[quote name='tossup']Winning a contest is so cool! Thanks for Defense Grid: The Awakening :D.[/QUOTE]

You got a good one. Enjoy. :)
 
Freaked out to find that I won something and when I found out it was DUST FORCE!!!! I was super excited. My son and I really wanted this game. Thanks so much Draekon!
 
Only because I made a small mistake with the prize list that only affected you. Plus all the other gifts I could have given you were taken by later winners after you, so I felt it was only fair I give you something of worth.



Anyways, I'm heading to sleep and will try and finish this in the morning. I left some messages to people via Steam but haven't heard back from them yet. Anybody else I friended but haven't accepted (or have) can leave a message to confirm who they are and I'll gift you a prize in the morning after doing a double check on my side from your post.

List of those who didn't win. However there's a possibility based on the generosity of some winners, there may be enough extras to go around thanks to people donating some friend copies back into the pot. However this will take some time to try and figure out which I have leftovers of since there are still a ton of prizes I need to allocate to their winners.

  1. baxterstockman
  2. fritolay59
  3. Blade
  4. The End (khouli2)
  5. Jugglenaut
  6. momouchi
  7. FinderKeeper
  8. beebs
  9. Lubis
  10. INCyr
  11. Freedom Fries
  12. headpiece747
  13. Genocidal

I'm rather surprised that it was my first choice (Portal and Portal 2) that that I got, but pleasantly so. Too bad I can't separate out the original Portal, but I guess since I got it previously for free anyways, it isn't a big deal.

Thanks Draekon. This is all very generous of you and a lot of work.
 
Thanks Drakeon! now I won't be the only CAG exile without Fairie Solitaire.

For those who won something, we should make sure his feedback goes through the roof.
 
Ouch, worst luck ever :/

nothing seems to be going well for me this week. Bad news everyday.

Thanks for the opportunity.

edit: one of a group of 13 that didn't win. Sounds even more unlucky.

Lol, you're not kidding. We must've done something to Draekon to deserve such bad karma.
 
[quote name='Blade']Lol, you're not kidding. We must've done something to Draekon to deserve such bad karma.[/QUOTE]

Well, like I mentioned in my previous post that there will be a few games leftover in the end. So far that number looks to be at around at least 6 or 7 and I have a fair amount more to give out. Plus if that doesn't cover it, some people are willing to donate a couple things they have sitting in their inventory (or unused steam-ready keys) to make sure everybody at least gets something.






There were also only 20 randomized prizes due to their list not having something listed not still in the pot. Little surprised it was so few.
 
I think we'll have enough for the non-winners pot to go around. Since it is an after thought, I will also make the pot a little bigger. What I mean by that is I'm giving the chance for people who were randomized games to be put into this pot (along with their randomized game). This will give them and you a chance to win something that may be more worthwhile. This pot may also include some games not found on the original give-a-way list that are donated by other CAGs as well, but I haven't decided yet.

I can't guarantee that you'll get something you want, but I'm leaving the option there. The list of games should be up in a few days (maybe sooner) depending on how things go from my end.
 
Draekon, you are the goddamn man. Best giveaway ever. If you want, I have some coupons and a copy of Portal (but who doesn't own that?) that I'd like to donate to the pot if you're willing to take them.
 
Cheers to the man.

Oh, sorry to hear about your bad news that you've been running it to lately. But for me, in a weird way, it's kinda funny that I ended up on the did not win list. I mean, the odds were dramatically against me, but I managed to be one of the unlucky 13. I feel like I won the anti-lottery. lol

Anyway, I hope things turn around for you.
 
The one possible upside to not winning is that I get to thank Draekon without it looking like I'm sucking up to him (or is it her? I'll assume him for now) or that I'm only doing so because I'm beholden to him. So I just wanna say thanks again to Draekon for this fantastic giveway. It truly was a ridiculously generous offer on your part. Not only in terms of money spent, but in all the time and effort he's put into this.

I think the amount of effort put into the giveaway is something that will get overlooked by many, but several years ago I ran a football pool on another website and I routinely got 30-40 players taking part. I can tell you that it got to be a real hassle to keep all 30+ players picks and scores accurately updated (I did it all manually, like Draekon did here). I can only imagine how complicated this giveaway got after a while. Not only did you have to pick the 102 winners and figure out what was still available from each contestant's list, but you also had the hassle of getting everybody's gift to them through Steam.

My hat is off to you, my friend. :)
 
Woot, finally won a contest. Only took 90% odds to win. Thanks Draekon.

Next time you have a contest, let me know and if I have any Steam gift/friend copies of games lying around I'll add them to your pool.
 
[quote name='baxterstockman']well, i didn't win, but thanks anyway, still awesome of you.[/QUOTE]

You might want to hang on a little longer and check out the non-winner's post. There's going to be a pot and redrawing.
 
Thanks so much for Orcs Must Die and its DLC! Just noticed my email, and I'll be sure to redeem it all once I'm browsing from something other than a PSP. :lol:

I agree that you've put a ridiculous amount of effort into this. It really is much appreciated! :D If I hadn't just given out my last extra Steam key, I'd happily contribute it. :(
 
Randomly checked my email and see that I've won GTA Complete package! I actually forgot about this contest, but thanks so much! You are the man.
 
Draekon really kicked ass with this contest. I won a game + copy for a friend but I threw it back into the pile for those non-winners. Good luck guys. Thanks again!
 
Thanks for putting this on, Draekon! Sadly, I too appeared to be one of the unlucky 13 - unfortunately, I'm not really all that surprised. But congrats to everyone who did win something!
 
I'll tell you what I told everybody else, it's supposed to be used for marketplace transactions only. I can't exactly stop you from doing it though.


Anyways since giving out items has been a bit stale today, I will send a PM to the remaining winners once I get home from work. Hopefully that'll speed things up a little so I can proceed with the non-winners pot.

EDIT: Didn't get to send the PMs yesterday evening after work. Will try gathering names and compiling a PM throughout the day in between things at work.

EDIT 2: PMs have been sent.

Thanks for doing this giveaway, Draekon. i'm one of the 13 non-winners, but it was still fun to take part. Looking forward to the non-winners pot. ;)
 
Thanks again for the excellent contest! I heard a lot of good things about Orcs Must Die! over the holidays, and I'm really looking forward to trying it out. Cheers!
 
Yeah, I was gone most of the day today and yesterday I was waiting for the last couple of replies from PMs I sent out earlier in the day/night before. I'll put together what I have left and see if I need to call in for some donations to fill in the rest.

All prizes will be traded so you can use it for trade fodder or use unpack it for yourself. I don't think it's necessary to call upon anybody for prize donations. It also seems I somehow must have deleted the .bit trip games from the prize list I was using when I was doing the original drawing somehow as I noticed that I didn't give them out to anybody at all. Since it's pretty much impossible to go back and change things around from a contest that's over, it'll be an extra in this pot.

As there is one extra game listed, I may randomize it off to someone or save it for future use for something. Haven't decided yet.



EDIT: I'll do the drawing when I get some time. May take a couple of days. If there are any issues, objections, etc please note them sooner rather than later.

Oh, I had forgotten all about this. Thank you for sticking with this Draekon. This has got to be a bit of a hassle at this point. We all definitely appreciate the effort that you've put in, and of course, your generosity.

Can I ask, is the second chance drawing gonna work like the original drawing? That is to say, we all prioritize the games that we want, you pick the order that each user is ranked, then you choose items off our wishlist that are still available? If so, should we start making out new lists based upon the remaining prizes?

Also, you asked if we had any issues or objections to note them. How about a suggestion? Concerning the extra prize (the 26th). Assuming that you do decide to give it out, might I suggest that instead of giving it out randomly to one of the 25 participants, perhaps you might offer it as a consolation prize for whichever person is unfortunate enough to get selected last.

Just a suggestion.
 
I could do it in the same fashion as the original drawing, but that would take a considerable amount of time to get everybody to post theirs and then randomize names and go through prize lists one at a time. While it's the most ideal way of making sure people get what they want it's not really close enough to being practical at this point for me to do that. Though I suppose I could give people a few set amount of days to edit their list to include the new prize list and then do that. However it would work in the same way as the original contest to where only people who received a randomized prize would be traded the item. The ones from the list would be gifted.

It's either that or I random both the winning order and then the prizes.
