So I've been running the
Everyday cheer for the unlucky giveaway for a while now, which was meant to give a little joy to those who find themselves on the wrong side of happiness (and I encourage you to read the original giveaway text).
I guess not too many people are miserable, which is great!, but not many games were gifted away, so I think it's time to do something new: let's just make the world a better place by giving games away!
Giveaway: the rules!The rules are pretty simple.
- To enter, post in this thread
- You must be a contributing member of this community (Escaped Lunatics need not apply)!
- You can ask for one game at a time
- First come, first serve
- If you get a game, you must promise to perform a random act of kindness to someone else
- To avoid this becoming a trade thread, giving games away does not count as an act of kindness
- Eventually report the act of kindness (if it's not kinky!) in the forum
So the general idea is that in order to get a game, you must make someone's life a little better. Volunteer at local charities, help an old lady cross the street, give some money to those in need, smile at someone who is looking down, offer a shoulder to cry on, make dinner for your family, help someone carry their shopping home, anything!
Bonus internet brownie cookie points if instead of a single act of kindness, you just generally become kinder. Society isn't about "me, me, me", it's about being part of a community and helping it out selflessly. Everyone has emotions just like you do, and we, as a race, are becoming increasingly blind to that fact... once we become acutely aware of it, it becomes so much easier to help someone who is going through a rough time. And then the world becomes a better place

And finally, more amazing offers by
guitarxe!:
- Humble Spiderweb Software Weekly Bundle #1- Humble Spiderweb Software Weekly Bundle #2- Humble Spiderweb Software Weekly Bundle #3
- Any game, $15 or less!DisclaimerI think I've gotten all of these right - if I've put more on here than I actually have, I do apologise in case you get your hopes up!
Also, if you offered games in the previous thread, THANK YOU! I have not transferred them over here since the purpose of this one is different. Just let me know if you want to add games to this list. I'll gift mine first, in case you need to retract yours at some point!
Please, please!...... make this work. I feel the world really would become a better place if we started paying more attention to the fact that other people have feelings too; and if our lives were less about ourselves, and more about those around us.
Also, please come back and say what you did that was kind and nice, and the reaction of whoever you did it to!
