Many thanks to both @GeekInUndies and @Scribesake!

One, unfortunately, was a dud (Scribesake has the details). But two is plenty enough anyway!

I don’t want to sound rude, but did anyone receive their keys?

[Fraggles]

Yes.
Have you not received a message to confirm your winnings?

[matia]

yeah I did

[nooralabase]

I have not received a message of any sorts.

[Scribesake]

This is a good reason to post of who won. Sorry for not getting to you earlier, it’s just that I… I tend to put things out of my mind that I’m not focusing on and well… Completely forgot. THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME. The keys have been sent and now I can enjoy a late lunch.

This is why I use something like this and @YQMaoski uses a spreadsheet.

Here’s a screenshot. Notice the Red rectangle. The winner is BOLDED Then it shows a PM was sent. Then it was activated. IOWS the winner got back to me to let me know it worked. This way it is easy to keep track of what is going on. Once all the winners are done…you are done!!!

Oh and @mandLUL got his key and it was activated…I think He was the last one I was waiting on…LOL

It’s just easier for me to keep track of.

Thanks for being quick to respond! I was hoping it wasn’t only me, but I guess it could’ve been worse.

@nooralabase I humbly apologize for the delay. My dear sweet boy, @Scribesake, is trying to shoulder the blame for something that was entirely my fault. I was absolutely dead set on hosting an Ides of March giveaway, even though I was going back to work full time (10-16 hr work days). All of the giveaways that I have been a part of this year, prior to March, were thematically tied to a holiday. I didn’t want to skip a month and I felt Saint Patrick’s Day was too “on the nose”. There was also a very strong desire to giveaway the final ½ of the 80 games that I had at the start of this year (20 in Jan, 20 in Feb, 40 in Mar). In short, that is why I had disclaimers…

@GeekInUndies

• This giveaway will end on Friday, March 15th 2019 at the time the Daily Deal updates.
• The winners will be decided by Discobot’s RNG die rolls shortly after the giveaway ends.
• There might be a delay of up to 2 days before winners are notified of the game they have won.
• The winners must reply back within 24 hours of being notified to receive their game. If you fail to reply back in time, the game will be forfeited and we will re-roll the winner for that game.
• There is a very small chance that a Steam game key may not work; there will be NO replacement, but send a message so the matter can be looked into. However infinitesimal that it may be, there is the potential for clerical error.

…to cover my ass, so to speak. I also asked several members of my Chrono Fam if they could handle some of the logistics. Like me, one “family member” was putting in long hours at work on top of juggling other responsibilities. @Scribesake was kind enough to run the giveaway in my stead, even though his life was busy too. I kept in touch with him off and on throughout the weekend, to ask if he had questions and to see how things were going. Anyways, if there is/was a problem, I am sorry. Blame me, not him. Reach out to @Scribesake and I if there is an issue, we might be able to resolve it.

Truth be told, its gonna be a hot minute before I host another giveaway. Short of vacation, I will be working full time (55+hr/week) till Late October. Also, I have no more Steam Keys currently. All 80 games are gone now, lessons were learned, and a vast majority of people received free games… so it was basically a win/win/win situation.

Thanks for being quick to respond! I was hoping it wasn’t only me, but I guess it could’ve been worse.

@Scribesake, thank you once again for all of your help and @nooralabase I am glad that everything worked out in your favor.

[nooralabase]

Thanks for being honest. I’m glad it all worked out.
