I am going to promote something new, but gamer related. I am doing it out of my own pocket because I believe in it and know the people doing it.
I want to be sure that I cater to what you guys really want, so I will go with your choice if there is a clear majority.

If you want to see another choice up there I will add it, assuming it's feasible.

For the hassle of hosting this on the forum, I will be donating $50 to Toady.

[Walter Sullivan]

That's really generous of you man   .
Well, I think that the best option would be the "indie game of your choice" one. There's a lot of awesome indie games out there that are not on steam and stuff, even though they are really good. Besides, more prizes = more chances of winning, right? 

[freeformschooler]

I agree with Walter.

This is ridiculously generous, though. I can't think you enough for the last giveaway.

[Frumple]

Crazy generous person crazy generous It's a good thing.

Look forward to the day I'll have the free income to do stuff like this, though. Anyway, yeah, going for the 10 indies; spreads the love more, it does, and more love is mo' bettah.

[Trapezohedron]

10 indies would be the best, if you'd ask me. And this planned giveaway is very generous, I mean you're willing to spend up to 250$ out of your pocket? Many thanks, man.

[hemmingjay]

Thanks guys. I am encouraged by the response so far. I always prefer to support independent businesses when I can and I am trying to work with someone to kick in even more prizes.

[Knave]

Always lovely to see you being so generous with the DF community!

Put my vote down for the Bronze Bust of Hemmingjay.

[lordcooper]

I voted for the indies, because indies are indie and indie is good.

I must confess that I'm pretty interested in finding out what this is all about.

...indies.

[inteuniso]

Indies are always great to support.

That being said, you're the best Santa I've ever seen Hemmingjay.

[klingon13524]

What is it with you and your generosity? Go back to dictating a secret sweatshop at the north pole or whatever it is people like you do.

[hemmingjay]

It's not all about generosity. It's also about helping people that I care about or believe in. In this case, I get to help people in this community, a project I believe in and I also get to support the indie games industry.

I could easily do these contests on Reddit or Youtube, but this is the unofficial home of goodwill amongst demented folk.

[Kusgnos]

You are a good person. I'm not sure if I told you my opinion on that before.

[nenjin]

I was really tempted to select the last option, just to screw with ya

More winners + bringing fresher games into people's awareness is by far the best option IMO.

And as always, your generosity is part of what makes this forum the place it is.

[hemmingjay]

Well, someone is annoyed by the contests, or has a sense of humor. It's looking like most people would prefer to see more winners, so I am going to see if I can get something more going.

[Nistenf]

amazing hemmingjay is amazing. Just hope it's not a joke, considering the date the poll ends j/k
Indies it is for me
Thank you!
