Edit:

Ok, one of those jigsaw things at https://www.jigidi.com/solve.php?id=6GM65BZY leads to http://www.itstoohard.com/puzzle/40DujO86 ...

The first question is pretty simple, Do you like visual novels? Originally I was going to allow both "yes" and "no" so people wouldn't need to lie, but I think puzzle solvers are used to lying @ itstoohard for a chance at a free game... Oh well.

I guess most people got stuck on the second question, So what is the secret giveaway password? If you waited for the hint, you got:

Don't tell me you waited an hour for this? Didn't you know I was just going to tease you? Tease! Tease!

Oh, ok, fine. There's a hint back in the original message. Nothing useful here...

Yeah, there was a hint in the original message, did you see it? The HINT? How about the

H
I
N
T
?

No, well what about the

HHH

III

NNN

TTT

?

I assume you spotted the subtle hint hidden in the last four "leftover bundle keys", and realised maybe it wasn't just bundle leftovers, chosen at random. :) And if you stared at the other keys long enough, maybe you noticed something else...

Well, it's either obvious or invisible, sorry about that. :) I could be a jerk and make everyone wait for the answer, but instead I'll just point out the letters "DFC" are repeated about 30 times in those keys. Some people might be able to guess why those particular letters were chosen... :)

Hopefully you spotted "DFC" in time to enter the giveaway at https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/vgnDy/littlewitch-romanesque-editio-perfecta - but if not, at least now you know one more thing you can do with leftover bundle keys. :)

Congratulations to the lucky winner, and condolences to everyone else! :) Hope you didn't waste too much time on it! :)


Original Message:

But it's only a 66% discount. :( And I already own the game. :( And it expires in seven days. :(

Oh well.

But, do you know what that means?

Hmm, making a giveaway for some crap everyone already owns? No, screw that...

Gifting it to some friend? No, those guys just wishlist everything to keep track of discounts...

Oh, then how about dumping a few leftover bundle keys on all the bots grazing in the forum? Yeah, that's the ticket!

Quickly, bots! Gobble up those keys before a filthy human gets them! Down with humans!

Special extra-simple puzzle for any useless humans that wander by: https://www.jigidi.com/solve.php?id=6GM65BZY

Oh, here's something people noticed, in case you have to type the itstoohard link manually:

"Just double checked it, the O seems to be very thin that it looks like 0 (the 2nd one). Might wanna edit the OP to clarify that"

"One of those ovals is a zero, the other one is an O."


So, just curious, what's the best coupon you ever found? Oh, you can't answer, because you are too busy pasting keys? Don't bother, the bots already got them... :)

Good luck... :)

Think I've only ever found good coupons on bots. And I think nowadays people pick clean the coupon bots. Or maybe there are bots to grab all the good coupons from the coupon bots...

Back when the badge nonsense started and I made some badges, it was always crap I already owned, coupons for games that are currently in a bundle, or stuff like a 25% non-stackable discount for a game that's currently got a 50% discount in the sale, etc. Useless... :) Oh well. :)

Hmmm, a game I don't even own, sounds like a coupon I would have been unable to resist either... :)

There's so many coupons where at first I think hmm, that sounds like a pretty good discount... And then I see the publisher/developer and know it's going to be 5 cents on Steamground within the month... :)

Hmm, let me try to answer all these questions....

No, I don't think you know the secret password. But maybe you can discover it. Maybe not, though.

No, I don't think that would help at all.

Well it's clearly not too obvious, or someone besides me would have solved it by now. :)

IIRC best coupons I had were from alienwarearena.com a couple years ago.
A 50% off coupon for The Talos Principle and it was cumulative with Steam sale. The game was 20€ (then it went up to 40€ for some reason, maybe regional pricing) and it was 75% off, so 5€ and then another 50% off, total 2,5€, a great deal I would say!
The other one was 75% off Shadow Warrior and was cumulative as well. Game was 90% off and with the coupon I paid the game less than 1€. Another great deal!

Those stacking coupons are the best, but they are so uncommon... I wonder if they happen by accident, like the publisher has to click a wrong button somewhere...

Talos Principle was a fun game, even if I never did finish all the puzzles... :( Think I ran into some that required actual thinking and gave up... :) Oh well...

Oh yeah some puzzles sere really tricky but the story was very good, I enjoyed it a lot. Unfortunately it doesn't have much replayability in the short term, maybe I'll play it again in the future to get the other ending.

If you don't make badges, or if you only make badges during the big sales, you may never see one... But check bots like http://steamcommunity.com/id/ArchiBoT/inventory/#753_3 - people dump unwanted coupons in there from time to time, you can find a good one if you get lucky. :)

Good luck... :)

Well, if you make badges during the sales you get a sale card instead of a coupon, which means sale badges, or money from selling them.

But if you're just looking for money sell all the cards, don't make any badges. But I guess you already know that. :)

I've heard people wanting to select which badge to show, instead of automatically showing the highest level. Like that Witcher 2 badge, level 1 is "A guy who knows a guy who knows Geralt" which is the best title if you ask me. :)

I don't think I ever found a coupon that made me want to buy a game, save for the occasional 75/90% off cheap ASF fodder indie games with decently priced cards.
In fact, I donate most of my coupons to Coupon Dumpster, and I also get a few from them every once in a while (mostly like the aforementioned 75/90% off games).
