Your steam profile seems to be private so we cannot verify your playtime. Please set it to public so we can verify and confirm you are playing the game :)

Sorry about that. Had my profile down as public but there was a separate checkbox for game time info which I hadn't noticed. Should be fine now, tested it out with an incognito browser window.

It is my first time participating in this event so I want to thank you all. As a fairly new member of this community I can say that I am just discovering SG and you guys are giving a solid effort to make this place better. Respect!

This month was tough so that I could finish only 2 games - The Coma 2: Vicious Sisters and Replica. I hope in December I will contribute to the stats more than that :) Stay safe and have fun folks!

well does it fit next month? Because if it does and you have enough playtime since Nov 29th midnight UTC then you can add it there ;)

Incoming noobish question alert...
How would that work, exactly? (For instance, I had hoped to beat Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice this month, but only got about 3/4 of the way through. It looks like it would fit December's theme as well, but would that count if I only played 25% of the game for that month?)

As far as i'm aware, you can put any game on the event, if it's not finished like 90% (there is comments from mods with exactly same words, but they are pretty old and I'm too lazy now to search them).
So if you say you're finished game for 75%, I guess it would be fine for the next event. But don't take my comment as a last word. I'm a just a regular member.

It's a bit a case by case desicion (when in doubt you can always ask). Basically if you have a game with HLTB of 2h and you have already 1h and 55min played that will obviously not count. You come with the same game and about 1h played no problem. Rule of thumb is normally about to have at least 10% left of the game.

And for the how just simply put in the time/achievments you got before the new month started in the time/achievments before the event. This way only new playtime and achievments will get counted.

Looking at your achievments you still have some stuff left, so feel free to add it to Dec. It's a great game and I enjoyed it a lot

Ah, gotcha. Thanks for the explanation, samwise, and I'll list Hellblade for December, then. I'm loving it so far, but just recently moved and hadn't been able to play it nearly as much as I had intended. (I also tend to be a lot slower in finishing games than the HLTB times, especially with this one since it's so easy to just lose yourself in the stunning scenery.) :D

Sorry for the delay. I meant to post my results on December 1st, but I have been forgetful. P

Civlization III Complete: 21.5 hours (no achievements)
Civilization IV The Complete Edition: 25.2 hours (no achievements)
Kentucky Route Zero: 11.9 hours (21 achievements)

As a reminder, I participate in these events unofficially as a way to promote my playing my wins, so I do not plan to enter the giveaway(s).
