To put it simply, I'm looking to broaden my whitelist, and what better way to do it than by stealing some of my fellow steamgifters' ideas with one of 'em pesky puzzles.
Anyway, I'm doing this partially because I feel there are still some awesome people out there that have somehow eluded getting a spot on my WL, despite my best efforts to not miss anyone that qualifies, and partially because I have 3 dozens WL giveaways for some very cheap bundle games (that, despite their low monetary value, I think are better than most of the games that come from similarly priced bundles) and half of them haven't reached 5 entries yet even though there's less than a day left until they all end.

With that out of the way, I made a small jigdi that will hardly prove to be a challenge, leading to a private giveaway for another cheap game, this time from Humble Bundle.
Feel free to comment anything interesting/funny/controversial here, whether with words, pictures or both. I will put a little more focus on the comments from the private giveaway, but I'll add to my whitelist anyone that comments something nice on either places (as long they don't have an atrocious ratio - partiularly if they've been on the site for a long time - or appear on my 'naugthy list' for whatever reason). And since I mentioned that, I might as well add that I'm more than happy to remove from my blacklist any and all who are willing to offer me their souls in exchange ask nicely, unless I added you on my BL for reasons that I actually remember and I'm not willing to argue over (in which case, I'm sorry, but that's how things have to be).

Here are the cheap giveaways I was talking about, in Chart format (my first time trying it, hence the title):

Which one of the reasons I listed for making this thread do you think is more important to me?

View Results
First one
Second one
The non-existent thrid one, because I'm edgy like that. Also, hl3 confirmed.. oh, wait

Reserved.
Let me know if I made any mistakes / you have any suggestions.

EDIT: We have 120 jigdi solvers so far, out of which I'm not sure how many actually made it to the private GA. With 40 comments on that, I'm going to assume at least out of the jigdi solvers managed to solve the final puzzle (if you can call it that). For something that I came up with in under a minute, I'd say that's pretty good. Either that or I worded the hint poorly. So, as requested, I will provide another
HINT: other than the provided description at the end of the jigdi, the question marks also stand for a representation of the first year in the 16th century in roman numerals.
As a side note, the poll results turned out pretty much just as I expected, thought I didn't suspect option 3 would be picked by over 80% of voters. Goes to show just how popular hl3 is, I guess...

I just spotted a mistake by taking a quick look at the chart. Luxor 2 (2 Copies) leads to a deleted GA. I guess it was supposed to be Luxor 2 HD.

That's precisely why I put in the 'oh wait' part. Oh well, looks like it was too subtle.

Judging by how many people made it tp comment on the private GA, I'd say it's easy enough. It was just something I came up with in the spur of the moment.
If there are further complaints about the difficulty, I guess I'll add a hint later. The GA ends 3 days later than the ones in the chart.

Well, the games I'm giving away at the moment aren't that good. Also, I think your puzzle had slighly less pieces and your picture was easily more recognizable too, though I still like mine a lot. If you ever get some catnip boost moore energy, feel free to solve it anytime. Already whitelisted you, so the only GA you can't enter atm would be the private one.

Ah, thank you very much. I will most likely not enter any of the giveaways, I am currently in the process of trying to fix this awful ratio of mine. I'll probably end up solving it later on, I remember I used to enjoy doing jigidi before my long break.

Hm, don't remember them being a thing for a long time. Unless you're exaggerating the meaning of 'long break'.

A year a bit was my 'long break'. They were a thing back then too.

Thanks for the nice chart. :)

I'm a huge fan of Mr. G. House and I'm ashamed to admit it took me longer than it should have to get that hint. lol
