this is a great thread, just a quick question if you participate in any contest and win (which i will never do) you will get a random game? :)

i plan to participate in all of them and maybe sponsor a price if i have enough money.

Yep, I'll throw some skill based stuff in between too. Likely that I mix up the prices next time, say for a highscoring game - 1 price for the highest score + 1 random price among all the other participants over a score of X.

I'll also throw out 1-2 gifts at the end for the people who participated the most, but won the less. So bad luck might get you a game! ;)

Ok, here's my contribution for the "swimsuit" contest:

It's Alan Wake in his tweed suit with a red swimsuit, a short. But he's swimming, in what he thought was a lake, so he need something to hold his flashlight, right? That's when the short comes handy, quickly illuminating the deepest spots with a pelvic thrust.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.

I would have done so if we were farther along into the contest. I didnt want to scare people away with the first contest. I really wanted everyone to give it a go on the first day :)
I'll make sure to throw in some challenging stuff as well though.

Contest #1: Solve World 1 Level 4 - "Crossover" in SpaceChem, and screenshot it to post it here.
header_292x136.jpg


In the spirit of the past steam sale achievements you can cheat this by looking up solutions, but the purpose is to actually play the games you own. The first 4 levels are all rather basic tutorial levels and shouldnt take you too long.

Please dont copy any images from the internet and, if possible, your own brain to arrive to a solution :)

- Contest runs until the next batch of daily deals goes up, so tomorrow 7pm GMT+1.
- If you already solved it you are free to screenshot the already solved level, props if you screenshot a level that you HAD NOT solved yet at this point though.
- You are free to discuss the game here/ask for advice.
- You can participate in this contest even with the demo

The winners (2 probably) will be chosen randomly from all submissions.
Some starting help.

Edit: SpaceChem is still the daily deal for about 1 hour at 2,50, but I'll post something where you can participate without buying a game too.

I've no idea if the timer ends at 5, 6 or 7 BST, and I can't check it while at work. Hopefully it's later so I have a chance of catching it!

How long does it the daily deal clock say from the time you're posting? I can derive it from that.

Actually the daily deals dont seem to run out when I want them to. New deals should pop up in 4 hours though. So 6 pm for you?
What you dont want to miss? My surprise? Its not a contest, but I'll post it here :) If its about the voting, feel free to leave a vote already if you want.

Was hoping to rattle out a quick entry for both contests. I have an idea, at least, but I can't very easily claim that atom-smashing is justifiable use of work time!

If not, then ne'er mind. I'll probably still submit my entry to get into the swing of things anyway, even if it's too late to count.

(0. People tell me in the thread or via PM which games they would want to give away. If you say so, make sure to already buy the game and have it as a coupon in your inventory!)

Well if you can give the code someone so he can activate them, its fine too. I just wanted to make sure people dont promise a flash deal and havent bought it yet when they need to give it away. On top of the prize pile?

On another note, a generous gift has arrived:

32. 25$-choose-your-own-game(s) coupon (1) (1 by Conciliator)

Tempted to offer a 'pot luck' prize, but I want to verify that it's logistically possible, first.

The theory: Generate a random number. If the product with that ID is within a certain price threshold (No, I'm not going to be buying folks the complete Railworks!) *and* the recipient doesn't have it, that's what they get. DLC probably ought to be excluded from this for obvious reasons. It could be Bad Rats; it could be New Vegas.

The main trickiness would be in verifying whether the recipient has the game in question already; I don't know how managable that is.

I'll do it. I have a way of making a list of all the games below a certain amount and then randomize that. I'll crosscheck it with the winners steam profile.

Onto the gift pile? (Which amount is the highest amount a game is allowed to cost?)

I'd do the work for you if we can settle on a daily deal pot luck price. I'll throw in the daily deals below your chosen amount and have the winner tell me which games he already owns. He'll win a random game of the remaining offers,

That could work, also replied to your PM.

Good idea mclem!

MS PAINT time! Feel free to use whatever graphics program you want though.

I want a (crudely is enough) drawn picture of your favorite gaming character in a swim suit. You can also draw a character with an item typically associated to swimming. Diving goggles, water ball... etc.

- dont steal anyone elses work
- have fun!
- Keep it SFW

1 win goes to the best entry (decided by vote), another 1 win a for random entry. Submit your entries until the new daily deals come up, 7 pm GMT+2.

Let's say £15. If I end up paying sub-£5 (randomness might make me a cheapskate!), I'll stump up another one.

Edit: Actually, would it be better if I kept generating games until I hit a total between £10 and £15? That reduces the risk of someone getting a 99p prize, at least, although I can't help but feel that it takes away a little of the excitement and jeopardy from it!


Edit2: I guess if we call it "Russian Roulette" instead it makes it clear that you might get something really crappy!

I did. I think I ran through them too quickly. I even read Toma's post. In the second level I put the H=H into the output zone with an out blue out command but nothing happens.

Could you guys please crosscheck your gifts in the OP? Just to make sure. Everything in cursive is still in your hands (which is fine), while non cursive gifts should be stuff that you gave me. Just so I can be sure I didnt mess that up :p
