The Halloween Gift Train: Not as scary as you expected!

The Something Awful Forums > Discussion > Video Games > The Halloween Gift Train: Not as scary as you expected!

Nettle Soup: Jan 30, 2010; Oh, and Jones was there too.

Welcome to the Halloween Gift Train! - I have been assured that this is a real sale and not some sort of spooky ghost sale, so here is a thread! We're still running backwards!

My SteamID is /id/Nettle_Soup, feel free to friend me if you have any issues, or even if you just want to chat.

I tend to respond faster there than by forum PMs, since I spend most of my time refreshing this page and not looking at the control panel.

Please spend a minimum of $7 or �5 or �6.50 - If you don't and your giftee is not happy, you will not be allowed to ride the train again.
Talk to the people either side of you, make some steam friends!
Please keep your wishlists up to date, you can't complain about your gifts if you don't! Please use the wishlist as first priority! Wishlist games are always better.
Bundle codes must be agreed between both parties. Don't just throw a code at somebody, tell them what it is, and if the giftee doesn't want the code, they're free to reject it. Codes are worth 1/2 their Steam value unless they're even cheaper on g2a or something. I'd rather you play once rather than play 20 times with sub-par gifts each time.
Once you've received your gift, please post a confirmation in thread or edit your post!
Post again, or edit your last post once you've gotten and/or given a gift.
If you say "Surprise me", then don't complain when you get something you don't want!

You take a gift from the person below you in the train, and give to the person above, that's basically it!

So you join up by posting your SteamID in the thread as a plain, clickable URL. Just do what other people are doing, and ask if you're not sure, it's ok!

The list when you join looks something like this:
Nettles
Xander
Mid_Ben
You, just signed up.

This is just an example, but you would then give a gift to Mid_Ben, who gives one to Xander, who gives one to me. Basically, sign up, give a gift and then wait for somebody else to sign up and give you one! Again, if you're unsure, sign up and then wait for a list update in the thread, or ask, nobody here bites.

If you sign up and don't post or take or send anything for like, three hours, you might get cut out, please wait til you have a bit of time before signing up, it tends to move pretty quick.

The latest list will always be near the top of the last page of the thread, this below is archive!
I guess I'll start it off, once the sale begins. Just throwing this up in advance.

I have been spending most of my time lately in a super spooky haunted hospital so this might be a bit ramshackle for the first day or so, but we'll see how it goes!

I also have some games to give away, so keep an eye on the thread for steamgifts giveaways! Giveaways are welcome here, it's a friendly place.

Vlaada Chvatil: Sep 23, 2014; Bunny bunny moose moose; College Slice

Year after year, I watch the train choo choo past. I stand on the hill, too scared to buy a ticket. "What if I get a game I don't want?" I say, and turn and walk home.

But this year, for my favorite holiday, emboldened by the crisp fall air and the merry jack-o-lanterns, I have steeled my courage and I would like to ride on the gift train. SKLURB, you are really boring for only wanting games on your wishlist, but whatever I am sending you something as soon as you accept my friend request.

http://steamcommunity.com/id/monstertelevision/
My wishlist is not up to date, nor prioritized in any way, so just pick something at random, send me something you like, spooky indie games, whatever.

I'm so scared of my first ride on the spooky Halloween train!

I would assume that INCO would just gift you, then whomever joins next gifts him.

Meanwhile I am FULL OF SHAME AND HORROR that I have not sent my gift, so please friend me SKLUB! What, do you not check your Steam account every 10 minutes or something?
