Hi, igel!
Just noticed I have been blacklisted by you. No problem. But, since I cannot think of the reason, do you mind if I ask why? Of course, you have absolutely no obligation to reply or give a reason, but if I offended you in some way, I would like to know so I can figure out what I might have done wrong.
And sorry for being sneaky like this -- I figured it was the less intrusive way of contacting you.
Cheers!

Hello Thexder,
you haven't offended me.
The reason for the BL is that you only create region restricted GAs, and those often are even further restricted via groups and WL. But you win almost only public ROW GAs. That combination is in my opinion quite unfair.
I do recognise that the region restriction isn't really your fault, but other users from restricted regions manage to at least gift some ROW games. And I've seen users, who gift mostly (only) region restricted, whose wins are also mostly (close to only) region restricted... and that makes it a lot less unfair in my eyes.
I check my BL regularly and take off users off it, if / when the circumstances change that led to my placing them there.
Have a nice evening,
igel

Ok, it is a relief -- I was afraid I might have written some bad joke of some kind.... :)
Yes, unhappily, Steam only sells me region restricted games... If you go further down my history, you will see I gave lots of gifts before region restrictions were in place... Well, I also wish we could bring down such regional differences, but, alas, it is out of my reach, as you said. But you are correct that I end up paying a lot less for games here than folks in other parts of the world, and I cannot give them to folks elsewhere.
On the flipside, I really want to buy a new computer, but in Brazil I will end up paying twice of three times the price for the same hardware I would get in the U.S. (if I can even find it)... And, of course, salaries also are a lot lower around here, but you know that, which partially accounts for the fact that so few GAs are from South America (and why I don't seem to have many region wins -- I do enter them, but, simply, there are very few GAs here!).
About the group GAs, you might notice I have won lots of gifts from the Gog group (a group with about 200 users of Gog.com), so it is just me trying to balance things out -- right now, you will see I have a +4.2 gift credit in that group, but a $22 deficit.
But anyway, I guess I feel better it is about ratios than personal reasons, so all is cool. You are actually in my whitelist now -- though in practice it will rarely be of any benefit to you, since, well.... :( :( :( But, who knows, if I find a chance to buy something without a region restriction, you might see it. :) :)
Again, thanks for taking the time to answer!
Cheers, and have a good Sunday!

I concede that I didn't look back far enough to see all the not region restricted GAs you created. Though w/r/t tho your wins... I looked at the first 2 pages and there are only 8 group wins out of those 50, not sure how that constitutes "lots of GoG group wins".
Do sites like indiegala, Groupees and such sell you restricted games/bundles? I know Humble does it with some of their bundles, but those?
I regularly check my BL, so if you manage to gift some ROW GAs I'll eagerly take you off it... it's not like I expect a 1:1 ratio or such in these circumstances.
Thank you for the WL!

About the GOG group: as I said, I have a +4 credit in there, but a $22 deficit -- the games I won were worth a lot more than what I gave them. I guess you do not have access to the link I put in the previous message? Probably only group members can see that?
About Indiegala and Groupees -- they do not sell in my currency, so I cannot use my Brazilian balance in my bank account. I used to use an U.S. account I had, but now... oh, well.
But we will see -- I might be able to find a way to give more RoW in the future without too much trouble for myself. Meanwhile, I will keep giving to the folks of South America (and, it seems, dig myself further into blacklists)... well, from my point of view, they are still total strangers anyway.
Cheers!

I did see the your link. but I didn't meant to correlate your 8 group wins, out of the 50 ones on the first 2 pages, to your gifts for the group... I was trying to put them in correlation to winning ROW gifts as a whole, seeing as even your group wins are ROW. Seesm like I didn't succeed, probably cause I'm not a native english speaker.
Please ignore my ignorance, but would creating a paypal account help you w/r/t buying from sites like indigala? I ask, because I use paypal to pay in $ on some sites (GoG included) even though my currency (and bank account) is in €.
