And that's it? Cool thanks, surprised I didn't have to buy anything to get drops.

Well, I wouldn't go nuts expecting the best since prices have dipped and the odds of getting a souvenir is still very low, but free stuff is free stuff.

e: sold those Coldzera stickers I picked up for < 25 cents each for like three dollars profit. Thanks, Fantasy League.

The only mainly Ukraine team above Flipsid3 is Na'Vi, and they sure as hell aren't dropping Guardian. I guess Hellraisers could be a step-up now that they have oskar and STYKO, but that's debatable.

I've gotten a souvenir package from the last 3 majors just by idling streams while at work. The last one I got two drops.

Is it really that rare to get one?

I wound up with allu so in the spot he went. Glad that dupreeh is destroying since it made my 80 cent investment in his stickers into four bucks of profit.

Seems to be a 1/100 chance per match or so based on the numbers dropped vs the number of viewers

I've never done the whole trade thing before. Didn't know about poo poo like steamrep.com. He asked for an intermediary, I chose sealhammer.

He made a group chat, invited the real sealhammer, we chatted for a bit, he kicked the real sealhammer, then spammed a ton of chat so I missed the kick message, brought the fake sealhammer in, etc



I was tryina get some fade buttplugs, I guess I'll just buy some now or whatever. Fun learning experience 5/5 won't do again.

That is why I basically don't trade. No security, no proof of authenticity, no morals, no hope of recovery. It's either items for items or put up on the market.

e: also gently caress those fancy $400 items, a $40 knife is as functional as one worth $4k

Something like this happened to me, except he didn't even bring in a real intermediary. He trade offered me from the fake intermediate and that's how he got me. Lost $400 in TF2 Unusuals that day, which was a shame.

Yeah I mean the user interface is not as clear as it could be. There was no "recent name change" warning on the imposter. The whole thing was really smooth, I doubt a real trade would have gone as well

Two guys want to trade. One side nominates 3rd party to hold both items, i.e. an escrow situation.

In group chat, real intermediary gets kicked and kick message hidden in a bunch of messages. New guy who is friend of one party replaces him.

Guy hands over items to who he thinks is intermediary, but that guy keeps items.

Poor goon loses all items, gets nothing in return.


On another note, the scammer's Steam Profile ID is GOTFOOLEDBYME, so yeah. Warning signs.

Serious question. Unless real cash is involved, why the gently caress would you need an intermediary? He puts the items you want in a trade window, you put the items he wants up. Looks good? Hit ok. Sketchy AT ALL? Leave chat and block the fucker.

e: I can donate a M4 Daimyo and a SG553 Pulse if you're feeling skin poor. They're only worth a total of a buck anyhow and, well, goonpity.

You were on a laptop right? Then you have to do it through the Intel graphics control panel instead of Nvidia's. Change your desktop resolution to 4:3 and and launch cs:go. This is how I got stretched on my laptop (you can revert it to native resolution after the first launch and it will stick). Dunno if it will carry over to the TV though.

Late but, thanks! I'll try this next time I launch.

maybe you should check your friendslist, set notes for people (it appears next to their name in any chat), check profiles
