Are you going to solve this?
I really have no clue, but I'm not giving up. I'm gonna carry on!

Probably not, I'd know if you did. There's quite a few pieces out there.
Comment has been collapsed.
Great.... At least for me it seems it's all level 2, so I ain't even try :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Huh ... I thought I made that one a lot harder than it appears to have been. Maybe it was just because it was 2 am when I made it. xD

You've got some great looking giveaways there! Hope the usual puzzle-busters can help you get your precious CV.
Edit: Step 1 complete.
Comment has been collapsed.
Just bash your head against a wall some more, I'm sure you'll get it eventually!
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't if i did the "where" and that is a link... and if i can't get into it... (I have a bug that does not allow me go into some webiste... xx) So idk if that is it... ..

Try a different web browser?
Which one do you use?
Comment has been collapsed.
Since I managed to solve the original version of this as well, I will try to solve this too! Let's go :D
Comment has been collapsed.
It's not nearly as devilishly simplistic, I went more the complicated route. Hopefully I did good, it's my first puzzle.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well. We'll see. I probably will end up giving up anyway but I'm gonna try at least :)
Comment has been collapsed.
No giving up, I need at least 5. Don't make me handhold!
Comment has been collapsed.
Plus, the games that are there aren't all that's to come, I have ... 4+ more to put up.
Comment has been collapsed.
To be honest, I didn't even care anymore because I was so into playing a game. I don't know, I might look around to find stuff in the near future.
Comment has been collapsed.
...I'm just too tired to try to solve it x_x Well, at least currently.
Also, leave me alone >.< I'll get to it, stop being so annoying! :D
plz don't take me that seriously, thank youu ~

begins sobbing uncontrollably from being called annoying

Naww. That's.. not what I intended to do. Please forgive me! ಥ_ಥ
Comment has been collapsed.
Alright :( Guess there's no reason anymore for me to solve the puzzle now, is there? :P

unblacklists
Now you must solve it, I forgot that the penalty of starting and not finishing is death by (insert implausible way to die here).
Comment has been collapsed.
D:
I.. I will get right back to it. After I've slept.
Seriously though, I will deal with it tomorrow.
Comment has been collapsed.
I just started again or continued or whatever and well.. let's just say that I'm not a fan of maths but I'll still try it.
Edit: Never mind, I got the first step somehow but eh, now I just need to figure out what that means... I have still now clue what the correct system for number two is but I just needed two tries to get it right, weird.
Edit 2: Nah, not stuck, I'm giving up.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, I gotta be honest, first of all I have no idea what to do next and secondly, well, the only game I'm interested in is Tales from the Borderlands and I'm getting that anyway now, so there's not really a point in solving that puzzle anymore :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, I'm trying to get the Telltale bundle. But I have no money ... so it all depends on when my friend gets out of the hospital to pay me for the work I did for him while he was in the hospital ... which ... hmm ... sounds extremely selfish ... but ... uhm ... kittens!
Comment has been collapsed.
Haha don't worry about that, I understand what you mean. :)
Fingers crossed for it to work out like that!
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, so far there are 2 3 people on Step 2 of the instructions. I must bid you farewell for I have work (bleh). I'll see you in a several hours! (Also, feel free to post whatever questions you may have here!)
Comment has been collapsed.
I said you can ask, never said I would answer. :P
But the answers are around, just gotta SEARCH for them. ;D
Comment has been collapsed.
I know that feel... (same for me, but not trying it for a while)
EDIT: Q5 left
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmm... thought I finally had Q1 figured out, but nope, that ain't it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Q1 is pretty straighforwards, Q5 takes a little more reverse thinking.
Comment has been collapsed.
No point in finding them if you can't answer them. I'm close to giving up. :P
Comment has been collapsed.
No ... giving up is now allowed. The penalty for giving up is death by post-it notes!
Comment has been collapsed.
I solved the How, so it's something! Still stuck on the Where though.
Comment has been collapsed.
That.. sounds like a horrible death, but so be it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well ... uhm ...
outlaws the death penalty
Okay ... the worst you can get is life in prison without parole. But, I don't know, the judges in my country of Mushland are pretty lenient. They're all pretty soft to be honest.
Comment has been collapsed.
Time to start searching for answers. So many questions. Btw Nice start with the countdown off by one day ;) With an announcement like that you probably intrigued most of the puzzle solvers on SG
Comment has been collapsed.
I hope so, had to start it a day early as I was afraid I would have to work tomorrow, but now I don't, so I can stay here and be your tormento- I mean ... uhm ... helper.
Comment has been collapsed.
I read that as pizzas
there are mo pizzas. it's raining. no food. send help. I need to download pizza.
Comment has been collapsed.
Have a super early Halloween one!
Comment has been collapsed.
Not my level, but having some fun.
Do not know what to do with these 3 things.
Comment has been collapsed.
All solvers will still go on my Whitelist, if I get at least one Level 1 I'll make a smaller Level 1 Whitelist giveaway!
Comment has been collapsed.
Agh, trying my luck and wits with puzzles on this site for the first time! Took some time to understand but now I need to know what to do with all this (like previous guy :D). Maybe I will get hooked on these puzzles. I just have the feeling that I need to solve this! :D
Comment has been collapsed.
This really is fiendish trickery! I have used my brain more than before, I think it is trying to guess what this is and why do I torture it. But if feels good, thank you Sir :) I think that I solved the first bunch of questions and used the given thing to some other thing. But what will I do with the new thing? Weird.
Comment has been collapsed.
Sounds like you have the What, now just Where to put it, eh?
Comment has been collapsed.
I am definitely stuck on Q5 of 5Ws! Why?! I just don't know!
Comment has been collapsed.
I searched and i think i found 3 "things", but now.... bah this is driving me nuts! I can't find the questions! XD
Are we looking for some code that leads to some website that will show us that it's too hard, and then we give up? (coff. . . coff) Or should i give up just now? Because i'm certainly not a genius. ^.^
I already tried things that involved converting certain things and making equations with it! Please just kill mehh! (or slap me multiple times and then tell me that it's very simple this first part) XD
I burned my brain in this tonight. . . i'll go recharge now. . . tomorrow I attack again. . . or maybe not XD
Comment has been collapsed.
Nah ... some parts are simple, but others are complicated. I didn't want it to be too easy.
Comment has been collapsed.
This puzzle is a great way to break my mind! Tried thinking it through the first 5 hours, then started banging my head into the wall for yet another hour without any success. After that I tried figuring it out without thinking, which got me just as far as thinking did!
Either way I'll assume that it's a real puzzle and not just a way to mess with people, and continue trying to figure it out tomorrow morning!
Comment has been collapsed.
I already made the GAs for it, and I spent hours thinking about what to do. So, no, I don't think this is just to mess with people. (Or is it?)
Comment has been collapsed.
Alright, I edited the ITH puzzles a bit to make them more clear, I also found an error in one of the questions so I fixed that, hopefully you guys can solve it now!
I promise I won't make these puzzles at 2 am ever again!
Comment has been collapsed.
Why oh why can't I?
It is a bit different than the other questions isn't it?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, and I see I'm the only one who's still stuck. :P

Status Report: We're about 12 hrs in, only a handful have found the How puzzle, most of which have solved it. It doesn't appear anyone knows what to do with it yet.
Comment has been collapsed.
I would also like to point out that you can help each other! I'm not disallowing it, I encourage it in fact!
Comment has been collapsed.
will have to wait for a (more helpful) hint on Q5 on where
Comment has been collapsed.
Seeing as Where is supposed to be the easiest part.
Think: not heterosexual talking devices (but as one word)
Comment has been collapsed.
And suddenly a light at the end of the tunnel. Survivors are starting to appear. We still don't know if they won or lost, but at least they are alive.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm considering making the Where ITH easier to find, cause I intended for it to be the easiest part. Might make it so you don't have to SOLVE the How ITH, but you will still have to find it. :P
EDIT: My friend made some GAs for the event for me and he's complaining that not enough people will find them.
Comment has been collapsed.
13 people found the How, 7 people found the Where. Only 12 hours have passed. Impatience :P
Comment has been collapsed.
I know ... but the Where GAs aren't all that great. Those GAs are mostly just the gateway to my whitelist ... if you have the What that is.
Comment has been collapsed.
Just started a while ago. So far good, but right now thinking about the Where. Maybe I'm out of brain capacity from the other stuff :D
Comment has been collapsed.
I've been told this was easier than Mecorx's puzzle, so I'm sure you can do it!
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm at work right now (not with the puzzle, my "real" work :D), but I looked it over and got an idea - bam! Only need to figure out that Where Q5 that everyone else was having trouble with.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for having faith in me :D I'll give it another go soon, when I have less to do at work.
Tried a few things that I thought could have been a match, but they weren't. I've read all the hints, but not sure what to make of them so far (even "decoding" the "encrypted" hint didn't really point me in any direction) . Everything else went smooth :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Sounds like you may have passed Step 2 and found the What, just looking for the Where?
Comment has been collapsed.
Exactly. I am (or, at least I like to think I am - it all seems to have worked out very well) done with everything except the last of the five W:s of the Where (Why) - the same that everyone else got stuck on :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, that one was a lot trickier than I anticipated.
Comment has been collapsed.
It was a hard one, but not impossible. I read the already available hints again and gave it another go.
Comment has been collapsed.
i am exactly here now. Found all puzzles, solved how and what, stuck on q5 where. I'm probably WAY overthinking this one, tried a lot, but alas: no success yet.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, hello people of SteamGifts, you seem to have found yourselves in the middle of a rather puzzling puzzle, or at least I hope it is!
Now there are 3 reason why I have done this:
Because I felt like it. (I swear I had a better third reason, maybe I'll remember it later)I changed my mind, my 3rd reason is that I don't have a reason. I don't need a reason to give. Cliche ftw!So, without further ado, here is the puzzle!
EDIT: Almost forgot this most appropriate giveaway!
EDIT:
Have a few more (these end in 2 days)! 1 2ENDED!EDIT: And here's another one! ;D Click
The instructions are rather simple. All you have to do is search for three things!
If you do everything right, you will go on my whitelist!
You get one week (August 31, Noon CST)!
Geniuses: 22
Genius Train!
Hints! (I'll probably release one every day!)
Prizes!
To come:
Well that's all of the giveaways! Still got some time to get on my whitelist and enter them though!
I made this fairly difficult because I put a lot of work into this puzzle and a lot more work into getting the prizes, so please don't let me down!
All of the giveaways start on August 26th, Noon CST and end on September 2nd, Noon CST; because reasons. They're also all level 2+!
Hmm ... what else ... ahh! I will help out from time to time (yes I do like CV so I will be trying to get at least 5 people into each of the GAs!)
Also not all of the GAs have been created yet as I ran out of slots, so hopefully more to come! (Maybe support will help me out?)
Oh yes, one last thing! Good luck!
P.S. I did kind've "borrow" some other person's ideas for this, but he said he was totally cool with it!
