    Steamgifts took forever to load for me, last night; when it finally did, it gave me some garbage about how it couldn't synch with my Steam account, but that seemed to have sorted itself out after a bit.

    Steamgifts has difficulties pretty regularly; generally reloading a few times fixes things, otherwise try back later :p

    The assigned stuff is done. I handed off the remaining like 40 games that I was keeping track of to Z to distribute, as I'm exhausted of looking at them. Steamgifts has trouble during the sales sometimes, just reload a few times or try again later and it's usually fine.

    Middy, next year, you should totally delegate a portion of these stuff to a staff member or something. I mean, honestly, you do a lot for DLP, you set aside your free time (time better spent doing stuff, I'm sure) assigning us games and stuff.

    Seriously, you should get a couple minions and be done with it. You have the power.

    USE IT

    It was only 287 lines to sort through and assign, ...wait.. yeah that was insane lol. I'm going to have help next year instead of slogging through 85% of it then asking for help. The biggest thing to help:

    WISHLISTS

    Don't wishlist everything, but have 10-20 games on your wishlist. AND ACTUALLY HAVE ONE! Out of the 200+ members we have in the steam group, there was at least 100 of them that didn't have wishlists. Around 90 people got games, several opted out, several had everything. The other 100 I cbf to ask them what they wanted, because it got stupid with me asking so many times for folks to make them. The other thing is to make your profile public, so I can use the wishlist app to sort through them all.

    Banning bundles and the most seen games will help a ton too. I wanted to do it last year, but I didn't want to come off like I was slapping folks in the face if they only bought cheap games. I'm going to HAVE to do it for next years, because lets face it, if the game is on sale for 2$, anyone who wants it, is going to have it. If it's a bundle package, they're going to spend the 1$ and get the steam keys. Spend 7$ and get a AAA title during the Spring, Summer, Fall sales, instead of buying multiple 2$ indie flash sale games.

    Thanks again for organizing this Mid and thanks Big Z for the game.

    Aside from that I think for games still left either create a group giveaway or post here to see if anyone is interested.

    I still have Terraria here and my giveaway spots are occupied by Yak so... anyone?

    Also I never bought any of the bundles(not having a credit card cuts me off from most sites really) so if anyone has one bothering them I am here. ;)

    You should give them away to a good home. My library would be a good place. Plenty of space to run around and play with other games. :p

    Same here. If people have extras I would love to grab some.

    It's ok since you've already done it and I was planning on letting you put both on SG anyway but for everyone else, would you please hold off on putting games on general callout/steamgifts until I post something to that effect? There is still some last minute assigning going on which should be done soon.

    In this exact case, I didn't even list GCII with my original short collection of things I had to offer. And everything else was given out as per Midknight's pm ;D

    But yeah, sorry for rushing a bit.

    Well, now that distributing is done, if anyone still have some extra games they want to give out, that'd be cool :p I didn't reach the 100$ limit to use steam gifts, so unfortunately haven't gotten anything yet :(

    Please do not make giveaways on SG for the games you've promised for DLP Secret Santa until I personally pm you or post here to give the ok. There is still some game distribution going on.
