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! :)

What a neat idea. =P I suppose I'll take a go at this.

I would like to try for the Jerkfest Consolation Prizes!

I carefully checked the examples of qualifying Jerkfest behaviour, and failed to meet any of them.
I've thanked someone who gave away a game, even when I didn't win.
I've won some great games, and actually played them - (Still working on getting through them, though. These things take time, man =P).
I've gotten some achievements playing those trading card games I won, instead of using Idle Master for the free cards.
I don't enter giveaways of games that I'm not actually interested in playing.
I'm not a very social person, but I've helped out some users on the forums when they were trying to figure something out. A few times were related to trying to help them remember what some game was that they've played in the past.
I try to be kind and polite to everyone, online and offline, even when something they do or say actually makes me mad or annoys me.
I'm not a Steamgifts related Moderator/etc person, but I was a player Moderator on RuneScape for about 6 years, if that counts as something. =)
I don't like being a jerk. It makes me feel like crap. =(

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

I'm not exactly sure what you qualify as "Robo-commenting", but I admit, in most public giveaways that I've entered I will usually write a pretty generic "Thanks.", or similar, especially now, after nearing 17,000 giveaways entered. It's very hard to write meaningful comments on every giveaway, especially when you know 99% of the time it won't be read, but I probably should try saying a bit more than I do now. =/

Anyway, there you go. =)
