Wait, did you enter for every 100% Juice? Because I did and two show only two entrants. If we both didn't win.... I might be throttled but Moddy should still have counted my entry, right?
I only entered for #1. Regardless of being throttled MB should still list all the entrants, yes. I know what the thresholds for the throttles/cooldowns used to be as of about 6 months ago-ish, but Stump hasn't talked about them lately, so I dunno if they're still accurate, and if they are I dunno if Stump wants people touting them.

That's strange then. Or I accidentally didn't enter for that one. I'll ask Stump when he's around, maybe there's a bug somewhere and other entries weren't counted either which could explain the lower than usual numbers.

FC better be this year! *shakes fist*

no worries, we'll get FC this summer, I'm 99% sure of it.
SC this year is very unlikely. I'd love to be proven wrong, but I don't see how that huge translation and adopting a game to steam, new OS-es can happen this fast, knowing that Xseed is a small company.

VPN Region-Unlocking was never a problem, no matter if key or gift.

this is from Steam TOS
You agree that you will not use IP proxying or other methods to disguise the place of your residence, whether to circumvent geographical restrictions on game content, to purchase at pricing not applicable to your geography, or for any other purpose. If you do this, we may terminate your access to your Account.

You might never be caught but are you willing to risk your account?

Had this sitting in my Steam inventory, hopefully somebody is after a copy. :)

Hehe, I actually am

Well catching up on this thread overnight was like 'Waifus, waifus everywhere'. Need to clean my eyes out.

I believe it was you who posted that big overview on Teslagrad. If it was just want to say thanks for that. The game is really good. Probably going to plow through it tomorrow.

People use VPNs left and right for unlocking games in general, to play earlier and whatnot. As long as you don't use such methods to buy directly from steam, you will be fine. Many (including myself) doing it for years now.

But yeah, if you don't feel comfortable with it, just don't do it.

Just got done messing with Sunrider for a bit, and it actually seems pretty decent. The writing and art are both solid, the music's surprisingly good, and I like the whole hybrid visual novel-with-tactical battles thing they've got going on. I may have to try to invest some time in it and play all the way through at some point.

I plan to try it this weekend, good to know that it's worth downloading.
I like all kinds of genre mixes, hopefully this one works.

there is no NOWINNERSDAILY rules tho?
I believe I remember reading that there is a natural cooldown on chances based on the last time you won. It's not that you have no chance, but your chances are less if it was recently, like say, a couple hours as this will be for me. I think the first tick on the cooldown is 15mins.

I'll be giving it a go on Sunday to cure the hangover, everyone has mentioned that it's pretty good so I'll definitely set aside a few hours for it.

a little more of Trails teasing:

We've been pretty specific about SC, actually. We've been saying for months now that we're targeting the tail end of 2014, but if it makes it, it'll just barely make it. My money is on early 2015, even though officially we're still slated for late 2014 -- but we shall see. ;)

FC is the one we've been wishy-washy about, since that's been the "problem child" for a few months, with new issues cropping up on almost a daily basis. But you should literally be hearing news about it (as in, a definitive release date) like, this week, if all goes well. So it won't be much longer now.

Meanwhile at XSEED:

It more than a reduction of chances, you straight up can't win anything from modbot for 15 minutes. (or an hour or a day, depending)

No worries. It's a bit hard to pin down exactly what type of game it is but does play like a puzzle platformer, the map and the progression is like a metroidvania game, plus there is a subtle story and backstory that plays out as you explore more of the tower.

Actually how does the throttling policy work? If I win waifu simulator I can't win AO?

No, there's a 15 minutes countdown for everyone which is irrelevant here. But then there's also a limit to how many giveaways you can win over a span of a few days and if you reach that threshold you're blocked for a while.

I entered for 2 and 3 :p

Which means Moddy is drunk as he shows only one entry. See the discussion on the last page.
