| Day 7&8 - Summary |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alright, this post will probably take a bit longer since we now have 5 contests to talk about! Before we start, I want to take the time to drop a note here about what I am going to do with the gifts after the contest. There are a few options and I want your opinion on this guys:
1. Give all gifts back - I assume people who gifted it for a noble cause are fine with other options
2. Raise the gifts count - I could double the gifts I am giving out tomorrow and the day after which would get rid of all the gifts at once. THe problem here is that doing that will take a lot of time for me organizing 50 gifts at once. On top of that its also not too fun.
3. I could keep the gifts and we'll do some small contests over the weekends. Lets say one-two contests every weekend (so everyone can participate) for a few weeks. Since we dont have any great Steam discounts for that, I'd use free Indie games for these.
Let me know what you guys think please. Onto the gifts for today!

Five results today? I'd best be alert in case I have A Job To Do!
I'd say #3. I may not participate as much (although I can write a *mean* quiz for down the line if you want!) but I quite like the idea of a regular 'book group of gaming', for want of a better label.
Actually - and this might be more controversial - I'd suggest *not* limiting it to free indie games, but instead maybe have one every so often focussing on an oldish title with dead online, so it could also serve to reinvigorate the online for a weekend at least. I bring that up due to encountering a few titles in the sale where people said "It's great, but it's a pity the online's dead".

Personally, I like option 3.
Why not create a GAF gift pile we can use for different forum "things", if your steam inventory can handle that, that is. So I guess #3 would be what I'd go for
Edit: Congrats Toddhunter, Tobinishi, and Jasconius, S. L., DeS31ny, me, Cth, schnell, Chairmanchuck, LuffyZoro, mannerbot

I like the idea of #3 but would also just like to say that I think Toma and Monk should get to pick out a game at the end if anything tickles their fancy. Just a little reward for the hard work if that's alright with everyone else. Also, keeping it around will give more opportunities for people (like myself) to donate when there are better times. Maybe even just create a GAF steam gift account?
Hey LFF, it might just be a typo, I sent all the scores to Toma, when I was checking my PM's to him I saw you were my first score entry at the top of the message so it might have been just a bad Copy & Paste
Also, wow congrats to the Winners, lot's of great prizes today! Hope you guys liked them.
I'd second this. They've not been able to participate much, after all.
Edit: Looks like I'm thirding it instead. Still, the principle's sound!
Go ahead and do it because I believe new accounts have restricted trading privileges for a month so the sooner it's created, the better.
edit: I'm not sure if that applies to gifting at all though so it might not be restricted
GAFGifts is alive and well
Add me: HobenScoben
Also, whoo! I won! Thanks guys. Although I have to admit that I was secretly hoping to win DOTA 2 because it would have been hilarious

I like option three. I also like mclem suggestion that it does not necessarily have to limited to free indie games.
I also agree with this

Seems I can't add people until the account has games attached to it. Will look into some free ones, see if that works

Maybe you can add Bad Rats to the account if there are copies to be given away at the end of the contest. I think you have to have a retail game in order to add people. I could be wrong.
I think you actually need to do a purchase.

Yes, indeed.

Or buy something from the TF2 store. I've got a code for Shadowgrounds from Frozenbyte's Summer Seal, in case you need something.
I give you express permission to use the copy of Bad Rats I just won to activate the account.
No, because people were buying Humble Bundles for 1 cent and activating a bunch of accounts with them.

Lol, alright, lets try it with that then.

Congrats, you are now the owner of one of the worst rated games on Steam! Don't worry, it could have been worse.
By the way if anyone is wondering I'm Kenji_M on Steam, sending Friend request to Bad Rats account now.
Ah, that's who you are
Should have kept the thread open.edit: I don't suppose any enterprising GAFfer would like to create an avatar for the GAFGifts account? I'm using the NeoGAF logo for now, but think something more gift-related might be better suited.
Ah, that's who you are
Yeah sorry, I added my gaf name after that name but people have always trouble finding me so I end up adding them instead. Does steam take time when we change our Id or something?
