For some reason, my last topic was closed down; marked as spam. Well, this is a giveaway. Stating that clearly here.

A few ground rules:
I. I want you to fail.
II. I'll probably only give hints if there are no entries.
III. www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/?????
IV. Giveaway starts at 5 PM CST, Friday, Feb. 10 and ends 5 PM CST, Friday, Feb. 17. Solutions will be posted shortly afterwards.
V. Proof for those non-believers.

Hints:
a) We follow the right-hand rule in America. Using your right hand determines positive and negative directions. North is positive, south is negative. East is positive, West is negative
b) Cancer and Capricorn have this in common. Line of LATITUDE
c) There's an entire universe to search. Wikisky link
d) It's always in the middle of the box. Default Wikisky coordinates place a box around the object

  1. 7:03:12.0 AM, 8°20'S, 35°16'E
  2. 11:18:55.9 AM, 13°05′N, 44°16'E
  3. d3
  4. f4
  5. 1:12:55.3 PM, 18°10′N, 89°16'W

Edit - separated hints from rules, for clarity.

In honor of my first win, I hid a second giveaway on this thread. It will end at 5 PM CST, Monday, Feb. 20. The game is Greed Corp.

Solutions:
1, 2, and 5 are star coordinates. The longitude is added to throw you off.
1 becomes 7h 03m 12.0s, -8°20'. Plugging those coordinates into the Wikisky link gives you the location of a Messier number.
The Messier numbers decode through hex to become the url.
3 and 4 are just replaced by their respective alphabetical or numerical equivalent. d becomes 4, 3 becomes c. Hence d3 = 4c, f4 = 6d. These are also decoded through hex.

All i understood is the word "giveaway", everything else seems complicated to me.

Btw, you should hint the community to what game you are leading them to get from this... if it's something that everyone and their mother has like portal or something like skyrim that alot of people want and QQ for that.

If I understand correctly, he hinted at it (I'm not sure if it's the original game or one of the sequels, though).

well, got 1, 2, & 5, although not sure which to capitalize. Need to figure out 3-4 so I can start permutation for different case sets.

If you do it right, they should come out capitalized or lowercase :)

This looks like a challenging puzzle. I even have clue where to start. No idea why, but now I feel exhausted or sort of burnt-out so may be will try it out next week. Just wanted to drop by and say thanks for designing it!
