I know the urge to get out the torches and pitchforks is strong, but nobody is winning multiple games on purpose.

Its nowhere as bad as the javadots saga lol

 

[Fox318]

I won the red snapper

 

[damaph]

ModBot:

I know how you feel. Congrats to all the winners and thanks honerless for the awesome giveaway!

 

[LiquidSolid]

Wok again. *shakes fist*

Seems like a surprising amount of repeat winners.

Oh well, hats off to honorless. Awesome giveaway.

 

[Stumpokapow]

I'll check the debug logs, give me a few minutes.

[Dingotech]

Congrats to all the winners!

Thanks again for that awesome giveaway!

 

[oipic]

Thank you once again, honorless, for your off-the-scale levels of generosity - it won't be forgotten here anytime soon (particularly by those of us lucky enough to have our names drawn out of the hat).

Thanks too to Stump for providing the mechanism for it all to play out in such dramatic fashion - the prize draw was an event in itself!

 

[BruteUA]

Well, to my defense, I'm joking here ! And I'm sure a lot of people too, after all it's a free for all raffle.

Sorry, I wasn't calling anybody out. I was just thinking "What would The_Monk say?"

 

[honorless]

This was a lot of fun. If you won, enjoy; good luck next time if you didn't.

Also...I'm pretty sure most people know this already, but please don't be an asshole to anyone who won multiple times. Or to Tenrius 'cause he got the big prize. If I hear about shit going down I'll start permablocking people.

Well I'm only taking Receiver and I'm going to give away a crap ton of games at the end of the month with the second one I won.

I'm glad. I hope a few of the other people who won twice or three times consider doing the same with the games they won, but I won't blame them if they don't and it's out of my hands anyway.

 

[Colin.]

Well, that was a bust for me *rips up steam lotto tickets*

But again, thanks for the opportunity, very generous. And congrats to the winners!

 

[Storm360]

Congrats to the winners, hope you enjoy your new games!

 

[Rickenslacker]

Thanks again for the generous giveaway honorless. Congrats to all the winners.

 

[inm8num2]

Many, many thanks Honorless. I somehow won twice and don't know if that should have happened. I see others won twice and some even won thrice, so perhaps I shouldn't feel dirty.

 

[Various Artists]

man, won nothing, profound sadness,

 

[Cuban Legend]

Modbot has 650 unclaimed garbage keys and counting for the end of the month giveaway.

holy fucking shit this is gonna be a good month! Any idea on the stipulations of the giveaway?

 

[Exuro]

I won the red snapper

Very tasty.

 

[TheSeks]

Not bothered by the slight DS2 delay since it seems like it's just a week or two. The more offensive news is learning that you can apparently be invaded while in undead form now. They've reduced me to playing it with my internet disconnected now.

New feature: Invasions can be done even offline.

*pre-order canceled*

 

[toddhunter]

Remember that could be 647 origin humble bundle keys.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Wok's double win is legit. creamsugar's win 1->2 is legit but not 2->3, FauX's appears to be 15 minutes on the dot. woo and indeed hoo's is 9 minutes. Don't worry about it though guys! Gotta check in on the throttle code. It calculates the number of previous wins over the last week properly, and the throttle timer properly, but seems to be an issue with the final check.

This reminds me I should take my one that was unclaimed out and see if anyone wants it again. How do I do that if I forget my modbot code for it?

Steam needs to do something about wallpaper prices. I would say 9/10 games the wallpaper prices are at 0.03 cents. Not even worth putting up for sale. I was thinking perhaps some sort of Trading Card crafting system. Where so many wallpapers could be turned into a random card. But obviously that could be abused so who knows. All I can do is just sit on a pile of em.

If anything they should give the option to cycle through wallpapers randomly.

 

[roosters93]

Congrats to all winners.

Much thanks for Fez

You're welcome! Congrats on member status too!

 

[TheSeks]

Got it, thanks. I keep forgetting there's a separate thread for that.

 

[Sajjaja]

I won Gunpoint! Thanks honorless.

 

[Grief.exe]

Would buy Black Armor edition if it was confirmed Steamworks activation.

Look at the fine print, "PC release date to be announced."

 

[JDHarbs]

Congrats to all winners.

I had to go back and check that just now after you said it. Feels like the last day of Freshman year all over again.

Not to mention a delete/trash option for useless vouchers.

 

[honorless]

On the threshold of Dark Souls II and I still need to get around to Demon's Souls. Maybe this winter... :/

I won Gunpoint! Thanks honorless.

HAHAHA, a game that even your laptop can handle perfectly!

Definitely keep me updated on that. Think i'll preorder ASAP but if it's somehow not steamworks activation will probably cancel.....maybe.

Hot damn. Can't wait to see that post. Will be a mad house.
Hopefully all the games are labeled properly

Definitely usually I trade them to my friend and make him sit on them lol.

 

[KarmaCow]

That figurine is probably going to be their justification for charging a ton for it. I just want that art book.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Found the bug. It's fixed. The bug was in the error message code.

lol it's quite perfect isn't it?



The new Dark Souls 2 trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVtIb8lkAxc

Also, it's almost guaranteed someone will up-res (or just decipher) that picture of the Dark Souls 2 map and be able to read the names of the locations.

If it's Steamworks activated it might be the first physical PC release I buy since HL2: Episode One.

Im really not digging the way the current advertising has been going. They were serious about trying to grab a bigger audience. As long as the games as good as Dark Souls or Demons Souls is all that really matters though.

 

[MikeDip]

I won Chaos Engine! Thank you honorless!

 

[Momentary]

I hope that's the console version they used for the trailer.

Question, if I make a raffle with the command NOWINNERSDAILY, winners of honorless' raffles shouldn't be eligible, right?

 

[arts&crafts]

Damn I felt guilty putting my vote into 8 of those codes but I lost them all so all is right

 

[FauX]

I haven't noticed until now that I won Anodyne too!!!

THANKS LORD HONORLESS! <3

 

[Parsnip]

Congrats to everyone who won in the big guveaway!

 

[Stumpokapow]

correct (all the rule-based throttles worked properly before now, btw--it was just the global throttle that had the error)

 

[Timedog]

Does it go by day of the month or exactly 24 hours from the start of the players last win?

EpicNameBro got to play the beta pre-TGS and his impressions are here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CGvXh_pEWs

I just started watching it so I can't sum up anything right now. I'll try to update this post while I go.

EDITS-
1: Can be invaded anytime as long as you're online (hollow or human). When you die, your max HP decreases and the more often you die (I think in hollow form) the more it decreases.
2: There is a covenent to auto summon another player when invaded, another covenant to be summoned to help.
3: White summon stones have 2 types, regular and small. This means that their duration in your world is limited and the sizes of the stone change that time allotted to them.
4: Casting speed is now increased by the "attunement," stat.
5: ***ENB not 100% sure about this*** Magic and Fire are strengthened by Intelligence. Lightning and Dark strengthened by Faith. Poison and Bleed strengthened by DEX.
6: New stat that affects evasion and trap disarming. ***Could be DEX, could be called Agility, ENB not sure***
7: Parry timing is different. Has a wind up.
8: Enemies seemed to be more aggressive.
9: Demo hinted connections to Dark Souls 1 lore (obviously).
10: Landing a parry knocks down the enemy.
11: New riposte timings.
12: New riposte/backstab animations.
13: New zweihander animations.
14: New leap attack. Start up seemed slower, but longer jump.
15: Combat feels a little slower in general.
16: Difficulty in backstabbing seems to change depending on weapons (though it may be ENB adjusting to the enemies), but thinks some weapons have different windows.

Again, all of this isn't concrete, just stuff he noticed and all probably subject to change.

24 * 60 * 60 seconds from the second that it does the final check after processing the entry

 

[TheSeks]

I'd assume 24 hours from the start of YOUR giveaway.

Beaten by Stump basically saying the same thing.
