In my opinion you should make something like this:

  • Giveaway ends
  • The script scan ALL the winners
  • If someone has won 0 giveaways it pick up a random winner from them, if not it goes ahead
  • If someone has won 1 giveaway it...
    and so on, what do you think? This would limiti winnings of someone, who in 300 Entries won 5 gifts...

Yeah he's just a little bit frustrated cause he has 300 entries and 0 wins, while some have 300 entries and 5 wins. I think we're all done here. Current system is just fine.

A system in which every single person has an equal chance of winning is unfair to you?

Randomness can be fair and unfair. You idea is just bad and unfair to others, when you want to win something then join one of these 0-win giveaway groups (it's another question if they accept you).

Yeah but that means that those who have a couple of wins, might as well stop entering, as there's always lots and lots of people without wins, even though I only have 1 win, I think that's ridiculous, everyone should have an equal chance, as they do atm

lol its random choice, probably the most fair system they could

using your system people could just not marked games as recieved for a week and collect as many wins as they could whilst staying at 0 wins.

No, that's just stupid, soory for saying that but the thing about wins is that they are random (Or pseudorandom I don't really know) implementing that would only benefit new members thus more people would create alt accounts to exploit it.

I agree. They have to change it and should go like this. When the giveaway ends , the script will search for midnightshooter. If im in, i win, if im not make re roll and send me an notification to enter the giveaway. Private and Group giveaways that im not in are excluded.

You don't win, because not in a private group. But you can clearly see the discrepancy: the users who give gifts to private groups are also entered in public giveaways. And steal the gifts. That's the whole truth steamgshits

No one steals anything, first of all.

But you may have a point, as for example users who give away on that 1:1 grousp (And thus are kinda exchanging instead of gifting) Have their CV values boosted too, so if CV was designed to reward contributors or gifters (Something I do not fully agree with) that can be considered as exploiting it. But well I thing that's something that can't be dealt with AFAIK. So there's no point on crying over spilt milk...

I didn't mean that Kaitlyn. That's why exchanging is written in italics. The point was that a person in a 1:1 ratio group is actually not giving away. If you know what I mean.

Anyways, I'm cool with it, I was only theorising.

I agree with you and I also think that this problem isn't big. Those people mostly win giveaway that require $1000+ contributor value and there are not many people that reach that value with public giveaways, so they don't really steal the games from other people.

Indeed it's neither big nor of high priority.

I just wanted to say that even daqr's statement migh seem pointless it's true up to a certain point.

But as I've already said that problem won't keep me awake at night. It's only a minor, side flaw of the sistem.

So, let me get this straight - A user with 300 entries and 16 comments (probably some random thanks on a few giveaways) suggests an utterly stupid change related to the RANDOM system of winning?

Also, you are a member of the community from 2 weeks... Why don't you wait a bit and see what happens? People who have been here for almost a year do not complain, yet you do. Oh, that might be because the system is perfectly OK.

Do not think that I am trying to offend you, but there are people with 3000+ entries and 0 gifts won, so I do not see any reasonable arguments that corroborate your hypothesis, claim, complaint or whatever it is...

Almost a year? Shit, I've been here the whole time. Random has worked since the beginning, June 5th, 2011 to now, it's the height of presumption for anyone to suggest that it's a bad plan at this point.
