You can buy stuff on steam's site and it gets added to your inventory. I'm guessing you're using your phone? Might as well give it a shot.

I have one lump so far mainly because ai dont have any of the games that you could get coal from. I don't know if you can give it away, but I'll give it to someone if they want it.

It well suck even more if you don't have any coal on the 1st. It's for a draw. The more you have the more times you are entered.

The way I see it is that I'll try to have just one coal for the entry and attempt to craft all the rest to try to get something. I just figure that my chances of winning anything from the main drawing is slim to none and it's better spent on my attempts at the coal crafting.

So if on the 1st I just end up with 7 coals, I won't craft, but if I have 8, I'll use the 7 to craft and have 1 entry.

I have a really good feeling there will be a super rare TF2 item for those who 100% the objectives like the Houwar from last year's. After all, we have 4 unobtainable items in TF2 so far, the Ebenezer, the B.M.O.C., the Headcase, and the diamond ring. My guess it's the Diamond ring since that may be symbolized by the coal.
I felt sorry for you already for buying all those crappy games, but unless you're super great at twitch platformers or just cheese it with an achievement unlocker, you're pretty fucked on that Super Meat Boy achievement.

To date I have 71/72 if the objectives finished. The Super Meat Boy one is all I need for today, but their servers were hacked and they say they are trying to fix it and bring it back up.

Update:Finally got the Super Meat Boy one and it was a BITCH, it took me 4-5 hours and dying hundreds of times but I finally beat those 5 levels. Now i'm 72/72, Only 6 more but they won't get unveiled until tomorrow, but I should have at least 4 of them done already if the wiki i've been following is any indication. http://steamtreasurehunt.wikia.com/wiki ... _Gift_Pile

Update2:All the ones i've done preemptively were the ones for the last day. So now I have 78/78 that is the max for the entire event.

Most likely Sunday will be a catch-up day like what they did for the Summer Sale event. We will see though.
