(Update: To be nice to everyone[had a small "windfall"] this is now a contest. The games will be listed in Post 2 along with the rules)

(Second update: Contest closed....winners to be drawn shortly...people are still free to answer the questions here, though)
===============================================
Seeing as it's been awhile, I figured i'd host yet another little question thread to learn more about my fellow forum goers.

The question this time: Where would you travel if you had the time/money/etc to do so? Or where do you plan on travelling to sometime in your lifetime that you haven't before?

Also why do you want to go there? Fun sights? Good food? The culture?


(Best/most interesting reply(or even at random) will get 5 useless yet shiny rep points for their rep point banks :))

(Second update: Contest closed....winners to be drawn shortly...people are still free to answer the questions here, though)
====================================================================

The contest:
(Make sure to read ALL the following carefully)

Reply to the stuff asked in the OP post, BUT say I'm in as well, along with which of the games you'd like to try and win(one specific game or any 1 of the games) from the list below.

All others not in can just post replies as normal if one just wants to reply to the thread topic.

Update: I will also award one winner the 3 dollar(US) or so game of their choice from the weekly sale....the winner will be drawn from all entries.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rules:

The contest will run from now until midnight tonight(between 1/20 and 1/21, 2020) Eastern Time.

An entrant MUST reply to the thread topic(in Post 1) and answer the questions....either seriously or silly, it makes no difference. :)

1 game win limit per user, awarded based on random number generator or to the sole asker(if there is only one asker for that game).

All users get put in the 3 dollar(US) sale credit drawing by default...this is a sort of freebie.

User must be Registered BEFORE this month(So Dec 2019 or earlier), THOUGH I might make exceptions for those registered in this month IF they have games bought on their account or seem to not be bots/spammers/scammers.

Anyone who has won in both or one of my prior big giveaways(especially if both), the Black Friday contest and the more recent one, will get lesser priority/odds of winning to prioritize newcomers who haven't won yet...though they can also enter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Optional Guidelines:

Thanking for one's games is nice and appreciated, but optional.

One should make sure any game one enters for(for themselves or others) can run on the target system(Check store pages for said info)

If one wants to uprate i'd rather they uprate the ones who enter/thank/pariticipate.
=============================================================

Misc:

This is meant to be a nice contest/question thread, meant for civility and good moods, so I ask all to remain somewhat polite while posting here(at least in the contest posts/replies) or take any complaints/etc to another thread/PM......anyone making accusations of bad intent against any askers/the contest/myself or otherwise making trouble(joking that is obvious joking is fine) will be reported to the new community moderators.

Yer IN :)

(Note though that all recent winners only get 1 entry per game(so when rolling each recent winner gets one slot in the rng and those who are not recent winners get 2))

Old rig worker, yukon miner, fur trapper, or hockey player? ;D
I don't want any games, but I will share my ideal travel plan.

I would do around the world journey, but I would start from the East. So, that would be Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Belarus, Russia, Mongolia, China, South Korea, Japan, Canada, USA, and back home. I would visit South America and other places, on my second journey.

I would like to visit the places where people don't normally go to or smaller places. I mean everyone that I know has been to Paris, Barcelona, etc. and while that's fine, people from those countries tell me that, major cities are not the best representation of the country. Like you want to experience France, go anywhere else, but Paris.

This being said, I would go to the places that aren't that much talked about. As for Russia and the USA, I would just get a car and drive from one end to another. Of course, I would travel with someone, as doing it by yourself, while tempting it feels to me that I would get bored and tired quickly.
I’m actually playing Anachronox at this very moment! I’d like to be in, for Omikron. But is it real that this game requires 1GB of VRAM? If so, then I’ll have to give up.
I’m not that into traveling compared with my friends, but if I’d do, I’d like to maybe go to Norway, since my cousins live there. Or maybe Israel, since it’s a place that I heard so much about but never have been.
Have I done it right?

There is also a random 3 dollar sale credit as well, did you notice that? If you did and still want to enter for Omikron instead lemme know.

(Also the check specs optional rule is only for OS...to make sure no one ends up not being able to play what they win)

Also sounds good, but the major cities are also good in some cases(architecture/etc) if one visits the less touristy areas(Not landmarks, I mean tourist traps/etc).

Yeah plus it's better to drive with a sub driver in case one needs to sleep or is drunk/etc.

As for Russia, I think it's best to use trains(or so I hear) and use cars/etc for travelling to/from train stations at each stop one makes, due to the layout of stuff(along with some EU countries as well, I hear).

Not in but am planning on going away the end of this year. I have narrowed it down to three places - Thailand, Las Vegas and Aruba.

Thailand to explore a beautiful country with a couple of nights of partying in Pattaya or Phuket.

Las Vegas because it is somewhere I have always fancied going even though the only gambling I do is the lottery each week. Would book into a nice hotel and enjoy the bars and restaurants on the strip.

Aruba for a more relaxing holiday. Beautiful beaches and a few cocktails at night appeals to me.
Hmm, it’s hard to decide. There’s indeed quite a lot good strategy games on sale this week. But dose “random” means that one may receive something they don’t want? Or the winner gets to choose? If the latter, then I’m in for this slot (if I didn’t misunderstand anything).
I’d like to be in for: We Are The Dwarves/Random 3 dollar Credit.
I'm not much of a traveler but maybe I would like to travel Mexico to know the culture and traditions of that country better. And also enjoy the opportunity to rest and relax on one of the beaches that seem to be very pleasant.

Yup, it's for ANY 3 dollar(US) or lower game in the current weekly sale.

I'll enter you for that & Omikron, and if you change your mind let me know. :)

Sounds like fun(I say this seriously, btw, in case anyone thinks this sarcasm).....hope you have fun if you go with it. :)

(I always wanted to go to camp growing up..sadly parents couldn't afford it and had little time to plan/do such....sis was in the scouts, though, so we sold and ate plenty of cookies)

Thank you! That’s cool.
Not in, but +1. I've always had this notion about going to Majorca & Minorca. There are other places I'd go if I had slightly less money, but if I had all the money in the world, I'd start there.

I'm going to one of those this (again) year.

Alas it's not Thailand or Aruba!
