    Winning NUMBERS are not to be disclosed.

    I will say surprisingly two numbers were exact!

    why can't you disclose the winning random number? I do not see a point to keep that a secret after everyone won?

    What's the point of disclosing numbers? He already said it's completely up to him how he chooses the numbers... I'm sure it was partly both really randomly generating it and pulling out of his butt. I assume he wants to keep it that way too.

    interesting i thought you were drawing one number and the 8 closest got it. I see your pulling several random numbers for each copy.

    Okok for this drawing, I shall share how others were unconditionally kind to me. I have two games on my steam account. Braid and L4D, both of which were given to me as gifts (by two different people).

    Edit: Nvm, I'm saving this story for the next drawing... I decided I'm not interested in Osmos :p

    Thanks! But nah, I'll pass. I amassed a total of 6 hours on L4D... FPS isn't really my thing. I'd feel bad for the dude who gave me L4D, but he works at Valve so I'm sure he got it for free some way or another.

    Vicious ate the elves when he was drunk. I'm busy dating :p

    He needs to give time for the winners to PM him their steam emails anyway. He won't just sit around for hours waiting for them to log on.

    No. The forms aren't that sophisticated (I don't think so, ask ViciousXUSMC)

    That is a good point though. I guess we need to come up with a contingency on that....

    I'm thinking if two numbers are the same, then the next person to guess it, I will PM you and you will either have to guess again with your number at least 99 away from the original pick, or I can draw a random number for you.

    Yeah, I want the person to know though what their number changed to, so I changed it so that I will PM them and they can change it themselves (minimum 99 away from the original number) or I will choose a random number for them if they choose.

    I was going to point fingers at Reizo, but I was giving him the benefit of the doubt.

    But the smiley I think just incriminated him... Off to the Guillotine!
