Birthday Celebration: Internet-🎂s are a lie! (2017 Edition)

This is an archived Event, nothing is going on here anymore.

Introduction
June 10th is my birthday, until then: it's time to celebrate!

Generally don't celebrate anything birthday-related, other than getting myself a chocolate cake (if at all) and that's about it. So this makes for a nice change. Even tho it costs me a lot more than a chocolate cake...

A honorable mention goes to SteamGifts support team who have to put up with quite some incidents and accidents over time, thanks for the extra slots to make this work as well!

Planned
Planned were a giveaway of 30+ games (if everything works out fine).
In the first round 63 copies and 13 unique games were given away already!
Second round had 12 copies and 11 unique games being given away (10 unique games if you factor in unique games of 1st round)!
In the third round there were 59 copies and 10 unique games (8 unique games if you factor in unique games of 1st round and 2nd round)!
Fourth round had 59 copies and 6 unique games (5 unique games if you factor in unique games from 1st to 3rd round)!
That is a total of 193 copies and 36 unique games so far!
As planned at least 30 unique games have been given away and a whooping 193 copies total!

Timetable
The dates aren't set in stone, but let me try laying it down for general understanding:

• Round 1 - 12th to 17th May: 1st batch of 5 public giveaways & 5 invite-only giveaways.
• Round 2 - 17th to 28th May: 2nd batch of public/invite-only giveaways.
• Round 3 - 28th May to 2nd June: 3rd batch of public/invite-only giveaways.
• Round 4 - 2nd June to 10th June: The grand prize everyone has been waiting for will be added! 4th batch of public/invite-only giveaways.
  After everyone received their prizes thread will be closed after 10th June... at some point.

All times and dates are germany-based, see this for reference: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/germany
Giveaways end mid day (12:00 on a 24h clock) and it takes about 1 hour to process everything, if i'm around my computer at time of end date. Grand Prizes take longer due to the nature of how they are being aquired.

Rules
How to participate in each of these giveaways?

1. Follow the general 2 rules of SteamGifts:
   • no multiple wins
   • all wins have to be activated on your own account
   • these will be checked via sgtools.info for every winner prior to giving a prize.
2. Otherwise it depends on the specific giveaway, these are planned:
   • Public: Meet level requirement, that's it.
   • Invite-only/through sgtools.info: No level requirement, just follow a link from this thread (don't leak it outside!) and meet "1." (first) rule to enter.
   • Group-only: Playing Appreciated group (for most of the grand prizes), with level requirement. See this for more info: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/playing-appreciated (link to apply is found on the right side).
   • Whitelist: For those who i have won games from. (for another grand prize). Additional people might be added to whitelist in case the 5 minimum entries weren't fulfilled around end of giveaway.
3. Concerning the grand prize(s):
   • 3 of the 5 winners will have to be in my friend list to receive their reward. If you win add me as friend or wait for my friend request on Steam. Declining (hitting "Ignore" or "Block") this friend request 3 times (1 time for block or combination thereof) will be handled as if the winner is giving up their prize.

Additional Notes
Level requirement will be Lv.2-4 for each bundled game giveaway that was intended with one. Grand Prize inside group will be Lv.4, without level requirement on whitelist.
The quality of games given away will start from worst and gradually become better with each batch, peaking in the grand prize which is the highest quality game and also the most expensive of all of them (and no it was never bundled before). Level requirement will increase accordingly.

While i don't expect it, everyone is free to contribute and do their own giveaways pointing back to this thread.
I will try to include all giveaways active & past that were dedicated to this thread in a table (after mention & link in your giveaway, leave a comment with link to giveaway, to be added in table).

Active Giveaways

Giveaways for this event are over, thanks for everyone who wished me happy birthday, bumped the thread, participated in the giveaways, made their own giveaways in dedication to this event, gave me birthday presents of their own and most importantly, partying with me. ^^

Past Giveaways

Too Long Didn't Read (TL:DR)
Look at the "Active Giveaways" table, check back often.
Good luck to everyone and have fun!
