    Except he didn't because he doesn't show up on the actual program and it won't allow me to send him a friend request online.


    I messaged them and to be blunt Yak that's all I'm going to do, I shouldn't have to waste my time trying to track people down and give them free stuff. If they want their stuff they can PM me with a correct link and Ill happily send it over.

    I'm scratching my head over that one. I just sent a friend request to him without a problem.

    I wouldn't know but I haven't slept in three days and I tried sending him one six times only for it to give me one various error message or another and I'm kind of loosing patience. I really don't mean to sound like a dick when I say it but at this point if he wants it he can message me on Steam or here and Ill happily pop it over to him. If however I don't hear anything from them before the end of the Steam Christmas sale I will be giving away their presents to new people.

    It took a few tries for me to get through, and I noticed if I used the web browser it constantly logged me out and returned invitation can't be sent errors. did it through the steam web browser though and it finally took.

    I applied to the list, and I even had two DLP members friend invite me. Nothing has happened yet. Should I worry or just keep lazing around?

    Be patient guys, it's New Year's Eve/Day. Don't expect fast turn around. I'm on vacation, that's the only reason I was able to turn around my group so fast.

    And yeah, some folks got multiple games, hopefully dependent on how much they put in or how long they'd been around, lol.

    *Ehem*, Ayamabuki. Any interest in trading for a Bulletstorm? I honestly can't see myself playing it, even though I do appreciate the gift for what it is...

    (I had actually specifically asked for a Borderlands GOTY, but didn't win the luck of the draw.)

    You have both.

    It's called patience.

    What's with you thinking that people add you just because you think they want to gift you?
    I add DLP members because they're awesome, and I'd like to have them on my friends list.

    If someone hasn't taken the time to give the proper info then fuck them. Seriously. I spent 5 hours on this yesterday, and I'm well aware that I've made mistakes.

    I had to do it all manually.

    Does this person already have this game?

    Does this person have a MAC?

    Can they run this game?

    Every. Single. Person.

    If I didn't have excel I wouldn't even be done yet.

    I know that despite that some of you are going to complain, and I'm sorry if you've slipped through the cracks. :facepalm But like I said, give it a week.

    Edit: When I say it took me Five Hours I mean it took me from 6:00 PM to 11:05 PM on NYE.

    Nothing against you, Jon. I appreciate what you do for us here. Just some clarification and questions:

    1) Multiple gifts for one person or no?
    2) Screw the person's gift if no contact info or no?
    3) Start building a re-gift list for round 2, since we're gonna have spares floating around with idiots who refuse friend invites/don't give info or no?

    I think if the original recipients flake in one fashion or another then thats just carte blanche for the person with the game to do whatever they please with it. I mean it was enough of a pain for Jon to slap the first list together, I cant imagine he wants to do it again especially not this soon.

    If someone got a game they didn't want, and people still have games (they do, I didn't give out all of them.)

    Then you guys can handle it, no?
