Winter Game Giveaway 2019 (Endgame: Final Four)

Ah, if the 25 point tie will keep everyone going, I'll drop Project Cars 2 to 25 points.

5 points to each of Always Sometimes Monsters, Ruiner, Project Cars 2, Agricola, and Borderlands.

The snakes are real y'all

all in on hearts of iron

25 off of RUINER

all in on hearts of iron

We shall fight on the forum, we shall fight on the bids, we shall fight in the Paradox; we shall never surrender.

ALL IN HOI IV

Go to 25 points on Old Man's Journey

Alright, so quick notice. I started, and finished, the round just now but then realized that four posts came in after the official deadline, each bearing some effect on how the round would go. I then realized that I accidentally allowed that last round, so there is a precedence for it, and that I also failed to end the round last night like I should have and extended things before like the mess I am.

From here on out I'm going to try to do a better job and enforce deadlines, but since I screwed up earlier I'm not sure what to do for this one. Do you guys want me to announce the winners and hand out titles as I should have at the deadline, or including all bids up to this one? Sorry again for the inconvenience!

I don't really care too much since I wasn't planning on bidding on the impacted 3 games anyway. As an aside, the only person who really is being disadvantaged if we go with the post-deadline bids is CSJ, since they were uncontested up to that point. The other two were just Reyweld adjusting his bid so that he'd actually get his game, and Credit willingly lowering their bid.

Include them! Bring on the blood sports!

i can wait, i have lots of time. include

I don't mind either way

three uncontested bids and a fight to the death for HoI

yeah it kinda sucks but oh well

Alright, so it sounds like we should just go forward with all posts, so that's what we'll do! Round two comes to an end too late, but what is there to do about it but press on? Let's take a look at the top titles:

5 points each on LISA and Q.U.B.E. 2.

Cripes I need to stop sniping solely CB's bids it's getting uncanny.

Ah who am I kidding I'm a nefarious heel I'll never stop
1 point on everything

5 points on heroes of might and magic

I had 75 points last round, including the 25 carried from the previous round. So, I should've had 75 points on HoI. It's be nice to know where that 25 went to.

Nah the math checks out I think. You spent 75 round 1, won so no refund and gained the 25 points for a new round putting you at 50 for round 2. The midround votal accidentally included your old HOI4 bid even though you'd overwritten it with your Borderlands/Lisa bid.

Also: 10 points on The Surge, 1 point on everything else

15 Points on:
Pixeljunk Eden (Humble Bundle)
7 Days to Die (Humble Bundle)

3 Points on:
Ryse: Son of Rome (Humble Bundle)

Granola is correct, I forgot to take your points of HoI because I sometimes forget to check if people's bids match their points until closer to round end. My bad!

Votals - Shaking fist at Reyweld Edition:

7 Days to Die (Humble Bundle): 15 (Reyweld - 15)
Pixeljunk Eden (Humble Bundle): 15 (Reyweld - 15)

Deadline remains at Friday at 11:59 PM EST, just over 37 hours remain.

half on ruiner, half on the dwarves

Triple both of my bids, and bid 15 on Plants vs. Zombies.

I wonder what happens if I put 45 points on RUINER.
