I am curious how much effort the community would spend on keeping it alive.
There are many spammer on sg. No need to worry about it.

What would happen if people arranged their votes to create a stalemate?^^
Also bump!

The site creates an order of the answers nonetheless.

I don't see the point in voting then. Shouldn't you use a weighted die in order to the vote to mean something?
Comment has been collapsed.
This. I am so confused as to what is the point of this.

Maybe it's just a two-sided dice and it's either the most voted or the less voted...but I'm also not sure :D

I guess just a test? While it does not help your voted game to win, but you still affect the outcome, that's easy to see. Interesting idea nevertheless.

you still affect the outcome, that's easy to see
Here we collectively have the same amount of influence on the outcome as people who choose their own numbers for a lottery ticket (vs being given an already filled-in lottery ticket). However, the outcome is completely random in both cases, so it's not actually easy to see how we can affect it :)
On a related note, here's a fun classic paper on the illusion of control (PDF). I believe Experiment 2 describes a similar situation, where people were either choosing a lottery ticket by themselves or were being handed a lottery ticket and those who chose their tickets ended up valuing them more.

I expect a similar "game" here. Like checking the share of the votes, how they will change if - for example - a game from the list will get bundled tomorrow. And maybe I just think differently, but despite everything being random, one still controls (or rather modifies) the outcome - like leaving the house 5 seconds later can mean that you run into the guy rollerskating across the door. Similarly, while each game has 12,5% chance to be picked based on their order anything that modifies the order affects the result. Not the statistical (still 12,5%) but the actual result that will happen even if the randomgenerator throws out the same number.
This is why I also thought that this is something psychological, because it involves choice that can be modified, and while it modifies, but does not determine the results ^^ or just Talgaby is spying on me and how much of a crippling problem can be if one panics if outside forces can fuck up their plans and dealings, and then I panic / shut down :| Working on getting over it, though :D

Yea but you might just have a random generator choosing the order for you. You are gonna get the same effect, just you save yourself the time to make a thread and others to read it.

The same as the point of my similar previous threads were.

While some of them where really interesting, I guess this is one of the "lets waste of peoples time" like the other one with the confusing GA descriptions.
...and now I am wasting my own time, fuck I am a genious :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Not the experiment ones. :) This and its much older siblings serve a simple purpose for those who visit them. ^_^
Comment has been collapsed.
I might now have seen the other ones then o.o I only know of the one I have mentioned and the ones where you made the same GAs for different levels (the ones I found really interesting)
Comment has been collapsed.
This is one of them, I cannot find the other: https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/4NrZj/

I voted in the poll but I sure don't remember it o.o goldfish memory strikes again

Yay, I'm a meow spammer!
egyébként akkor most ezek várhatóak a havi humbliban? vagy rosszul értelmeztem?
Comment has been collapsed.
Nem, nincs hozzá köze, csak egy megadott időtartam.
Comment has been collapsed.
pedig már azt hittem van valakinek belső humblés infója, egy jól működő humble store játékokról szóló metódusa vagy legalább egy jól működő mindentlátó varázsgömbje
Comment has been collapsed.
Biztos nem. De előfordulhat, hogy lesz elég jó a következő havi, hogy befizessek rá, ami azzal jár, hogy kicsit olcsóbban vehetem meg a nyertest. :3

Tévedni emberi dolog... viszont itt a Life is Strange Complete Season ... a dinóink éhen fognak halni ARKban :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Egy unalmasabb vasárnap végig lehet vinni az egész LiS-t, így maximum a dinók tartanak egy koplalónapot.

Had to chose between The Coma, Shadowhand and The Norwood Suite.
Went for The Coma.

From the mathematical point of view, our votes have precisely zero influence on the outcome. But something tells me that this is some kind of cunning psychological experiment :)
Heat Signature and Opus Magnum both look awesome!
Comment has been collapsed.
Oops, should I edit that comment as well as the one I just posted above?
Comment has been collapsed.
Not entirely correct. We do have influence, but none that would allow us to make a decision with a clear objective. ;)

Never heard of Tower 57, looks as a pretty steampunk game ~
Genre is not my cup of tea for offline, but as co-op it seems to be a lot of fun. However current reviews say that multiplayer doesn't work properly atm. And number of other bugs.
Comment has been collapsed.
This is why most of them will be titles most of you never heard of.
4/8 on my wishlist, and the rest looks promising too. Really nice gameselection :D

I've got to finally watch the second part. The first one was a masterpiece and I'm afraid the second one will be disappointing.
Comment has been collapsed.
I chose Songbringer. That looks like a really neat game.:)

Voted for Shadowhand simply because it looks awesome.

Got back from walk in the cold.
I voted for the Suite!

abstain from voting because nothing catches my fancy, so heres a bump :)
Comment has been collapsed.
it is more control than you can have over what people create giveaways for on this site
Not if you randomise the results. It doesn't matter what the voters pick, random is random ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Comment has been collapsed.
Except the inevitable one game over half of the people will be voting on,
This hasn't happened (yet)
I Didn't know any except for Doodle Devil, but I voted Heat Signature, as it looks right up my alley.
Comment has been collapsed.
Still a more meaningful choice than all the choices Telltale gives us in The Walking Dead. :D

Actually I think there's some faulty logic at play here. You don't have a 12.5% chance to influence anything - your influence is 0% whether you vote or not, as it will change absolutely nothing - which order the games are in by the time you draw the random number is irrelevant.
Interesting concept though, and thanks for the future giveaway!
I wonder if you might end up just picking the one with the most votes and this is all a clever ruse 😄
Comment has been collapsed.
And the lucky number was… 4. Proving that sometimes you can be the winner even if you did not make it to the podium. And this time we did not even need the international anti-doping agency to invalidate the three leading contenders due to state-mandated cheating!
As promised, here is Songbringer:
http://www.sgtools.info/giveaways/2323f44a-08c1-11e8-907d-fa163ee2f826
It lasts for a little under a week, ends on 2018-02-09 16:00 UTC.
As a consolation price, I also made a giveaway for the winner, The Coma. You can finds its more exotic SGTools-protected link if you visit any of these giveaway-centric forum topics: You're Not Alone #3, Positive thread, or Giveaways for peace.
Finally, for those who wondered what the point was… Let me answer it with a question: how many of these indie games in the poll did you know of before visiting this topic?
Addendum:
You can also thank Nudiustertian for making giveaways for the rest of the bunch here: https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/NLSVl/
The rules are simple. Vote for a game on the list. The amount of votes will determine their order. Once the voting ended, I'll use random.org to pick a number, and I will make a giveaway for the game in that spot. It may be the #1 pick, it may be the #8 pick, the (virtual) dice will decide.
Yes, this means that you have little control over which game will actually win (12.5% chance that your vote will mean anything in the end, to be exact). Then again, it is more control than you can have over what people create giveaways for on this site. (And a larger percentage over controlling the result of a poll than in most real-life elections.)
The voting lasts until 2018-02-02, the day Humble reveals the next Monthly bundle content.
I will not bump the topic. I am curious how much effort the community would spend on keeping it alive.
The winning game will be put up the next day as an invite-only giveaway, behind SGTools protection. The only rule will be "activated all wins", nothing more.
If anyone wonders, the list was compiled through the complex method of looking at the DRM-free releases on Humble store. This is why most of them will be titles most of you never heard of. Except the inevitable one game over half of the people will be voting on, because somehow this is what always happens when I do something similar. =)
