collapsed.
Let me try!
Won a bunch of great games, installed on my computer but rarely play them.
Using Idle Master
Exploit CV. I create wrong giveaway for two tribes classic pack. I realize this after winner tell me it's wrong giveaway. So I go to tremorgames to get toki tori 2 and give it to winner. I should get bundle cv :(
Rarely says thanks when enter public/public group giveaway.
Always says thanks when enter private giveaway.
Didn't enter giveaway for games i'm not interesting
This included as puzzle?
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmm, you at least tried Final Fantasy VII, Thief Gold, and The Walking Dead, which are the only ones I would call "great" in your wins pile.
Hmm, and you gave away a Witcher 2, that's a sign of good taste... :) But the winner doesn't seem to own it?! :( Any idea what's up with that? To avoid any of us breaking rules about "calling out" you could tell me on Steam instead. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmm, dropping free stuff in the forum isn't exactly a mark in the plus column, if you know what I mean... :) But at least you asked why you couldn't create a giveaway for some other free stuff... :) And you did helpfully paste a code someone else dropped in the forum, in case anyone missed it... :)
So, yeah, I think we're going to go with the Jerkfest side here, good luck! :)

1.
I would like to enter the Jerkfest, because :
Robo-commented something like Thank you very much for the chance to win this great game :D in every giveaway you entered?
(Yeah, i'm Robo-commented on every entries give away with "Thanks :3"
Suspended 1 month (Was reduce to 3 days because I make ticket to ask about "the rules" on F.A.Q) because I paste link thread forum about charity abuse & I didn't know it will make "She" so angry & kicked me out on all entire her winning GA.
2.
I would like to try for the Jerkfest Consolation Prizes, because :
Won some great games, and actually played them?
(Actually he give me a great AAA games because I was agree when he ask me to give a chance on Skyrim GA what i've won it to other people who didn't get a chance of winning. And after that, i didn't win every chance of GA on that group & he give me SR IV and I played it <3)
Got some achievements playing those trading card games you won, instead of using Idle Master for the free cards?
(Got some achievements on games what i've won it on SG, like : Batman, BioShock Infinite, Saints Row: The Third, etc)

Now, now, don't forget "Entered all the expensive "Complete Pack/GOTY" giveaways because you were missing some cheap DLC?" :)
I should probably be grateful you've played a lot of your good stuff, but after 199 wins there really wasn't much chance... :) Although I did take a look, just to be sure! :)
You do know you'll never have time to play more than a tiny fraction of those, right? :) And I didn't mean "only play some of the expensive stuff, and ignore the rest! :) Some of the people in those giveaways actually wanted to play them! :) I'll bet even some of those games that didn't drop cards were worth a few moments of your time... :) So good luck! :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't know if I'm a jerk or not, I have won some great games and not played them however I have also won some great games and earned achievements, the only reason other wins haven't been played is due to lack of time.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, you won a fake Monaco, sorry. :( Checked my leftover pile and unfortunately I don't have any. :(
I was expecting the worst when that Temple of Osiris thing didn't turn up in your games list, but of course it's a pre-order. Sorry for suspecting the worst for a moment. :) Yeah, I think you might want to try some of those games you've won, you can't let Idle Master have all the fun! :) Good luck! :)
p.s. Back for a bit, hopefully! :) Oops, Steam sale, I forgot to look for bargains yesterday... :( There's probably some good deals disappearing in a few hours... Ugh, I need a clone to take care of all this stuff for me... :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I hope you're going to post the link to the consolation prize chain after the giveaways are over is a "here is what you jerks could have won" style thingy.
Comment has been collapsed.
Good idea! But it's not actually necessary - when private giveaways are over, you can see them in the giveaway creator's profile. And it's just bundle leftovers either way, so all the Jerkfest people are missing are a few trading cards... :)
But maybe I should write a final message at the end, to thank everyone for playing! Will have to think of something to say... :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, i would like to apply, but you decide on which one.
I dont always say thanks when i enter GA, and if i do, most of the times i dont mean to :S
Got kicked for inactivity in various groups.
I have like 120 unredeemed games and im not planning to do GA in the near future.
Comment has been collapsed.
Still haven't read the FAQ, so I qualify as a jerk :)
But... I also qualify for the consolidation prize giveaway, since I've completed (most) games that I won.
Since I have a reason to join both, I'll join the jerk contest, because joining both would be greedy and qualify as being a jerk, so I'll just be a jerk.
I would like to enter the Jerkfest!
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmm, unless you're only pretending to give a Bioshock Triple Pack, and it's really a Bad Rats Triple Pack, you don't seem jerky enough to be in the Jerkfest! :) So I'm afraid you will need to try your luck with the Consolation Prizes! :) Sorry! :)

Sorry for not being a jerk. Won my 1st gift from you and played it actually ..
Too bad i bleed 'profusely' recently, hacked by someone..half-dead now. No gifts for anyone.
At the same time, I am a 'Jerk' too for remove you from my friendlist.. Otherwise, you will be 'hacked'
Jerk or not Jerk?!
Comment has been collapsed.
Aha, hello again! :)
Always curious when people are "hacked" - does that mean someone guessed your password, and also guessed your email password? Broke into your computer and installed a keylogger? Tricked into running something bad? Random Steam "friend" messaged you to click on a thing, and you did? Etc.
Come to think of it, how do I know you're really you, and not the evil hacker trying to score some free games? :)
And many people remove me from their friend list, that doesn't make them jerks. :) I also removed the person who gave me my first win - for some reason I thought a friend list was for actual "friends" and not random internet people. How silly that was... :) Now it's 99% random internet people, and I don't know anything about them in the real world. Do they have a fascinating fake persona for the internet, and a boring real life they never talk about? Or a boring fake persona to disguise the exciting real life they never talk about? :) When they say they have to leave now, are they just tired of listening to me? :)
Oops, forgot I was supposed to save that stuff for the giveaway comments. It's not easy replying to hundreds of messages... :) If I search for something interesting to say in every one I'll never finish... So it's 99% meaningless drivel and 1% thoughtful replies... :)
Just kidding. I think. :)
So you won some great games, and got achievements in some of them - I use that to guess if someone's been idling or actually playing. Like if you win Tomb Raider but get no achievements - does that mean Idle Master, or just that you played for a couple hours and didn't like the game much? :) Unless there's one for "clicked a button" or "finished the tutorial" it's just guessing on my part. :) Anyway it looks like you gave most of your older wins a try, so I guess you're not a jerk, just busy. :) Good luck in the consolation prizes, but don't forget to take a look at your newer wins too. :)
Assuming I can ever add you that is... Steam's not cooperating right now. Yay Steam. :(

Regarding the 'hacked' matter, was quite a long story to say...Someone (hacker)added me and asked me to join his/her team as stand in in csgo.. Then, asked me to install mumble (communication software) given me the web link to install. I did some search on web, though it was real one (see the avast web rep and looked clean), never realised it was fake..my avast premium AV also not detected it..After installed, then you know the what's going next. I never fall to this kind of dupe, 1st time proved to be gravely mistake.
They seems to be stealing our steamguard SSFN file and used it to be pretend as you (the victim) and bypass the steamguard, logged into your steam account and traded away your items.
Afterwards, I uninstalled the fake mumble.exe and scanned my pc, clean and no virus/malware found. Steam support restored back my items as one time exception.
Not long after, i hacked again and lost all. So i did some search and then realised I need to deauthorized all the devices logged in before (include the hacker's pc which pretended as me ).
This time steam support not helping me and i lost all. They wont restore my backpack for 2nd time. Actually they can trace back my account IP Log and immediately will know my account had been compromised (I believe).They just said they will do investigation on it and then blah blah
Part of the conversation: -
We will investigate this user and take appropriate action upon the hijacker, but we are unable to make changes to your backpack.
Please note that you will not receive a notification about any action taken as a result of this report.
I am not pleased with the last sentence.. No update for me? Possibly they wont take any action on hackers too? WTF!
Lost likely USD 500-600 in items value . The end to my story.
I formatted my pc afterward, it should be secure enough now.
Meanwhile, for the tomb raider, i had fps issue on that game and the graphics looked awful when i changed my settings to low. That's why i no longer play it. Now I only playing CSGO ..
Anyway, thanks for added me again as friend..

i would like to try for jerkfest consolation prize
Thanked someone who gave away a game, even when you didn't win
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmmmm, that's tricky...
Jerky or non-jerky, I can't find evidence of either one around here... :) Snoop snoop... Wow, that's a lot of free games on your account... :) Was that really counted as $100 when you joined? :) Think think... :)
Sorry, but I'm going to exercise my right as biggest jerk in the Jerkfest and say no. :) You're welcome to try for the Jerkfest prizes though. :) No trading cards, but more free games! :) Good luck! :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I have some jerk on me but I think that I fit better on non-jerk. Also some games that I've own here I cannot play because of my PC (shit one)
EDIt: Actually, I'm a jerk. * Still haven't read the Steamgifts FAQ after 4 months
Comment has been collapsed.
Aha, looks like you changed this before I could reply... :) I was going to say something about trying to win games you can't play sounds like jerk material to me... :) And if I can't play a new game, maybe I should enter giveaways for older games instead. :) And that Cobi Treasure Deluxe looks like a real PC killer... :)
Minimum:
OS: Windows XP/Vista/7/8
Processor: 1.0 GHz or Better
Memory: 256 MB RAM
DirectX: Version 9.0
But since you changed your mind, I'll have to (reluctantly) agree that you're good for the Jerkfest, so good luck! :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Not sure if you're asking this question in the correct place... :)
I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that you're new to Steamgifts, and wanted to make a giveaway for something that was recently given away for free, except you couldn't find it listed in the giveaway list... :)
If so, the short answer is you can't. Don't try to make giveaways for free stuff. :)
Freely available stuff is removed from the giveaway list. So if a website is giving away copies of "The Culling of the Cows" or "Metro 2033" or whatever, we don't make giveaways for it here. And we can't pick any random thing with a similar name to get around it, either. :) Hope that helps! :) If you have time you might want to take a look at the Steamgifts FAQ, too! :)

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:
JERKFEST:

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! :)

Umm, this is easy guys. :)

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! :)
