[HEADING=1]The Christmas Giveaway is finally live![/HEADING]
The Escapist Community has always been a favourite one of mine, and in case you haven't noticed my username, I don't exactly show my face here often enough for you to know me. But, it is almost that time of year again, and I wanted to show my thanks for you guys being so wonderful.

All of December I will be giving away games each day until there is nothing left in my box of goodies. And I know what you're thinking, "Hey, why is this being posted in November if this is a Christmas giveaway, ya dingus?" And to that I say, wow rood; but there is a reason to this madness. Starting today, you can start earning entry points that help you increase your chances of winning, come December. It is worth noting that just because you have more points, you aren't guaranteed a win! Just your chances are higher (Anyone who's played XCOM should be used to this by now.)

[HEADING=1]ARE YOU NOT HYPE YET?[/HEADING]

[HEADING=2]Here is the URL![/HEADING]
https://gleam.io/pjD2O/qs-christmas-giveaway

[HEADING=3]How This Works[/HEADING]
Everything you may want to know is posted in the terms and conditions on the giveaway itself. I'll give a synopsis here, but you can find the terms and conditions at the bottom of the giveaway landing page.
To enter, simply visit the URL provided above, and scroll all the way down. At the bottom of the page, you will see 5 different ways to enter! Click the ones that you want to complete, and use those to generate entry points. These entry points will pool together under your account you've created, and will be randomly selected against other people who have also entered. More points may not mean you get selected, but it's better to have more just in case!

[HEADING=3]What's the Catch?[/HEADING]
There isn't one. At most, I require an email address from you to contact you if you won. As a secondary, a lot of games require Steam to activate, trade, or acquire, so you may need a Steam account. This also applies to any games requiring Uplay, Origin, ect. All the games, except those listed, are purchased by me personally. If any game codes or copies are deemed invalid, I will try my best to reimburse the product and get a replacement as soon as possible.

[HEADING=3]Why do this?[/HEADING]
I've done this giveaway every year for a long time, but this is the first time I've tried marketing it to a larger audience. So if you take part, just remember you're in the firsties for the big raffles.

[HEADING=3]Other FAQ:[/HEADING]
[li]Why do you need my email and name?[/li]
I need your email to get in touch with you just in case you win. Your name does not have to be your real name, it is just like a username. I will not give out your information and will not send you anything unless you win. Unless you want me to, in which case I have a large folder of cute animal gifs that you may enjoy.

[li]The page is just a black screen! What is wrong?[/li]
Google Chrome has been reported before to break the raffle landing pages now and then. If you have problems, please switch browsers. (I use chrome and it has worked so far.)

[li]Can I donate games to make the raffle bigger?[/li]
Yes, please contact me via Steam or Email to discuss this. Please note however, that I cannot offer you anything in return for your donation, beyond crediting you in the Terms and Conditions page, and letting you select which days the games get given out.

If you have any questions, you can message me at:
Email: sayurimagmarashi@gmail.com
Steam: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198042189704/
Escapist: Click my avatar and stalk my profile, I won't judge

I would appreciate any feedback on anything involved here. What games am I missing? What games should I include next year? Is there a spelling error that needs corrected? Please let me know! If I can make this giveaway more streamlined and more simple for the users entering, then I will strive for it. How can I make this better for you?

Thanks for entering, and thanks for being awesome.

Huh...Seems legit and I don't mean that the sarcastic way either.
Maybe should have done it a bit later on rather then right on Halloween tho, I think a lot of people might forget about it by the time it actually starts about a month from now.

Eh, just hope I don't get one of the games I already own. D:

Yeah, I plan to update this thread, or make another announcing the giveaways themselves in December. I did it this early so that I can get the hype going, and there is still time to add more before December 1st <3

I would gladly add it to the event if you would like to contribute it. Just please keep in mind that I am unable to offer anything to you outside of crediting you in the giveaway, and letting you choose when you want it given out.

Thanks again for the support!
