[EDIT]
@Faloperito made a super mega --> Google Spreadsheet <---
I'm really greatfull for his help and ideia. you can check the original --> comment here <--
Use the file tocheck what words have been used and what games were given away. (Still in Beta :), let us know if you find any bug)
[/EDIT]

I had nothing to so I had the idea to start a community game. I don't know if will make an impact, or if its gonna be funny! Worst case scenario, the community gets 3 giveaways from me :)

The idea of the community game is to make a game of words, similar to the Rate The Person Above You: Steam Profile Edition, but with giveaways.
I'll start the game with 4 comments, someone take it from there.


Rules:

  • Take the word from the previous comment.
  • Create an invite only(lvl 1-3) (ending in 6 or 7 days from the creation date.) giveaway that has something to do with the word mencioned in the last comment.
  • You can obfuscate your link with somekind of bot protection if you want. Since the 1000 bot accounts that exist will probably just start entering all the giveaways in this thread in 2/3 days... We can't do nothing to prevent that.
  • Try to use a word you know has some options. For example, use the word "Magic" instead of "Harry Potter" :)
  • You can explain why you are giving away, the game, or why you associated your giveaway with the previous word. You can go ahead and write whatever you want in your comment, as long as you enunciate what is the next word on the board and create the giveaway :)
  • Try not to comment if you are not participating, so we can have a organized flow of comments links and new words. Unless you want to help the game and give a BUMP, in that case just comment "BUMP" so the person scrolling trought the comments knows its just a bump and not a "participation"
  • You can go ahead and create various giveaways per comment, but try to keep it inside the "word". Of course, do whatever you want, we are not a dictactorship :) if you feel like it, post whatever you want, as long as you are trying to participate in the community
    * I will close the thread when the last giveaway ended and no new giveaway is posted in the 7 days after that
  • Try to come up with a fun word or a hard word, whatever you think will be the most fun to create a giveaway with :)

Other "Rules"

  • Go ahead and comment with 2 or 3 words if you want to give options to the next person.
  • Cmon! don't use "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" or use it, but give other word option too.
  • You commented at the same time of other person? No problem! :) the next person will have more word options for their giveaway. Don't Sweat it
  • Please dont spam the thread with replies to the "participating comments" asking "why im on your blacklist?", "Please, explain what you said on the other thread", "Epic/steam/ubisoft/EA is Evil", "the devs of this giveaway game are Evil people and deserve to burn"! Lets try to keep the participations flowing, there are other threads you can use to have intense discussions/vents.
  • Go ahead and give me your rule ideas when participating.
  • Last word was hard? tell us how you connected it to your giveaway! we want to know :)

Hope we manage to organize this :)

I'm not english native, so my english is probably bad, I did my best to explain the concept. hope you all understand the game :) have fun SG community

If this type of game was ever done on SG, give me a heads up, so i can link the original idea here.

In Rebel Inc: Escalation you have to stop the insurgents from seizing power. And where there are insurgents, there is usually an ultimatum. Or two. There's a lot of politics on the table, for sure.

Well, if The Hobbit's world isn't a fantasy one, I don't know what is :D

Here to a little train with Lego The Hobbit and its DLCs. The DLCs end a few hours after the maing game, so if the main game winner is fast enough in claiming their key, they might be able to enter the DLCs, too.

First, thanks for the contribution. Indeed it's a godly cover, I always thought it was magnificent.

Second, I already have the game, I am not going to enter the giveaway.

But, I'm curious, because this "anti-bot measure" got me puzzled. Seeing that it only has 3 entries, I guess more people have this problem? I've tried even roman numerals in all case combinations.

Edit: just after posting that a new idea popped suddenly in my head and entered the giveaway page at first try.

Yes, that was my "aha!" moment.

Not as a negative criticism, just a side comment in general. I've seen in the last months a spike in anti-bot measures that are increasingly hard for humans. I think I can include myself in there when I was doing weekly giveaways and maybe a couple weren't as obvious as I thought; but I also see them in normal threads like Positive thread, No Bots thread, Orphan keys, many more to mention, or even here. They stay midway between simple anti-bot stuff, and puzzles that bend your mind - because they are seemingly simple yet you can't get to the right answer. I think it's not bad by itself, but depending on the context, some kinda cross the line as not obvious to you humans when they should be IMHO. This is all subjective and this is just my opinion on the subjective subject. They just need to be enough so us bots don't get them unless we're really advanced SteamgiftsGPT bots.

But when we rule the earth, we'll spare your life because your avatar is so cute.

I understand what you mean, and to be honest, that's exactly why I chose something less intuitive. I don't know what new bots are out there, but I can't rule out some of them having more advanced AI as of late, so I wanted something that is easy enough but is above current AI's reasoning capabilities. AI may be able to guess the number, but not the letter. That's why I was fast to provide a strong hint. It's not intended to be a brain twister, but a poor man's "captcha". I guess I have yet to find a good middle ground that won't gate off too many legitimate users. I'll have to experiment more.

Edit: Think it would throw a bot off if a hint was provided as a reply to the post? But that would make threads ugly and may not necessarily help. Back to the drawing board.

I think I might have gotten it, if the question had been "How much time passes between 6 AM and 3 PM on the same day?". "How many hours?" asks for just a number, "How much time?" asks for a number and a unit.

Eggs are an important symbol throughout the history and beliefs of people.
the ancient Egyptians believed that Ra, the sun god, was hatched from a cosmic egg.
In Slavic mythology, Rod, the supreme being, created a divine egg from the void, inside of which rested Svarog, god of fire.
The Orphic Egg in the ancient Greek Orphic tradition is the cosmic egg from which hatched the primordial hermaphroditic deity Phanes/Protogonus (variously equated also with Zeus, Pan, Metis, Eros, Erikepaios and Bromius) who in turn created the other gods. The egg is often depicted with a serpent wound around it.
Just based on this few examples it's easy to see, why even some modern cults believe in the importance of similar beliefs, trying to usher something new to existence... or awakening something terribly old

Excess or abuse of power transcends authority prescribed by law and
leads inevitably to injustice. Excess of power is manifested when the
vestee of authority, the holder of a position with power to decide, exceeds
the limits of his/her mandate.

Just a heads up: changing the domain like this in the giveaway link opens it up for scam/phising attempts. Someone could just register the domain stemgifts.com and make a website looking like SG and you'd even look responsible at first glance. In this case, someone already owns the domain and offers it for sale.

Also bots are usually only looking for the 5-character giveaway code, so you should always obfuscate that one besides anything else in the link.
