Built in Twister? I may use it myself :ROFLMAO:

I guess you really haven't been around long enough to know I was going to add that to my own generator, but its randomization is always 'needed to be seeded' at such an insanely high number that i decided against it for a random generator that is going to be selecting a number between like 1-30 tops.

I didn't know they built it into excel but I'm guessing it was meant for fractional purposes where a small number would be seen as huge.

Your right about the human factor for sure, I actually had to rerun mine during my second raffle after walking away for ten minutes because I went straight from testing to doing the actual winners and I felt I may have unconsciously decided it was satisfactory when those numbers were on the screen...so I went and smoked a couple butts, came back and did one run.

Winners, period. Just to make sure I was fair.

To be honest idc if I ever win or lose, so no big deal to me if you draw paper out of a hat :LOL:

But I don't need a lesson in the Rnd, rand, or rand_s for that matter, let alone the math.

I'm not sure about excel, but in C/C++ it would be done like this to generate a number between 1 and 10.

=INT(RAND()%(10)+1)

Or more properly

=INT(RAND()%(MaxUsers - LowestNum + 1) + LowestNum

Lowest number being 1 always. The percent instead of the multiplication makes it fractional which is the reason for the INT being there at all.

Again I don't use excel so i may be wrong.

In C/C++

it would be

int num = (int)((rand() % (maxUsers - LowNumber + 1)) + LowNumber)

You should never use 0 in a random function especially if its going to go fractional first as it can throw an error with an Integer if it goes below 0.5 or a negative number could be drawn.

Which is also why you add the +1 after subtracting the lowest number so its always a minimal of 1 before division...anyways.

If it works it works, if it throws an error in excel try changing the math, either way good luck with the draw and thanks for the chance ;)

Pfft... I'll leave all this -of yours- in an angry reaction + a lovely 🌵here for the fastest erasure ever seen

AND the most ilogical randomness sake you might find in -your own- numerical methods as effective as meaningful to whatever your pursue

I quit and get distracted on purpose. Cheers

Nice try but NO, I will NOT play your vicious game. But punctual answers:

1) If you win, you win. It will be your problem what to do with the key because your luck give it to you, not me!

2) Did not like the cactus? It was random, sincerely. Be my guest and choose anything else. And any evil thought or association or insulting interpretation keeps in your own tab. All those emojis you sent I interpret them as images, I do not stop to bitter myself finding cruel intentions on them

3) If "sad little GA" is your opinion, I respect it. I am not blind to see I am not offering the most incredible video games in the world's history nor the most joyful GA ever seen in the Galaxy either. Your attempt results so low & nasty to reach any effect on me... Even wars have rules for reasons.
And a reminder to you: Unless the forum named you its "Indie Gala Giveaways Quality Assurance Sheriff" Which I truly ignore, me and anyone can offer whatever they can and want as any voluntary wholeheartedly thing that have to offer, otherwise, not even the most incredible prize will equate the will or the freedom to share. Not to mention that any coercion, demand, intimidation, harrassment, et cetera to give what the giver do not want and/or can offer is totally useless!

IF after this last reply you still feel all that urge to keep writing to me, yet to emoji-me(?!), or brag, or insult, or freely spread sh*t or whatever else you pursuit, do it in private and send me as many PMs as you want
But please react timely as this is my last word to you and I won't answer to those possible PMs
Consider this my formal irrevocable notification to you about my permanent act of blocking you
Scheduled for Thu Sep 1st, 5pm EST (estimated time because I really don't care to be punctual to that matter)
I have known enough about you, to never, ever, cross a word with you. Watch and learn boy!

Holy moly, I cannot believe I won that massive number of keys!!
(Took me some time to process them!)

Thank you so much yaromirro and all the participants!!
Congrats to the winners!!

To keep yaromirros party rocking & rolling, please let me raffle this keys:

-Blood Knights* (y)

-Men of War* :love:

-Ion Assault* :ROFLMAO:

Please react to this post with the corresponding Smilie.

Good luck to all and the raffle will happen in like 48hrs
using the Excel random function
(Yet to figure/remember how it works) :unsure:


* = They may be subject to fail (Are IG giveaway keys)
But in such case, I can offer one of this replacements:
-Men of War
-Scribble It! - Premium Edition
Which are also subject to fail: Are IG giveaway keys...
[Is not recursivity a cool thing?!]
I really apologize, but for evident reasons, which I assume 50% responsibility
I consider pertinent to re-schedule this GA until Sunday
Thanks for your comprehension and sorry again for all the inconveniences caused
Things not always go the way we intend. See you then

... Daedalic really have a lot of great games, they know how to choose projects well. Played First Deponia, Shadow Tactics, The Suicide of Rachel Foster, The Pillars of the Earth, The Last Tinker (this game is not as childish as it seems, you can really spend several evenings playing it) and those are great games, Decay The Mare, Gomo are at least okay, and I have plans to play Anna's Quest and A New Beginning.
Great review, thanks! So pretty much I should just play all their games. Thought so! Off to wishlist the games I dont have ;)
I think that's Origin, GOG had a thing called GOG Connect where you could link your Steam Account to GOG and occasionally they would offer a few Games that you could Redeem on GOG if the Manual Scan showed that you already owned them on Steam. They did that for a while, then they gave up on the idea and left the webpage abandoned (link below) now it just says "More titles coming soon" but they never come.

GOG Connect
Maybe I misunderstood then coz I was sure that there was a way to exchange them, as in give up your steam key for the gog one or the other way round. Interesting info, thanks.
Did you read his description of his DS current state fully? Its basically held together with duct tapes and dreams :ROFLMAO:
I did indeed and just like you repairing that pc, DSs can be repaired. Plenty of spares. Easy to get (inless you're only looking for a hinge which seems to be the most fragile part of them..pfft).

On a side note: your reply to Solin could have just ended with "I was just trying to help" .. sometimes trying to burn someone can backfire.

If you knew solin was one of the accounts used while Vinka was being harassed, you may have a different opinion...in fact I was being polite in the first place

and it was their next post that actually got under my skin, was that one necessary?

Read before you remark. They went to burn me first.
