myconv: I am so confused by so much of the OP.
It says we must enter before January/in December, but then latter it says we must enter by Jan 3. Which is it? I guess the latter since the OP is only 10 hours old? But how is there winners listed already if it's not over yet?
What it meant is that entrants must have joined GOG before January 2021....and also that those who joined in December 2020 can enter but they will be scrutinized more than others before being awarded a prize.
As for January 3rd, that is when the random draw prize will be drawn.
myconv: " enter for the prize categories"
You mean we need to pick one out of several choices? Very unclear.
It means that one can pick a game from the list of games, enter for the random draw, or both.
myconv: "Entrants must add me as PM contact here on GOG, during the contest the very least, so I can send them any won prizes."
Not sure what that means, add you as a friend? I got it set so anyone can PM me, will that suffice? Also I can't PM you, it gives me the screen shown in the attached image.
That means that entrants need to be able to receive PMs from me, so they can claim a game they pick from the games list or in case they win the random draw prize. You seem to be able to get PMs from me, so you're all set in that regard.
myconv: "I ask entrants to try to stay within the forum's tos if they do so"
I couldn't find any GOG TOS, do you mean this?
https://www.gog.com/forum/general/forum_regulations?
Yes, that is what I meant....if a person posts a non gaming prediction, I ask them to stay within the forum rules so that the thread doesn't get moderated.
myconv: Can I give a political prediction? That wouldn't be "discussion".
If you want.
myconv: I see people mentioning what game they want, I don't see that in the OP. If I win I'd have to look up the games left and see which one I'd want, so I'm not going to do that ahead of time.
The list of games is in the section of the first post(the op post) titled:
Games List Entrants(as said above in this same reply) can pick a game from that list, enter for the random draw(which is for a gog store credit), or both.
myconv: A good game memory is getting Galactic Civilization 2 for free from another give away thread last year, it was a daggered title even. And then Blade Runner a week ago or so.
Nice memories. :)
myconv: My prediction for next year is, I'll play it safe and say at least one human will be alive by the end of next year. No political discussion there, right? It's a nice hopeful prediction for the future.
Yep
myconv: I hope this works, and I am considered entered correctly, if not, please tell me what I did wrong and how to fix it.
No, you're all set....now you can: 1. Pick a game from the first post's games list.
2. Enter for the random draw(which will be drawn January 3rd, and is for a gog store credit)
3. Or even both. :)

igorche9: Probably my favorite gaming memory of 2020 is Baldur's Gate 3 early access, it is very promising, making me ambitious for the games full release.
I hope it will be good too. :)
igorche9: Prediction for 2021 - announcement of the release of gta 6 in the near future.
Sounds good...GTA can be fun sometimes.
Btw check yer PM in a bit....and thanks for playing along with us. :)
(Btw since you didn't opt out, I will put your name in the list for the random draw...you are free to opt out if you want, though, at any time)

ciemnogrodzianin: The game I'll always remember as Game of 2020 is
Hollow Knight. It was something totally different than I expected (I thought it's just kind of platformer) and it turned out to be something much more – almost life-changing experience, something that opened for me new areas of gaming and new ways of approaching games. I remember my daughter telling me "
dad, let's try to beat that boss one more time" :D and I rememember realizing soon after that it wasn't even boss, who was killing me xD After completing that game I'm a different person and I can even see how this game made some impact on my attitude at work (!).
It warms my heart to hear people enjoying fond memories with family and gaming. :)
ciemnogrodzianin: My guess for 2021 is obvious and cannot be anything else – we're going with my whole family into the fascinating journey of
Hollow Knight: Silksong, the good Lord willing! :D
Yay...more gaming memories ahead! :D
ciemnogrodzianin: I'd like to be in for
Call of Cthulhu: Shadow of the Comet. I've completed "Call of Cthulhu: Prisoner of Ice" years ago (I guess I should buy it here also, as I don't expect to ever find my CD), but I still don't know the "Shadow of the Comet" – would be nice! :)
I also like Prisoner of Ice.
ciemnogrodzianin: Happy New Year to GamezRanker and to everyone here!
You too...now go check yer PM, friend. :)
(Btw since you didn't opt out, you are also entered ffor the random draw on January 3rd, unless you decide to opt out :))
