Thanks for your record keeping when this thread started and for all the generosity as the thread plodded along thru the insomnia craziness. Sorry for any confusion I may have inadvertently created thru my pm's.

Wow, that is blatant. Is there some kind of 'do not gift, do not trade' blacklist in existence that everyone can refer to?

IAmSinistar: Basic reading comprehension is so important, I'm sorry to see some parents neglecting it.

Also, do not PM me AND reply to the thread. That's a quick way to get yourself blacklisted from my giveaways, as well as develop a reputation as a pest or scammer.
Us old-timers are on the ball today :D

There is no point given users can change names in an instant and make multiple accounts. I'm planning to get a guide for newcomers (and some old timers) to minimise the chances of this happening as often as it does.

Tarnicus: Thank you very much for the Zork code that craig_ethan_123 passed onto me. he has been attempting to trade it just as he has been attempting to trade the Witcher that he was gifted and probably every other gift.

Remember guys how I kept warning about being careful with gifting? http://www.gog.com/forum/general/mahayo/post51

I mentioned social engineering and scamming in this thread. This is the first one ousted...they can change names in an instant, change accounts, etc etc. I will write more verbosely on this tomorrow.

PLEASE BE SMART ABOUT YOUR GIFTING! These are the parasites that GOG attracts now as we have a reputation for being darn nice generous people :)

Democracy 3
Heretic Kingdoms
Crusaders
Smugglers

stg83: Then Sam and Max: Keaned the World was a keander surprise as a lot of folks were waiting for it including myself but like me they probably succumbed to slumber.
Basically this. I still have that one as a retail copy but it would have been nice on GoG. But sleep was stronger this time. The good thing is, with GoG there will always be another sale ^_^
In the end I didn't buy nearly as many games as a lot of you, nor as many as I thought I did when compared to the time that I invested in the sale, but I like the idea of posting a "Final Haul", so here is mine:

For Me:
King's Quest IV+V+VI
Police Quest 1-4
Quest for Glory 1-5
Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space
Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse
Space Quest 4+5+6
The Zork Anthology

For Gifting:
Evil Genius
Quest for Glory 1-5
Sam & Max: Save the World (freebie!)

Total Damage:
$25.16 CAD
12+ hours of sleep lost over 3 days

All-in-all, I had a lot of fun this time around! Knowing that a master list exists (once the first round is completed) definitely helped my sanity. I also learned that if you're going to stay up for a game, it's best to make it in Round 2, not 3. The Devil's Playhouse nearly killed me....

I'll distribute the gifts sometime in the future, to some I arbitrarily deem worthy. Sleep well, kiddos!

Dexterus: That would be kindly appreciated! - said old timer, whos new user on the forum.
Thanks Tarnicus, I fit in to this category too. I'm typically a lurker on forums, but everyone's enthusiasm really inspired me to join in the fun this time. I think I'd feel a bit sad if I knew I'd gifted people games who wouldn't want to play and enjoy them , but simply use them as a commodity : ( I kinda gave Stilton my "Play with your toys, Damn it!" rant a little earlier ... I'm definitely looking forward to possibly doing a giveaway of my own, if I don't end up giving each code out directly. lol.

Edit just to clarify any possible misinterpretation here: Stilton is absolutely charming, and was kind enough to listen to me ramble shortly about how this kind of behaviour irritates me, rather than having acted in any dishonourable way. I just seem to fail at communicating things in text, hence the mostly lurking ...

So you're telling us, that you've boght more games for gifting, than for yourself? Allright don't worry, stay calm Sinistar! Those two gentleman in white are just going to give you this nice white jacket. Oh that rifle you ask? Oh its filled with sedatives, in case an...elephant, yeah an elephant should randomly decide to rampage through the city.

hahaha that last one is way cool :)
This sale was a blast! First and foremost because of this forum and this thread in particular.

It's been a long time since I've been active at all on any forum, but this sale and the great conversation has been enjoyable and really drew me in. Thanks to all who contributed to that enjoyment!

And thanks GOG for some great games at amazing prices ... and thanks to those two kind souls who shot me a gift.
