SpoilerTo The Moon - 232 points - (Scoffles-120, MQuinny-110, Pagan-1, Supernerd-1)
First off, we have To The Moon, which is a fight between Scoffles and Mquinny, and also two other people who decided a single point away for some reason. Who will win a free trip To The Moon, instead of being blasted into the sun like the competition?.....

SpoilerScoffles
Crysis 2 - 201 points - (Supernerd-200, MQuinny-1)
Okay, let's not even pretend here, we all know that Supernerd is gonna win this one.

SpoilerSupernerd
Outlast - 195 points - (Oz-100, Anacreon-95)
There's actually a lot more competition here then there was last round though. Take Outlast for instance, which has almost even odds of leaving with both Oz and Anacreon. But the winner is...

SpoilerAnacreon
Mark of the Ninja - 175 points - (Schazer-90, Ixcaliber-60, MQuinny-25)
And finally, Mark of the Ninja comes in last for the night. Which of these three will leave a winner tonight?

I can't lie, I have some small hope that Deceptive, Sruixan, and Leafsword all want the exact same game at this point. Come on, we can still beat Civ V's point total.

Sruix I would strongly suggest, if you need something to bid on, dumping your points onto spec ops (provided you can run it) it's a pretty dark game and maybe one of the best ones still on the list.

For our first and only competitive game of the day, we have Papo & Yo, up for grabs between Granola and Ixcaliber. (For those wondering about the point difference here, Ixcaliber didn't make his post until an hour after the deadline.) Who will win today and who will not-win?...

Hrm, that was an unreasonably shitty snipe I did there Ix, sorry bout that. I'd demand a reroll with your full points but I already activated the game (stupid of me). I do, however, have a spare Mark of the Ninja key floating around if you're interested.

Congratulations to all of our most recent winners! We'll be contacting you shortly with all the relevant game-related information.
And..... that was actually everybody who posted anything this round, so I guess the "game" part of this thread is just about over now.
_______________________________________________
If you're one of the six remaining players who never ended up receiving a game, just hit me up via PM by, say, the end of August, and I'll try to set you up with the game of your choice. After that, I can't guarantee that we'll still have it, but you're welcome to try and ask anyway.
The final six games will be going out on a first come, first serve basis for whichever of the remaining players contacts me first. I'll try to remember to update this post as soon as each game gets snatched up.

Kind of anticlimactic I know, but it's hard not to expect something like that from a game that involves automatically weeding out all of the most popular games and active players as quickly as possible by default.
Official game wrap-up post coming soonish.

Alright, wrap-up post time, let's do this.
Things that went well:
I managed to get most of the day end posts up quickly and never held up the game for more than a few hours at a time.
No major game mix-ups that I'm aware of, outside of that one thing in particular which was easily fixed.
We actually managed to see this through to the end.
Things that could have been better:
I never did get around to doing that "miniature game review" thing I was talking about early on.
Activity kind of slowed to a crawl during the later rounds. (Not entirely unexpected, but still.)
Flavor text was pretty bland for the most part, but I think it was a necessary sacrifice if it kept me from spending an extra hour on each update.
_______________________________________________
All in all though, I'm pretty pleased with how everything turned out. If anybody else has any ideas/opinions on how to make any future versions better though, I'm all ears.
Personally, I don't plan on trying to start another one of these until maybe next summer at the soonest. But if somebody else wants to try their hand at modding one before then, (like say, around the time of the winter sale) please don't feel like you need my permission or anything. (Most of the ideas for this were stolen from Kocel or Pala anyway, so it's not like I'd have any right to pass it off as my idea anyway.) In the future though, it'd probably be a good idea to post a pregame warning announcement on both sites, just to make sure that people have enough time to donate something if they want to.
Thanks once again to Kocel, Palamedes, Amosmyn, Demonsul, and Vancho for donating and/or helping me out in their own individual ways. This whole thing wouldn't have happened without their help.
As for everybody else, I hope you enjoy whichever games you received, and thanks again for playing!

Just a heads up: the humble store is having an end of summer sale and is giving away a steam key for "Warlock: Master of the Arcane" today.
Offer ends in about 17 hours, but I think there'll be another freebie next monday.
