Happy birthday to myself! :) (Giveaways inside!: ENDED!)

...Yeah, I'm just a random guy who wants to tell you it's my birthday today! :)

...I also know I'm not well known around this page.

...I haven't contributed in a significant way to be recognized heavily (By contributing, I mean, implementing something that might change SG for good).

...I don't have special skills to show off what I can do for the community to notice me.

But I'm happy to be myself, nonetheless! :)

Now, at my 24 years old, I've grown up knowing many things about life, so... I would like to share to you what I think on SG.

First of all... The site is... filled with dark... So much dark... SG is supposed to be about charity, about giving away to others, not caring if your games are being played, or not... Or if your games end up being used for the cards.

If they aren't played, I don't mind at all, really... If they are used for the cards, it's their loss if they don't want to play an amazing game, right?

Also, one has to be very careful on your own ratio (Real CV is the one everybody should care), or else, you'll be classified as a leecher.

Wait, hold on right there...

Why I would be a leecher because of MY luck? Do I commit a crime if I want a game, and then I win it? Since you might be a person with a better ratio than a winner with a worse ratio... Do YOU deserve that game more than that person?

See what I mean? You could give away a ton of games for Real CV, but once you go beyond what you have given away for Real CV, you are then classified as a leecher... What happened to my contributions? Are they suddenly invalidated because I won more than I've given away? Can't you wait until I start giving away again?

Yes, I'm a poor guy... Yes, I sometimes do sacrifices to give, even the most cheap of the games, since I don't win as much as want... And yes... I need most of that money for my own family and for myself... Even though I would love to give 50 Fallout 4's to everybody... I really can't...

Yes... There's so much dark in the site... And about the nomination thing...

It's just for a little giveaway! There are so many more out there! You just need to work harder in how you communicate with people! Make friends! Make contacts! Make people happy! Then you'll eventually join up in a good group where you can give away games for games of WAY less entries than public giveaways, or even private giveaways. THAT... THAT RIGHT THERE... Is the secret to win as many games as you want. There's no secret super complicated formula to success in the site. That's the only way to make it around the site. And I'm always grateful for reaching where I am.

Don't feel bad because you weren't chosen... Instead, be grateful that you even have a family that cares about you, and only you. Don't start dumb stuff around here, when you aren't looking at yourself. Look at your son/daughter, tell him/her how much you love him/her, and tell him/her that they are the best things that happened in the world. In other words, for your family, you'll always be N°1. :)

But... There's so much light as well! There's so much support for people around here who are having a bad time.

There are people who cares about each other, who have made friends, who have found others with mutual feelings about certain activities.

There are extremely helpful people around here, WAY helpful than I'll ever be in a life-time.

You can even confide us your secrets, so we can cheer you up or have a shoulder to cry.

There are people who DO give away because they want to, not to check up in a certain person is going to play that game to keep him in his "kool kids" list.

I don't want you to sympathize with me because it's my birthday... You can even blacklist me for telling my opinion around, because why not? I deserve it for opening my mouth, while you prefer to keep it shut and be safe from the blacklisting, right?

sigh

I'm sorry... I guess it's pretty unusual for a birthday thread to be like this... But I wanted to share with you my opinion on the site as a special occasion.

But let's end it here, alright?

I'll post a couple of giveaways around here, so you guys can enter! No puzzles, no special requirements, nothing... Just the act of having visited my thread is enough to enter :)
