Steam Winter Giveaway 2016 [Epilogue: Restoration]

Then I guess it's time for me to rush in FULL BORE.

Well okay, maybe not FULL bore. 7/8ths bore is probably good enough.

176 points on Full Bore.

100 on Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet

Retract my 100 point bid on Blackwell Epiphany! 350 points on Full Bore!

And 50 points on Lifes is Strange!

Grumble grumble.

Remove all points from Full Bore, 200 on Life is Strange.

Take 50 points off Lumino City.

one point on hotline miami

159 on Hotline Miami
1 on Undertale

oh yeah??

i'll also put one on undertale

actually, make that two. two on undertale

Due to a small issue the update will have to be postponed until tomorrow. Since most of the top six titles have already been raffled off I'm going to lock all bids on them until then, but feel free to otherwise treat this as an extension. Sorry for the inconvenience!

For clarity's sake, the top six are:

SpoilerShow

Full Bore: 350 (Akumu - 350)
Life is Strange Complete Season (Episodes 1-5): 328 (Coldblooded - 200, Airey - 78, Akumu - 50)
Nidhogg: 275 (TryTryAgain - 175, Druplesnubb - 100)
Hotline Miami: 260 (Granolaman - 159, seedy - 100, Loather - 1)
Skyrim - Legendary Edition - 200 (MQuinny1234 - 100, Vancho1 - 100)
Tropico 4: 200 (SupahKiven - 200)

La Mulana is no longer top six, unless I'm getting a bonus bunch of points for my ruthless bidding tactics.

ALL IN ON LIFE IS STRANGE.

Oh yeah that was a typo, sorry. Will fix.

Cannot accept bids on Life is Strange, as it is currently locked.

Alright everyone, exciting round with a lot of late bids and plays to presumably throw off the mass ties. Here are our top six:

SpoilerShow

Full Bore: 350 (Akumu - 350)
Life is Strange Complete Season (Episodes 1-5): 328 (Coldblooded - 200, Airey - 78, Akumu - 50)
Nidhogg: 275 (TryTryAgain - 175, Druplesnubb - 100)
Hotline Miami: 260 (Granolaman - 159, seedy - 100, Loather - 1)
Skyrim - Legendary Edition - 200 (MQuinny1234 - 100, Vancho1 - 100)
Tropico 4: 200 (SupahKiven - 200)

We'll start out with our simplest bid - though taking in the most points of the round Full Bore is one of the only title this time that isn't contested. I'd have made a crack about Akumu going full bore into it but their short-term competitor Coldblooded already beat me to it.

SpoilerShow

AKUMU

Next up we have Life is Strange. Indeed it is, seeing as how the two who fought over the number one title this round see each other vying for the second as well.

SpoilerShow

AIREY

Third up is Nidhogg, and in the true spirit of the game it's down to two bidders dueling over the prize.

SpoilerShow

TRYTRYAGAIN

Fourth comes Hotline Miami, and I drew a blank for further things to say.

SpoilerShow

GRANOLAMAN

Fifth we come to Skyrim (Legendary Edition), the first perfectly even battle of the round.

SpoilerShow

MQUINNY1234

Finally we have Tropico 4, a fitting bookmark to the round since like the starter it also has no competition.

SpoilerShow

SUPAHKIVEN

Also, after a discussion with Chiral we've decided that too many issues could come up with in-giveaway trading (for points etc.) for us to allow it. However, what you do with your games once you've won them is up to you, so if you want to just give a won game to a friend or plan to trade prizes after the fact feel free. Sorry for any inconvenience.

I suppose I'll toss half my points (100) at undertale and the other half (100) at abyss odyssey.

Guys I think we know how to game the system now

I really need to check this thread more often wow

anyways I'll put another 100 points on Fez I guess

Alright, so round seven comes to a close a bit late. Here are our titles:

SpoilerShow

Endless Legend Collection: 300 (Vancho1 - 200, bigro - 100)
Undertale: 278 (amosmyn - 175, Paranoia - 100, Loather - 2, Granolaman - 1)
La Mulana: 250 (icanhasdonut - 200, Druplesnubb - 50)
Fez: 200 (seedy - 200)
The Bridge: 175 (Garuru - 175)
Bastion: 150 (speedchuck - 150)
The Swapper: 150 (MQuinny - 150)

So we start this round off with Endless Legends' two bidders and 300 points.

Third and final amongst the contested titles this round is La Mulana, sitting at a respectable 250 points.

Following this we have Fez at 200, The Bridge at 175, and both Bastion and The Swapper at 150. All are guaranteed to the people who bid on them, and most excitingly three of these bidders will have the honour of being the first to leave the giveaway with all three titles!
