Second up we have an even match for Hacknet and its DLC. Credit and Gatr have been raising bids here all round, but it all comes to a head now?

Our last match of the round comes down to Druple and a last minute jump by Kiven. Was it worth it?

Round has ended. Results will be announced tonight.

Palamedes · 01-29-2018, 04:22 AM

I apologize, there will be a slight delay. Results will be announced and the new round will start tomorrow.

Palamedes · 01-29-2018, 06:33 PM

Alright, let's get started! Courtesy of Paranoia, every game this round is technically competitive, so we can go through them one at a time and see if there are any crazy upsets because of it.

Our first title is our most competitive for the round, with almost 200 points invested into Mecharium. Let's see if spümpkin and, to a much lesser extent Paranoia, can foil Druplesnubb's move to secure his final games!

Show Content

Next up comes Druplesnubb, which will be the most one sided battle this whole giveaway. Will it be pulled off or will Tiny Echo make off with an easy victory?

Show Content

Third up comes War for the Overworld, with chimericWilder making a return after bowing out early in the competition. Will it be a triumphant one?

Show Content

Fourth comes the first of our 51 point bids, and sees Credit trying to fend off Paranoia this time.

Show Content

Fifth is Psychonauts, and Gatr is our newest competitor against the eternal underdog.

Show Content

Sixth comes Credit again, playing things cautiously and splitting his points between two games instead of relying on one final win, though Paranoia might have messed with that...

Show Content

Seventh comes our second most competitive game of the round, despite only having 51 points to its name.

Show Content

Finally, Shadow of Mordor rounds off our list despite only having 11 points to its name, strangely enough it gives Paranoia the best odds for his one point thus far. Will it work out?

And 25 on Hurtworld.

Bidding Tally - Nearing the End Edition

Not too much going on round seven, with only three bids made. Here they are:

Goat Simulator: GOATY: 100 (Coldblooded - 100)
BlazBlue: Chronophantasma Extend: 75 (spümpkin - 75)
Hurtworld: 25 (spümpkin - 25)

Congrats to our winners this round, both of whom are joining the winner's circle with five titles won. Will any others join them or are we facing the end?

It is worth mentioning that Morphblade is back on the list, as Credit chose Shadowrun Returns instead as his fifth title.

Since there were very few bids this round I'm going to keep the next one going for longer than usual, probably 5 days or so unless a bunch of bids come in. This way anyone left has some time to jump in and win a few more titles before we face a likely bonus round.

Paranoia · 02-05-2018, 02:16 AM

I guess 10 points each on Ziggurat, holy potatoes and killing floor 2.

Granolaman · 02-05-2018, 02:43 AM

Put 20 on Puzzle Agent 2 please

Palamedes · 02-08-2018, 04:01 PM

Bidding Tally - End of the Road Edition

A few of our remaining bids came on in, and with only one player left we'll wrap it up. Let's look at our final games:

Puzzle Agent 2: 20 (Granolaman - 20)
Holy Potatoes! A Weapon Shop?!: 10 (Paranoia - 10)
Killing Floor 2: 10 (Paranoia - 10)
Ziggurat: 10 (Paranoia - 10)

chimericWilder's 45 points - 0 (Supernerd - 0)

Our winners are clear. Granolaman and Paranoia have picked up their last games, and Supernerd has theoretically won theoretical points. With that we can move onto the bonus round!

Points will no longer matter, winning or losing will all be left up to the roll of the dice, and since this giveaway lasted a cool eight rounds, I'm going to make sure that all of those interested leave with just as many games. That's right that means you can win up to three extra games!

Just like last giveaway, all you have to do is PM me a list of games your interested in, with your most desired prize at the top and the rest at the bottom. Be sure to be greedy and include more games than you could actually win, assuming that you want them all of course, because prize allocation is random and if you only list three and other people choose some (or all) of them as well you might lose out.

In five more days I'll be going through the PMs and randomly giving people games from the top of their list, working down based on what's already been won by someone else. Each person will have to win a game before someone else can win their second, and we'll go until every list is empty or everyone's won three games. Whichever comes first.

Of course, chimericWilder has only won three titles in the normal round, so he has until the deadline to choose any two games he might want without competition as well.

Finally, in the spirit of giving I'm going to let anyone else PM me as well as if they've been part of the giveaway all along, though they're going to be limited to three games (not the full eight). If there somehow ends up not being enough to go around preference will be given to original competitors.

Anyways, good luck and thanks for playing!

Alright then, huge apologies to everyone for somehow managing to completely lose track of the bonus round, but finally we're here and ready to dish out some extra games!

First off, chimericWilder's come around and claimed two games for himself, Morphblade and Nex Machina. That means for the first time in giveaway history, everyone's walked away with all of their games! Next up, the bonus games!

Granolaman · 02-23-2018, 08:26 PM

Big thanks for hosting this again! I always enjoy getting needlessly competitive with friends and because of you there's sometimes even a prize at the end! You're super cool for running this, and also shout outs to the co-mods and donators for helping facilitate this awesome event!

Gatr · 02-24-2018, 01:44 AM

I got so many games. Jesus. Thanks for all these.

Sunspider · 03-04-2018, 08:01 PM

This was a great event, and I really appreciate you running it. Thanks to the game-donors as well; I hope to join your ranks next time! I haven't had much of a budget for games the last few years, and there are always so many indie titles that slip through the cracks that I want to experience and even study. This giveaway made that possible, so thanks a ton!
