Update 08 July

Our members have voted and decided on our last 5 members of the group. I have to admit that this made my life a bit easier. So here are our last members:

  • Weehamster
  • Crossbourne
  • zelghadis
  • kt
  • shadow0524

Hello again community!
Some of you may already know what this thread is for, so if you do please skip the introduction part, but read the rest:


Group Introduction

First of all you should know that this is not a new group, it was first created during last Chrismas when we had a successful event for which you can read further here.

The goal of this group is to gather a certain amount of members that will create unique quality giveaways and share them with the rest. The tricky part is that ALL of those giveaways will end at exactly the same time, regardless of the time zone.

For that to work there are some rules to follow:

  • Members must comply to SteamGifts rules.
  • Every member must create at least one primary giveaway.
  • Primary giveaways must not be bundled or exploited games and should at least get 1/5 of the group size in entries.
  • Created giveaways must end at a specific time and date which is 1st of August 2013 00:00 UTC (check world event clock for your regional time). Giveaways should be created at least 48 hours before that time.
  • There should be no giveaways for the same game (so that people can't win twice the same game, but multiple copies cause no problems).
  • Primary giveaways should have no Contribution Value requirement.

It's simpler than it looks, the hardest part is for me to organize and make sure people follow the rules.

For those that need more details, you should check on the groups profile here.
Also take a look at our FAQ.


How to enter the group

  • You can ask an invitation on this topic, but first read the rest of the bullets.
  • I will not reply to you in this thread if you are accepted or rejected. You will either get an invite, or be contacted in person by me.
  • To avoid having untrutworthy people that could ruin the event for others, there is a restriction of 250$ Contribution Value required for me to consider your application, as well as being a member of this site for at least 3 months.
  • Even if you are eligible due to above requirements, you are not granded to enter, those are just a way to avoid random invitation requests.
  • You should NOT add me on Steam to ask an invite.

What you should also know

  • If you haven't read the rules don't apply for this group.
  • Like it or not, there are already people that have had a great course through our last event or/and other similar group's events that will be on priority line. People I know personally and that I trust that they will fullfil the requirements of this group will be prioritized too.
  • People that have been in past events, are not automatically reinvited upon their request.
  • The maximum member cap is not yet final but it certainly is under 80.
  • Since the creation of this group, there have been some other groups that had similar events. Being in one of those before doesn't make certain for you to be in this one too.
  • The invitation process is a one man's job, so be patient... (probably no invites in the next few hours)

Few last words

Out first event had around 90 members and over 170 giveaways created. After the event there was a consolation round for those with no wins where 20 more giveaways were created. Since it was the first ever such event on SteamGifts there were some issues/misunderstandings that will be taken into account for this new event so that they won't happen again.


tl;dr

This group is not for you

News so far

After 200+ requests for invite to the group that were made in this topic, we have reached 65 members. We already have 126 quality simultaneous giveaways too.

For the last 5 members, I have made a list of 20 people from this thread that could fit. Since it's really difficult to decide which ones to invite, I will either invite none of them, or create a group discussion for our members to vote and chose who should be in.

Since it's a long way to go for the event to end, I'll give a little more time for people that might have missed this topic and still want to enter. Thus, that "voting" (if I decide to do it that way) will be delayed.

Hey there! I'm for sure a bit late, cause of all the work I had to do...

I've been in a giveaway event once and made really bad experiences, but I'd like to try another one. How about this one? If you haven't already choosen your last 5 members and you're still expanding the list, I'd really like to get a chance.

If not, then ok, I'll try to get in next time^^

News So far

I'm pretty happy about some last minute applications, they took their place among the last 20 candidates to fill the last 5 spots.

I will create a private group forum topic, for our members to vote which of the 20 candidates they want in, during the Weekend.


You have two hours to apply. After that point no more applicants will be accounted for this event.

No longer accepting applications

Applications are no longer accepted for this event since we are full. I'll keep this topic open so I can update it with any news, but please don't ask for invites for the time being.

It's not always like that. Quoting from the group's FAQ:

What's your criteria on choosing who joins the group?
- Well as you can guess, I can only judge the internet profile of a person, starting with their SG profile of course. I check to see if they have the attitude of "giving" and not abusing CV values. Later on I check our common friends and groups etc. Of course there are some people that need no introduction who get invited upon request. I like to give a chance to new (to such events) people too. Lastly, past events are taken into account too.


I have had over 200 applications in this topic and group's size this time was set to 70. So you can understand that choosing who gets in requires lots of search. Of course not everyone can get in even if they have a good "internet" profile. It's nothing personal.

One reason I don't want to reply to people in this topic (except if they ask questions about the group) is that they tend to think it's personal, like "you chose him and not me", "I'm not good enough for you" etc. I certainly don't like when I have to explain myself to people. I'm pretty sure that if I asked you to pick a person from my group that you would kick so that you take his place, it would be difficult to choose. That of course, if you want to be fair ;)

Ah, thanks a lot for your kind response! Don't worry, I completely understand! I was just a bit upset, but I know lots and lots of people want to join the group, and there is just no room for everyone.

I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to be like those people creating topics like "I never win anything".

Anyways, thanks a lot for the opportunity! Maybe next year I will get lucky :D

Similr case for me too, I was busy and wasn't paying much attention to the forum so once I realized I was no longer in the group it was too late =( Guess I can only wish good luck for the rest :'D

As for those that didn't manage to get in at all, do not despair, our events will run during big Steam sales, so you may have a chance in the future.
