An abysmal response but not exactly surprising. You can try asking radMonkey to look into it for you.
Edit: Since it's been several hours, I'll ask again: anybody up for a Strike Vector four-pack? $5.05 (plus PayPal's transaction fee, if applicable) per head. I need three sets of helping hands.
I think what happened was a bunch of my Play x game for the first time credits from the last month and a half all unlocked at once on my GMG account yesterday and they took this as SAM activity instead of an error with their own system. I sent radMonkey a PM so hopefully someone with some sense can sort this out.
Yeah. Apparently, he's just grabbing up stuff other people didn't. Which I guess is fair, but it's resulting in me getting one receipt a day, every day, from the same person, which is annoying.
Also, I went and counted. Had to edit it. It's not three, it's... eight, so far...
Vanya is one of the best horse handlers in her regiment. She trains and retrains warhorses, never expecting or wanting more. Until the night that a dragon is dragged into camp in chains. Used to training dangerous animals, Vanya is assigned to tame and train the dragon. She's never encountered a dragon before, but is told that only a woman can train a dragon. As she attempts to reach the wild creature, it resists every trick she knows. When it breaks free and traps her beneath it, it quickly becomes apparent why only a woman can train a dragon. Is Vanya willing to truly tame the dragon? Or will it rip her apart?

Ran Sleepy Dawgs for the Playfire rewards and it doesn't seem to like my PS4 controller.
Not even DS4tool works well with it, resulting in the Right stick constatnly turning WHEN I am controlling Wei Shen.
Ask for proof. The only way GMG can ascertain SAM usage is if at least one achievement has a suspicious unlock time (e.g. obviously someone who's only spent an hour with Skyrim couldn't obtain Delver [clear 50 dungeons]).
Someone in my friends list today managed to unlock the 3 requisite The Ball achievements without unlocking any of the others. Somehow they managed to at least get to the last level to find all the secrets in the game without getting the any of the achievements for finishing all the previous levels! SAM users, you might want to be more subtle maybe?

Personally, I think modbot should be weighted towards top givers. >_>
I think my ratio of give to get is like 25:1.
In all honesty, I'm actually really happy to give things away and make people super happy. I'm more annoyed seeing a limited number of people pick up a bunch of games.
Oh. Hey. It's 21 games. Next giveaway I do, Kupi, you goin' on the block list. Not that I mind giving games, but good god.
Did you contact them to get your balance resolved or did they contact you?
I just set mine up yesterday, and all my rewards came at once. But definitely didn't get all of them. I wonder if they think it's easier to ban people than resolve their balance issues. Boooo

Seems like a good reason to re-install, if they find a way to put the items on the Steam Marketplace so I can make Steam bux. Otherwise, it's back to CS:GO to grind out some cases because: love that game. Also: Steam bux.

Edit: FYI, there are still some games that haven't been given away yet. Don't do it for me, do it to stop the Sith.
It should be impossible for one to win multiple games from the same giveaway on the same day when it specifies no winners daily. After the timer, it should be first come first serve
Also fez was in that amazing bundle with guac, antichamber, swapper and dust
I'm guessing most of those other entrants were, at the time they entered, ineligible - or something like that.
Speaking of ModBot, I take it he's still having server woes? I've been trying to nuke a key for several hours now, but with no joy. I'll try again tomorrow, I guess - I trust Stump has this stuff in hand.
Yeah so would I. But it would most likely engender the type of "end and new thread posts" that were supposed to be mitigated by transitioning the thread to a monthly format.
It counts as entrants even people who don't qualify for it. The giveaway had rules like not being a lurker, not having won a game the day before, and that you had to do at least one giveaway yourself. The other entrants did not qualify in one or more of those.
I wish I could've participated in that giveaway, since there were some sweet-ass games in there. Alas, I've never done a giveaway because I'm saving my spares up for two reasons: I want to do a mega-giveaway too, and I want there to be at least one actually desirable game in there. Who really wants C-RUSH or Beatbuddy?

My mom had the same thing happening. Not looking forward to explaining what the hell a SAM is if the Playfire staff thinks that happened because of using a cheat machine.
Really don't get why people would use it, makes the rewards less "valuable".
Weird thing; I already unlocked almost every achievement from Arkham City but still got the Playfire rewards. Not complaining, though. They're systems fault, not mine.
Here's hoping that last part stay's that way...

I started playing The Wolf Among Us today. Played for about 20 minutes and what I have seen so far is really promising. But there is one thing that disturbs me very very much. The messages like "Blabla will remember that" etc. can not be turned off it seems. As anyone found a method for it to be disabled? By fidling with ini files or a mod maybe? There are almost a dealbreaker.

The nuking process requires a level of precision in matching that gets in peoples' way sometimes. If this doesn't work or you're trying to nuke a key rather than a url, can you send me the key and I'll nuke it for you later today?
If Barbie isn't discounted before the Summer Sale I'll be left with no choice but to store away a significant portion of the games/pieces of software I buy throughout the sale so I don't accidentally pass 2,999. I could buy the game as soon as the sale starts, of course, but knowing my luck it'd show up among the next set of Flash Sales, haha.
Hey, does anyone know how this GoFundMe stuff works? I'm looking into setting up a campaign after some indie dev people I was talking to recommended it. It's actually for dealing with my health issues--not so much paying for treatment (because who in their right mind would give me $60,000?) as just alleviating the recent pay cut I got as 'punishment' for being sick (my boss is a... strange person, and I'm not having much luck finding other work). I'm looking in to getting on disability, and this'd help until that kicks in.
I just have no idea how to go about one of these successfully, but honestly, I have no idea how else to survive the next few months.

Ah, I see - it is indeed a URL, Stump. Thanks for the tip, and my apologies for having spammed our resident bot with a handful of needless nuke requests today. Cheers.

In the Walking Dead there was a way to turn them off, and I'd assume it's the same for the wolf among us. The only issue is that the option (which I think is under game or gameplay) turns all indicators off as well - so there are no dots on objects you can interact with for example

Is lastpass a good idea? I heard about it before but how secure is that? Because everything has leaks like heartbleed shows.
And if I do use it, will I have to change all my passwords on every site all over again? I just read lastpass has a build in heartbleed checker too now so at least that sounds good.

You assume wrong as your assumption is based upon the incorrect idea that Telltale aren't a bunch of wankers. They removed that option for Wolf and WD S2.
I was encouraged to shoot for $800 (essentially, one day a week, every week, for four months), but I don't even expect to be successful.
The kind of luck I have: my brother was given a brand new Ford, entirely free, after his car broke down (it could have been fixed, has less miles than mine ffs) outside a church. I, for my part, have shoes that are getting so worn down, the footprint is almost entirely one solid blob of rubber.
I could, but that'd take the edge off of my first giveaway being as large as I can make it. A huge 2nd giveaway wouldn't make sense, would it? I wasn't complaining about not being able to enter, really. Mostly just wanted to finally post about why I partake in giveaways but never run any myself.

The multi-entrant stuff are people who entered but didn't qualify. People on the blocklist, people who are lurkers, people who haven't given games away. Darth Kupi is qualifying for every rule except the "haven't won in the last day", but after a day has passed he qualifies for that again. So it's a "legitimate" use of the system within the confines of the rules in that sense.
