Puzzle was nice and relaxing, the secret sgtools rules were... not relaxing

Removed the secret SG rules, sorry! They should be visible now. As it turns out, I had the minimum ratio for sent/won giveaways set to two. It is now at one, which I think is reasonable? Thoughts welcome.

Reasonable is anything, that you choose (though I would probably go for 0.5), but maybe you could edit the OP and add this info there, as many folks will not meet this requirement. Thx for the nice jigidi and for short but awesome train :)

I think it's better to set the rule to real CV ratio than for sent/won ratio, because it favours for e.g. people having multiaccounts on freebie sites and giving away multiple copies of freebies and sheer number doesn't say anything about GA quality

What would you say a good CV ratio would be?

It really depends on your own thoughts about this.
If you want only a small number of entries in your GA set it to 1 like you did with sent/won. If you don't want only the most generous people to enter, anything between 0.5 to 0.8

I have set the Real CV Ratio to 0.8 and removed the 1/1 sent/won requirement.

I can't ride any trains until SG fixes a false positive with cod MW3 being marked as not activated.
Still, have a bump

SGTools is separate from SG. If you think there's a false positive, then report it in the SGTools thread.

I already reported to both, SG and SGTools. SGTools told me they wouldn't put it into the whitelist, because its a fullappid, but the game acts like a DLC. That means SG should change how the game works on their side, not SGTools. Link
SG told me they put a note on my account so it wouldn't get a ban. They also passed the information to the moderator who is dealing with the checking system so he can manage the situation and fix the game on their side.

Hmm... Any idea why Firewatch doesn't appear in your library?

Gellax had a similar problem with an unactivated win recently. Turns out the game was accidentally set to private.

Update: I found 5 cases of games recently gifted through Steam all appearing as unactivated, so I'm pretty sure that Steam is automatically marking gifts as private.

Looks like steam indeed automatically makes gifted game hidden. That a bright idea, Steam, keep it up!
Unhide, Sync but still can't pass, oh well. Thanks LittleFishy, you saved the day again!

Also failed SG tools check (I have more won games than sent). Puzzle art was nice though :3

A bit of hopefully constructive criticism. I think everyone would appreciate knowing beforehand if the SG tools check is passable for them or not. The "Level 6 required. No VAC bans, community bans, etc" left me certain that I would pass, since ratio condition is not that common, but you didn't mention that. So one solution to all the people writing "failed SG tools check" would be to accurately list all the conditions beforehand.

Alternatively, you could make 1st GA hidden behind SG tools check, and post jigidi puzzle link inside, so that only eligible people would have access to it in the first place.

As things stand now, you risk having many people spend 10-30 minutes on a puzzle, only to find out they are not eligible in one way or another. That's certainly an irritating thing to go through.

I have added the requirements to the post to avoid further inconveniences. It most definitely will be made clear in all future trains what the requirements are beforehand, thanks for the suggestions!
