10 steps to become a steamgifter... ?

Open
Rauschwandler

In my one month here, I've noticed a few community traditions so to say. With this thread, I'll try to adapt to each of them in order to become a potato true steamgifter!
Read the full thread to find my hidden birthday giveaway/puzzle. Skip if you're a botato. Hint: It's not hidden.

Here's my list:

  • Gift a crappy bundle game ✓
  • Win a crappy bundle game ✓
  • Make excessive use of Comment Formatting ✓
  • Potato a potato ✓
  • Post a cute cat gif ✓
  • Make a thread just about you ✓
  • Add an almost-unrelated poll ✓
  • Add an invite-only giveaway ✓
  • Make it a mandatory birthday giveaway ✓
  • Add Level 1 restrictions to scare away bots ✓
  • Add an ITH puzzle to scare away leechers ✓ Hints appear after 60mins. Makes Q5 much easier.
  • Win a game right after creating a giveaway ✓
  • Create a whitelist. ✓
  • Win three games on a single day. ✓ Does good giveaway karma exist?
  • Gift Bad Rats
  • Never win Bad Rats

... more to follow.

Did I say birthday giveaway? Yes, I'll be getting 1200 weeks old in 20 days.

That said, you may congratulate me in 20 days.
I'll add you to my whitelist if you do.
I'll add you to my blacklist if you do too early. Har har.

tl;dr
Spoilers are fun, because they force people's curiosity to read stuff they don't want to and will regret having wasted time on doing so. tl;dr: the tl;dr is a lie.

Also, why's there no welcome or birthday section?

Want to edit the first one so I don't delete it?

Also, please don't do that, makes the page incredibly annoying to scroll and navigate, especially on mobile.

If you're being serious, The Audio Video Interleave is a multimedia container file which is most often used to contain video files with audio. In other words, it's usually a video file that ends in *.avi.

Try it without space inbetween the digits.

There was supposed to show up a hint. Guess I screwed it up.

I forgot to remove the 60 minutes delay for them to show up. Can't remove that anymore.

Well, just makes it harder now.
