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:

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! :)

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! :)

I am also not a jerk because I thank people for keys I didn't get, so do I get both ga's? :P

i'll try my luck and state that I would like to try for both the Jerkfest and Consolation Prizes then, up to you to decide which one ;P

Jerkfest:

  • Still haven't read the Steamgifts FAQ after two years (I CONFESS! but really, a lot of the FAQ stuff is common sense :P)
  • Never thanked someone for buying a game, even after you won their giveaway (one of my wins, i never actually thanked the guy through email/steam chat, since he put my email in the humble gift link...i did thank him later on in the giveaway page but don't think he saw it...)
  • Won a bunch of great games but never played them (i haven't had the time or computer! always getting sidetracked by other games...)

Consolation:

  • Thanked someone who gave away a game, even when you didn't win (does saying thanks on private giveaways just as a form of courtesy count? :P)
  • Won some great games, and actually played them (does Tactical Intervention - i won a DLC - count as a "great game"? XD what about Day One: Garry's Incident? :P I did definitely play a bit of Pinball FX2 on and off after I won a table set)
  • Made one of those helpful forum topics that saved us all hours of searching (i'd like to think that the threads i make almost every monday are helpful ;) )

I would like to enter the Jerkfest.

I am guilty of:

  • Idling my wins for the trading cards, and never playing them.
  • "Leaking" a private giveaway in the group chat.
  • Being a shitty butthurt dumbass to the support. (I'm still terribly sorry for my past misbehaviour on Steamgifts.)

I'm also evil, so there's that.

Hmmmm, that's a tough one! I'll have to think about it, all those forum giveaways have to count for something! :) For now I can add you to the Jerkfest, maybe in the morning I will feel bad and add you for the Consolation Prize as well. :)

I would like to try for the Jerkfest Consolation Prizes because I have failed to meet the above examples to be a jerk and I thanked people even when I lost a giveaway(no bots). Plus, I have played games that I have won, not for the cards, but because I actually enjoyed the games since I only enter for games I'd want to play. Lastly, I created a small forum event.

I have one for you. I needed to create a non-bundle giveaway for one of my groups to improve my ratio (you were a member too) and bought UNepic, but after creating the giveaway, you create a thread here saying that UNepic should be added to the bundle list since it was on a bundle 2 years ago, the game got added to the list and my giveaway no longer qualified as non-bundle so I decided to delete it. And to make it worst you got kicked out the following days for leeching. I know you did nothing wrong besides leeching, but at least I can help you today to enter the Jerkfest.

you were exploiting a bundle game (not yet added to the bundle list) and i was the jerk?

(I was never rulefully kickedout for leeching - i invite you to prove that)

You are right, you did nothing wrong but I already said that. And you were not able to leech, because they outsmarted you and kicked you before you could do it. Proof.

That's difficult, if I had to choose I'd go for "Won a bunch of great games but never played them?" and maybe it's SAM instead of Idle Master... :) Good luck! :)

i'm a bit confused. if you mean "Won a bunch of great games but never played any of them?", i'm sure i don't qualify for the jerkfest. but i have some wins i didn't play yet. so maybe i qualify? but on the other side my most played game is from steamgifts. isn't that a negative point to qualify? yup, i'm confused.

and if you mean "Won some great games, and actually played all of them?", i don't even qualify for the consolation prize either. but wait... i guess "Got some achievements playing those trading card games you won, instead of using Idle Master for the free cards?" comes to the rescue. i've even 100%'ed some of my wins. so... uhh... yeah... .-.

I qualify for the Consolation Prize giveaway, because
-i say thank you, most of the time when entering. everytime i win something.
-i don't meet any Jerkfest behavior.
-i made an easy puzzle, a long time ago and it drove some people crazy.
-i don't idle any game, except if it sucks or unplayable.
