SpoilerSilly Agen, you have your games!

Note that I'll still be giving away the remaining seven or so games to go for the next little while. Get 'em while you can!

Also let me know if you haven't gotten one of the two titles you won for any reason and we'll sort it out.

Alright so closing thoughts:

++ A lot of things went well this time! Double Overtime did exactly what I wanted to do and had the benefit of also reinvigorating the game later on, and caused basically no problems on my end.
++ With the exception of a couple small things (and one larger thing that I'll get to) there ended up being no issues getting people's games out too which is good.
++ Had great communication with my co-mod. While I managed to get to things in a reasonably timely way most of the time Kiven easily managed to step in and save me when I couldn't.
++ Donors were fantastic with sending games out, those that weren't sent to me prior to starting were always out quickly upon them being won so nobody had to wait long at all.
++ Hey here we are at the end again!

-- Ran out of steam near the end with a few people stopping playing before they win their second (or even first!) game.
-- Had a couple instances with game links that were already claimed prior to the contest, while I did manage to solve them (hopefully to everyone's satisfaction) I should have checked them to be sure.
-- There were a few people I had to hunt down in Steam to give them their games which ended up causing shamefully long delays in getting their games to them as I occasionally got wrapped up in other things and didn't notice when they eventually accepted my add. Next time I'd want to make sure I have everyone from the getgo so as to not slow things down and leave people waiting.
-- Flavour was about as bland as last time (if not worse) but again I'd rather have things done in a timelier fashion.

Despite problems though, I'm completely satisfied with how this went down and hope that the next one (whenever it happens) will be even better! I'm not 100% sure I have it in me to run one of these again in the immediate future, but anyone else who might want to do something for the summer sale or next winter one I'd be remiss to not allow them to blatantly steal and/or improve on everything here (not like most of it is mine to be stolen from). If I do though, I'll definitely try to get on letting people know about it before the sales end in case they wish to donate something.

Once again, thanks to Kiven, Coldblooded, Kocel, amosmyn, Akumu, Rivenforge, Granolaman, Schazer, OzTheWizard, Excalibur, Terrabalt, Demonsul, Raptarion, and KatoHearts, all of whom in one way or another made this whole thing possible. I couldn't have done it without them.

As for everyone else, I hope you enjoy your games and thanks for playing!
