I was just solving the group puzzle part in Nordhbane's pixel puzzle (which you should definitely try, because it's cleverer and more fun than mine), which gave me some ideas myself. So I made a terrible puzzle :P

It's simple. Just guess which Steamgifts user I'm referring to in each question. I don't know how hard it is, but most (?) of them should be rather well known around here. Hints will probably be given, I'll see how it goes. Do post which questions you're having problems with so I know which ones to give hints ^^

Rewards

  • Crypt of the NecroDancer
  • Mad Max

Level 1+, ends in a week or so (23 May midnight, GMT +8).

Note: If any of the users I used in the puzzle want their name to be removed please let me know D:

*crosses fingers and hopes I don't screw up anywhere*

Updates:

  • Hints for Q3, 4, 6, 9 added.
  • More hints! Q10, 11, 12.
  • Even more hints for Q1, 5, 7, and another for 11. Should be quite a bit easier now.
  • Enough hints for now. Read the comments, they might help.

Not much of a hint, but you can exclude those that are referenced in Nordh's puzzle (if you got there, that is).

Stalking my profile might be a good way to get some. O:

Omg of course I know the fashion brand but for some reason I only associated it with fragrances and not fashion 8) (Tell me if I should delete that part in case it spoilers) Please don't hate me, dear person behind that question :3

Hm, I'm not sure if I will be able to solve this if I have to get all answers MYSELF this time ..... At least I found 6 from 12. Interestingly enough I had no problems with Q9 which seems to be one of the major hurdles for others.

EDIT 7/12: Got the Christmas Eve ......
EDIT 9/12: Found the strawberry and maybe miscounted before .... Also I have an idea for the Meth producer but I can't find a single post to get the actual name.

Still 9 of 12. I'll probably try later. Maybe I "find" some inspiration while traversing the forum.

EDIT 10 of 12: Still searching for the Meth bear and the Fashion Brand.
EDIT 11 of 12: By sheer coincidence I found the Fashion Brand. Don't know if I have ever met him in the forum. The methaholic bear remains unsolved.
EDIT 12 of 12: Found him. I was searching for a different profile photo. Either he did change it at one point or I was imaging things.
