So here's the deal:
I've made 3 public GAs to get rid of some excess bundle keys in the past 2 weeks. There's a challenge hidden in plain sight in those GAs. .

Anyone who figures it out and participates before the last GA ends (= somewhere Friday the 11th) will get a temporary spot on my whitelist. I'll build the whitelist sometime after the last GA ends. Don't know what time I'll get around to sorting that out, so even if the GA has ended you might be able to sneak in - I'm not going to be picky.

Once that's done, I'll create a bunch of whitelist GAs.

Why post here at all ? Because:
a) People who are acitve on the forums instead of only looking at public GA's deserve a head's up
b) Most of the people from previous point probably already picked up the games involved at some point, so they'd never see the public GAs
c) I couldn't make my mind up on what I'd give away, so I let the poll decide.


Update on the poll: It's served it's purpose, further votes will be ignored. Long version in this post http://www.steamgifts.com/go/comment/z1fP1Nq. Short version, the whitelist GAs will be a few of my presonal recommendations.


Update on the GAs:
No more teasing, find out if you qualify by clicking these links:

What should the price be ?

View Results
1. A single new game (released after July 9th) that fits in my budget, but which'll probably have to be bought at full price.
2. A small handful of games that I'd personally recommend and that I can pick up for a good price (via bundle or sale)
3. Anything I can grab for a euro or less, similar to my event from half a year ago (see http://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/RH0HO/)
4. As many copies as I can get from some game with mostly negative reviews (Not bad rats)
5. The Potato answer. (And because I'm tired of the whole potato thing, these will count as option 4.)

Oh, and if you do vote option 1, feel free to reply to this post with suggestions

... not exactly how the challenge was intended, but I'll count it as close enough ;)

also as a bump, and as a subtle hint

Maybe.. maybe... the GA is a lie and someone's trying to drive us crazy :-)
I'll keep telling myself that, otherwise I would be forced to accept my inability to figure it out.

Thanks for the heads up, but I'm pretty bad at guessing things in plain sight :/
Also I would like to eat a potato right now. With tuna.

That kinda makes me sad. If you would say something like It's hidden deeply I would get to terms with myself and my lacking skills to find it. BUT you said it's hidden poorly so I should be able to easily find it, yet I can't. I probablly overthink it as usual ;_;

I know that feel but sometimes It's worth to give it a try, many times I fail, but when I actually find gibs or other clues it's kinda rewarding itself :) One time I even bruteforced some table, checking about 100 links :D

i usually fail... i can't even get an answer or maybe i'm stuck with 1 for eternity (yeah, i'm extra stubborn) -_-
sometimes i leave and come back later, but if i have to start bruteforcing, that's when i quit forever. xD

also sometimes i see what's the GA game and i just skip it. not saying the games offered are bad, they aren't just for me.

Well, when I leave to come back later i usually forget about it and open puzzle bookmark few hours after GA end :P

Yeah, I totally feel you on that thing. Some games just aren't interesting for some people, that's totally normall, I guess most of people on SG that lurks forum skips GAs for games that doesn't look interesting for them :P

it's not a puzzle, it's a challenge!
This time around there really are no hidden links, dirty tricks or weird logic to figure out.

Although, there's only 17 people who've met the challenge so far. I guess I'm getting good at hiding things in plain sight.

Update: I'm going to freeze the poll here. Results seem pretty clear, and have been stable for most of the past week, so time to plan for the whitelist GA's.

Results at this time:


2 A small handful of games that I'd personally recommend and that I can pick up for a good price (via bundle or sale)
76(65%)

1 A single new game (released after July 9th) that fits in my budget, but which'll probably have to be bought at full price.
30(26%)

4 As many copies as I can get from some game with mostly negative reviews (Not bad rats) +
5 The Potato answer. (And because I'm tired of the whole potato thing, these will count as option 4.)
7(6%) + 3(3%) = 10(9%)

3 Anything I can grab for a euro or less, similar to my event from half a year ago (see http://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/RH0HO/)
1(1%)


So multiple personal recommendations it will be.

Also, 10 people wanting awful games ? I really might have to do something with that in the future.

Bump. Managed to snag 6 games for the whitelist GAs.

Also, 30 people completed the challenge so far, with about 2 days remaining.
If you need more hints, look at the comments in the GAs...
