I'm sorry to disappoint everyone, including myself, but after thinking this over for a bit I have decided to delete the giveaways I have been making the last couple of days. I'm posting this thread for full disclosure, to let everyone know what happened and why it happened.

I had a lot of fun making the puzzles and a lot of people have told me they enjoyed solving them as well, but unfortunately some assholes decided to ruin everyone's fun by leaking the answers to the puzzles and even direct links to the giveaways themselves. To be honest I was afraid of this from the start, but I hoped I could count on the honesty and integrity of the SG community. Apparently, I was wrong. Like so often, a few bad apples have ruined it for everyone else. Deleting the giveaways is a very drastic measure, but since there is no way to identify everyone who abused this leak this is the only fair solution I can think of.

I have proof of these leaks if any admin needs to confirm it, but I'm not posting it here to prevent a witch hunt, and to protect the person who informed me about this.

I will think about this for a while and come up with an alternative way to do these giveaways that will hopefully prevent leaks such as this.

I'll edit this post later to show the correct answers to all the puzzles, just like I promised. For those who want to try the puzzles for fun (there will be no prize unfortunately), here they are:
The first one.
The second one.
The third one.
The fourth one.

Aww, so sorry to hear this. It's a shame some a$$holes want to ruin other people's fun... Well, those were still pretty fun puzzles, and you clearly put some thought and effort (even if not much, lol paint) into them... Hopefully your next puzzles will go better :(

Well that's exactly what I'm trying to tell these people, but they don't listen to me >_>. I kept the overall design of my old avatar, but this one represents my improved drawing skills. I mean come on, I had drawn the previous avatar like a year ago, how could it possibly be better than this one??

Unfortunately this happened on an external forum, so theres no way to see what Steam/SteamGifts accounts belong to the cheaters.

Maybe that guy used the same name there as here. Maybe you can somehow find him and get him suspended, else he could leak more puzzles.

I'm sorry for you, it was a nice puzzle.

I've seen it happen twice so far, both times on some Russian forum. Maybe it's the same guy?

That's a bastard thing to do, I can't believe there are still people out there that ruin everyone else's fun like this :( What is the point? Now the giveaways are gone and everyone else has to suffer. Honestly, the info should be given to staff and that asshole (or plural) should be removed from the site.

However, since it's over now (Max Payne 3... oh man..) can you PLEASE, for the love of God and all that is holy, tell us who #8 was in the fourth giveaway? I got every other answer from the previous puzzles and this one, but #8 annoyed the hell out me! Please, put me out my misery; who the hell is/was it? :P
