MAKING STEAMGIFTS GREAT AGAIN: SUPERFABS EDITION!

ANOTHER DOWN! HOW MANY MORE TO GO? We shall see!

PLEASE NOTE ADDENDUM added 12/26 Thanks!

So, I was planning on running daily giveaways, but I got cut off. Anyway, I'm going to make it three days each in honor of my three day hiatus. Since some people haitus... GET IT! ;)

So, I see many haven't figured much of anything out yet, with my rules and stuff. A lot of fails this round. Some have met requirements, however. Enough to at least not be blacklisted. I was surprised how many got whitelisted this round though. Wasn't expecting that. I better add a good one now, since people are going down too fast and they might not get good chances after this one.

Wanted to note: I'll be checking some whitelists for custom rules I have too - and maybe removing them or blacklisting them for some of the event. If you're removed, you'll get a notice from me, but otherwise my rules remain the same. If you pass my whitelist check for that round you're okay for that round. I only will alter at the end phase of each giveaway, after tallying entries.

Try and put the pieces together and survive - if you are on the bubble or otherwise. Of course, this could all be a bunch of crap, much like the various mish-mash of convoluted rules here on steamgifts... that nobody cares to/wants to fix because either: a) they are brown-nosers, whether by choice or what they feel is "security/survival", thereby creating "social cliques", another primal and completely natural phenomenon between most "neurotypicals", or b) they simply don't care because of neuroplasticity breakdowns - trauma, mental health, genetics, upbringing, etc., or c) they settle for mediocrity and want to be part of the status quo - probably again going back to point 1 with security and survival - the "I didn't see anything", because they don't want to become targeted themselves kind of scenario... The result(s) being of course: no changes are enforced for the betterment of society, whether on a small scale like steamgifts, or a larger forum, like cities, countries, and beyond. Then you end up living in a hopeless, shitty, dystopian society full of greed, much like the world today.

Most humans are blatantly stupid or desensitized to this fact, or blinded/distracted/pacified by the wrong things, making them stupid by default (at least in one area or another, all are), so I can't blame them for what they do not know or understand. Smart people just took control, but dumber ones let them. Psychological Warfare has taken advantage of this, and most are unseeing and brainwashed now. None can escape this power to one extent or another.

As one mentioned in a conversation I had on steam, and with a degree of accuracy of the system here and otherwise, please take note of the following:

There are others, but these are good enough for references:

These leave some unanswered questions perfectly logical in my mind now.
These "fragmentations" are reserved for the realm of thinkers and problem solvers. The age of thinkers is long dead.

In honor of my next giveaway, and my music-related topic of discussion I updated, so that I can allow myself the joy of sharing links to music on steamgifts, I present: Symphony X - The Odyssey

Here's your giveaway: Instead of 1 per day, you now have 3 days!

Assassin's Creed® Odyssey

Note: By the way, friending me early can help if you win and I cannot gift it directly to you due to Steam implementations. You can find out more about me here if you are curious if you're out of bounds as far as regions go, if you know how to check against Steam's regional differences shit. Anyway... you're 100% safe if you're in the USA, to put it in slightly simpler terms, or for those who don't check my profile. Everywhere else is questionable. :)

Gift cards take three days of being friends before one is allowed to trade 'em! Just saying! Also, mention in commens why you're adding me, or I will probably just cross-check any I come across...

UPDATE AND ADDENDUM-THINGIE:

  • If you are whitelisted, I will not create a blacklist for you, unless you win and I decide you need to review a game to regain your whitelist spot. I will demote you if you don't meet certain criteria as I explore your ... steam profiles/steamgifts lifetimes. So... yeah. Basically I'm stalking you, like I asked you to do with me. We have to know each other better, in order to understand each other! I don't mean friend me, or talk to me. I mean... think about it from my perspective. What would you want somebody to do to get into your good graces? Try some things, experiment...

Now The Show Must Go On!
Or... do you think this cover is better for The Show Must Go On

I'm such a drama QUEEN... get it? Queen fans will. Did you know Mr Mercury had extra teeth? :P
Soooo let me know in the comments! Be it about Freddie Mercury and his teeth, or the tunes and which you liked more, or a combination of both... or that you thought Queen has no competition on that tune. It may help your standing in certain criteria!




12/25

And I forgot! Some mood music! Eldritch - The Blackened Day

WL Saves: 58

Blacklisted: 47

Some rules met and on bubble: 10

Rules met: adding to my Whitelist for multiple requirements met: 14

12/21 - So yet another round! Cue the music... as the curtain closes

ROUND 3:

Whitelist saves: 42

Blasklisted from Rules: 23

Spared: 6 ( in other words, not whitelist, but not blacklisted - these will be blacklisted next round… if stalking skillz don’t improve)

Newly whitelisted due to special requirements met: 2

Bad Maths? 1 or 2 extra.... wink

TODAY'S GIVEAWAY! Yakuza 0 (ROW - read giveaway description please)

12/18 - So, another exciting round! Slightly harsher rules, and it looks like some people are catching on... maybe. Keep trying to figure it out!

Results for Round 2B: I like flat chests too, but I prefer them bigger ;)

  • Whitelist Save: 42

  • Blacklisted: 34

  • Was already on Blacklist from Planescape giveaway 2A: 13 (2 3 4 temporary redemptions on recheck)

  • Spared: 31

  • Spared that were added to WL (Special Requirement met): 17

Can you believe it?! Two of you spared yourselves after being blacklisted!! You can enter another round. It can be the next one, the one after.... just be careful you try and make up for your mistake, if you can figure it out. That's what we're going to have to do to gain immunity here.

Of course again, that goes for anyone else that is still around, yet not whitelisted. Mysterious! :3




Wow this is getting to be a long read... I'll keep adding from the top down. ;) More fun that way! Look out for surprises though! :P

Starting at the top now! It is now 12/14 nearly here! Wow, insanity is fun!

PLEASE TAKE NOTE HERE: Mood music

NOTE TO BLACKLISTED PEOPLE!  You may want to bump this for exposure as games roll out so I can fill up my list quicker.  I will probably purge it again when it reaches full capacity.  Just a suggestion!  I'm not guaranteeing anything though...  I will observe, however.

Not many on the blacklist yet! How to advertise more to get people to join!! Too few. If you’re still around, yet not on my whitelist, I hope you can try and find out… why you passed (though it was around 50% that met the requirements needed to join my new bolstered whitelist, in preparation for rule changes, and having that complete immunity now for being a joy in my eyes), or do something to improve your chances to stick around! I’m going to slowly tighten my leash a little as we go, just to give those who have proven their worth a better chance at the tasty treats on the way!

Oh, by the way, since I’m going to be stalking you, I suggest you do the same by stalking me here if you’re trying to get on my good side. What would improve your chances of having immunity? What would make me want to blacklist you? It’s worth trying to figure out how to please me at my game of madness, if you are on the threshold of fail by not being on my whitelist, or if you haven’t participated yet. Just a friendly suggestion! By no means are you required to do any of this ;)

Learn about me with Steam, steamgifts, and your own judgement and heart as your guiding light if you want to take this seriously, and become worthy of the greatness of WINNING! It doesn’t take much effort, and neither does adding somebody to a blacklist. ;)

For those who have fallen from my good graces and are blacklisted: If you feel you have been wronged, and think I am a cruel master, you could also grovel and beg me on Steam for forgiveness. Pleading your case also helps, as to why you think I have made a mistake. I warn you though: I rarely make mistakes, so please make sure you have a clear case to present.

I… did all that I could in my power to save you… while being fair to those who were able to accomplish more, and raise their appreciation level status/morale/affinity bonus in spite of my highly critical and judgemental viewpoint.

Maybe you did not read… Maybe you didn’t do much of anything to improve your situation. Maybe you simply don't care and wanted me to blacklist you, with a shot at a free game to +1. No matter what the choice is... You have to go get what you want! You must give it your all! To win, you have to visualize your plan of attack, and do not hesitate. That is all for now. You will be missed.





Based on the Steamgifts Attrition concept, I found myself thinking, as I am going to be semi-departed, so to speak, and I have soo much to give away yet... What should I do with some of this "stuff"?

I'm going to be creating a massive blacklist because, as a whole, I don't like most of you, and let us be honest: you do not like me.

FIND YOURSELF AND WIN! Someone will win! Brush that fear aside and fight for your true self - your true being...

"You can fold this world... into a shape... a thing that will fit in your mind."

So here is your chance to jump on and also possibly benefit in the process, as it will help me further ostracize myself from the community via cross-blacklisting magic (remember, I can no longer enter your giveaways either once I have you blacklisted, so you cannot lose here - probably), and help you to make a possibly tough choice involving this decision. The games will end when the cap is at its limit.

The rules are simple. You join a created giveaway, and if you stay there upon the end of the giveaway results, you get a blacklist from me as I move through the list of entrants. It isn't lifted. I will continue doing giveaways until I amass the maximum number of allowable blacklist slots on steamgifts. I may only get one in, if the cap is low, but I may add better or worse games over time... so yes, fate is in your hands if you want to play. If you lose, then it's game over!

This is a perfect chance to get onto mine if you dislike me already and want a chance at winning a game. If I'm already on your blacklist, I left a decent amount of time to remove me from your own for cooldowns, and I have also purged my own list completely to start the winter festivities!

Choose wisely, and only if you really think it's worth being on a blacklist that I may never remove you from. No tricks... I doubt I'll be giving much to the community anyway overall, so what is there to lose? Right?! Right?! ;-)

There is a catch: For the lucky of the unlucky that win each game: You may relieve yourself of blacklist status after giveaway ends by both playing a game and writing a review, and sending it my way via Steam. You'll also need to provide proof that you finished the game. If the RNG fails to pick you, and you are an entrant at end of giveaway, and don't meet below exceptions, too bad so sad...

If you do win, and you can provide the goods, you'll have to add me though - unless you want to stay on the list. Of course, the choice is yours and it is optional.

I will be doing giveaways here until I have the maximum amount of users on my blacklist.

There are exceptions to this rule:

  • If you're on my whitelist, you are immune to being blacklisted. I may decide to blacklist you if you do not wish to play the game, or write a review. Probably not, but I also may consider removing you from whitelist, if I was lazy and you got by some of my last few "whitelist filter checks". :D

  • If I am in a group you are also in where blacklisting other members is prohibited, please contact me or do a whitelist check to make sure I do not accidentally blacklist you unfairly, since some rules are allowed on steamgifts in groups here (wow, it's meta-strange to say such things, but that's how we roll here), and some are not.

  • I may also break my own rule and grant immunity in the midst of things - if certain secret requirements are met. There are several ways to attain this status involving multiple parts. You will find them hidden amongst this site if you are curious... But you may not find what you are looking for if you go about searching in the wrong way. Try not to overthink it! Just be a kind person... ;)

  • I also will state that if you want this event to be prolonged, I suggest being careful not to bombard a single giveaway with all the entries required to create a blacklist over-run. The first 1k will be on. Whether it's 1 giveaway, or I go through thousands to get there... Remember, acting as a group to accomplish what you may or may not want here is a nice goal to have - a "singleness of purpose" so to speak.

I will add you to my whitelist to avoid any confusion - if you're in these said groups with certain rules and restrictions I am to abide by, so that'll keep you from getting blacklisted. If you are not on my whitelist, feel free to message here or in steam, once again!

We'll start out small, and get bigger and bigger, like a hot dog, or a pool float, for instance. Or boob implants. Anyway, if you aim to eventually be on my list, choose wisely! I will not keep a schedule, as of yet... haven't thought it through enough.

Without further ado! Round Number One! In case you can't see it, giveaways presented below in the discussion on first comment reply!

Enjoy! Or... don't.

Okay, I moved it to here, since the comments ran it off the page for those who don't see the beginning of the thread, for whatever reasons...

Yep, another fighter...

Melty Blood Actress Again Current Code

The key is in your hands. GO FORTH!!



UPDATED STUFF!! Post-round 1 phase....

12/9/18 - And we start the culling phase... The final results are in! Somebody off my whitelist won!

  • Whitelist saves: 26

  • Blacklisted: 60

  • Spared by virtue of my secret rule(s): 35



UPDATED STUFF!! The breakdown for round 2 results...

12/14/18 - Round two is over... Results are here!

  • Whitelist saves: 33

  • Blacklisted: 46

  • Spared: 34



(From 12/9 below)

- New members added to my WL meeting enough special conditions : 17

If you are new to my whitelist... well, you did something right as I was checking the entrants...
If you find you entered, didn't win, and can enter another giveaway, pat yourself on the back, since you have met a secret requirement!
If you decide to go onwards, study me carefully. I am a stalker. I want to know about you, and I want you to be involved with me.
That is all - the rest will be the same.

There is one more thing: If you meet more than one of my secret requirements this next round, I will be adding you to my whitelist. Check the whitelist check - and shameless promotion of a badass group on steamgifts each round to find out if you are in!

That's right - I'm promoting! How you like that, steamgifts?! I'm such a rule-breaking rebel!

For those who are blacklisted, I am sorry about that. Good luck with your steamgifts entries, and I wish you Godspeed!
We were just incompatible. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

AGAIN:

Our first round was: Evil Genome

Our new second round is: Planescape Torment: Enhanced Edition.

Round 2B was: Injustice™ 2

Round 3: Melty Blood Actress Again Current Code

Round 4: Yakuza 0 (ROW - read giveaway description please)

Could a theme be developing here? The plot thickens!

Thanks for playing! Please prepare for the next goodie bag as we roll onwards with the blacklist - it hungers for more souls!

This one will be a little shorter, ending around December 13/14 early hours. I had too much time to try to anxiously anticipate how things would go...

Should you enter if you are missing this great game? In order to beat the enemy, you must think like the enemy.

Happy rest of your holidays everyone!

Part of the art of stalking as well - yes... indeed. As there are more than one way to define death, there is also other metaphorical ways to read.

Oh there are answers! That is a certainty. However, since I throw some variables in from time to time to throw off anyone trying to shadow what I'm doing... and by using weight system on my checks and balances that may be subject to change per giveaway (filters for whitelist and blacklist) it makes it a very difficult game, even though the base concepts are all very similar and related somehow to the creator.

Injustice 2 - Level 2+

Same rules apply! NOT!!

Well, yes, they do... but not necessarily.

It's hard to read such vague text, just as it's hard to read vague rules. Really sucks... Point 7.

Well... it's not too tough after the lyme thread, and a couple of others I had going with group stuff... until I decided to close those (because I want to "Go big or go home." and "If you ain't first, you're last". as Ricky Bobby would say). No point if I can't use my curation links... fuck building the group... curators need followers - just being blunt. I mean... the bigger that number is, the better chances I get developers in that I can promote for the greater good of my following!

I mean, in the end I need results for working on it, but... I still am in it for the right reasons. Informing the community of great games - gems, or good adult games, depending on which curation it is... They need to know, and I aim to provide the service - it's work... people think it's easy but you have to play it, and then write an honest review. Not something that just happens automatically. Anyone who thinks reviewing games and curating is easy... try it for real! It's not all it's cracked up to be. I'd be doing a million other things if I wasn't sick... but this fits me right now with my health conditions....

Anyway:

If you ain't first... You're last!

I am very sorry that I had to blacklist you. It's possible to get out, but you'd have to figure me out to figure out how to get out. And... I can't really hint much. Check around steamgifts and my profile. If you can find something to improve things a bit, I might be able to get you away from the list... but it takes some homework to find out the answers. And, that's very vague. Sorry I cannot explain further.

Diggin' it so far! Tasteful metal, though I am not as into death/black/extreme as I was once, when I hosted my own blackmetal channel on mIRC - Thank you - late reply I know... but I get to you all eventually. I care. :)

Each of you needs a response, if I can help not missing it. Just things get stacked - and I got suspended for 3 days... for something that wasn't even a real rule, so how do I break something that doesn't exist? That's where the abuse of power comes in...

Unfortunately I and many others have been victimized by this... and it has to stop somewhere. I'll be adding more to the bugs/suggestions thread soon. I want progress and change. That's all... Better systems. Not ignorance, and uncaring assholes around... It's a simple realization that we can do better, and if we fight together, we will make changes happen - positive changes that help us all... as a unit! :)

And... that song just got better the more I listened to it. Reminded me of Opeth/Porcupine Tree mixed... or some shit. Crazy!

Have you heard Deadwing by chance? No harsh vocals in it, but it has that... feel I'm trying to describe, along with an Opeth-esque vibe. Especially the first few Opeth albums. :P
