Requesting Input!

Sounds good. May I ask, how did you get 10 copies!

Just do em' all in publics. But have each one be a different CV req. One is $1.00, then $25.00, then $50, $100, $500, etc.

I want to say 'fight to the death' but I'm not sure of the convenience or legal status.

Honestly Mew, you're always great at coming up with interesting contests and puzzles so I think you've a better idea than most of us!

I would go with what you have x2, and maybe sponsor one for trivia tomorrow!

rock paper scissors

Is everyone taking this 100% seriously?

You're either overplaying your fame or trolling amazingly, Mew.

(or you're telling the truth, in which case that's cool I guess)

Make 10 puzzles and do the giveaways as a chain. Post 1 puzzle in a forum topic. Have the solution of that puzzle point to a giveaway. In that giveaway, post the link to the next puzzle in its description, and continue the chain. Make each puzzle harder the farther you go in the chain. You could also maybe do increasing CV requirements on them, for example 1st is zero CV, second is 50 CV, third is 100 CV, etc.

Duel between gentlemen. The last man standing shall inherit thy fortune.

or we can trade =)

make 9 public GAs, then a private one and send the link only to me ;)

You pick a number between 1 and 100. If someone guesses right, they get a copy. If someone guesses wrong, shotgun blast to the face.

Here's an idea, take one key and hide one letter every hour (in order) somewhere on the forum.

Make a private giveaway for people that played their won games for many, many hours, e.g. 500 hours minimum or 50% for at least 4
,5 hours

You can make a dedicated group just for that Bioshock Infinite giveaways. If you do, please invite me.

You can do a few puzzles. All kinds of difficulty levels or from different fields. I already have the game but I like puzzles :D

Create a mail account, send the private giveaway link as a message to that account. Then provide credentials in any cryptographic way you want. That's doubling the effort :P.

you can make a rabbit hole here

.. I think this would be a good place to advertise my group .. Looking for 1x Mew2 to enter said group :) ...

Write each code onto a piece of paper, and travel to the few places on the planet where you can make an Earth sandwich. Hide the codes under the bread and disclose them to NOBODY.

Also check the codes yearly.

you make a puzzle to enter a group to solve another puzzle to enter the contest to be selected for the give away with a contributor value of your choice

Following the idea of a contest or duel... You could organize a small competition by picking a free or open implementation of a game with highly competitive gameplay. For example, if you chose poker, you could use PokerTH (or any other alternatives) and host a game. It's not the fairest idea possible, but it's possibly fun.

Or better yet... If you can develop the code for it (or get someone to help you with it), you could hold a big contest based on the Prisoner's Dilemma among all people willing to kill themselves, erm I mean compete, for a copy of Bioshock Infinite. This also has a fitting flavor, considering all the ethic questions present in Bioshock.

EDIT: Of course, the Prisoner's Dilemma is just an idea. Any ethical dilemma, any choice or game theory trap, should do. Just set some restrictions (max players? max moves? how to count points? etc) and it's good to begin with.

I'll give you input alright :3

CS GO matches to determined the best people to receive the link to the private giveaway? or TF2 match (I prefer CS GO because it's more....professional, plz don't take any offense TF players)

we rarely have things like that, competitive match to win a game on steamgifts, the only one that comes to my mind is the portal 2 puzzle giveaway 1-2 week ago

or, you could put your *I wanna play a game mask on and do sth psychological and scary

I was expecting lots of beggars.. I must say I am kind of dissaponted :D

Also, puzzles and private giveaways sounds good :)
