Mystery gifts are all about the mindgames.

"Is it the first one? That would be too obvious, though, unless that's what they want me to think! But ModBot puts them in reverse order, did the creator think about this?"

It's never the middle one, though.

I should note that ModBot doesn't technically put them in reverse order, it just stores the games in a python dict object, which technically has no guaranteed order. I have actually no idea how python comes up with the order that it does.

It was the middle one the last time someone did a mystery raffle with Bad Rats and a grand prize.

Spoiler

I won Volgarr.

Take it easy, it was an innocent question.

 

[Absoludacrous]

Or buy a point token and use it.

Which if I'm understanding right are the point boosts going for $10? The economics behind this are nuts.

Get placed on a team there. 30 people on a winning team will win 3 random games from their wishlist. Points reset everyday

 

[SmithnCo]

It was a bit like pulling teeth but I finally got a trade for DR3 to go through after a slew of errors. 9 keys which is a fair bit cheaper than 37 bucks.

 

[Rhaknar]

OH CRAP!!

Enslaved is already 75% off and isn't even a daily!

I know I know

JaseCWaitForTheDailies.gif

if something is 75% off already its very VERY unlikely it will get a higher discount

could happen...but Saiorse Roman technically COULD fly to australia to suck JaseCs dick. I mean, its not impossible, but the chances of it happening are slim

 

[Clearos]

Hoping Neogaf votes for Rugby Challenge 2 when it goes on flash sale. I needz it.

 

[BlackJace]

Placed on the Purple team! Aaand we're third :/

 

[Symphonic]

[masterkajo]

Avinexus claimed your Mystery Game #2 key. There were 46 entrants.
zkylon claimed your Mystery Game #1 key. There were 32 entrants.
masterkajo claimed your Mystery Game #3 key. There were 27 entrants.

Mystery Game #3 was the grand prize. Also had the least entrants.

I won. And when I saw the PM in the top corner I feared the worst. Somehow I always manage to dodge Bad Rats. Thanks, man! Will PM you.

Valve is pairing the internet into teams.

There's a realllllly good chance stuff like Enslaved and other older games aren't going to go any cheaper than 75% off. You're pretty safe buying it now.

[Anustart]

All teams but pink should give up already. You can't win. Someone wanna pink teamify my Ava?

 

[marrec]

Which if I'm understanding right are the point boosts going for $10? The economics behind this are nuts.

Psychologically it's amazing. Put people on teams, give them a win condition, then tie that win condition to spending money on Steam.

Genius.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

My weird pink-ass avatar for the Steam Summer Sales is ready.

I'm Blue, obviously.

Your avatars are the real reason why the different teams exist.

 

[LAUGHTREY]

I feel like there hasn't been any big must-haves between last winter sale and now.


Anything huge I should look for that released in the past 6 months?

 

[VisceralBowl]

Can someone make me one of those cool steam avatars?
My team is blue

Sorry I would if I could ;_;

 

[Cade]

Take it easy, it was an innocent question.

No worries, we're bros and he's just yankin my chain

Spoiler

[zkylon]

my avatar is already pink enough

 

[TsuXna]

Can someone Team Greenify my avatar? I'm on the winning team yo.

mm sth like that

 

[SoulUnison]

Pink's falling behind. We're in third right now.

...At least we're not the Red Team, though. Ouch.

I'm hoping for Dark Souls 2 myself. That's really my only 'must have' that I can think of recently.

 

[Vastag]

OH CRAP!!

I know I know

JaseCWaitForTheDailies.gif

I'm also having a hard time controlling myself.

 

[Teppic]

Damn, people buying my cards like crazy. Put up 80+ card before the sales begun, now there's only 43 left. Wallet increase from zero to €3.94. Maybe I buy some games after all.

 

[lucebuce12]

humble spares

aww snap, thanks for Eador. Go Team GREEN!!!

 

[PandaPedinte]

My weird pink-ass avatar for the Steam Summer Sales is ready.

It's way more scarier.

 

[Absoludacrous]

Genius.

The real genius is that, if I'm understanding all this correctly, the barrier for entry is pretty pricey, and they're getting away with it amongst a community conditioned to wait for 75% off sales.

 

[jmizzal]

Lets see what I can get this sale

 

[jshackles]

Because "Why not?"

 

[Arukado]

Placed on the Purple team! Aaand we're third :/
